Assume the economy can produce either sports utility vehicles (SUVS) or minivans. The graph below depicts the current production possibilities frontier (PPF). Suppose several new factories are built. Move the end points of the PPF below to show how the PPF changes. Assume that the factory construction affects the economy's ability to produce both minivans and SUVS. This is an example of: economic recession economic contraction. economic growth. economic stagnation. PPF Quantity of SUV. Quantity of minivans

Given the pandemic greatly affecting the economy, how can the economy realign to fit the “new normal” using the elementary concepts of macroeconomics?
. Consider the macroeconomic model of a two-sector economy (i.e. no government or trade) using standard notation. Assume that the consumption function is linear, i.e. of the form: C = a +bY . It is known that when ? = 110, the value of consumption, C , is equal to 160.8, and that when ? = 170, the value of C is 207.6. (a) Determine the consumption function and derive the savings ( S ) function for the model. What is the marginal propensity to consume? (b) Determine the equilibrium level of national income when planned investment ? = 255.
We live in a world where computers and other items of technology seem to get ever cheaper to produce. Such technology is important in the production of a vast range of consumer goods. We wish to analyse the impact of this phenomenon on two key pieces of economic data. The main impact of the decreasing cost of technology is that (select from consumption/investment/government spending/exports/imports/economy-wide production costs/wage costs) would (Select increase/decrease) This would shift the (Select one from the picture attached) which (Select: Increse or decreases the price level) and (Select: increases or decreases GDP) Suppose that the economy is now away from long run equilibrium (GDP is above Yf). The way that the economy adjusts back to equilibrium is that (Select: interest rates/the exchange rate/factor prices such as wages/governement spending) (Select: Increases/decreases). This shifts the (Select one from the picture attached)

The law of Time Preference tells us that A. People always value a good available in the near future more highly than an equal quantity of the same good available in the more remote future, all other things equal B. People prefer a greater quantity of a good to a lesser quantity of the same good C. People will always choose the shortest processes of production D. People will always devote more of their resources to consumption than to investment, all other things equal
COVID-19 has sent the economy of Classica into recession. The finance ministry has advised the government to lower stamp duty and other purchase service charges for those wanting to buy existing houses in order to boost economic growth. As well, the finance ministry wants the government to also cut company taxes as this will lead to firms increasing their level of investment in the economy. The President of Classica has asked you, as her chief economic advisor, for your views. Would a cut in stamp duty and other purchase charges on the purchase of existing houses really boost the economy?

The determinants of productivity Consider a simple economy whose only industry is fishing. In this industry, productivity—the amount of goods and services a worker can produce per hour—is measured by the number of fish one fisherman catches per hour. In the following table, match each example to the productivity determinant it represents. Examples Human Capital per Worker Natural Resources per Worker Physical Capital per Worker Technological Knowledge The fertile waters in which the fish feed and breed An advanced mapping system that determines the likelihood of finding fish schools in different depths and locations The skills workers develop through training before working on and piloting boats The boats in the fishing fleet

Consider an economy of four sectors, Agriculture, Energy, Manufacturing, and Transportation. Agriculture sector sells 12% of its output to Energy, 35% to Manufacturing, 25% to Transportation and retains the rest. Energy sector sells 30% of its output to Agriculture, 30% to Manufacturing, 15% to Transportation and retains the rest. Manufacturing sector sells 30% of its output to Agriculture, 27% to Energy, and retains the rest. Transportation sector sells 20% of its output to Agriculture, 10% to Energy, 30% to Manufacturing and retains the rest. a. Construct the exchange table for this economy. b. Write down the system of linear equation that leads to prices at which each sector’s income matches its expenses, and solve these equations by Gaussian method to find these prices.
