Explain how intertemporal substitution is important for current labour supply and for the current demand for consumption goods. Intertemporal substitution can affect current labour supply and current demand for consumption goods when OA. changes in the real interest rate influence consumers to adjust their present versus future tradeoff in consumption-savings and work-leisure decisions. B. the real wage rate increases or decreases, impacting consumers' decision to work and current consumption capabilities. OC. inflation causes changes in purchasing power, leading to consumers adjusting their work-leisure preferences and consumption patterns. OD. shocks to the economy, such as natural disasters, result in short-term changes to consumers' consumption habits and their ability to work.

What is natural rate of unemployment? When do we say an economy has full employment? 2. Identify what type of unemployment will result from the following scenarios a. Jane has completed college and quit her job at Tim Horton so she can work full-time in her marketing field: b. The clothing store George used to work for was shut down as the clothing brand is now selling all its collection through its online website: c.The business Hank was working for had to shut down as there has been a decrease in overall demand in the economy:
hy does a measure of labor productivity—the output produced per worker– rise for many firms during recessions? During the boom years period of 2005through November 2007, the annual average output per worker was lower in U.S.manufacturing than during the Great Recession of 2007–2009 as well during therelatively low-demand years since then through 2013.Firms produce less output during recessions as demand for their products falls.Consequently, firms typically lay off workers during recessions. Thus, whetheroutput per worker rises or falls depends on whether output or employment fallsby more. The labor productivity pattern over the business cycle differs across in-dustries. If we know about a firm’s production process, can we predict whetheroutput produced per worker will rise or fall with each additional layoff?

economic Suppose that an economy’s production function is Cobb–Douglas with parameter a=0.3. a. What fractions of income do capital and labor receive? b. Suppose that immigration increases the labor force by 10 percent.What happens to total output (in percent)? The rental price of capital? The real wage? c. Suppose that a gift of capital from abroad raises the capital stock by 10 percent.What happens to total output (in percent)? The rental price of capital? The real wage? d. Suppose that a technological advance raises the value of the parameter A by 10 percent. What happens to total output (in percent)? The rental price of capital? The real wage?
Consider the possibility that government spending increases the amount of hours to be worked in a given time period, say by providing child care. Assume again that the initial amount of consumption and leisure are still just affordable after an increase in spending. How will an increase in government spending affect consumption, hours worked, output and welfare? [Hint: This exercise requires creatively reinterpreting how we apply our model to the data. Think about how we constructed the bounds on our labor/leisure model in terms of hours worked. Remem- ber our model does not have any sleep requirements built into it for instance.]
Which of the following statements is true? According to Okun's law: Select one or more: O a. unemployment is illegal. O b. more unemployment causes more inflation. O c. the unemployment rate is correlated with the growth rate of GDP. O d. higher growth of gross domestic product tends to cause more unemployment. O e. the higher the growth rate of the Gross Domestic Product, the lower the growth rate of unmeployment, other things being equal.
(7)Which one of these is false when compared to the relationship between marginal and average product? (a) When average product is increasing in labor, marginal product is greater than average product. That is, if APL increases in L, then MPL > APL. (b) When average product is decreasing in labor, marginal product is less than average product. That is, if APL decreases in L, then MPL < APL. (c) The relationship between MPL and APL is not the same as the relationship between the marginal of anything and the average of anything. (d) When average product neither increases nor decreases in labor because we are at a point at which APL is at a maximum, then marginal product is equal to average product.
