Say that the average worker in the U.S. economy is eight times as productive as an average worker in Mexico. If the productivity of U.S. workers grows at 2 for 25 years and the productivity of Mexicos workers grows at 6 for 25 years, which country will have higher worker productivity at that point?
50. Between 2008 and 2016, Russia's real GDP increased by6.7%, its labor force grew by0.5%, and its total capital stock grew by17.5%. Assuming that labor's share of production (and total income) was60%, by how much did total factor productivity change?
Thomas Malthus presented a dismal forecast for man-kind, largely due to the effects of population growth. Show that immigration, like population growth, tends to create unemployment in the short run and reduce the standard of living of workers in the long run, even though it does enhance the economy’s ability to produce. (Use diagram and analysis)
Suppose we measure labor productivity by the amount of output (horizontal axis) per unit pf physical capital per worker (vertical axis) when everything else is constant. A more effective training program is provided to all workers. With all else equal, what change can we expect on the labor productivity plot? a. An upward movement along the labor productivity curve. b. A downward movement along the labor productivity curve. c. An upward shift of the labor productivity curve. d. A downward shift of the labor productivity curve. e. The labor productivity curve will remain unchanged.
Write the production function (human capital (H) is included in TFP) and the logarithmic form of this production function then explain why the GDP growth will be at the end ofa given long period lower than at the beginning of this period, assuming that the average contribution of TFP to GDP average growth during the period is constant.
is it true labor productivity is the activity measures output per labor hour per employee?
explain the importance of production function and how can we enhance the productivity of a factor.
Country Has Cobb-Douglas production function: Y(it) = A(it) x K(it)1/3L(it)2/3 Where: Y(it) = realGDP K(it) = Capital L(it) = No. workers employed in country (i) on date (t) Suppose multiple countries share the same alpha = 1/3 but different levels of totalfactorproductivity (A(it)). How would one calculate the average annual growth rate of totalfactorprodctivity of each country
Assume that Economyland’s production function is Y = F (K, L) = K 0.5 L 0.5Where Y is output level, K is the amount of capital input, and L is the amount of laborinput. a) What is the per-worker production function, y= f (k) for Economyland? b) Assume that 10 percent of capital depreciates each year and savings rate is 20 percent,find the steady-state level of capital per worker for Economyland. Then find the steady-state levelof income per worker and steady-state level of consumption per worker. c) Is it possible to save too much? Why?
Writing in 1776, Adam Smith was concerned not only with the profound effects of the division of labor on productivity (as your textbook notes) but also its stultifying effect on the human capacity. InThe Wealth of Nations, Smith warned that performing a few simple operations over and over again could render any worker, no matter his or her native intelligence, “stupid and ignorant.” a. Does the division of labor in today’s economy continue to have both these effects? b. What are the policy implications? (Radical)
Write the production function in its simplest form (human capital being included in TFP) and explain the nature of each factor as well the theoretical value of the parameter Alpha. In other words what does the value of Alpha represent regarding the returns of each factors of production?
Consider the economies of Hermes and Gribinez, both of which produce gaggles of gop using only tools and workers. Suppose that, during the course of 10 years, the level of physical capital per worker rises by 5 tools per worker in each economy, but the size of each labor force remains the same. Complete the following tables by entering productivity (in terms of output per worker) for each economy in 2016 and 2026. **THE TABLE IS ATTACHED** Initially, the number of tools per worker was higher in Hermes than in Gribinez. From 2016 to 2026, capital per worker rises by 5 units in each country. The 5-unit change in capital per worker causes productivity in Hermes to rise by a _________ (LARGER/SMALLER) amount than productivity in Gribinez. This illustrates the _______ (CATCH-UP/NATURAL RESOURCES/TECHNOLOGY/HUMAN CAPITAL) effect. THANK YOU FOR THE HELP
