Question 2 The last several decades has seen a significant amount of human capital entering Australia from foreign nations ranging from low-skilled to high skilled labour and seen as an important factor of the rate of invention and innovation within an economy. Imposing restrictions on skilled immigration policy may deteriorate the overall level of human capit given it is an integral part of production, and hence output. COVID- 19 has also shown the restrictive effects of the movement of human capital across countries. Assume there is no fiscal policy response from the government for the following questions. 1. Explain and illustrate the short-run effect of the Australian Government imposing strict ban on human capital entering Australia, by significantly reducing the numbe of skilled immigrants entering the nation over the next 20 years on macroeconomi equilibrium using the AD-AS model. .

Suppose a worker’s skill is captured by his efficiency units of labor. The distribution of efficiency units in the population is such that worker 1 has one efficiency unit, worker 2 has two efficiency units, and so on. There are 100 workers in the population. In deciding whether to migrate to the United States, these workers compare their weekly earnings at home ( w0) with their potential earnings in the United States (w1).The wage-skills relationship in each of the two countries is given byw0 = 700 + 0.5sandw1 = 670 + swhere s is the number of efficiency units the worker possesses.a. Assume there are no migration costs. What is the average number of efficiency units among immigrants? Is the immigrant flow positively or negatively selected?b. Suppose it costs $10 to migrate to the United States. What is the average number of efficiency units among immigrants? Is the immigrant flow positively or negatively selected?
The economy of Ghana is made up of three sectors namely Agriculture, Industry andServices. These three sectors contribute to the national output. For decades prior to the2000s, the Agricultural sector contributed the most to the national output. Sadly, inrecent years however, the sector has been the least contributor to national output.Trends in production of major food crops such as maize, rice and sorghum show thaton-farm productivity has stagnated and the exploitable difference between the actualand the potential output of most of the crops (yield gap) has widened. Low andinadequate levels of usage of productivity enhancing technologies such as quality seedsof improved varieties and fertilizer, thin extension services and weak market linkagescontributes to the poor agricultural performance. It was against this background thatthe NPP-led government implemented one of her flagship programmes “Planting for Food and Jobs”.The programme is primarily aimed at making subsidized improved…
Consider a large tract of land that is used for grazing sheep. Now consider two differentproperty ownership regimes: common property ownership, in which all shepherds haveunrestricted access to the land, and private property ownership, in which there is a singlelandowner who hires shepherds up until the point where their wage is equal to the marginalproduct of their labor. Show graphically how common property resource ownership can lead toovergrazing (too many shepherds using the same open-access rangeland) in the absence ofinstitutional constraints that would ensure an efficient level of resource usage. Contrast this withprivate property ownership. On your graph, label the axes, the average and marginal products oflabor, the wage, scarcity rents, the efficient number of shepherds, and the number that would beexpected under common property ownership. Explain the source of the inefficiency. Wouldprivatization be equitable? Would it be possible to achieve an efficient resource…
Consider an overlapping generations model. Suppose population grows at a 2% rate, and wage grows at a 6% rate. Generation 2 has 500 people, who have an average salary of $30,000, and everyone pays 8% of their income to generation 1. What is the total amount generation 2 pays to generation 1? If generation 3 pays generation 2 the same dollar amount gen-eration 2 paid generation 1, what percentage of their income dothey pay?
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?

Please no written by hand Suppose that in a country one-third of all females born die in infancy, one-third of all females die in infancy, one-third die at age 30, and one-third live to age 60. Women bear one child at age 25, one child at 28, one child at age 32, and one child at age 35. One-half of children are girls. b.) Suppose the mortality is reduced so that there is no infant mortality. Half of all women die at age 30 and a half at age 60. Compute the NRR.
TFR and Birth Rates:a. Define the crude birth-rate and the total fertility rateSuppose country A and B have are identical in their population size andstructure, and rate of mortality, but A has a higher average TFR than B.b. What could be some of the reasons why A has a higher fertility ratethan B?c. What will be true about the size and age structure of the population in Arelative to B in 25 years? Will the proportion of young people to oldpeople be higher or lower in A?d. Now suppose the governments of both A and B impose a one-child policy(the TFR was greater than 1 in both A and B). Suppose the policy is fullyenforced (i.e. all families indeed have one kid). Is the fertility rate thesame in A and B? Is the birth rate same in A and B?e. Is the population growth rate higher or lower in A?f. As more time passes, the population growth will eventually slow down inboth countries. What will happen to the proportion of old in the populationas population growth slows down?
If these population changes were only due to human migration, what conclusions could be made, based on the map? a) The majority of states are experiencing immigrationtherefore, the overall country has an increase in population size b) The majority of states are experiencing emigration therefore, the overall country has an increase in population size. c) The majority of states are experiencing immigration; therefore, the overall country has a decrease in population size d) The majority of states are experiencing emigration; therefore, the overall country has a decrease in population size
