Represent a subsistence economy in a Solow-Swan model. Subsistence: Consumers need a minimum amount of consumption (c = 10 apples). Until they get that amount they will not save. • Assume all output not used for Investment is consumed. ● Suppose At increases in a subsistence model. Use graphical analysis of the Solow Swan Model to determine what will happen to the follow variables in the new equilibrium: • GDP • Investment • Capital

(a) Explain the characteristics of the production function used in the Heckscher-Ohlin (H-O)model. (b) Explain with the help of a graph how we can determine the specific combination oftwo goods that can be produced in the economy in the H-O model.
Suppose in our model, lifespans increased due to a productivity in- crease. What would likely happen to hours worked and leisure over the lifetime of a representative consumer. (a) Let’s consider one of two common ways of implementing this change. Suppose the increase raised both lifespans and the amount of years consumers are healthy enough to work by the same amount, how would that likely affect the measured numbered of hours work by prime aged adults within a given year? What would likely hap- pen to the retirement age? (b) Let’s consider the other way to implement it. Suppose the change in lifetimes came about changes in technology that delayed death but did not extend the amount of years consumers are healthy enough to work. What would likely happen to hours worked within a year? What would happen to the retirement age? (c) In the US, the generalized stylized fact is that the actual age of retirement is not increasing. Nor are hours worked per week. Why are both of the…
G. Menges developed the following econometric model for the West German economy*: Yt = β0 + β1Yt−1 + β2 It + u1tIt = β3 + β4Yt + β5 Qt + u2tCt = β6 + β7Yt + β8Ct−1 + β9 Pt + u3tQt = β10 + β11 Qt−1 + β12 Rt + u4t where Y = national incomeI = net capital formationC = personal consumptionQ = profitsP = cost of living indexR = industrial productivityt = timeu = stochastic disturbances Required: a. Which of the variables would you regard as endogenous and which asexogenous?b. Is there any equation in the system that can be estimated by thesingle-equation least-squares method?c. What is the reason behind including the variable P in the consumption function?
. 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.
Consider now the two-period model in general equilibrium, so that prices, investment, and labor supply are endogenous, i.e. the production economy. Analyze and carefully explain graphically and in words the general equilibrium effects of a decrease in TFP for a benchmark economy with no frictions.

Consider an H-O economy in which there are two countries (US and France), two goods (wine and cheese) and two factors (capital and labor). In each question below you are given partial information about the model and asked to infer some other part. Treat each question separately and independently. 1. Suppose a decrease in the price of cheese causes a decrease in the wage rate in the US economy. Which factor is used intensively in cheese production in France? Which H-O theorem is used to get this answer? Explain. 2. Suppose France exports wine, the capital-intensive good. Which factor benefits from free trade in the US? Explain. 3. Suppose workers in France benefit when tariffs are increased on cheese imports. Which factor is used intensively in cheese production? What is France's abundant factor? Explain.
