Suppose a country has 100 million inhabitants. The population can be divided into the employed, the unemployed, and the persons who are out of the labor force (OLF). In any given year, the transition probabilities among the various categories are given by Moving into: Employed Unemployed OLF Moving from: Employed Unemployed OLF 0.94 0.20 0.05 0.02 0.65 0.03 0.04 0.15 0.92 These transition probabilities are interpreted as follows. In any given year, 2 percent of the workers who are employed become unemployed; 20 percent of the workers who are unemployed find jobs, and so on. What will be the steady-state unemployment rate?

JUST ANSWER SUBPART 1 There are two individuals, Individual A and Individual B. Individual A has an income (Y) of 500 million Rupiah per year. If Individual A is sick, he will lose 25% of his income. Meanwhile, Individual B has an income (Y) of 100 million Rupiah per year, and if Individual B is sick, he will lose 75% of his income. The probability of Individual A and Individual B being sick is the same, which is 10%. If the satisfaction level of Individual A and Individual B is determined by their income level, based on the following function U(Y)=ln Y, would Individual A and Individual B prefer not to have health insurance? Explain Faced with fair actuarially insurance, how much premium is offered to Individual A? Is the premium rate offered the same for Individual B? Explain with the support of graphic illustrations. The government decides to provide compulsory health insurance with a premium rate for Individual A and Individual B, which is 2% of the income of each individual. In…

ADVERSE SELECTIONSomet Health Insurance Company wants to sell a health insurance product for $700 permonth. There is no requirement for healthy people to have insurance coverage. Thecompany conducts a survey to see how different populations respond to the proposed cost.People with no illnesses and disabilities, generally the young and healthy, respond that theydo not spend $700 on healthcare in an entire year, and most feel they would not waste somuch money on premiums when the chance of needing surgery or expensive healthcaretreatments is so small. However, older, sicker people think that $700 per month is a greatdeal, as most of them spend far in excess of this amount on healthcare. It seems like agreat deal for them. What will happen to the costs of the health insurance if only the older, sicker peopleenroll?
