- Consider an economy with 500 people in the labor force. At the beginning of every month, 5 people losetheir jobs and remain unemployed for exactly one month; one month later, they find new jobs andbecome employed. In addition, on January 1 of each year, 20 people lose their jobs and remainunemployed for six months before finding new jobs. Finally, on July 1 of each year, 20 people lose theirjobs and remain unemployed for 6 months before finding new jobs.1. What is the unemployment rate in this economy in a typical month?2. What fraction of unemployment spells lasts for one month? What fraction lasts for six months?3. What is the average duration of completed spell of unemployment?4. On a particular date, what fraction of the unemployed are suffering a long spell (six months) ofunemployment? plz solve part 4 ? Thanks.Solve this economic Suppose the unemployment rate was 7.4 percent, far above the full-employment threshold (= 5 percent). Instructions: In part a, round your response to two decimal places.

- Between January 2012 and January 2019,U.S. employment increased by 17.3 million workers,but the number of unemployed workers declined byonly 6.3 million. How are these numbers consistentwith each other? Why might one expect a reductionin the number of people counted as unemployed tobe smaller than the increase in the number of peopleemployed?Structural unemployment is sometimes said toresult from a mismatch between the job skills thatemployers want and the job skills that workers have.To explore this idea, consider an economy withtwo industries: auto manufacturing and aircraftmanufacturing.a. If workers in these two industries requiresimilar amounts of training, and if workers atthe beginning of their careers can choose whichindustry to train for, what would you expect tohappen to the wages in these two industries? Howlong would this process take? Explain.b. Suppose that one day the economy opens itselfto international trade and, as a result, startsimporting autos and exporting aircraft. Whatwould happen to the demand for labor in thesetwo industries?c. Suppose that workers in one industry cannot bequickly retrained for the other. How would theseshifts in demand affect equilibrium wages both inthe short run and in the long run?d. If for some reason wages fail to adjust to the newequilibrium levels, what would occur?Question1) a) A labor market is in steady state equilibrium with unemployment rate u = 0.04 and probability of re-employment per month λ = 0.12. What is the probability of becoming unemployed in a month? b) What is the size of the labor force when the number of unemployed is U = 20,000? How long does an unemployment spell last on average? c) An increase in unemployment benefits makes the duration of unemployment spells 10 months. What is the new level of unemployment? d) In a simple job search model, the probability of an unemployed worker finding a job (λ) is equal to the probability of receiving a job offer (µ) times the probability of accepting it (p). Assume that the reduction in λ from part a) to part c) is not due to changes in unemployment benefits, but rather due to changes in µ. If p remains constant at 0.2, what is the reduction in µ? e) It is not realistic to assume that p remains constant. Explain why. Assuming that the wage distribution is fixed, in which direction…
