This exercise applies the basic Ricardian model of one factor and two goods. The table below contains the unit labor requirements in Foreign and Home for each of two goods. Use this information to answer the question that follows. Chocolate Wine Home ac = 4 hours per pound aLw = 5 hours per gallon Foreign ac = 2 hours per pound aLw = 4 hours per gallon where: a c = number of labor hours needed to produce a unit of chocolate in Home; a w = number of labor hours needed to produce a unit of wine in Home; = number of labor hours needed to produce a unit of chocolate in Foreign; a Lc = number of labor hours needed to produce a unit of wine in Foreign. a Lw Which of the following statements is true? O A. Foreign has the absolute advantage in both chocolate and wine production and the comparative advantage in chocolate production. O B. Home has the absolute advantage in both chocolate and wine production and the comparative advantage in chocolate production. OC. Home has the absolute and comparative advantage in wine production. O D. Foreign has the absolute advantage in both chocolate and wine production and the comparative advantage in wine production.

Let the national-income model be: Y = C + I0 + G C= a+b +b(Y - T) (a > 0, 0 < b < 1) G = gY (0 < g < 1) Consider the national-income model found above. Provide a general equilibrium solution for each endogenous variable (Y, C, G) as a formula of the parameters given. Create a numerical example by selecting and justifying a set of parameters that are close to real estimates for the US economy of $19 trillion GDP.
In the 1990s, developed countries agreed to double their aid to Africa by 2015. A report by the United Nations conference on Trade and Development noted that sceptics had raised concerns about how much effect the doubling of aid would have on output and incomes in Africa, if the quantity of other inputs such as human capacity and institutions were to remain fixed. It also pointed to the divisions between the sceptics with some suggesting the return would diminish when aid reached only 4% of GDP, while others thought they would diminish only when it had reached 50%. It should be added that even if the returns do begin to diminish, they could still be very important.In 1887, Cecil Rhodes created the De Beers Consolidated mines Company, which controlled about 90% of the total world supply of rough uncut diamonds with its South African mines. Until 2001, De Beers produced about half of the world’s diamonds in its mines and marketed about 80% of the world’s diamonds. Diamond producing…
Exercise 4: Growth and capital over-accumulationSuppose two countries, A and B, with the same production function Y = KαL1−α. Thevalue of α is 0.30, the growth rate of population is 2% and the depreciation rate is 5%.a) Show that with price-taking firms the share of labor must be 1 − α.b) Compute the stock of capital, output and consumption per unit of labor in the steadystate if the savings rates were 25% for country A and 35% for country B.c) Compare both economies to the Golden Rule.d) Explain what would happen to both countries if suddenly their savings rate becamethe Golden Rule savings rate.
Consider an economy with total population of 400. Let these 400 workers be equally divided between two groups: the rich and the poor. The poor have less human capital per person than the rich do.Within each group, individuals do not differ by their skill level. Each individual in this economy accumulates human capital. Each period, a person has one unit of time to split between work and human capital accumulation. There is no savings in this economy Each person devotes u=0.8 units of time to working in each period. Suppose that b is equal to 15 and 12 for the rich and poor respectively. In the economy, output is produced using the efficiency units of labor. That is output in period t is given by Yt=zu(200Rt+200Pt), where Rt and Pt are the human capital of a rich and poor person, respectively, at the beginning of period t. Let z=1, R0 =10 and P0 =5. 1. What is the initial level of human capital of the country at the beginning of period 0? 2. What is average labor income among the rich…

Assume that a person's income directly affects their purchasing power for a particular product. We have a customer named John who has a per capita income of $35,102 that is looking to buy a new car.If the current US population is 335,707,897, the current per capita income is $40,363, and total new car sales in 2022 were $1,131,009,556,950; what would John's per capita spend be for a new car, assuming his income directly affects the amount he can spend?
The belief that we can spend our way out of low growth is inconsistent with the best availableempirical evidence and ignores South Africa’s recent poor performance in using governmentspending as a tool to unlock much‐needed economic growth. Gambling with our future on riskyeconomic strategies that have failed elsewhere is something we are not prepared to do.’ TitoMboweni is South Africa's Minister of Finance. The increased government spending noted in Q.3.1. above has to be financed inone way or another. Describe three ways in which government spending can be financed.
Suppose that all social programs simultaneously become more generous. In particular, suppose that there is an increase in UI benefits, and also an increase in welfare benefits, which are represented in the two-sided search model as payments to everyone who is not in the labor force. What will be the effects on the unemployment rate, the vacancy rate, the labour force, the number of active firms, the aggregate output, and the labour market tightness? Draw the two-sided search model diagrams and explain the results and economics intuitions. Imagine you need to explain the mechanisms to your friends who do not seem to have learned the two-sided search model, so you may need to start with introducing key economic concepts very clearly. (Hints: for simplicity, assume the case when there is a uniform payment p to each person not in the labour force, and an increase by p in the employment insurance benefit.)
