Consider the following model of the economy Production function: Y = AKN â€“ N2/2Marginal product of labor: MPN = AK â€“ N. Where the initial values of A = 8 and K = 10. The initial labor supply curve is given as: NS = 20 + 9w. Cd = 401 + .50(Y-T) â€“ 500rId = 800 â€“ 500rG = 500T= 100 Md/P = 469 + 0.5Y- 1000r Nominal Money supply M = 4000 We assume that expectedinflation is zero (?e?= 0) so that money demand depends directly onthe real interest rate (since i = r). 1 a) Solve for the labor market clearing real wage (w*), theprofit maximizing level of labor input (N*), and the full employment level ofoutput (Y*). Please show your work. Draw two diagrams verticallywith the labor market on the bottom graph and the production function on thetop graph. Be sure to label everything including this initial equilibrium pointas point A b) Derive an expression for the IS curve (r in terms of Y). Please show all work c) Find the real interest rate that clears the goods market. Please show all work…
Consider an economy that experiences an outflow of working age people and a decline in aggregatelabour supply as a result. Suppose the aggregate labour demand curve is not affected by this change.(a) Explain, with the aid of the labour-market-equilibrium diagram, how this will affect the equilibriumreal wage and the full-employment level of employment. (b) Explain, with the aid of three separate IS-LM-FE diagrams, how this will affect real output, realinterest rate and the general price level in three steps:(i) before the general price level adjusts;(ii) when the general price level is adjusting;(iii) after the price adjustment process is completed.Is the general price level increasing or decreasing during the price adjustment process? Explain theintuition of your answer with reference to the AD-AS framework.

If thebroom factory’s workers cannot find new jobsbecause their skills are no longer marketable,they are classified asa. seasonally unemployed.b. frictionally unemployed.c. structurally unemployed.d. cyclically unemployed.
a) Which of the following is not true? Frictional unemployment on the labor market arises from a lack of information in the labor market Cyclical unemployment exists because of a recession It is logically impossible for both the unemployment and the employment rates to both simultaneously increase or decrease together Structural unemployment exists because of mismatched worker skills and job availability Full employment requires that no cyclical unemployment exists on the labor market b) Suppose we have the following: (4th order) Value of trees $5 per tree and 1,000 tree harvested; (3rd order) 1,000 trees fabricated in to $25 wood pulp per ton (1,000 tons): (2nd order) 50,000 rolls of facial tissue ($10 each); (1st order consumer goods) of 30,000 boxes of Kleenex tissue at Safeway for $1 each. Which of the following it the correct calculation of GNP? $540,000 $400,000 $450,000 30,000 None of the above is correct
Why does substitution bias arise if we calculate the inflation rate based on a fixed basket of goods?
Unemployment rates have been higher in many European countries in recent decades than in the United States. Is the main reason for this long-term difference in unemployment rates more likely to be cyclical unemployment or the natural rate of unemployment? Explain briefly.
explain whether the given statement is true, false or uncertain. Then provide arguments to justify your selection. Workers and employers in economy expected 3% inflation rate for 2015 but actual inflation turns out to be 5%. Kylie, a casual worker with no labour contract, has remained unaffected while Susie, a fixed term employee, has become worse-off.

Assume that an economy operates according to the sticky-wage model. The nominal wagewas set to make labor supply and labor demand equal when the expected price levelequaled 120 (as measured by the consumer price index).a. Use a graph of the labor market to illustrate what happens to the quantity oflabor employed if the actual price level over the time period when wages arestuck equals 110.b. Use a graph of the production function to illustrate how the quantity of outputproduced changes if the actual price level equals 110 when the expected pricelevel is 120.c. Given the unexpectedly low price level, will this economy be operating above,below, or at the natural rate?
