- Supposed that there is widespread inefficiency in agricultural production in a region, due to low uptake of new information and new farming practices. Now suppose that agricultural extension services provided by the government lead to higher efficiency in production. a) Is this likely to improve overall wellbeing among farmers in the region? Does the answer to this question depend on whether the low efficiency prior to the government intervention is due to low allocative efficiency, low technical efficiency, or both? b) Does your answer to (a) depend on whether raising efficiency is costless for the farmers or not? Illustrate your answer graphically.Conversely, show geometrically the effect of a decrease in Price (i.e., BELOW the equilibrium price). What “economic problem” is created now in the market. Measure geometrically he magnitude or distance of such “economic problem”. Again, in the face of such an economic problem, where private sector buyers and suppliers could not do anything more, which economic actor should come to intervene properly? Discuss what should that intervener do amidst such economic problem faced by the microeconomic actor – NOTABLY THE PRODUCER OR SELLER. As an Economist (or beyond the limits of Economic studies), what would you recommend to the VEGETABLE PRODUCERS and to the GOVERNMENT as well? Discuss exhaustively.Assume an economy produces only two goods ( shoes and computers ) with a fixed amount of productive resources and technology and employing all its productive resources to the maximum. Production in this economy is subjected to the laws of diminishing marginal returns and resources are assumed to be fully optimized. In addition, the cost of sacrificing shoes for computers and vice versa is 1. On the basis of the forgoing assumptions , drawthe economy's production possibility frontier on hindsight of the relevant assumption and why the points outside the frontier unattainable?.
- Brighton and Hove Albion generated ticket sales of £15,000,000 from its home matches in the 2018/19season. Assume the University of Sussex expanded its undergraduate intake by 1,500 students inthe corresponding academic year, with each student paying £9,200 per year. On the basis of thesetwo revenue streams, which of these two organizations is likely to generate more additional economic activity in the local Brighton economy? Explain your answer and outline clearly any assumptions you make in undertaking your analysis.An economy depends on two basic products, wheat and oil. To produce 1 metric ton of wheat requires 0.23 metric tons of wheat and 0.32 metric tons of oil. Production of 1 metric ton of oil consumes 0.08 metric tons of wheat and 0.13 metric tons of oil. Find the production that will satisfy a demand for 500 metric tons of wheat and 870 metric tons of oil. The input-output matrix is Aequals left bracket Start 2 By 2 Matrix 1st Row 1st Column 0.23 2nd Column 0.08 2nd Row 1st Column 0.32 2nd Column 0.13 EndMatrix right bracket. [ ? ]metric tons of wheat is required to satisfy the demand.a) Suppose demand for good X is given by QD = 900- p/2 where p is the price and QD the quantity demanded. Supply is given by QS = p/4. Suppose 60 TL tax is imposed on each unit of X that is purchased. What is the burden of the tax? Explain the key factors that determine the incidence of the tax. b) Describe the main differences between partial and general equilibrium analysis in the context of examining tax incidence.
- Supposeg1increases, but stillc1+b1+g1<1. Using a graph of the goods market, show how we would represent an increase in the value ofg1on equilibrium output y. Be sure to label all axes, curves, and equilibrium points. Suppose instead,c1+b1+g1= 0. Is the equilibrium in the goods market still possible? If so, what is the equilibrium output? You must explain your answer to receive full credit.E2 Describe the difference between the "endogenous" and the "exogenous" variables of an economic model. Which type of variable is, by construction, independent of all of the other variables in a model? In the supply/demand model of a competitive market which variables are endogenous and which are exogenous (give at least 3 of each type)?Assume an economy producing only two goods (shoes and computers) with a fixed amount of productive resources and technology and employing all its productive resources to the maximum.Production in this economy is subjected to the law of diminishing marginal returns and resourcesare assumed to be fully optimized. In addition, the cost of sacrificing shoes for computers andvice versa is 1. On the basis of the foregoing assumptions, answer the following questions: What happens to the PPF when the economy discovers an improved technology for producing shoes?
- The graph directly below depicts the production of oil from the Gulf of Mexico, with market demand, MEC, MSC, and MPC all drawn on the figure. The X axis defines barrels of oil pumped from the gulf. What is the wedge in terms of barrels of oil? 1. 9 2. 4 3. 5 4. There is no wedge hereIn 2020, the International Monetary Fund prescribed a carbon tax as the best way for governments around the world to meet their carbon emissions targets. A carbon tax is an economywide tax levied per tonne of carbon emitted by firms as a by-product of their production. Such a tax will likely increase business costs in the short run, especially for those firms whose production processes emit significant amounts of carbon. In the longer term, however, it is hoped that the tax will provide incentives for firms to invest in alternative production techniques that emit less carbon. Using the AD-AS framework, explain how the imposition of such a tax might impact inflation, economic activity and employment in the short run and the long run. Can you please please please show it in a graph the AD-AS framework its very important. Please have a through look and answer it.Assume an economy producing only two goods (shoes and computers) with a fixed amount ofproductive resources and technology and employing all its productive resources to the maximum.Production in this economy is subjected to the law of diminishing marginal returns and resourcesare assumed to be fully optimized. In addition, the cost of sacrificing shoes for computers andvice versa is 1. On the basis of the foregoing assumptions, answer the following questions:i. Draw the economy’s production possibility frontier on hindsight of the relevantassumption.ii. Why are points outside the frontier unattainable? iii. Identify three ways by which the economy can attain the level of production outside thePPF. iv. What happens to the PPF when technological change overwhelmingly favours theproduction of computers? v. What happens to the PPF when the economy discovers an improved technology forproducing shoes? vi. Assume now that the sacrifice ratio is greater than 1, show what will happen to the…
