- Calculate the labor and capital share of output: Y=ALαK1-α A= 1.5 α= 0.5 L=Labor K= Capital Factor Markets: Labor Supply (L^S)= 100 Labor Demand (L^D)= 200-5(W/P) Supply of Capital (K^S) = 100 Demand for Capital (K^D)= 200-4(R/P) (W/P)= real wage rate (R/P)= real rental rateCalculate the Real rental price of capital: Y=ALαK1-α A= 1.5 α= 0.5 L=Labor K= Capital Factor Markets: Labor Supply (L^S)= 100 Labor Demand (L^D)= 200-5(W/P) Supply of Capital (K^S) = 100 Demand for Capital (K^D)= 200-4(R/P) (W/P)= real wage rate (R/P)= real rental rateCalculate the real wage rate: Y=ALαK1-α A= 1.5 α= 0.5 L=Labor K= Capital Factor Markets: Labor Supply (L^S)= 100 Labor Demand (L^D)= 200-5(W/P) Supply of Capital (K^S) = 100 Demand for Capital (K^D)= 200-4(R/P) (W/P)= real wage rate (R/P)= real rental rate
- If the natural rate of unemployment was 6%, the current unemployment rate was 8%, and the potential GDP was $4,000 billion, then according to Okun's law the economy would have sacrificed ___ billion in output not produced. A. 160 B. 240 C. 360 D. 480Calculate the Economy's Output Y=ALαK1-α A= 1.5 α= 0.5 L=Labor K= Capital Factor Markets: Labor Supply (L^S)= 100 Labor Demand (L^D)= 200-5(W/P) Supply of Capital (K^S) = 100 Demand for Capital (K^D)= 200-4(R/P) (W/P)= real wage (R/P)= real rental priceIn a country called Uncle Sam Land (USL), the labor demand curve is given by:W = K- 4LWhere W is the wage rate, K is a variabledetermined by accumulated capital stock in thecountry, and L is the labor force in the country.K= 50 is supplied by the capitalists.If the labor force in this country goes up from 10 to 11, what happens to the national income in USL?National Income = income of all workers + income of all capitalists.Select one:a. Does not changeb. Goes down by 44c. Goes up by 8d. Goes up by 26e. None of the above.
- QUESTION ONEa) When do individual(s) belong to a labour force of a country? Does the size of the labour force say something about the intensity of work in the labour market? Explain.b) Use the knowledge of economics to discuss factors to analyse factors that affect people’s’ decision to work.c) When is the firm operating in the short run and when does it operate in the long run? d) Discuss the factor(s) that determine how many workers the firm wishes to hire in the long run.e) In words, explain the difference between real and nominal wages.f) Suppose a firm purchases labour in a competitive labour market and sells its product in a competitive product market. The firm’s elasticity of demand for labour is 0.4. Suppose further that the wage increases by 5 percent. What will happen to the amount of labour hired by the firm?Consider another economy in which the unemployment rate over the next3 years is 6%, 7%, and then 4%. According to Okun’s law, what are thelevels of short-run output Y ~ in this economy?Suppose a country has a production function Y=2K0.5L0.5, where K is the amount of capital and L is the amount of labor. The economy begins with 400 units of capital and 625 units of labor. Find numerical answers to the following. Be sure to show your work. What is the real wage and the real rental price of capital? (Hint: Assume the firms are maximizing profit.) Suppose there is a natural disaster and half of the capital is destroyed. What is the new level of output? What is the new real wage and real rental price of capital? How much output does the economy produce? Please answer all part I will rate
- Part B 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.Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion Production function Y=8*K^.33*L^.66 Now what if there is skill biased technological change that makes capital more productive relative to labor such that alpha or the exponent on K rises to .5 and the exponent on L falls to .5 By what % does real wage change? By what % does R/P change?Suppose that a country experiences a reduction in productivity--that is, an adverse shock to the production function. (This example should sound familiar!)a. What happens to the labor demand curve?b. How would this change in productivity affect the labor market--that is, employment, unemployment, and real wages--if the labor market was always in equilibrium?c. How would this change in productivity affect the labor market if unions prevented real wages from falling?
