The Black Death: In the middle of the fourteenth century, an epidemic known as the Black Death killed about a third of Europe’s population, about 34 mil-lion people. While this was an enormous tragedy, the macroeconomic con-sequences might surprise you: over the next century, wages are estimated to have been higher than before the Black Death.(a) Use the production model to explain why wages might have been higher.(b) Can you attach a number to your explanation? In the model, by how muchwould wages rise if a third of the population died from disease?

ADVANCED MACROECONOMICS: MODERN MACROECONOMICS MODEL It is known that the maximization of the household utility function is as follows: U₁ = fety InC₁ + (1 − y) ln(L – 1,)]dt Withconstraint : K₁ = (R₂ - S)K + Welt - Ct (2) The firm produces output through the production function (Yt = F(Kt. Lt. At)) Cobb Douglas constant return to scale with the aim of maximizing profit. It is assumed that the economy is a closed economy. A. Derive the labor supply equation. Explain how the relationship between increased household preferences for (i) consumption and (ii) leisure time on labor supply. B. Derive the labor demand equation. Explain how the relationship between (i) wages and (ii) capital to labor demand. C. Determine the amount of labor (level of labor) from the above economy in steady
Suppose the economy of the hypothetical country “X” is currently in equilibrium at point A on thegraph. There were two major shocks to the economy in 2020.First shock was related to oil prices; the other was related to consumer confidence about futurebusiness conditions. Oil Shock: The economy X faced a rise in the average price of oil along with the rise of world price ofoil.E) Would an increase in oil prices cause a demand shock or a supply shock? Redraw the diagram toillustrate the effect of this shock by shifting the appropriate curve. What happens to theAggregate output and price level after the shock? (3)F) If policymakers wish to prevent the equilibrium output from changing in response to the oilprice increase, should they use contractionary or expansionary fiscal policy? (Redraw the graphfrom part E and show the change) (4)G) Even if the economy moves back to original Aggregate output, will there be any drawback?

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?
a) “The long run is a misleading guide to current affairs. In the long run, we are all dead.Economists set themselves too easy, too useless a task if in tempestuous seasons theycan only tell us that when the storm is long past the ocean is flat again.” is a famousquote from John M. Keynes. With this sentence, whom he was responding? And, whatwere his arguments against them?b) Explain the importance of the Great Depression in development of the moderneconomic thought. According to Keynes, what was the reason for the economic crisis?What was his solution for the problem? Briefly explain his theory and give references tothe history to explain why almost all the mainstream economists embraced Keynesianideas at the time.
Suppose firms become optimistic about futurebusiness conditions and invest heavily in new capitalequipment.a. Draw an aggregate-demand/aggregate-supplydiagram to show the short-run effect of thisoptimism on the economy. Label the new levels ofprices and real output. Explain in words why theaggregate quantity of output supplied changes.b. Now use the diagram from part (a) to show thenew long-run equilibrium of the economy. (Fornow, assume there is no change in the long-runaggregate-supply curve.) Explain in words whythe aggregate quantity of output demanded changesbetween the short run and the long run.c. How might the investment boom affect thelong-run aggregate-supply curve? Explain.
