Has the price of natural gas fallen or risen over the recent past and what affect does this have on demand for both labor and capital. Why has this happened. What would happen if expectations were that this situation would be short lived?
Consider an economy (call it country G) that is implementing climate change legislation more rapidly than other countries (refer to them as ‘row’ for ‘rest of the world’). Explain how this decision by country G could affect its long-run markup. Using diagrams, explain your forecast for the effect of this decision on real wages, inequality and employment in G in the new equilibrium. In the light of your findings, what advice would you give to a policy maker in G?

- Suppose that your economy is in long run equilibrium. The aggregate demand and aggregate supply in the market is represented by the following functions: AD:= 360 – 4Y AS: P = 20 + 4Y Something occurs in the economy and the aggregate demand changes to: AD: P = 400 – 4Y Calculate the inflation rate that occurs with the change in aggregate demand.arrow_forwardSuppose the economy is operating at a point where output is less than the natural level of output. Which of the following statements is correct given this information? Select one: a. Workers will revise upwards price expectations. b. The inflation level will be higher next period than this period. c. The unemployment rate is less than the natural unemployment rate. d. The inflation level is less than the expected inflation level. e. None of the above.arrow_forward. Assume that the economy experiences no change in productivity, money demand or its natural rate of unemployment in either the short or long run. The inflation rate responds immediately to correspond to the money supply growth rate. However, wage inflation adjusts to changes in the inflation rate with a time lag. Draw a diagram with inflation on the vertical axis and the unemployment rate on the horizontal axis that illustrates the Phillips curve relationship in the short run. Label the curve as PC1. Mark a point N on the horizontal axis that represents the natural rate of unemploymentarrow_forward
- The positive relationship between inflation and unemployment in the Philips curve comes from that: Answers: A. Firms has adaptive expectation. B. Job searchers overestimate the future inflation. C. Firms have no expectation. D. Job searchers underestimate the future inflationarrow_forwardSuppose a firm’s hourly marginal product of labour is given by MPN = 0.2(200 − N), where N is the number of labour hours used in production. The amount of labour supplied by workers, NS, is given by NS = 100 + 5w, where w is the real wage. (a) Suppose the current real wage is equal to 20. How much labour will the firm want to hire? How much labour will the workers want to supply? Is there excess supply or excess demand of labour in the economy? Do you expect the real wage to go up or go down in this case? (b) Find the equation of the labour demand and calculate the equilibrium levels of real wage and full-employment. (c) If the government decides to tax the labour income, the equation of labour supply becomes NS = 100 + 5(1 − τ )w. Suppose τ = 40%. Repeat part (b). Compared to the results in (b), do the equilibrium levels of real wage and full-employment increase or decrease? Provide an intuitive explanation to your answers.arrow_forwardConsider the Efficiency Wage story. Suppose we had several periods of 0 inflation.

- With respect to the concept of inflation, it is correct to say that ________. options: A) inflation increases the purchasing power of consumer dollars. B) inflation and deflation are really almost synonymous in practice. C) the consumer price index is one way to measure inflation. D) inflation occurs when the amount of money taken out of the economy exceeds the amount of money put into the economy. E) inflation occurs when people have more money to spend as the quantity of goods available increases.arrow_forward(Medium Run) Labor market equilibrium is determined by the following 2 equations: W = Pe F(u,z)P = (1+ m) W Where:W=nominal wage; Pe =expected price; u=unemployment rate; z=catch-all variables; P=price; m=mark-up. b. By using the IS-LM-PC framework, explain what would happen in the short run, if the central bank decides not to change the policy rate (interest rate)! c. Compare your answer to point b with the condition where the central bank decides to increase the interest rate in order to stabilize inflation!arrow_forwardexplain 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%.
