The Black Death: (a) Wages were higher after the Black Death because of diminishing returns. Our production model exhibits diminishing returns to labor: each additional unit of labor increases output by less and less. So if the amount of labor is reduced, the marginal product of labor — and hence the wage — increases. The reason is that capital stays the same: each remaining worker is able to work with more machines, so his productivity rises. In fourteenth-century Europe, the marginal workers could move to better land and discard old broken-down tools. Graphically, this can be seen by considering the supply-and-demand diagram for labor in Figure 4.2(b). If the supply of labor shifts back (because a large number of workers die), the equilibrium wage rate increases. Draw this graph — including the shift in the labor supply curve — to see the result for yourself. Mathematically, the result can be seen in the solution for the wage rate in our production model,…
In Avengers: Infinity War the character Thanos seeks to use the power of the infinity stones to eliminate half the people in the universe.
If output of the universe can be modeled by y= Ax F(K.L) where F(KI)= Kl/3, 2/3 with an initial K = 100, L = 100, and A = 1,
then how much would output change if Thanos gets his wish? (Calculate the percent change and give your answer as a decimal. It will
be negative because output will be lower.)
The data shows that an increase in the
Provincial Minimum Wage of 60% in City A
in 1999 did not lead to an increase in
unemployment. On the other hand, the
same amount of increase in the Provincial
Minimum Wage in City B actually causes
the number of unemployed to increase.
According to one economist, this is
because the calculation of the increase in
the Provincial Minimum Wage in City B
does not pay attention to the amount of
wages that should apply, so that it is
burdensome for entrepreneurs and they
are forced to lay off their workers. You are
asked to provide a theoretical basis (with a
labor supply-demand curve) why an
increase in the minimum wage in City A
and City B, despite having similar
increases, has different effects.

This is happening because our local labor force lacks the required technical and managerial skills much-needed in this era of the Industrial Revolution. Thus, for Bangladesh to attain sustainable economic growth through the rise of potential GDP, it is imperative to improve the productivity of the workforce. a) Describe the forces that might help the potential GDP of Bangladesh to grow using the concepts of the Aggregate labor market.

- Kariega is a small town in the Eastern Cape, surrounded by automotive industry giants such as Volkswagen South Africa and Goodyear. These industries (directly and indirectly) generate thousands of jobs. These jobs vary from more specialised jobs such as production, industrial andelectrical engineers to information technology specialists and nurses to general assembly workersand canteen staff. The community directly surrounding the factories are generally living in informal settlements where poverty and unemployment levels are high and education levels are low. The Eastern Cape is one of the most poverty‐stricken provinces in South Africa and the presence of the automotiveindustry in this area is critical for sustained job provision and continued job creation.
