- Economics Consider the following one-period model. Consumer Utility function over consumption (C) and leisure (L) 1 1 U(C,L) = C2L2 Total hours: H = 40 Labour hours: NS = H-L Non-labour income: TT Lump-sum tax: T Hourly wage: W Firm Production function: Y = zF(Nd) = zNd Total factor productivitiy: z = 2 %3D Government Government spending (exogenous): G = 20 Suppose that the total factor productivity, z, increases to 4. What is the income effect of this wage change on labour supply(NS)? A. +6.89 B. +4.39 C. -6.89 O D. -4.39 O E. None of the aboveFrom what I understand, LBC with work-leisure is c_1 + c_2 / (1+r) = w_1(h-l_1) + w_2(h-l_2) / (1+r). When I manipulate this equation, I get all three of them, which is perplexing since apparently not all of them are correct.Define the term cost-of-living index?
- if there is unemployment in the labor market, what would you recommend as a set of policies or programs to address such problems. Illustrate your recommendations geometrically (i.e., graphically).Calculate 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 rateWhich of the following variables is not a real variable? Group of answer choices The amount of corn The dollar wage The nominal interest rate adjusted for inflation The price of bananas relative to the price of oranges
- Calculate 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 priceCase study The recent report on SMEs across the country asserted that the contribution of SMEs to GDP and employment is not encouraging (Ndumanya, 2013; SMEDAN, 2012). The mortality rate of SMEs in the country is now about 80% before their fifth year anniversary, which was 15% in 2002 (SMEDAN, 2012). Hence, this indicates the low growth and high mortality rate of SMEs in the country. Consequently, the performance of SMEs in Nigeria is considered to be below expectations compared to other lower middle income countries (Ndumanya, 2013). Recently, Malam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) affirmed that Nigerian SMEs cannot perform to expectations because of certain constraints related to financing, as a result of their unprofitable business operations (Bangudu, 2013a; Sanusi, 2013). Based on these, some of the studies have reported a significant relationship between EO and firm performance (Fairoz et al., 2010; Li, Huang, & Tsai, 2009; Lumpkin &…Suppose that a labor economist performs a statistical analysis on economywide worker wages using standard, measurable explanatory factors, such as job characteristics, years of schooling, and so forth. How much of the variation in worker wages can be accounted for by such measurable explanatory factors? Somewhat more than 60% Nearly 100% Somewhat less than 50% About 0% Which of the following factors are typically omitted from the quantitative analysis of wages but can help explain otherwise unaccounted-for disparities? Check all that apply. Chance Attractiveness Natural ability Effort Race O O O O
- If production of a good increases from 47 to 103, what is the percentage change in the quantity produced? Enter a number rounded to two decimal places. Do not enter a percent (%) sign. If the annual percentage change in the price of a good falls from 4% to 2% then the price of the good is falling over time. Group of answer choices True FalseConsider the following one-period model. Consumer Utility function over consumption (C) and leisure (L) U(C,L)= C^(1/2)L^(1/2) = Total hours: H = 40 Labour hours: = H - L Non-labour income: t Lump-sum tax: T Hourly wage: w Firm Production function: Y = zF() = z Total factor productivitiy: z = 2 Government Government spending (exogenous): G = 20 Suppose that the total factor productivity, z, increases to 5. What is the substitution effect of this wage change on labour supply()? A. +8.51 B. -5.51 C. -8.51 D. +5.51 E. None of the aboveThe labour market in an economy is characterised by the following equations: W = 0.7-0.9u ре Wage setting: W = 0.5 P Price setting: In which W is nominal wages, pe and P are expected nominal prices and nominal prices, respectively, u is level of unemployment. Consider a linear production function for firms such that Q = N, i.e., production for firms (Q) depends only on the number of employees (N). Considering this information, which of the following statements are CORRECT: U The price mark-up (u) for this economy is 1 (i.e. µ = 1). O If actual output is below potential output, actual unemployment rate is below 0.22, (i.e. uț < 0.22). The equilibrium unemployment in this economy is 0.22 (i.e. ue = 0.22). U If wage setters become less responsive to changes in unemployment (e.g., from -0.9 to -0.7), the equilibrium unemployment decreases.
