2. Model. Imagine that the world is now described by the Malthusian A. What are the assumptions that make the world Malthusian (rather than being described by the Solow Model)? B. What is the effect of a pandemic, such as the Black Death or COVID- 19, in the short and long-runs in the Malthusian model? Assume the diseases do not permanently impact health they just kill a bunch of people quickly and the survivors are left the same as before. C. Now assume that, similar to Question 1, the fertility rate increases as a result of the pandemic. How does this change your answer to part B?

Quality-Quantity Trade-off: Becker’s (1981) theory proposes a quality-quantitytradeoff in fertility choices. Parents pay for having kids (childcare, feeding thechild etc.) and well as nurturing the kids (providing education).a. What does Becker’s theory imply about children born in big families?b. To test this model, we need to identify whether it is true that parentswould invest more in kids’ quality (e.g. education) if they had fewer kids.Suppose we compare the education of children in large families and smallfamilies, and find that children in small families get more education. Doesthis imply that being born into a large family causes a child to get loweducation? What mechanisms can you think of that can lead to thisassociation?c. Economists have used twins to test the presence of a quality-quantitytrade-off. In fact, we find that there is mixed evidence for the Q-Q model.What can explain this?

You want to make a model showing how people decide to decorate their houses and lawns. You assume that homeowners follow the art idea of the "Golden Ratio" to decide where one item should be in relation to another. In reality, the homeowners have never heard of the "Golden Ratio," but the predictions made by your model are still very close to how things end up decorated. An economist would say your model O is not ideal due to the lack of realism O is effective as long as the homeowners learn to use the Golden Ratio in decorating as a result of your study is effective because economics focuses on predictions from models, not the assumptions used to create them O is not ideal because it does not look sufficiently like the real world
What are the two main approaches to tackle the problem of global warming and climate change? Next, compare the two approaches along the following dimension: Based on the current state of scientific and economic knowledge, which of the two types of policy is most likely to be cost-effective?

Please no written by hand solutions Discuss how do you think Marxian Economics treats the theme of environmental crisis. Keep the following question in the back of your mind: if the destruction of nature and human beings is harmful and not desired by anyone, why do we still experience the negative impacts of that? Address the following topics: How technical change may harm the environment, How the choice for specific technologies is not necessarily an option, but it may be dictated by the market. Is capitalism compatible with sustainability? (Hint: both yes and no are possible answers, but I want you to focus on why).
