Suppose you are given the aggregate production function for an economy and the amount of available technology increases for this economy. If labor and capital constant are held constant, increase in technology will causes labor productivity to decrease. True False
Linear
Suppose the economy's production function is Y=AK0.3N0.7. If K = 2000, N = 100. Calculate the output level of the economy.
Please answer the following question as soon as possible. Thanks a lot! Imagine we live in a classical world. Suppose that the production function is ? = ?^(1/2)?^(1/2), where L is the amount of labor and K is the amount of capital. The economy has 100 units of labor and 100 units of capital.
Sketch a production function relating output to labour input. Now imagine that the amount of capital per person increases, thanks to the government borrowing to invest in more capital. Use dotted lines on the same diagram to show the impact on (i) total output and (ii) the average product of labour. Explain your answer. Imagine that the demographic response to a higher standard of living is strongly positive. Using a different colour of line on the same diagram, show how this demographic response to higher incomes would go on to affect incomes in the future. The population is aware that the government borrowing required to finance this capital investment will need to be paid back via tax rises, so they respond by reducing their spending. Using a “Keynesian cross” framework and sketch diagram, model this response as a fall in autonomous consumption, c0.
The following graph shows a variety of possible production functions (PFs) in an imaginary economy, assuming constant levels of human capital and technology. Because human capital and technology remain unchanged, each of these production functions represents a different level of the capital stock. Fill in the table with the curve that corresponds to each of the capital stock levels described. Levels of Capital Stock This corresponds to which curve? (PF1, PF2, PF3) Highest Middle Lowest Fill in the blank: The slope of the line connecting the origin to point B is __________ (options: flatter, steeper) than the slope of the line connecting the origin to point A, because the slope of such a line is equivalent to ___________ (options: productivity, the marginal physical product of labor, marginal cost).
At some point, if all factors of production are being used, it becomes impossible to generate additional output, so the AS curve becomes (two words, 1 mark). 18
