Assume that the production function for a country is given by Y=√K and annual investment is given by the function I=γ×YI where γ=0.280, and that the yearly depreciation rate is 4.67%. Suppose that this year, the output in the country is 1, and a neighbor country's output is 50% higher. Calculate the time it would take for the country's output to catch up with its neighbor's output. Assume the neighbor country's economy is neither growing nor shrinking.
Please answer the following question. Thanks! Consider a classical economy described as follows: ? = ?^(1/2)?^(1/2) , where L is the amount of labor and K is the amount of capital. The economy has 10,000 units of labor and 10,000 units of capital. Consumption (C): 5,020-100r, Investment (I) : 2,000-100r, Taxes (T): 2,500, Government Purchases (G) :3,000
Assume that digital revolution popularizes the use of artificial intelligence (computers) in the workplace. The production function becomes: Y = 0.25 K(2/5)(ACN)(3/5) where C stands for the number of computers.: a) Use growth accounting to predict the increase in total output in response to an increase in the number of computers by 10 percent. b) The nominal interest rate on government bonds equals 9 percent and inflation equals percent. The rate of GDP growth is equal to the result obtained in (a). Use the debt dynamics equation and graph to explain whether or not the level of public debt in percent of GDP can be stabilized if the government runs a primary deficit. c) Use the neoclassical investment model (equation and graphs) to assess the impact of a decrease in the number of computers on investment (in traditional physical capital K).

Exercise 4. You are a manager at a certain factory that designs small gadgets. The factory has been quite successful in the past years. Your CEO is wondering whether or not it is a good idea to expand the factory this year. The cost to expand the factory is $1.5M. Doing nothing will result in expected $3M in revenue if the economy stays good and people continue to buy plenty of gadgets, but only $1M in revenue is expected if the economy is bad. On the other hand, expanding the factory carries an expected $6M in revenue if economy is good and $2M if the economy is bad. Assume there is a 40% chance of a good economy and a 60% chance of a bad economy. Also, assume the costs of operating the factory account to $.5M if the factory is expanded and $.3M if not. a. Illustrate a Decision Tree showing these choices. b. What should you do?
Consider an economy with dynamics captured with the following graph: ke-1 k' k" k* 45- Economic activity necessarily fluctuates over time K₁+1 = (k₂) Observe that there are three possible values of k. Explain what happens in this economy if its initial capital stock is just to the left of the middle value of k'. the economy reaches a high level of economic activity the economy converges to a low level of activity, i.e., it will be trapped in poverty the actual trajectory is indeterminate
For an economy where: C= 75 + 0.7Y |= 125 a) Solve for Y". Include your calculations. b) Draw the AE-Y graph for the economy. Include the intercept and slope of the AE function. c) On your graph from part (b), demonstrate the change that would occur if businesses increase their investment due to a change in interest rates.
(1)The following macroeconomic model describes the economy of Sunderland. 1. Y= C +I + G + NX 2. C = 220 + 0.63 Y 3. 1 = 1000- 2000R 4. G = Go 5. NX = 525-0.10Y-50OR 6. M (0.1583Y-1000R)P (a)ls it a fair characterization to refer to equation #2 as a "simple" consumption function? Explain. (b)Derive the expression for equilibrium real output, Y, for this economy. Note: In your final expression for Y, restrict coefficient values to three decimal points. (c) Suppose government spending is 1200 , money supply by the Central Bank is 900 and the price level is 1, find the value of GDP (Y) and equilibrium interest rate (R) for Sunderland. Income Identity Consumption function Investment function Government Expenditure Net export function Money market equilibrium (2)The questions in this section are related to the macroeconomic model of Sunderland. (a)The expression you are asked to derive in question #1b can be considered an aggregate demand curve. Do you agree? Explain your answer. (b)Sketch…
15. Total expenditures in a country (in billions of dollars) are increasing at a rate of f(x) = 8.22x+87.13, where x = 0 corresponds to the year 2000. Total expenditures were $1584.9 billion in 2002. a. Find a function that gives the total expenditures x years after 2000. b. What will total expenditures be in 2016? a. What is the function for the total expenditures? F(x)= (Simplify your answer. Use integers or decimals for any numbers in the expression.) b. In 2016, total expenditures will be S (Type an integer or a decimal.) billion.
