Suppose an economy's production is defined by the following neoclassical production function: Y=3K1/3L2/3. Derive the labor demand equation by expressing labor, L, as a function of the real wage, w=W/P Don't answer by pen paper and don't use chatgpt otherwise we will give dounvote
There is evidence that people with more education make more money than those with less education. Use the life cycle model to explain whether these statements are true, false or uncertain. a) Well-educated people maintain higher levels of consumption and savings than less-educated people b) The saving rate of well-educated people is higher than the saving rate of less-educated people. c) In recessions consumption of well-educated people decreases more than consumption of less-educated people. Assume that credit market is imperfect and there are liquidity constraints. Explain your answers.
Consider an economy in which the consumption, investment and production functions are as follows.C = 90 + 0:7(Y - T)I = 250 - 20r F(K;L) = AK1=2L1=2The capital and labor supply are equal to 100 each, A=10, G = 200 and T = 200. Compute theequilibrium values of output, overall labor income, consumption, public savings, national savings,investment, and the interest rate.Suppose now government spending decreases to G=100 (everything else stays the same). Whathappens to output, consumption, savings, investment and the interest rate? Compute the newvalues for these variables.
Consider the intertemporal model of consumption studied in class, with two possible periods. Consider initially that an individual is a borrower. If the interest rate increases: (a)The individual will never become a saver. (b)The individual will always remain a borrower. (c)The individual will be worse off, provided she remains a borrower. (d)The individual can be better off, but only if she becomes a saver. Both c and d.
Consider the household model that you have seen in class but now assume that the goal of the household is to consume twice as much in period 2 as in period 1. She earns $100 in the first period and $150 in the second period. The interest rate is 5%. What is her optimal saving in the first period? Note: Type in your answer approximated to two decimal points, i.e., your answer must be of the form "999.99". I will not be able to fix correct answers that were entered incorrectly, such as "999.999" or "999,99" or "999". In case the last digit in the correct answer is zero, e.g., "999.90" or "999.00", Blackboard will automatically delete it and you should not do anything about it.
Suppose that the economy is summarized by the following: Technology (Production Function): Yt = 10 (Kt)0.3 (Lte)0.7 Consumption function: Ct = 0.8Yt Depreciation rate: 8% (i.e. δ= 0.08) Population growth: 2% (i.e. n = 0.02) Technological growth: 4% (i.e. g = 0.04) 1. Assuming that in 2013 the US economy is in the steady state and L2013 = Le2013 = 8, what is the value of ke2014, ye2014, ce2014 , k2014, y2014, and c2014 ?
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).
With the use of the neoclassical model of investment, explain what would happen to the rental price of capital, the cost of capital, and investment if a hurricane destroys some portion of the capital stock.
In an intertemporal optimizing model consumption, a consumer living from time zero (0) to time t has a longer utility: U (C)= ln C. The market interest rate is r and the consumer is assuming no inheritance. Derive the consumption relationship and the marginal utilities between two adjacent periods. Using a diagram, explain the time profiles of paths based on (i) above. Show that consumption is proportional to the present value of future income at time zero (0) at a given interest rate.
Consider the production function modelled by the following equation: Y₁ = AK₁-α(BH₂)ªL₹ where Kt is capital, Ht is human capital, Lt is the number of workers, B is a scalar larger than 0, A is the (constant) level of technology, 0 < a <1 and 0 <ɛ<1. a) Does this production function satisfy all the neoclassical properties? Discuss the meaning of each property intuitively and mathematically. t Imagine that parents invest in the human capital of their children up to the point where the marginal product of physical capital, Kt, is equal to the marginal product of human capital, Ht. b) What is the relation between Kt and Ht? Use this relation to write down total output as a function of Kt only. Q3(b) in order to make output a function of K alone, after establishing that H and K are proportional, should we also establish H=h*L to remove L from the equation? Or are we treating L and H as independent variables like we did for the previous PSET and question 3(a) above.
