On the above PPFs, imagine that the poor nation is operating at (5,18) and the wealthy nation is operating at (6,78). We can conclude that: (P.S. You might have to magnify the picture-try holding Ctrl and scrolling with the mouse wheel.) The poor nation is producing inefficiently and the wealthy nation is producing efficiently. The wealthy nation is producing inefficiently and the poor nation is producing efficiently. Both nations are producing inefficiently. Both nations are achieving production efficiency.

Q2 When things are traded in a market, or embedded in government tax statistics, they are relatively easy to measure. Many of our measurement difficulties arise precisely because some of the most valuable things are not easily measurable. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) casily captures the output of washing machines, but not of happiness, health or environmental depreciation. Since we do not buy and sell clean air or moderate temperatures in a marketplace, governments are not automatically collecting statistics for use in national accounts data. People who visit France quickly leam that the French have a good quality of life, better than you would expect simply by looking at their GDP. They enjoy a nice climate, long lunches, access to Mediterranean beaches and little congestion since they have plenty of land in relation to their population. They also retire at a relatively young age and, having long life expectancy, spend plenty of happy years in retirement. Their GDP statistics are…
ackground information: A worker in the United States and a worker in China can each produce 1,000 pairs of jeans per week. A worker in the United States can produce 50 cell phones in a week, and a worker in China can produce 100 cell phones in a week. Answer the following questions based on this information.Part A: If each country attempted to produce both jeans and cell phones, how many jeans and cell phones could each country produce? What would be the total number of jeans and cell phones produced by the two countries combined? (Show your work.)Part B: Calculate the opportunity cost of producing jeans for each country. (Show your work.)Part C: Calculate the opportunity cost of producing cell phones for each country. (Show your work.)Part D: Determine how many jeans should be produced by each nation. (Show your work). Part E: If each nation should specialize in producing jeans and cell phones, explain why; use economic terminology you have learned in this unit in your…

According to World Bank (2012), in Ethiopia, the poorest 20 percent of population received 9.3 percent of income or consumption and the richest 20 percent of population received 39.4 percent of income or consumption; in South Africa, the poorest 20 percent of population received 2.7 percent of income or consumption and the richest 20 percent of population received 68.2 percent of income or consumption. What conclusion can we reach based on the above statistics?
The data below are from the economies of Ishgandar and Nonburmia. Ishgandar Nonburmia Year Population GDP Deflator Nominal GDP Year Population GDP Deflator Nominal GDP 1 5 100 $200 1 10 100 $300 2 5 125 $375 2 10 110 $440 (e) Assume that in Year 1 Nonburmia is operating inside its production possibilities curve and that Nonburmia’s production possibilities curve remains unchanged from Year 1 to Year 2. As a result of the change in real GDP from Year 1 to Year 2, does Nonburmia’s economy move closer to or farther away from its production possibilities curve? Explain using numbers for real GDP and state what will happen to cyclical unemployment in the short run.

"Assume a small island economy with a fixed number of inhabitants, which operates under a closed economy model without trade or external aid. The island's currency is the Shell (Sh), and its economy is based on two primary goods: coconuts and fish. The production technology for both goods has not changed over years, and there is no expectation of technological progress in the near future. The residents consume both goods, but due to recent overfishing and a blight affecting coconut palms, there is a concern about future scarcity of both resources. An economist studying the island proposes a policy of conservation, suggesting limits on fishing and coconut harvesting. Assess the likely short-term and long-term economic impacts of this policy on the island's price levels, consumer behavior, and general well-being of the inhabitants, considering the current lack of growth factors and external influences. a) In the short term, what would be the likely impact of conservation policies on…
