Consider an imaginary price index, the Undergraduate Price Index (UPI), created to represent the annual purchases made by a typical undergradute. The following table contains information on the market basket for the UPI and the price of each good in 2020, 2021, and 2022. The cost of each good in the basket as well as the basket's total cost are given for 2020. Perform these same calculations for 2021 and 2022, and enter the results in the following table.

Which of the following statements best describes the Neoclassical perspective? OWe should study events like the Great Depression and Great Recession to learn more about macroeconomics ORecessions are primarily caused by a decline in spending OFocusing on the changes in potential GDP is more useful than aggregate demand OSticky wages are the primary cause of recessions
MULTIPLE CHOICE Consider the static model of the household studied in class. When consumption and leisure are both normal goods, a decrease in a lump sum tax leads the household to (1) increase consumption and increase labour supply. (2) increase consumption and reduce labour supply. (3) reduce consumption and increase labour supply. (4) reduce consumption and reduce labour supply.

The neoclassical model of marriage focuses on productivity. This model says that there are gains from marriage that results from gains from trade (sharing production, specializing, etc.) List three OTHER gains from marriage (that are NOT associated with productivity advantages).
Back in the middle era, the “Black Death" resulted in the deaths of up to 75–200 million people in European countries. Use the Malthusian model with two graphs for population dynamics and pro- duction function to answer the following questions. 1. Describe its short-run effect on consumption/output per worker, land per worker and popu- lation. Here, the short-run effect implies what will happen right after the pandemic hits. 2. Describe its long-run effect on consumption/output per worker, land per worker and popu- lation. Here, the long-run effect implies what will be a new steady-state after the pandemic disappears. 3. Draw a transition dynamics over time from the old steady-state to the new steady-state in terms of consumption/output per worker, land per worker and population.
Consider the following dialog between Amy, an economics student who currently studies macroeconomics, and Deborah, her teaching assistant.AMY: Hi Deborah, I'm working on my Aplia homework and realized that I do not understand the definition of the labor force very well. Does it include discouraged workers? DEBORAH: Hi Amy, the conventional definition of the labor force excludes discouraged workers. This is because they gave up looking for jobs . Also, be sure not to mistake discouraged workers for part-time workers. The key difference is that the latter cannot find suitable full-time jobs . AMY: I think I understand it now, thank you. DEBORAH: Let me ask you a question to see if you can apply your knowledge. Consider an economy with 20 full-time workers, 16 part-time workers, 10 workers who have been laid off but are actively looking for a new job, and 3 formerly full-time workers who have been without a job for over a year, failed to find any, and gave up looking. Can you…
You're a staffer working for Senator Joe King, a diehard opponent of minimum wages. The Senator wants to persuade other members of Congress to oppose a new proposal to raise the minimum wage. He needs you to calculate the cost to society of a $17 minimum wage according to the neoclassical model of labor markets. Suppose the market for labor has the equations LD= 172 - 4W LS= -30 + 23W where W is the wage and L is the number of workers. Give your answer in dollars, rounded to the nearest integer.
