- Over the last several decades improvements in computer software, hardware and robotics have dramatically altered the ability of machines to do complex repetitive tasks. Discuss the implications for semi-skilled skilled workersas a result of this improvement. Discuss how the cost of the new technology influences the choice of inputs used in production and the rate of adoption of the new technology. Can you please answer this question so there will be no plagiarism, you have answer for this question in your website, but more likely it is already copied by someone else“According to the World Bank, South Africa remains a dual economy with one of the highest inequality rates in the world, with a Gini Coefficient of 0.643.” Explain in depth: A discussion relating to the attributes that make the Gini coefficient a desirable means of measurement; • Explain the implications of a Gini Coefficient of 0.643 relating to the South African economy, retail sector and brand of the organisation. Derive practical examples from the Lorenz curve to substantiate your explanation.No written by hand solution Suppose there are two sectors, call them A [agriculture] and M [manufacturing]. People earn say $5 an hour in agriculture and $10 an hour in manufacturing. Suppose we are interested in the share of the bottom 40% and the richest 20%. Let x be the share of people in manufacturing. Derive a formula that gives you the shares of income earned by the lowest 40% of the population and the richest 20% of the population as a function of x. This is a connection between structural transformation and the behavior of inequality.
- E1 3. [Employment and Unemployment] Suppose a country has a working-age population of 500people. The demand and supply functions of its labor market are:w=300-0.5L w=60+0.1Lwhere w is the wage, L is the quantity of labor. The labor market has search friction so thatthose that are looking for a job may not immediately find one even when there are openings.Specifically, Assume the number of job matches (i.e. employment) is given by: 0.8L(a) Find the equilibrium wage and the actual number of employed people. Calculate thelabor force participation rate and unemployment rate. (b) The COVID-19 pandemic lowers the labor demand, and the new labor demand becomesw=240-0.5L. Assume that the wage can adjust quickly, find the equilibrium wage and theactual number of employed people during the pandemic. (c) Briefly explain in words, and with a specific example of each, the difference betweenstructural and frictional unemployment.need to make 2 economic graphs, one being a pro for minimum wage increase from 7.25/hour to 15 dollars. Then a con for the minimum wage increase. - My argument for a pro on the topic is the ability for people to be able to improve their standard of living and many people will come out of poverty. - My argument for con is is business laying off workers due to higher pay.Being able to work with and understand percentages and ratios is important in many different careers. Consider each of the following situations that require work with percentages or ratios. a. Some government funding is related to the number of people living in poverty in a particular area. The 2010 population of Caswell County, NC, was 23,719 and 21.7% of the people were living in poverty. (Source: quickfacts. census.gov/qfd/states/37/37033.html) How many people were living in poverty in Caswell County, NC, in 2010? b. Wisconsin farmers received an average price of $17.60 per 100 pounds for their milk in April 2012, down $1.60 from April 2011. By what percentage did the average price of milk decrease between April 2011 and April 2012? (Source: www.nass.usda.gov/Statistics_by_State/Wisconsin/Publications/Dairy/mkallpri.pdf) c. The Centers for Disease Control estimates that 1 in 6 people in the United States suffer food poisoning in any given year. At the beginning of 2012, the…
- Using a supply and demand analysis show first the labour market in equilibrium, and thenshowa) the effect of a reduction in the demand for labour as a consequence of a pandemic.b) The effect of a government subsidy to producers to restore the employment of labour.Provide a diagram with clear axis details. Make sure to explain what sort of assumptions youare making on the elasticities of demand and supply.There is evidence that, other things equal, a 10 percent increase in the number of workers having a particular skill level leads to about a 4 percent decline in wages for workers with that skill level. In addition, this 10-to-4 ratio appears to hold true whether the increase in labor supply is caused by domestic changes in labor supply or by an influx of foreign immigrants. a. Suppose that 42,000 computer programmers work in Silicon Valley. If the number of computer programmers in Silicon Valley increases by 1,260 because of a change in U.S. immigration laws, by how many percentage points would you expect the wage of computer programmers to fall in Silicon Valley? b. Suppose that 8,000 full-time cooks work in restaurants in the Denver area. If Denver becomes popular both with U.S. citizens and with foreigners such that 400 full-time cooks move to Denver from other parts of the United States while 80 full-time cooks move to Denver from other countries, by how much would you expect the…Suppose that a car dealership wishes to see if efficiency wages will help improve its salespeople’s productivity. Currently, each salesperson sells an average of one car per day while being paid $20 per hour for an eight-hour day.a. Suppose that if the wage is raised a second time to $40 per hour, the number of cars sold rises to an average of 2.5 per day. What is now the labor cost per car sold? $______ per vehicleb. If the firm’s goal is to maximize the efficiency of its labor expenditures, which of the three hourly salary rates should it use: $20 per hour, $30 per hour, or $40 per hour? $______ per hourc. By contrast, which salary maximizes the productivity of the car dealer’s workers (cars sold per worker per day)? $_______ per hour
