The Big Push model illustrates alternative cases where the economy can reach an equilibrium with a higher level of total output with coordinated efforts by modern firms and cases where such an outcome is impossible despite such efforts. Explain with a graph.

The following graph illustrates the market for cashews. It plots the monthly supply of cashews and the monthly demand for cashews. Suppose a stretch of unseasonably good weather occurs, allowing cashew growers to produce more cashews per hectare. Show the effect this shock has on the market for cashews by shifting the demand curve, supply curve, or both. Note: Select and drag one or both of the curves to the desired position. Curves will snap into position, so if you try to move a curve and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther. PRICE (Dollars per ton) 30 24 18 12 6 0 0 12 24 36 Demand QUANTITY (Thousands of tons) Supply 48 60 Demand Supply ? A number of the growers are concerned about the price decrease initiated by the stretch of favorable weather conditions, as they believe it will lead to decreased revenue. Using elasticities, you will be able to determine whether this price change will lead to a rise or fall in total revenue in this market.
The Black Death: (a) Wages were higher after the Black Death because of diminishing returns. Our production model exhibits diminishing returns to labor: each additional unit of labor increases output by less and less. So if the amount of labor is reduced, the marginal product of labor — and hence the wage — increases. The reason is that capital stays the same: each remaining worker is able to work with more machines, so his productivity rises. In fourteenth-century Europe, the marginal workers could move to better land and discard old broken-down tools. Graphically, this can be seen by considering the supply-and-demand diagram for labor in Figure 4.2(b). If the supply of labor shifts back (because a large number of workers die), the equilibrium wage rate increases. Draw this graph — including the shift in the labor supply curve — to see the result for yourself. Mathematically, the result can be seen in the solution for the wage rate in our production model,…

The following graph illustrates the market for cashews. It plots the monthly supply of cashews and the monthly demand for cashews. Suppose an increase in pests destroys a major portion of cashew trees. Show the effect this shock has on the market for cashews by shifting the demand curve, supply curve, or both. Note: Select and drag one or both of the curves to the desired position. Curves will snap into position, so if you try to move a curve and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther. PRICE (Dollars per ton) 30 24 18 12 6 0 0 4 8 12 Supply Demand QUANTITY (Thousands of tons) 16 Total Revenue (Thousands of Dollars) 20 Demand Supply ? One of the growers is pleased with the price increase caused by the pests because she believes it will lead to increased revenue. Using elasticities, you will be able to determine whether this price change will lead to a rise or fall in total revenue in this market. Using the midpoint method, the price elasticity of demand…

need help with macroeconomic question 23. A Malthusian and a modern economist walk into a bar and converse as follows: MALTHUSIAN: I bet you $1,000 that I can make the average patron in this bar wealthier with a simple trick.MODERN ECONOMIST: I agree to your bet, and bet you $2,000 that I can do a better job.Thus, the Malthusian proceeds to murder half of the patrons, cleanly disposing of their bodies. The modern economist, on the other hand, replaces the bartender with a robot. How can we explain this ridiculous situation?(A) The Malthusian believes that killing people raises per-capita wealth, while the economist believes that technological improvements raise per-capita wealth.(B) The Malthusian believes that the agricultural commodities used in beer are scarce, and should be preserved; the modern economist believes that technological im- provements raise per-capita wealth.(C) There is no underlying logic to their actions.(D) The Malthusian and modern economists are both soyjacks…
Consider again the canonical OLG model with log preferences and a Cobb-Douglas production function, but assume that individuals now work in both periods of their lives. (a) Define a competitive equilibrium and the steady-state equilibrium. (b) Characterize the steady-state equilibrium and the transitional dynamics in this economy. (c) Can this economy generate overaccumulation?
Suppose that M = 2000 and that k = 2. What is the price level P at which the economy is in long-run- equilibrium? Plot such an equilibrium on a diagram with P on the vertical axis and Y on the horizontal axis, by distinguishing between the short-run and the long-run equilibrium.
