Determine which of the following statement about economic growth and labour productivity is true or false. Statement In attempt to reduce unermployment and to discourage layoffs, the government requires firms to continue paying the salary of any worker who loses their job until they find a new one. Therefore, firms will have little incentive to lay off False their workers and help to promote growth in labour productivity. The government should not channel research and development funds to private industry because it will not pay off to the economy as a whole and only benefits the owners of these corporations.

3. Productivity and growth policies Consider a hypothetical small island nation in which the only industry is publishing. The following table displays information about the economy over a two year period. Complete the table by calculating physical capital per worker as well as labor productivity. Hint: Recall that productivity is defined as the amount of goods and services a worker can produce per hour. In this problem, measure productivity as the quantity of goods per hour of labor. Year 2046 2047 Physical Capital (Printing presses) 160 180 Based on your calculations, productivity from 2046 to 2047. Labor Force Physical Capital per Worker (Workers) (Printing presses) 40 60 Labor Hours Suppose you're in charge of establishing economic policy for this small island country. Imposing a tax on printing presses (Hours) 1,800 3,900 Output (Books) 14,400 23,400 in physical capital per worker from 2046 to 2047 is associated with Which of the following policies would lead to greater…

Please no written by hand and graph Consider a small world that consists of two different countries, a developed and a developing country. In both countries, assume that the production function takes the following form: Y = F (K, LE) = K¹/4 (LE) 3/4, where Y is output, K is capital stock, L is total employment and E is labour augmenting technology. (a) Does this production function exhibit constant returns to scale in K and L? Explain. (b) Express the above production function in its intensive form (i.e., output per-effective worker y as a function of capital per effective worker k). (c) Solve for the steady-state value of y as a function of saving rate s, population growth rate n, technological progress g, and capital depreciation rate 6. (d) The developed country has a savings rate of 30% and a population growth rate of 2% per year. Meanwhile, the developing country has a savings rate of 15% and population growth rate of 5% a year. Technology evolves at the rate of 8% and 2% in…
