You have data for real output y, price level P, and the nominal wage W at two distant dates (time t = 0 and time t = 10) for three different economies: United Kingdom Date Price level t = 0 t = 10 Output y = 200 y = 190 P = 10 P = 10 Wage W = 50 W = 40 France Output y = 250 y = 250 Price level P = 15 P = 15 Wage W = 45 W = 45 Date t = 0 t = 10 Germany Date Output y = 220 y = 240 Price level t = 0 t = 10 P = 12 P = 12 Wage W = 40 W = 35 All these observations reflect potential equilibrium levels: each of the three economies was in a first potential equilibrium at time t= 0 and and is in a new potential equilibrium at time t = 10. You do not have any short-run data. wwww (3.B) Between time t= 0 and time t = 10, one of the three economies experienced a shock on productivity and a monetary intervention (a change in money supply). Can you identify this economy? Motivate your answer and try to speculate on a plausible reason for the monetary intervention.

Consider Special City that manufactures light fixtures that are sold around the world. Draw their base case Labor Market graph. Now assume there is a national shortage of glass that Special City manufacturers use to create their light fixtures. Show what would be the effect on your Labor Market graph. Lastly, assume the manufacturers change their manufacturing process to use less glass but inadvertently create a very noticeable increase in the smog levels that makes it hard to breathe. Show another variation to reflect the change in your labor market graph, be sure to indicate the effects of the changes on for each of these market changes or combine the graphs, just be sure the changes and new equilibria are legible:
Suppose that there is a recession similar to the one in 2008. What would happen to the equilibrium wage if the unemployment rate increased to 10%? Show this first on the labor discipline graph (nominal wage), then on the wage-setting curve graph (real wage).

These are constructed in the same way as the national CPI, just at a smaller scale: in a given city, researchers gather prices for a bundle of goods every month and then construct an index to track price changes of that bundle within the city.

3. Suppose the following equation characterize supply and demand in the labor market model: labor supply: L = 1 + w labor demand: L = 11 – w Equilibrium occurs at an employment level L* and a wage w* so that the labor market clears. What is the equilibrium value of wage and labor in this model? a) w* = 1/5, L* = 4/5 b) w* = 6, L* = 5 c) w* = 5, L* = 6 d) w* = 6, L* = 6 e) Not enough information is given.
Suppose labor demand increases in one region relative to another equalized region, discuss how the mobility of labor (migration) affects the predicted response of the nominal and real wage rates in both regions to the relative shift in labor demand (a graph is not needed here). Be sure to discuss the spatial equilibrium result.
The New York Times newspaper cost $0.15 in 1970 and $0.75 in 2000. The average wage in manufacturing was $3.23 per hour in 1970 and $14.32 in 2000. Given what you know about the increases in the price of the newspaper and wages, what does this tell you about workers’ well-being (as measured by standard of living or purchasing power)?
Suppose the world price of cotton falls substantially. The demand for labor among cotton-producing firms in Texas will . The demand for labor among textile-producing firms in South Carolina, for which cotton is an input, will . The temporary unemployment resulting from such sectoral shifts in the economy is best described as unemployment.
FILL IN THE BLANKS The government utilizes fiscal policies to stimulate aggregate demand and reduce this type of unemployment. When the government subsidizes programs to train workers in new skills because of changes in technology, it is trying to reduce the amount of unemployment. If the government reduces the number of weeks an unemployed worker can collect unemployment insurance payments, then it is likely that unemployment numbers would decrease. There is a relationship between a nation’s unemployment rate and its production which is represented by Okun’s Law. The law predicts that that for every 1% increase in unemployment there will be a decrease in gross domestic product (GDP).
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.

In the country of Economica, the total labor force consists of 5,000 workers. 250 of these workers are unemployed, and thus the current unemployment rate is 5.0%. This year, 100 workers will lose their jobs, 85 workers will return to the labor force after an absence, 50 workers will voluntarily leave their jobs, and 250 new workers will enter the labor force. At the same time, 363 workers will find jobs, and 150 workers will retire or leave the labor force for other reasons. Thus, at the end of the year, the labor force will consist of workers, and the unemployment rate will be%. (Round your responses to one decimal place.)
Consider a simple demand-and-supply model of a competitive labour market in a small town. The demand and supply curves for labour are given by Demand: w= 22 - 3LD Supply: w=4+3LS where w is the wage ($ per hour) and L is the number of hours of employment (measured in thousands of hours per month). a. Use the line drawing tool to plot the demand and supply curves in the graph at the right. Use points with labour hours value of 0 and 5 to draw the lines. Label the lines properly. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects. C Wage ($ per hour) 24- 22- 20- 18- 16- 14- 12- 10- 8- 6- 4- 2- 0- 0 Labour Market 2 3 4 1 Labour (thousands of hours per month) + 5
The following figure is an index (base 1850) of average real wages of skilled workers in London between 1264 and 2001. Based on this information, which of the following statements is correct? Real wage index (1850-100) 8001 700 600- 500- 400- 300- 200- 100- 0 1260 1334 Malthusian trap Escape 1408 1482 1556 1630 1704 1778 1852 1926 2000 Smith Malthus Some of the rapid rise in wages depicted can be attributed to inflation. Malthus was incorrect in his assessment of the historical data. London was able to escape from the Malthusian trap by reducing its population growth rate. The shape of the graph would be the same even if a different year was used as the base year.
