Explanation of Solution

The given statement is wrong. Money has a role in economics, but it does not mean that money is everything in economics or economics is everything to do with money. Economics deals with human’s wants and limited resources. Thus, money is also considered as a resource to practice economic actions. Along with money, there is other resources that also play an important role in economics, like time, labor force, skill, and so on. Thus, like money, all other non-money resources are also important.

Economics Concept Introduction

M” method  Given the following model, solve by the method of “M”. (see image)
As indicated in the attached image, U.S. earnings for high- and low-skill workers as measured by educational attainment began diverging in the 1980s. The remaining questions in this problem set use the model for the labor market developed in class to walk through potential explanations for this trend.  1. Assume that there are just two types of workers, low- and high-skill. As a result, there are two labor markets: supply and demand for low-skill workers and supply and demand for high-skill workers. Using two carefully drawn labor-market figures, show that an increase in the demand for high skill workers can explain an increase in the relative wage of high-skill workers.  2. Using the same assumptions as in the previous question, use two carefully drawn labor-market figures to show that an increase in the supply of low-skill workers can explain an increase in the relative wage of high-skill workers.
