Concept Introduction:

Gross Domestic Product: It is defined as the money value of all finished goods and services that are produced by the normal resident and nonresident of the country inside the boundary of a country usually for one year.

The formula to calculate change in GDP is,

    EBK MACROECONOMICS, Chapter 11, Problem 4P , additional homework tip  1

Here,

  • EBK MACROECONOMICS, Chapter 11, Problem 4P , additional homework tip  2is autonomous spending.
  • MPC is marginal propensity to consume.

Marginal Propensity to Consume ( MPC ): It is defined as the change which occurs in total consumption level due to change in income.

The formula to calculate MPC is,

    EBK MACROECONOMICS, Chapter 11, Problem 4P , additional homework tip  3

Here,

  • EBK MACROECONOMICS, Chapter 11, Problem 4P , additional homework tip  4is change in income.
  • EBK MACROECONOMICS, Chapter 11, Problem 4P , additional homework tip  5is change in consumption level.
  • MPC is marginal propensity to consume.

Marginal Propensity to Save ( MPS ):. It is defined as the variation in the saving when the income of an individual varies.

The formula to calculate MPS is:

    EBK MACROECONOMICS, Chapter 11, Problem 4P , additional homework tip  6

Here,

  • MPC is marginal propensity to consume.
  • MPS is marginal propensity to save.

Consumption Level ( C ): It is one of the largest components of GDP .The individual consumption Depends on the disposable income.

Consumption Function: It shows how the change in disposable income of an individual changes the consumption level.

The formula to calculate consumption function is,

    EBK MACROECONOMICS, Chapter 11, Problem 4P , additional homework tip  7

Here,

  • C is consumption level.
  • EBK MACROECONOMICS, Chapter 11, Problem 4P , additional homework tip  8is autonomous consumption.
  • EBK MACROECONOMICS, Chapter 11, Problem 4P , additional homework tip  9is disposable income.
  • MPC is marginal propensity to consume.

Consider the simple discrete job search model that we studied in class. Only the unemployed can receive one offer per period from F(w) that is a uniform distribution on [0,2]. There is a constant probability of being laid off at the end of each period while employed. Assume that she can get a new offer right away when laid off. We want to understand the reservation wage, WR, in this model. Assume that u(c) = c. The parameters are a discount factor ẞ and an unemployment benefit b.R and show that T is contraction on [0, ∞). Explicitly state any additional assumptions that you may need.(Grading guide line: 5pt for the exact form of T, 10pt for showing contraction, and 5pt for stating correct assumptions.)< (b) Discuss why (a) is useful to understand the reservation wage wд in this economy.< (c) We write WR = WR (b,ẞ,λ) to reveal its dependence on (b,ẞ,λ). Show that 0 ≤ aWR дь OWR дл ≤1 and ≥0. What about ? awR ав State any additional assumptions that you may need.< (d) Briefly explain the…
3. Consider the market for paper. The process of producing paper creates pollution. Assume that the marginal damage function for pollution is given by: MDF = 3E where damages are measured in dollars and E is the level of emissions. Assume further that the function describing the marginal abatement cost of emissions is given by MAC 120-E where benefits are measured in dollars and E is the level of emissions. a. Graph the marginal damage function (MDF) and the marginal abatement cost function (MAC). b. What is the unregulated level of emissions Eu? What is the social welfare of this emissions level? c. Assume an existing emission quota limits emissions to E = 60. Show on the graph why this policy is inefficient. What is the deadweight loss caused by this policy?
