Question
Chapter 18, Problem 1DQ
To determine
The differences between the short run and the long run in macroeconomics .
Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution
Differences between the short run and the long run in macroeconomics:
- 1. In the short run, input prices do not respond to the change in the price level. That is, input prices are inflexible. In the long run, however, input prices are flexible.
- 2. In the long run, the economy will adjust itself. That is, there is no need of government intervention. But in the short run, fiscal and
monetary policies are required to stabilize the economy.
The distinction between the short run and the long run is important to have better analysis of short run and long run aspects.
Economics Concept Introduction
Concept introduction:
Short run: Short run refers to the time period which does not allow the change in capital to adjust with the market situation.
Long run: Long run refers to the time period which allows the change in capital to adjust with the market situation.

3. A country has the following production function: Y = K0.2L0.6p0.2 where Y is total
output, K is capital stock, L is population size and P is land size. The depreciation rate (8)
is 0.05. The population growth rate (n) is 0. We define: y = ½, k = 1 and p = . Land size
is fixed.
L
a) Find out the steady state values of k and y in terms of p, the per capita land size.

The data set is the same one used in Example 2.3, except we now relate salary to sales. Let sales be annual firm sales, measured in millions of dollars. A constant elasticity model is[2.45]ßßlog (salary) = ß0 + ß0log (sales) + u,where ß1 is the elasticity of salary with respect to sales. This model falls under the simple regression model by defining the dependent variable to be y = log(salary) and the independent variable to be x = log1sales2. Estimating this equation by OLS gives[2.46]log (salary)^=4.822 + 0.257 (sales) n = 209, R2 = 0.211.The coefficient of log(sales) is the estimated elasticity of salary with respect to sales. It implies that a 1% increase in firm sales increases CEO salary by about 0.257%—the usual interpretation of an elasticity.arrow_forwardSolvearrow_forward
