- In 2007, the first generation of the iPhone sold for $499. The average cost of an iPhone today is $999. At a press conference just outside a telephone museum in Cle Elum, WA, the CEO of Apple, Tim Cook, stated that the rise in cost is purely due to inflation. Use the Consumer Price Index to either verify or falsify Cooks’s statement. Is he correct or wrong? Work must be shown to support your answer or no credit. Use the CPI values from January of each year.arrow_forwardSome Firms Struggle to Hire Despite High Unemployment Matching people with available jobs is always diffi- cult after a recession as the economy remakes itself. But Labor Department data suggest the disconnect is particularly acute this time. Since the recovery began in mid-2009, the number of job openings has risen more than twice as fast as actual hires. If the job mar- ket were working normally, openings would be get- ting filled as they appear. Some five million more would be employed and the unemployment rate would be 6.8%, instead of 9.5%.

- Reducing the natural rate of unemployment requires reducing the rate of job separation and increasing the rate of job finding. Explain at least one policy that will impact each of these aspects of the natural rate of unemployment.arrow_forwardPlease for your assistance with understanding the logic behind this question. Suppose the Parliament passes legislation making it more difficult for firms to fire workers (an example is a law requiring severance pay to fired workers). If this legislation reduces the rate of job separation without affecting the rate of job finding, how would the natural rate of unemployment change? Do you think that it is plausible that legislation would not affect the rate of job finding?arrow_forwardThe labour market in an economy is characterised by the following equations: W = 0.7-0.9u ре Wage setting: W = 0.5 P Price setting: In which W is nominal wages, pe and P are expected nominal prices and nominal prices, respectively, u is level of unemployment. Consider a linear production function for firms such that Q = N, i.e., production for firms (Q) depends only on the number of employees (N). Considering this information, which of the following statements are CORRECT: U The price mark-up (u) for this economy is 1 (i.e. µ = 1). O If actual output is below potential output, actual unemployment rate is below 0.22, (i.e. uț < 0.22). The equilibrium unemployment in this economy is 0.22 (i.e. ue = 0.22). U If wage setters become less responsive to changes in unemployment (e.g., from -0.9 to -0.7), the equilibrium unemployment decreases.arrow_forward
