To determine
Examples for the use of aggregates in daily discussions.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
The aggregate terms are included in everyday discussions. For example, ‘the country is turning conservative’, football players are faster these days, and the students at this college think the classes should be smaller, and so on. When a person makes a statement that one usually has in mind on an average or a typical member of the larger group, one would not mean that every member of the group fits the statement.

- Hey! Need help with the following Macroeconomics question, it is divided into three smaller sub-questions. Chart it attatched below. Thank you in advance! Assume that the country Lusitania has two industries, clothing production and computer chip production. At first, both industries have identical aggregate production functions. The following table shows how the output of each industry is affected by a change in efficiency units of labor. Using the data in the table, draw a graph showing how output (on the y-axis) changes with efficiency units of labor (on the x-axis). What explains the shape of the graph? Why is it valid in this case to plot output against the efficiency units of labor and leave the stock of physical capital in the background? A Lusitanian inventor has produced a new technology that doubles the output of computer chips for any combination of capital and labor. Explain, using an equation, how this invention affects the production of computer chips.

- According to an article on Barrons.com, "Investment firms are starting to use Al (artificial intelligence] to execute trades [of stocks, bonds, and other financial securities], manage portfolios, and provide personalized service to their clients." The article notes that other financial firms, including banks, insurance companies, are using Al to decrease costs and increase the accuracy of compliance with government regulations, and to "free employees to work on more valuable jobs." Source: Scott Likens, "How Artificial Intelligence is Already Disrupting Financial Services" Barrons.com, May 16, 2019. Does the use of Al increase or decrease labor productivity? Increase, because the use of Al represents technological advance. Decrease, because the use of Al increases the stock of capital Increase, because the use of Al raises investment returns. O Decrease, because the use of Al reduces the number of work hours in the economy.arrow_forwardC. Suppose your neighbor is a physics major who also races motorcycles, and she tells you that horsepower can be expressed in terms of the following equation: H = MDA/S where M=mass, D-distance, A=acceleration and S and H are as defined above. Based on this conversation with your neighbor, you decide to change the functional form of the relationship to include 1/H rather than H as an explanatory variable because that's the appropriate theoretical relationship between the two variables. Estimate the above equation, substituting 1/H for H. Which of the two models do you prefer and why?arrow_forwardCan I get a macroeconomics article summarize and analysis here?arrow_forward
- In the Disney movie Frozen, the Kingdom of Arendelle changes overnight from a warm, flower filled place to being completely frozen (the story takes place in July). Just after this change in weather, there is a scene where two characters visit a trading post. At the trading post one character (Kristoff) is looking to buy winter transportation equipment and eventually sell some ice. The other character (Anna) is looking to buy some winter clothes. A link to the scene can be found in the module. For this assignment, please show how this change in weather would likely effect the markets for winter transportation equipment, winter clothes, and ice (assume the ice would be used by people who want to cool drinks). Specifically, draw a new supply or demand curve for the products and identify new equilibrium quantity or supply if you think the change in weather would have an impact on any of those measurements. In the clip Kristoff calls Oaken a crook for charging higher prices than he…arrow_forwardWhat are the two basic principles of aggregates in microeconomics ?arrow_forwardWhile traveling by car during one of his many overseas travels, a famous economist spotted scores of road builders moving earth with shovels instead of modern machinery. When he asked why powerful equipment wasn’t used instead of so many laborers, his host told him it was to keep employment high in the construction industry. If they used tractors or modern road building equipment, fewer people would have jobs was his host’s logic. “Then instead of shovels, why don’t you give them spoons and create even more jobs?” the Nobel Laureate inquired. Who used this story to illustrate the power of human capital enhanced by productivity?arrow_forward
