1. It is said that Medieval Europe was a filthy place, while Medieval Japan was much cleaner. This would result in a much higher death rate in Europe. (b) Assume that the soap was introduced in "Malthusian" Europe so that the death rate decreases permanently. What happens to European income per capita in the short-run and the long-run? What happens to population? Describe the evolution on the graphs. (c) Suppose now that when the soap is introduced in "Malthusian" Eu- rope, people start using it for a few years because it's in fashion, but stop after a while.

Economics of Copyright (a) What is the main economic argument against the 1998 Copyright Term Extension Act (which extended copyright terms for 20 years) being applied retroactively to existing works? Include a diagram to answer this question. (b) Using a simple numerical example, illustrate how the CTEA provides very little additional incentive for artists to create new works. For the example, consider an author who writes a novel that generates revenues of $100,000 per year while on copyright, and who lives for 30 years after publishing the novel. Recall that the formula for calculating the net present value (NPV) of a stream of annual payments equal to CP that lasts for n years is: NPV= CP * [ 1 (1/1+r)^n ] / r where r is the discount rate which you can assume is 0.05 (or 5%). Also recall that the CTEA extended copyright from life of the author plus 50 years to life of the author plus 70 years. Helpful calculations: (1/1.05)^80 = 0.02 (1/1.05)^20 = 0.38 1.05^80 49.56 ●
