1. Suppose that an equation for infant mortality is described by the function: i-Yo (1) where i is the infant mortality rate (expressed in per 1,000 children), Y is the gross domestic product (in US dollars), P is the population, and B and b are constants. d. Assume that b = 492.7 and 3 = 0.2. Derive a specific linear equation on the relationship of i and y from the linear equation in (a). Interpret the slope coefficient.

If GDP per capita GDP increases from $3, 650 to $4, 100, estimate the percent change in infant mortality rate by using the computed values in (e). g. If GDP per capita increases from $3, 650 to $4, 100, estimate the percent change in infant mortality by using the elasticity in the equation in (d). Compare this result to that in (f).

Application. The outbreak of the bubonic plague- the Black Death- in 1348 reduced the population of Europe by about one-third within a few years, which resulted in a massive reduction in the labor force during the plague years. Suppose the outbreak of the bubonic plague- the Black Death- in 1348 did not cause the TEP. parameter to fall (this is a reasonable assumption for simplicity as the effect of the fall in TFP was much less significant than the effect of the massive reduction in the labor force during the Black Death, so the effect of the fall in TFP was negligible compared with the massive reduction in the labor force during the Black Death). Using the complete intertemporal model developed in class, brieáy explain the eşects of the outbreak on the equilibrium values of real wage, output, real interest rate, consumption, investment, and the price level.

2. The market demand function for strawberries is given by the equation: Q=276 2.5Pstr +0.6 I - 0.7 Pcr, str Where is the demand for strawberries in kilograms, Pstr is the price of strawberries per kilogram (in USD), str I is the household monthly income (in USD), and P is the price of cream per kilogram (in USD). Assume that Pstr is equal to $8, I is equal to $150, and Per is equal to $5. a. Determine the price elasticity of demand for strawberries. b. Determine the income elasticity of demand for strawberries. Is strawberry a normal/inferior good? Why? d. c. Determine the cross-price elasticity of demand for strawberries with respect to the price of cream. Based on your answer from (c), can we say cream and strawberries are substitute goods/ or complement goods? Why? Assume that the prices of strawberries and cream remain constant, but income increased three fold. What is going to happen on the demand for strawberries? Please use a diagram to provide your explanation. e.

Assume that the average or mean monthly household consumption expenditure for Malaysia rose from RM3,578 in 2018 to RM4,033 in 2020, growing 6% per annum at nominal value, according to the statistics department. However, in terms of real value — which refers to the constant price using the Consumer Price Index with the base year 2014 as the deflator — annual growth rate is 3.9% for the same period, mentioned on its Household Expenditure Survey Report 2020. b) i. Use the aggregate expenditures model to show how government fiscal policy could eliminate either a recessionary expenditure gap or an inflationary expenditure gap. ii. Explain how equal-size increases in G and T could eliminate a recessionary gap and how equal-size decreases in G and T could eliminate an inflationary gap.

3) You want to study the effects of disposable income, anti-smoking advertising and cigarette prices on the per capita consumption of cigarettes in US. You collect data on these variables across the 51 states over 20 years. You thus have 51x20=1,020 data points. For each state and year, you measure: Y=per capita consumption of cigarette (the fraction of the state population that smoked in that year); Xı=per capital income in the state (in US$); Xx=total expenditure in anti-smoking advertising in that state (in USS); and X3=average cigarette price in the state (in US$). You can then run a model: Y= Bo+Bi*X++ B2*X+ B3*X3+e Explain how you would test that the model is useful in predicting Y: How you would test the alternative hypothesis that you have at least one of the coefficients B1, ß2 or ß3 is different from zero. (That is, the null is that all three coefficients are zero.) Use a significance level a=0.05. (Again, there is no need to “run" the data. Just explain what you would do.…
