1.  Briefly explain what the term "agglomeration economies" refers to and briefly describe what the fundamental reason for the development of this particular type of economy relates to. Provide two examples of factors associated with agglomeration economies and identify what these factors help to explain. Identify two factors that would lead to diseconomies and briefly explain how the future of many of the world's cities will be likely be determined.   2.  Describe the concept of diminishing returns in production.  Explain why diminishing returns occurs.

Linear scale: an upward-sloping Ratio scale: an upward-sloping curve with increasing slope (called straight line convex shape) O b. Ratio scale: a straight horizontal line Linear scale: an upward-sloping straight line Ratio scale: an upward-sloping curve with decreasing slope (called O C. Linear scale: an upward-sloping straight line concave shape) O d. Linear scale: an upward-sloping Ratio scale: an upward-sloping convex curve convex curve

5. Total factor productivity Aa Aa Suppose that output growth in Arcadia is 1% per year, the growth rate of capital is 2%, and the growth rate of labor is 1.5%. Assuming that x = 0.3, the growth rate of total factor productivity in Arcadia is Which of the following facts about the total factor productivity in the United States are true? Check all that apply. Changes in the growth rates of capital and labor have relatively little impact on output growth. Changes in productivity may be the major factor affecting output growth. Changes in the growth rates of capital and labor are the major factors affecting output growth. Changes in productivity have relatively little impact on output growth.

12 L'. ĀK2 L2 where the productivity parameter is equal to 2 . How many units of output can be produced with 25 units of Consider an economy characterized by the production function Y = capital and 36 workers? 20 Using the same production function and factor inputs (capital and labor) as in the previous question, compute the marginal product of labor. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth after the decimal point. 30

O b. is irrelevant because the economy is capable of producing a larger total output. Oc. is unobtainable in this economy. O d. would involve an inefficient use of the economy's scarce resources.
