Hey! Need help with the following Macroeconomics question, it contains four small sub-questions. Thank you in advance! In this question, use what you learned in the second part of the chapter to compare the performance of an economy in two different time periods, as a result of changes in its physical capital stock and efficiency units of labor. Suppose that from period 1 to period 2, the unemployment rate in the economy increases. Everything else remains unchanged. What happens to the total efficiency units of labor? Express your results formally as an inequality, using the formula for total efficiency units of labor presented in the chapter (in particular, recall that total efficiency units of labor in two periods can be written as and , where L is the total number of employed workers). What are the consequences for GDP of this increase in unemployment? Express your results formally as an inequality, using the aggregate production function presented in the chapter. What are the…
While economists measure unemployment at the macroeconomic level, microeconomic forces are often responsible for this macro aggregate. In other words, the tie between microeconomics and macroeconomics is inevitable when discussing the level of unemployment in an economy. Suppose the following graph represents the market for unskilled labor in a fictional economy. These workers typically represent the young, inexperienced, or uneducated part of the labor force and are therefore most effected by changes in the unemployment rate. Use the graph input tool to help you answer the following questions. You will not be graded on any changes you make to this graph
Economists use labor-market data to evaluate how well an economy is using its most valuable resource— its people. Two closely watched statistics are the unemployment rate and the employment–population ratio (calculated as the percentage of the adult population that is employed). Explain what happens to each of these in the following scenarios. In your opinion, which statistic is the more meaningful gauge of how well the economy is doing? Situations unemployment rate employment–population ratio More meaningful one a. An auto company goes bankrupt and lays off its workers, who immediately start looking for new jobs b. After an unsuccessful search, some of the laid-off workers quit looking for new jobs. c. Numerous students graduate from college but cannot find work. d. Numerous students graduate from college and immediately begin new jobs. e. A stock market boom induces newly enriched 60-year-old workers to take early retirement.…
