1. Supply and demand in the neoclassical economy Consider an economy in which the consumption, investment and production functions are as follows. C = 90 + 0.7(Y − T) I = 250 − 20r F(K, L) = AK0.5L0.5 The capital and labor supply are equal to 100 each, A=10, G = 200 and T = 200. Compute the equilibrium values of output, overall labor income, consumption, public savings, national savings, investment, and the interest rate. Suppose now government spending increases to G=300 (everything else stays the same). What happens to output, consumption, savings, investment and the interest rate? Compute the new values for these variables.
Suppose the market supply curve is given by: Q=2P-4 and market demand by: 2-2 1-1. a) What is the value of Q when the market is equilibrium? Enter a number. b) P as a function of Q, i.e. find the inverse demand function. Your answer should be an algebraic expression in terms of Q without any decimals. Use a capital Q for Q and do not write "P="; just enter an expression in terms of Q. P= The variables found in your answer should be: [Q] c) Find the value of the consumer surplus when the market is equilibrium. Enter an algebraic expression, such as 3*In(4)-In(2)-8, rather than a decimal.
For the production function Q = K0.5L0.1 and the budget 137 = 5K + 2L find the NEW LEVEL in the optimal employment of labor (L) after wages change by a factor of 1.5 while maintaining the same level of output. Please enter your response as a positive number with 1 decimal and 5/4 rounding (e.g. 1.15 = 1.2, 1.14 = 1.1).

let e (po) be the price elasticity of demand for a good x of consumer i (i= 2,...,n) at price po, given its demand function. consumers do not consume identical amounts of x at po. then the price elasticity of demand at price po for the aggregate demand function for x is
You are the manager of a firm and you are required to optimize the Cobb-Douglas function given the following parameters. The maximum amount of money available to spend is $340 where the price of K=8 and the price of L=4. That is Pk=8 and Pl=4. The function is given as q=K0.4L0.6 . What is the constraint equation?
Assume that an economy's production function is Y=1,000L1/2,so that when the marginal product of capital is equated to the real wage the labor demand curve is L = 250,000(P/W)2. The labor supply curve is L = 31,250(W/P). The real wage that solves these equations is W/P = 2. Assume that the expected price level is 10, so that a nominal wage contract setting the wage at 20 is agreed to, making the expected real wage 2. If the price level turns out to be 10, 62,500 workers will be hired and output will be 250,000. If the actual price level turns out to be 20, what will the actual real wage be?b. According to the labor demand curve, how much labor will be demanded if the actual real wage is at the level given in part a?c. According to the production function, if the amount of labor given in part b is actually hired, how much will production be?
(6, Katrina Decreases Labor Supply Consider the effects of a natural disaster like hurricane Katrina on a metropoli- tan economy. In the initial (prehurricane) equilibrium, total employment in the metropolitan area is 500,000 workers and the daily wage is $100. The price elasticity of supply of labor is 4.0 and the price elasticity of demand for labor is -1.0. Suppose the hurricane reduces labor supply (a horizontal shift of the supply curve) by 100,000 workers. a. Use a supply-demand graph of the urban labor market to show the effects of the hurricane. b. The equilibrium wage [increases, decreases] by percent (to $. computed as.... c. The equilibrium employment [increases, decreases] by workers), computed as.... (to d. The reduction in the equilibrium employment is [greater, less] than the ini tial decrease in labor supply because. ... percent
