Suppose Serbest Mermer gets utility from guns and roses: U(G,R)=rVG+µVR where G is gun and R is roses, y and µ are some constant parameters. The price of gun is T >0 ; and the price of rose is p>0. Set up expenditure minimizaton problem and obtain the optimal expenditure function Is the expenditure function increasing with respect to prices?

A country in Southeast Asia states it's gross domestic product in terms of yen. Last year it's GDP was 50 billion yen when one U.S. dollar could be exchanged into 120 yen. Required : Assume the GDP increases to 55 billion yen for this year. However, the dollar value of one yen is now $0.01. Determine the country's GDP in terms of U.S. dollars for this year.
(b) It is given that the nominal income rose by 5% from the base year to the subsequent year. Since the growth in nominal income is less than the rate of inflation, the family is worse off in terms of what they are able to buy.

Each term (3 months) the current group of economics students completed a questionnaire as to how much they would spend on new purchases compared to how much they would save/pay off bills, if they suddenly and unexpectedly received a check for $1,000. The average MPC is shown in the table below. Month in which student poll was taken Average of students’ responses as MPC March 0.41 June 0.30 September 0.22 December 0.56 What do these MPC’s imply about the students’ thinking over the course of the year?

Sav Blundell Biotech. Blundell Biotech is a U.S.-based biotechnology company with operations and earnings in a number of foreign countries. The company's profits by subsidiary, in local currency (in millions) along with the average exchange rate for each year, by currency pairs, are shown in the table for 2013 and 2014. Use these data to answer the following questions. a. What was Blundell Biotech's consolidated profits in U.S. dollars in 2013 and 2014? b. If the same exchange rates were used for both years-which is often called a "constant currency basis-what was the change in corporate earnings on a constant currency basis? c. Using the results of the constant currency analysis in part (b), is it possible to separate Blundell's growth in earnings between local currency earnings and foreign exchange rate impacts on a consolidated basis?

To study the determinants of growth across the countries in the world, researchers have used country level observations averaged over long periods of time (e.g. averaged over 1960- 2000). Some of these studies have focused on the effect that inflation has on growth and found that although the effect is small for a given time period, it accumulates over time and therefore has an important negative effect. (a) Explain why the OLS estimator may be biased in this case. (b) Some authors have suggested using an index of the Central Bank Independence as an instrumental variable. Discuss whether or not such an index would be a valid instrument (discuss both relevance and exogeneity; note that instrumental validity is more of an economic rather than econometric concept
