Question
The economy of a small country consists of two sectors: Energy and Transportation. For each $1 worth of output, the Energy sector requires $0.60 worth of input from the Energy sector and $0.20 worth of input from the Transportation sector. For each $1 worth of output, the Transportation sector requires $0.80 worth of input from the Energy sector and $0.10 worth of input from the Transportation sector. What level of output should each sector produce in order to meet a consumer demand of $1 million worth of Energy and $2 million worth of Transportation?

- Consider the economy of the planet Navarro. In Navarro, domestic investment of 400 million imperial credits earned 15 million in capital gains during the year. In addition, Navarro purchased $160 million in new foreign assets and foreigners purchased $10 million in Navarro assets. Assume that the valuation effects total $5 million in capital gains. a. Compute the change in domestic wealth in Navarro. b. Compute the change in external wealth for Navarro. c. Compute the total change in wealth for Navarro. d. Compute domestic savings for Navarro. e. Compute Navarro’s current account. Is the CA in deficit or surplus? f. Explain the intuition for the CA deficit/surplus in terms of savings in Navarro, financial flows, and its domestic/external wealth position. g. How would an appreciation in Navarro’s currency (the imperial credits) affect its domestic, external, and total wealth? Assume that foreign assets owned by Navarroans are denominated in foreign currency.arrow_forwardSuppose an economy has four sectors: Mining, Lumber, Energy, and Transportation. Mining sells 10% of its output to Lumber, 60% to Energy, and retains the rest. Lumber sells 10% of its output to Mining, 50% to Energy, 15% to Transportation, and retains the rest. Energy sells 30% of its output to Mining, 20% to Lumber, 30% to Transportation, and retains the rest. Transportation sells 25% of its output to Mining, 20% to Lumber, 40% to Energy, and retains the rest. a. Construct the exchange table for this economy. b. Find a set of equilibrium prices for this economy. a. Complete the exchange table below. Distribution of Output from: Mining Lumber Energy Transportation Purchased by: Mining Lumber If PT = $100, then PM = $. PL = $, and PE = $. (Round to the nearest dollar as needed.) Energy Transportation (Type integers or decimals.) b. Denote the prices (that is, dollar values) of the total annual outputs of the Mining, Lumber, Energy, and Transportation sectors by PM, PL, PE, and PT,…arrow_forwardAn economy consumes 1 million chickens each year. A new technology in raising chickens lowers the price of each chicken from $50 to $40. Suppose the economy still consumes 1 million chickens each year at the lower price. Do you agree that since the consumers pay $10 million less, the national saving due to the change in price equals $10 million?arrow_forward

Suppose Economy A jumps to the path of Economy B at Year 0 by increasing the share of GDP that is saved. In that case, which of the following statements about Economy A is true? O a. By jumping to a new growth path at Year 0, Economy A has increased the share of national income that is consumed. O b. By Year Y, the increase in consumption made possible by the economy's higher growth rate approximately equals the consumption sacrificed in earlier years. Oc By Year X, Economy A is saving and investing the same share of its national income as it would have been had it stayed on its original path Od.

The island's currency is the Shell (Sh), and its economy is based on two primary goods: coconuts and fish. The production technology for both goods has not changed over years, and there is no expectation of technological progress in the near future. The residents consume both goods, but due to recent overfishing and a blight affecting coconut palms, there is a concern about future scarcity of both resources. An economist studying the island proposes a policy of conservation, suggesting limits on fishing and coconut harvesting. Assess the likely short-term and long-term economic impacts of this policy on the island's price levels, consumer behavior, and general well-being of the inhabitants, considering the current lack of growth factors and external influences. a) In the short term, what would be the likely impact of conservation policies on…arrow_forward
