Suppose innovations in farming lead to an increase in agricultural land rent from rÃO to rÃ₁. Answer the following questions using the predictions of the urban model. Assume that the supply-demand equilibrium holds, and that the city's population must fit within its boundary. (a) Illustrate the effects of the increase in agricultural land rent on the diagram below. Be sure to label the change(s) to the city boundary, x, clearly. (b) What happens to the building heights?

Optimizing economic agents use the real interest rate when thinking about the economic costs and returns of a loan. Recently, the rate paid by banks on savings accounts was 0.1 percent. However, at the same time, inflation was around 1.5 percent. What was the saver’s real rate of interest on his or her savings? Banks expect that the inflation rate in the long run will be 2 percent. They want a real return of 1 percent on their mortgage loans. What nominal rate should they charge home buyers looking for a mortgage? Explain using the Fisher equation.arrow_forward
