Question

The Industrial Revolution Past and Future Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis.pdf For this Module discussion assignment, read the article then answer the following questions: 1. When did England begin to experience sustained economic growth? 2. Which important data set does Lucas refer to? 3. GDP per capita has grown dramatically since 1960. How is this possible when population has more than doubled since then? 4. How do economists estimate the GDP per capita of societies in the distant past (e.g. Chinese farmers in the 1100's)? 5. Try to limit your answer to the next question to a short paragraph. Prior to the onset of sustained growth, a large fraction of total income went to a very small set of wealthy landowners. These landowners often contributed to the development of high culture through their patronage of art, architecture, crafts, and in some cases mathematics and philosophy. However, this accumulation of wealth held by landowners did not translate into noticeable gains in the labor productivity of most workers. Why is this? Since the Industrial Revolution, what factors have lead to increases in labor productivity? What are the consequences of higher labor productivity?

is-there-anyone-who-can-help-me-with-this-one-suppose-2-people-and-1-sewing-machine-will-produce-10-t-shirts-per-day-also-suppose-3-people-and-1-machine-will-produce-12-t-shirts-per-day-and-87277

Suppose 2 people and 1 sewing machine will produce 10 t-shirts per day. Also, suppose 3 people and 1 machine will produce 12 t-shirts per day, and 4 people and 1 machine will produce 13 t-shirts per day. Suppose 2 people and 2 machines can produce 18 t-shirts per day. 1) With constant returns to scale, what will 4 people and 2 machines produce per day? 2) What is average labor productivity and marginal labor productivity (in all cases that you have available data)? 3) How does average labor productivity depend on the level of capital? 4) Does this example exhibit diminishing marginal return to labor? How can you tell? 5) Suppose the initial situation is 2 people and 1 machine. Would this business grow more if labor is increased by one person or if capital is increased by one machine?

Question 1 In a certain country, the working-age population consists of 500,000 people. The labor force participation rate is 75% and the unemployment rate is 9%. From this information, find the following: a) How many people are unemployed? b) How many people are employed? c) How many working-age people are out of the labor force? d) What percentage of the working-age population is unemployed? Question 3 Suppose that this year's money supply is $1,200 billion. Nominal GDP is $6,000 billion and real GDP is $5,000 billion. This question concerns the Equation of Exchange in the Classical Quantity Theory of Money. a) What is the price level expressed as a percentage (i.e., as a price index)? b) What is the velocity of money? c) Suppose that velocity is constant and the economy's output of goods and services rises by 6 percent each year. If the Fed keeps the money supply constant, what will nominal GDP be next year? d) Under the conditions in c, what will happen to the price level next year? e) What money supply should the Fed set next year if it wants to keep the price level stable? f) What money supply should the Fed set next year if it wants the inflation rate to be 8 percent?

Productivity" is a term you hear quite often in news reports about the economy. Productivity isnt everything, but in the long run it is almost everything. A countrys ability to improve its standard of living over time depends almost entirely on its ability to raise its output per worker. Productivity measures how efficiently production inputs, such as labor and capital, are being used in an economy to produce a given level of output. Knowledgeable, skilled workers with the proper tools such as computers or manufacturing equipment result in high productivity. This Productivity Excel file shows the percent change in worker output per hour from the previous quarter for the United States from 1988 through 2008. Question 1. Make a histogram of the productivity data in the above file. Select the histogram below that is closest in shape to the histogram of the productivity data. Question 2. These data can be approximated quite well by a N(3.4, 3.1) model. Economists become alarmed when productivity decreases. According to the normal model what is the probability that the percent change in worker output per hour from the previous quarter is more than 0.5 standard deviations below the mean? Question 3. What is the probability that the percent change in worker output from the previous quarter is between -1.25 and 6.81? Use the normal model mentioned at the beginning of question 2.

00:01 Hello, here we have the answers to the given question.
00:03 Let's get started for the discussion.
00:06 In the first instance itself, we are having a scenario of 4 people, 2 machines.
00:14 In such a scenario, the production will be equal to 2 times 18 which is equal to 36 t -shirts.
00:30 Now moving to the second question, we deal with the labour productivity.
00:35 We do have 2 types of labour productivities here.
00:42 First is the average labour productivity or the average product of labour and this is equal to total product divided by the quantity and then you have mpl which is the marginal productivity of labour, this is equal to delta tp divided by delta q that is change in total product divided by change in quantity...
