Q. 1 Consider an economy with the following Cobb-Douglas production func- tion: Y = 5K The economy has 27,000 units of capital and a labour force of 1,000 workers. a. Derive the equation describing labour demand in this economy as a function of the real wage and the capital stock. b. If the real wage can adjust to equilibrate labour supply and labour de- mand, what is the real wage? In this equilibrium, what are employment, output, and the total...

A “Cobb–Douglas” production function relates production (Q) to factors of production, capital (K), labor (L), and raw materials (M), and an error term u using the equation: ? = ???1??2M?3? ?, where ?, ?1, ?2, and ?3 are production parameters. a) Suppose that you have data on production and the factors of production from a random sample of firms with the same Cobb–Douglas production function. How would you propose to use OLS regression analysis to estimate the above production parameters,...
