1. Decrease. Reduction in the mark up will cause a decrease in the price level.
2. Increase.
3. Upward
4. Price Setting Curve
5. Decrease
6. Increases
7. Increases because employment rate has increased.
Using the WS-PS model, graphically explain the effects of a reduction in the markup on the...
3. Use the Wage-Setting (WS) and Price-Setting (PS) relations to examine the effects of the following events on the natural rate of unemployment, real wage, level of employment, and output. a. reduction in employment insurance. b. less stringent competition law. c. increase in the minimum wage.
1. Based on price setting behavior, we know that a reduction in the unemployment rate will cause no change in the real wage. a reduction in the real wage. an upward shift of the PS curve. an increase in the real wage.
Question 1: (a) The Wage Setting Relation is given by: WS: W-1"F(u, z) Explain the effect of an increase in the unemployment rate, u, on nominal wage, W. Be sure to explain both intuitively using words and using the above equation. (b) The Price Setting Relation is given by: PS: P (1 m)W Explain the relationship between monopoly power and the markup, m. (c) Re-arrange PS and show that an increase in the markup leads to a decrease in the...
7. Explain what effect a reduction in productivity has on wage setting behavior, price setting behavior, the equilibrium real wage, the natural rate of unemployment, and the natural level of output. 8. When (exact time and date) is the final for this class? Where will it be held?
can someone explain please Question 5 0/2 pts Which of the following is most likely to cause an increase in the inflation rate? a reduction in the percentage of workers who are in labor unions an increase in competition between firms an increase in the non-labor costs of production an increase in the unemployment rate Rising unemployment tends to put downward pressure on wages and prices. In the figure below, when employment is at the level at point C, the...
Please help with C and D. Thank You. 1. (4 points) Suppose that the markup of goods over unit costs is 20% and that that the wage-setting equation is W = P(1 - u), where u is the unemployment rate. a. What is the real wage, as determined by the price-setting equation? b. What is the natural rate of unemployment? c. Suppose that the markup of prices over costs increases to 25%. What happens to the natural rate of unemployment?...
anc dns 9. Suppose the actual unemployment rate increases. This will cause C ) a. a downward shift in the WS curve. ( ) b. a downward shift in the PS curve. ( c. an upward shift in the WS curves ( ) d. a movement along the PS curve. 10. Suppose that increased international trade makes product markets more competitive in the U.S. Given this information, we would expect to observe which of the following? ( a. an upward...
PROBLEM NO 2. An Open Economy in the Short Run and The Medium Run (25 Points) a. Indonesia's equilibrium condition of goods and services market can be expressed by the following equation: Y = CAY - T) + (Y, r) +G-IMY, )) { + X(Y*, £) where: Y=domestic output; Y*= foreign output; C= consumption: T=tax; l=investment, r=real interest rate; G=government spending, € = Real Exchange Rate. If it is assumed that the Marshall-Lerner condition holds. Explain in words the effects...
using the classical model closed economy what are the effects on the variables below of a temporary increase in government spending. --- Output --- Real Interest ---Price level --- Wage rate ( real ) -- Wage rate ( nominal) Please draw the models to analyze and answer the scenario.
Use the classical (RBC) IS-LM-FE model to show the effects on the economy of a temporary decrease in government spending. You should show the impact on the real wage, employment output, the real interest rate, consumption, investment, and the price level Use the classical (RBC) IS-LM-FE model to show the effects on the economy of a temporary decrease in government spending. You should show the impact on the real wage, employment output, the real interest rate, consumption, investment, and the...
