Wells describes the full-blown creation of "car country" in the interwar years (1919 - 1941). Here's the question: On the whole, did the creation of "car country" make Americans better off than they were before? Why or why not?
please post a response to the following question. Your response should be around 200-300 words in length and should include specific, cited evidence from this assignment in Christopher Well, Car Country (Chapters 4-6).

all firms in a competitive industry have the following long-run total cost curve: C(q) = q3 -10q2 +36q, where q is the output of the firm
a. Find the price in the market and how many units each firm will sell in the long run
b. If the market demand was Q = 10p-5, how much output will be bought and sold in the market?
c. How many firms will exist in the long run?
d. What is their economic profit?
e. Suppose the market demand shifted right due to a shock (the supply/costs did not change). If the new market demand is Q=20p-25, how many firms would be in the market after the long run adjustment?

A village has ten tractors that are used by twenty farmers. Much of the land is uncultivated and farmers are idled by the lack of equipment. Because of the tractor sharing constraints, each farmer is only capable of working 100 hours per month to grow crops. This village produces two products, tomatoes, and corn. The following table displays the greatest possible combinations of these two products (in bushels).

Corn 1000 |
Tomatoes 0 |

1. Assuming an economy is operating in a recession, discuss the benefits and costs of fiscal policy, monetary policy, and a do-nothing approach assuming flexible exchange rates and mobile capital.
2. Again, assuming an economy is operating in a recession and the government wants to conduct an expansionary policy, but does not want to change interest rates or incur any more fiscal debt, discuss what policies are available to the government?

Assume that a consumer lives for T periods, and in each future
period, one of the s states may be realized. There are complete
markets. Let the utility function of the agent be
U = u(c1) +
T X t=2X s∈S
βt−1πt,su(ct,s)
where the notation is the same as that used in class, with pt,s,
denoting the price of Arrow-Debreu security paying off at state s on
date t.
a. What do complete markets mean in this context? b. Write down the
period and intertemporal budget constraints. Explain the
saving/borrowing mechanism in this framework. c. Write down the
Lagrangian equation and find the first order conditions. d. Write
down the price of the Arrow-Debreu security that pays of in date 4,
state 7. e. Assume that the agent has linear utility. How would it
effect the price of Arrow-Debreu security?
