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 |
| 900 | 50 |

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?

Prior to the 1980 presidential election, Candidate Reagan emphasized a supply-side approach to dealing with the inflationary problem.

Pandemic is an outbreak of a disease prevalent over a country or the world. If left unchecked, the number of infected population C is growing at an exponential rate and can be modeled as a function of time T as C=2?, where T is measured in days. 1) What is the infected population after ten days if the pandemic is left unchecked? After 20 days? 2) If left uncheck, how many days will it take for the pandemic to infect the whole world 7 billion? 3) Refer to the websites and compare the model forecast with real world data. Does this model predict well the trend of infected population (confirmed cases) during the COVID-19 outbreak? 4) Based on this exponential growth model, what factors are missing in predicting the trends in different countries or regions? Do all countries follow the same trend? Explain. 5) According the official data, both total COVID-19 confirmed cases and total deaths double every seven days. What is the average daily growth rate and death rate of the pandemic in the world? 6) To slow down the pandemic, the most effective way in the short run is to quarantine and testing, which must be enforced by the public policy. What are the economic benefits and costs of these measures to individual and to other social members? How to measure these benefits and costs? 7) To eradicate the most lethal virus in human history, the most effective way in the long run is to vaccine. What are the economic benefits and costs of vaccination to individual and to other social members? Will you expect a worldwide COVID vaccination? Explain.
