In the model with uncertainty and capital, how is the equilibrium real wage determined?

a

It will adjust so that equilibrium profits equal zero.

b

It will equal the marginal product of labour.

c

It will adjust so that output equals consumption.

d

It will equal the marginal rate of substitution between consumption and leisure for the household.

Expert Solution

Answer - Option B

It will be equal to marginal product of labor

In the model with uncertainity , where the capital is present , the real wage rate equals the marginal product produced by the labor. This is the equilibrium level of the real wage rate. Equilibrium profits and output with consumtion are not compared here. Hence Option B will be correct.

Assume that the real wage in an economy is held above equilibrium. a. Graphically illustrate how an increase in technology that raises the demand for labor will cha number of unemployed workers. Be sure to label the axes and the quantities of labor hired and after the technological progress. b. Explain in words what happens to the number of unemployed as a result of this change.

1- Use the WS and PS relations to show the determination of the equilibrium real wage and the natural rate of unemployment in the labor market both algebraically and graphically. Also, examine the effects of the following events on the natural rate of unemployment and on the real wage. Be sure to explain the effects of the event and to illustrate your answer graphically. a. an increase in unemployment benefits b. weak antitrust legislation

1. In the aggregate planned expenditure model, the equilibrium level of GDP can be determined by finding the output level at which the unplanned change in inventories is less than aggregate expenditures equal to government expenditures greater than aggregate expenditures equal to consumer spending equal to zero 2. The shape of the long-run aggregate supply curve suggests that Potential GDP is negatively related to the average price level Potential GDP is the amount of output that can be produced if...

a) Using the Keynesian cross model where the goods market equilibrium is determined and analyzed, graphically derive the IS curve, and explain each step. Explain what the equilibrium in the goods market implies for the IS curve, i.e., why is the IS curve downward sloping. Also, explain what causes shifts in the IS curve. b) First, based on the analysis of the financial market equilibrium, graphically derive the LM curve. Explain what the LM curve is and explain in detail...

Classical economists used the demand and supply model to explain the real wage rate, employment and unemployment. Explain how the classical economist reached the conclusion that the labor market self corrects, and, therefore, involuntary unemployment must be a consequence of rigidities with respect to nominal price (changes in the price goods) shocks or real wage rigidities. Use graph(s) to facilitate your analysis.
