- Suppose that the economy's production function is given by Y=K²N¹-a where Y is output, K is capital, and N is labor. Assume that a = 1/3. The production function transformed into output per worker is (Property format your expression using the tools in the palette. Hover over tools to see keyboard shortcuts. E.g., a superscript can be created with N character.)If the production function for GDP is Cobb-Douglas in labour and capital, with the exponent on capital is a space equals space 1 third, and assuming constant returns to scale, and a perfectly competitive goods market a. The marginal product of labour (vertical axis) will have a positive, concave slope when plotted against labour (horizontal axis) b. In equlibrium, wage will equal 2 over 3 y, where y is output per worker c. Labour and capital are complements so the derivative fraction numerator d squared Y over denominator d L d K end fraction less than 0 d. None of the answers is correct e.

Answer all of the question. Calculate APL and MPL. Graph APL and MPL. Do they have the expected shape? On your graph, identify the three stages of production.Consider the production function Y = K1/2 N12 a. Compute output when K = 49 and N = 81 %3D b. If both capital and labor double, what happens to output? c. Is this production function characterized by constant returns to scale? Explain. d. Write this production function as a relation between output per worker and capital per worker. e. Let K/N = 4. What is Y/N? Now double K/N to 8. Does Y/N double as a result? f. Does the relation between output per worker and capital per worker exhibit constant returns to scale? g. Is your answer to f. the same as your answer to c.? Why or why not?Question 19 Consider the following graph of a production function when capital is constant. (The following is a description of the figure: it shows a two-axis graph; the horizontal axis measures labor and the vertical axis measures output; for a K fixed, the graph shows that maximal production that the firm can achieve with different levels of labor; the graph starts at cero production for zero labor; then it is increasing in all of its range; three levels of labor are shown as reference; there are L1, L2, and L3; they are related as follows L1<L2<L3; the graph is convex from 0 to L1, that is, its slope is increasing; the graph is concave from L1 on, that is, its slope is decreasing; the line that is tangent to the curve at L2, passes through the origin of the graph.)

What is the percentage change in output if both capital and labor rise by 42%? Write the answer in percent terms with up to two decimals (e.g., 10.22 for 10.22%, or 2.33 for 2.33%).
- Assume that digital revolution popularizes the use of artificial intelligence (computers) in the workplace. The production function becomes: Y = 0.25 K(2/5)(ACN)(3/5) where C stands for the number of computers.: a) Use growth accounting to predict the increase in total output in response to an increase in the number of computers by 10 percent. b) The nominal interest rate on government bonds equals 9 percent and inflation equals percent. The rate of GDP growth is equal to the result obtained in (a). Use the debt dynamics equation and graph to explain whether or not the level of public debt in percent of GDP can be stabilized if the government runs a primary deficit. c) Use the neoclassical investment model (equation and graphs) to assess the impact of a decrease in the number of computers on investment (in traditional physical capital K).Some economists believe that the US. economy as a whole can be modeled with the following production function, called the Cobb-Douglas production function: Y = AK¹/32/3 where Y is the amount of output K is the amount of capital, L is the amount of labor, and A is a parameter that measures the state of technology. For this production function, the marginal product of labor is MPL = (2/3) A(K/L)¹/³. Suppose that the price of output P is 2, A is 3, K is 1,000,000, and L is 1/100. The labor market is competitive, so labor is paid the value of its marginal product. a. Calculate the amount of output produced Y and the dollar value of output PY. b.
