Suppose you are interested in the hypothesis that internet access is a significant contributor to economic development and you want to quantify the magnitude of such contribution. To do this correctly, you could: O look at the correlation between PPP GDP p.c. and internet access across countries compare income in villages that have higher internet access with villages that have lower internet access O implement a policy in which you randomly subsidize internet access for some villages but not others either of the previous options is enough

Suppose an economyuses two resorces (labor and capital) to produce two goods (wheat and cloth). Captial is relativley more useful in prducing cloth, and labor ir relativley more useful in prducing wheat. If the supply of cpatial falls by 10% and the suppy of labor increases by 10%, how will the PPF for wheat and cloth change?
You just got a job in Washington, D.C. You moveinto an apartment with some acquaintances. All yourroommates, however, are slackers and do not clean upafter themselves. You, on the other hand, can clean fasterthan each of them. You determine that you are 70%faster at dishes and 10% faster with vacuuming. All ofthese tasks have to be done daily. Which jobs shouldyou assign to your roommates to get the most free timeoverall? Assume you have the same number of hours todevote to cleaning. Now, since you are faster, you seemto get done quicker than your roommate. What sortsof problems may this create? Can you imagine a traderelated analogy to this problem?
SMARTPHONES (Millions) 40 20 0 PPF 0 40 60 CORN (Millions of bushels) Which of the following is true regarding this economic model? O In order to construct such a model, an economist would need real life data regarding countries that produce only two goods. O The fact that there are only two goods produced in this theoretical economy, when, in reality, economies produce many more types of goods, means this model is generally useless. O This PPF is not an economic model. O The fact that there are only two goods produced in this theoretical economy is a simplifying assumption that still allows economists to demonstrate key economic concepts. 20 80 100

Bus Econ 4.7.39 Question Help O An economy i s based on three sectors, agriculture, manufacturing, and energy. Production of a dollar's worth of agriculture requires inputs of $0.30 from agriculture, $0.30 from manufacturing, and $0.20 from energy. Production of a dollar's worth of manufacturing requires inputs of $0.20 from agriculture, $0.20 from manufacturing, and $0.30 from energy. Production of a dollar's worth of energy requires inputs of $0.30 from agriculture, $0.40from manufacturing, and $0.30 from energy. Find the output for each sector that is needed to satisfy a final demand of $56 billion for agriculture, $43 billion for manufacturing, and $42 billion for energy. The output of the agricultural sector is billion dollars. (Round the final answer to three decimal places as needed. Round all intermediate values to six decimal places as needed.)

1.4. Consider two economies, labelled A and B. In each one, let every two-period-lived person be endowed with 20 units of the consumption when young and nothing when old. In Economy A, each young person chooses to consume 10 units of the consump- tion good. In Economy B, each young person chooses to consume 8 units of the con- sumption good. In each economy, the young person's choice is the one that maximizes lifetime welfare. a. What, if anything, can you infer about the welfare level of the current and future generations from this information? Specifically, is one on an indifference curve representing greater welfare than the other? b. What, if anything can you infer about the welfare of the initial old from the descrip- tion given for Economies A and B?
Save A production possibilities frontier (PPF) is ou O A. a curve that shows the potential productive capabilities of the frontier (defined as the area outside of cities) of a developing economy. O B. a curve showing the maximum attainable combinations of two products that may be produced with available resources and current technology. O C. a curve showing the generally attainable combinations of two products that may be produced with all planned or potential, yet undeveloped technology. O D. a curve that illustrates the demand of two goods for the average consumer.
give 1 of the following statements that is NOT true regarding the production function and the production possibilities curve?a. Both the production fuunction and the production possibilities curve maximise the amount of output attainable.b. The production function describes the capacity of a single firm, whereas the production possibilities summarises theoutput capacity of the entire economy.c. A production function tells us the maximum amount of output attainable from the use of all resources.d. The production possibilities curve expresses the ability to produce various combinations of goods given the use of allresources
In a microeconomic model, how would you differentiate between an 'exogenous' variable and an 'endogenous' variable? O Endogenous variables are those determined within the model, while exogenous variables are given from outside the model. O Exogenous variables are those which economists do not study, while endogenous variables are heavily studied. O Exogenous variables are variables that economists cannot measure, while endogenous variables are measurable. Exogenous variables cannot influence endogenous variables in any economic model. O More than one of the above.
