Explain whether each of the following changes in the composition of the labor force is likely toaffect frictional or structural unemployment and increase or decrease the measured natural rate ofunemployment.(a) A “baby boom” causes an increase in the share of young workers (age 16–24) as a percentageof the labor force. (b) A loosening of federal restrictions on eligibility for disability benefits leads to an increase inthe number of people receiving disability payments
Assume that an economy operates according to the sticky-wage model. The nominal wagewas set to make labor supply and labor demand equal when the expected price levelequaled 120 (as measured by the consumer price index).a. Use a graph of the labor market to illustrate what happens to the quantity oflabor employed if the actual price level over the time period when wages arestuck equals 110.b. Use a graph of the production function to illustrate how the quantity of outputproduced changes if the actual price level equals 110 when the expected pricelevel is 120.c. Given the unexpectedly low price level, will this economy be operating above,below, or at the natural rate?
Consider a hypothetical economy in which the labor force consists of 300 people. Of those, 270 people are employed full-time and 30 people are unemployed. The economy follows the same conventions as the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) in computing its employment figures. Therefore, Initially the unemployment rate is calculated as follows: Unemployment Rate = Manber of played ople Number of Popie Labor Fore 30 x 100 300 <= 10% W x 100 Suppose a reduction in foreign demand for this economy's products causes an economic recession following table offers two possible scenarios resulting from the recession. Calculate the unemployment rate associated with each scenario in the following table. Assume that each scenario describes the only labor market changes in this economy. Scenario A: Firms reduce work hours by 10%. The number of involuntary part-time workers rises as firms respond to the reduction in the demand for their products by reducing the hours of each employed person from 40…
Consider an economy that experiences an outflow of working age people and a decline in aggregatelabour supply as a result. Suppose the aggregate labour demand curve is not affected by this change.(a) Explain, with the aid of the labour-market-equilibrium diagram, how this will affect the equilibriumreal wage and the full-employment level of employment. (b) Explain, with the aid of three separate IS-LM-FE diagrams, how this will affect real output, realinterest rate and the general price level in three steps:(i) before the general price level adjusts;(ii) when the general price level is adjusting;(iii) after the price adjustment process is completed.Is the general price level increasing or decreasing during the price adjustment process? Explain theintuition of your answer with reference to the AD-AS framework.
