Lesson4 Is an Ivy League Diploma Worth It?花钱读常春藤名校值不值?1.如果愿意的话,施瓦茨(Daniel Schwartz)本来是可以去一所常春藤联盟(Ivy League)院校读书的。
他只是认为不值。
2.18 岁的施瓦茨被康奈尔大学(Cornell University)录取了,但他最终却去了纽约市立大学麦考利荣誉学院(City University of New York’s Macaulay Honors College),后者是免费的。
3.施瓦茨说,加上奖学金和贷款的支持,家里原本是可以付得起康奈尔的学费的。
但他想当医生,他觉得医学院是更有价值的一项投资。
私立学校医学院一年的花费动辄就要4 万5 美元。
他说,不值得为了一个本科文凭一年花5 万多美元。
4.助学贷款违约率日益攀升,大量的大学毕业生找不到工作,因此越来越多的学生认定,从一所学费不太贵的学校拿到的学位和从一所精英学校拿到的文凭没什么区别,并且不必背负贷款负担。
5.Robert Pizzo 越来越多的学生选择收费较低的公立大学,或选择住在家里走读以节省住房开支。
美国学生贷款行销协会(Sallie Mae)的一份报告显示,2010 年至2011 学年,家庭年收入10 万美元以上的学生中有近25%选择就读两年制的公立学校,高于上一学年12%的比例。
6.这份报告称,这样的选择意味着,在2010 至2011 学年,各个收入阶层的家庭在大学教育上的花费比上一年少9%,平均支出为21,889 美元,包括现金、贷款、奖学金等。
高收入家庭的大学教育支出降低了18%,平均为25,760 美元。
这份一年一度的报告是在对约1,600 名学生和家长进行问卷调查后完成的。
7.这种做法是有风险的。
顶级大学往往能吸引到那些已经不再去其他学校招聘的公司前来招聘。
在许多招聘者以及研究生院看来,精英学校的文凭还是更有吸引力的。
CHAPTER 55-1. Suppose the labor supply curve is upward sloping and the labor demand curve is downward sloping. The study of economic trends over a particular time period reveals that the wage recently fell while employment levels rose. Which curve must have shifted and in which direction to produce this effect?If the supply curve does not shift, all wage and employment movements must occur along the supply curve, so that the wage rate and the employment level must move in the same direction. Because the wage went down while employment went up in the situation described in the question, it must have been the case that the supply curve shifted outwards (to the right). We do not have enough information to determine whether the demand curve shifted as well.5-2. It takes time to produce a new economist, and prospective economists base their career decision by looking only at current wages across various professions. Further, the labor supply curve of economists is much more elastic than the labor demand curve. Suppose the market is now in equilibrium, but that the demand for economists suddenly rises because a new activist government in Washington wants to initiate many new programs that require the input of economists. Illustrate the trend in the employment and wages of economists as the market adjusts to this increase in demand.Initially, the market is in equilibrium at a wage w0 and an employment level of E0. The increase the demand for economists results in a new equilibrium wage of w1 and a new equilibrium employment level of E1. However, the demand for economists in the short-run is inelastic at E0, so the demand increase simply leads to a rise in the wage of economists (as indicated by point 1). In the next period, students believe this wage will persist and oversupply the market so that the cobweb leads to a new wage at point 2. In the next period, students undersupply (because the wage is too low) and the cobweb leads to a new wage at point 3, and so on. Because of the relative elasticities of supply and demand (as drawn), the cobweb is exploding and will never converge to a stable equilibrium.5-3. Suppose the supply curve of physicists is given by w = 10 + 5E , while the demand curve is given by w = 50 – 3E . Calculate the equilibrium wage and employment level. Suppose now that the demand for physicists increases and the new demand curve is given by w = 70 – 3E . Assume this market is subject to cobwebs. Calculate the wage and employment level in each round as the wage and employment levels adjust to the demand shock. (Recall that each round occurs on the demand curve – when the firm posts a wage and hires workers). What is the new equilibrium wage and employment level?The initial equilibrium is given by 10 + 5E = 50 – 3E . Solving these two equations simultaneously implies that w = $35 and E S = E D = 5. When demand increases to w = 70 – 3E , the new equilibrium wage is $47.5 and the equilibrium level of employment is 7.5.Round Wage Employment1 $55.0 52 $43.0 93 $50.2 6.64 $45.9 8.05 $48.4 7.26 $46.9 7.77 $47.8 7.48 $47.2 7.6The table gives the values for the wage and employment levels in each round. The values in the table are calculated by noting that in any given period the number of physicists is inelastically supplied, so that the wage is determined by the demand curve. Given this wage, the number of economists available in the next period is calculated. By round 7, the market wage rate is within 30 cents of the new equilibrium.01 w 1w 0W age5-4. The 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) made it illegal for employers in the United States to knowingly hire illegal aliens. The legislation, however, has not reduced the flow of illegal aliens into the country. As a result, it has been proposed that the penalties against employers who break the law be increased substantially. Suppose that illegal aliens, who tend to be less skilled workers, are complements with native workers. What will happen to the wage of native workers if the penalties for hiring illegal aliens increase?A substantial increase in the penalties associated with hiring illegal aliens will likely reduce the number of illegal aliens entering the United States. The effect of this shift in the size of the illegal alien flow on the marginal product (and hence the demand curve) of native workers hinges on whether illegal aliens are substitutes or complements with natives. As it is assumed that natives and illegal aliens are complements, a cut in the number of illegal aliens reduces the value of the marginal product of natives, shifting down the demand for native labor, and decreasing native wages and employment.5-5. Suppose a firm is a perfectly discriminating monopsonist. The government imposes a minimum wage on this market. What happens to wages and employment?A perfectly discriminating monopsonist faces a marginal cost of labor curve that is identical to the supply curve. As a result, the employment level of a perfectly discriminating monopsonist equals theemployment level that would be observed in a competitive market (at E *) The imposition of a minimum wage at w MIN leads to the same result as in a competitive market: the firm will only want to hire E D workers as w MIN is now the marginal cost of labor, but E S workers will want to find work at the minimum wage. Thus, the wage increases, but employment falls.DollarsE w w *S D5-6. What happens to wages and employment if the government imposes a payroll tax on amonopsonist? Compare the response in the monopsonistic market to the response that would have been observed in a competitive labor market.Initially, the monopsonist hires E M workers at a wage of w M . The imposition of a payroll tax shifts the demand curve to VMP ′, and lowers employment to E ′ and the wage to w ′. Thus, the effect of imposing a payroll tax on a monopsonist is qualitatively the same as imposing a payroll tax in a competitive labor market: lower wages and employment. (It is interesting to note that the same result comes about if the payroll tax is placed on workers, so that the labor supply and marginal cost of labor curves shift as opposed to labor demand.)5-7. An economy consists of two regions, the North and the South. The short-run elasticity of labor demand in each region is –0.5. The within-region labor supply is perfectly inelastic. The labormarket is initially in an economy-wide equilibrium, with 600,000 people employed in the North and 400,000 in the South at the wage of $15 per hour. Suddenly, 20,000 people immigrate from abroad and initially settle in the South. They possess the same skills as the native residents and also supply their labor inelastically.(a) What will be the effect of this immigration on wages in each of the regions in the short run (before any migration between the North and the South occurs)?There will be no effect on the North’s labor supply in the short run, so the wage rate will not change there. In the South, labor supply will have increased by 5 percent, so the wage rate must fall by 5/(0.5) = 10 percent (recall that the elasticity of labor demand is -0.5, so a one percent decrease in wages would have been generated by a 0.5 percent expansion of the labor supply). The new hourly wage in the South, therefore, is $13.50 and total employment in the South is 420,000.DollarsEmploymentw M w ′(b) Suppose 1,000 native-born persons per year migrate from the South to the North in response to every dollar differential in the hourly wage between the two regions. What will be the ratio of wages in the two regions after the first year native labor responds to the entry of the immigrants?After the initial migration, we have seen that wages in the South are $13.50 while wages in the North are $15. This difference leads 1,500 natives migrating from the South to the North in the first year. Employment in the North after one year, therefore is 601,500. Moreover, as the elasticity of labor demand in the North is -0.5 and employment has increased by 0.25 percent, the Northern wage falls by 0.5 percent to roughly $14.93. Likewise, employment in the South after one year is 418,500. As the elasticity of labor demand is -0.5 and employment has decreased by 0.3571 percent, the Southern wage increases by0.71428 percent to roughly $13.60. Thus, the ratio of the Northern to Southern wage after one year is1.09779.(c) What will be the effect of this immigration on wages and employment in each of the regions in the long run (after native workers respond by moving across regions to take advantage of whatever wage differentials may exist)? Assume labor demand does not change in either region.In the long run, people must move from the South to the North to equalize the wage rates in the two regions. Since the wages were equal in the two regions before the influx of immigrants, and they also must be equal after things settle down, the proportional decrease in the wage rate should be the same in the North and in the South. Because the elasticity of labor demand is the same in the two regions, this last observation implies that the percentage increase in employment in the North must be the same as the percentage increase in employment in the South. Thus, as 60 percent of the original workers were employed in the North, 60 percent of the 20,000 increase in Southern employment will eventually migrate to the North. In the long run, therefore, total Northern employment will be 612,000 while total Southern employment will be 408,000. (Note: there is no presumption that only immigrants further migrate to the North.) In each region, therefore, employment increases by 2 percent in the long run, i.e., 12,000 is 2 percent of 600,000 and 8,000 is 2 percent of 400,000. (This can also be seen immediately as 20,000 is 2 percent of the 1 million workers.) Now, given that the elasticity of labor demand is -0.5, the 2 percent increase in employment will cause the wage rate to fall by 4 percent. Hence, the long-run equilibrium hourly wage will be $14.40.5-8. Chicken Hut faces perfectly elastic demand for chicken dinners at a price of $6 per dinner. The Hut also faces an upward sloped labor supply curve ofE = 20w – 120,where E is the number of workers hired each hour and w is the hourly wage rate. Thus, the Hut faces an upward sloped marginal cost of labor curve ofMC E = 6 + 0.1E.Each hour of labor produces 5 dinners. (The cost of each chicken is $0 as the Hut receives two-day old chickens from Hormel for free.) How many workers should Chicken Hut hire each hour to maximize profits? What wage will Chicken Hut pay? What are Chicken Hut’s hourly profits?First, solve for the labor demand curve: VMP E = P x MP E = $6 x 5 = $30. Thus, every worker is valued at $30 per hour by Chicken Hut. Now, setting VMP E = MC E yields 30 = 6 + .1E which implies E* = 240. Thus, Chicken Hut will hire 240 workers every hour. Further, according to the labor supply curve, 240 workers can be hired at an hourly wage of $18. Finally, Chicken Hut’s profits are Π = 240(5)($6) –240($18) = $2,880.5-9. Polly’s Pet Store has a local monopoly on the grooming of dogs. The daily inverse demand curve for pet grooming is:P = 20 – 0.1Qwhere P is the price of each grooming and Q is the number of groomings given each day. This implies that Polly’s marginal revenue is:MR = 20 – 0.2Q.Each worker Polly hires can groom 20 dogs each day. What is Polly’s labor demand curve as a function of w, the daily wage that Polly takes as given?As each worker can groom 20 dogs each day, and using Q = 20E, we have thatVMP E = MR x MP E = ( 20 – 0.2Q ) (20) = (20 – 4E)(20) = 400 – 80E.Thus, as Polly’s demand for labor satisfies VMP E = w, we have that her labor demand curve isE = 5 – 0.0125w.5-10. The Key West Parrot Shop has a monopoly on the sale of parrot souvenir caps in Key West. The inverse demand curve for caps is:P = 30 – 0.4 Qwhere P is the price of a cap and Q is the number of caps sold per hour. Thus, the marginal revenue for the Parrot Shop is:MR = 30 – 0.8Q.The Parrot Shop is the only employer in town, and faces an hourly supply of labor given by:w = 0.9E + 5where w is the hourly wage rate and E is the number of workers hired each hour. The marginal cost associated with hiring E workers, therefore, is:MC E = 1.8E + 5.Each worker produces two caps per hour. How many workers should the Parrot Shop hire each hour to maximize its profit? What wage will it pay? How much will it charge for each cap?First, as Q = 2E, the labor demand curve isVMP E = MR x MP E = (30 – 0.8Q)(2) = 60 – 1.6Q = 60 – 3.2E.Setting VMP E equal to MC E and solving for E yields E = 11. Eleven workers can be hired at a wage of.9(11) + 5 = $14.99 per hour. The 11 workers make 22 caps each hour, and the 22 caps can be sold at a price of 30 – 0.4(22) = $21.20 each.5-11. Ann owns a lawn mowing company. She has 400 lawns she needs to cut each week. Her weekly revenue from these 400 lawns is $20,000. If given an 18-inch deck push mower, a low-skill worker can cut each lawn in two hours. If given a 60-inch deck riding mower, a low-skill worker can cut the lawn in 30 minutes. Low-skilled labor is supplied inelastically at $5.00 per hour. Each laborer works 8 hours a day and 5 days each week.(a) If Ann decides to have her workers use push mowers, how many push mowers will Ann rent and how many workers will she hire?As each worker can cut a lawn in 2 hours, it follows that each worker can cut 4 lawns in a day or 20 lawns in a week. Therefore, Ann would need to rent 20 push mowers and hire 20 workers in order to cut all 400 lawns each week.(b) If she decides to have her workers use riding mowers, how many riding mowers will Ann rent and how many workers will she hire?As each worker can cut a lawn in 30 minutes, it follows that each worker can cut 16 lawns in a day or 80 lawns in a week. Therefore, Ann would need to rent 5 riding mowers and hire 5 workers in order to cut all 400 lawns each week.(c) Suppose the weekly rental cost (including gas and maintenance) for each push mower is $250 and the weekly rental cost (including gas and maintenance) of each riding mower is $1,800. What equipment will Ann rent? How many workers will she employ? How much profit will she earn?If Ann uses push mowers, her weekly cost of mowers is $250(20) = $5,000 while her weekly labor cost is $5(20)(40) = $4,000. Under this scenario, her weekly profit is $11,000. If Ann uses riding mowers, her weekly cost of mowers is $1,800(5) = $9,000 while her weekly labor cost is $5(5)(40) = $1,000. Thus, under this scenario, her weekly profit is $10,000. Therefore, under these conditions, Ann will rent 20 push mowers and employ 20 low-skill workers.(d) Suppose the government imposes a 20 percent payroll tax (paid by employers) on all labor and offers a 20 percent subsidy on the rental cost of capital. What equipment will Ann rent? How many workers will she employ? How much profit will she earn?Under these conditions, the cost of labor has increased to $6.00 per hour, while the rental costs for a push mower and a riding mower have decreased to $200 and $1,440 respectively. Ann’s profits under the two options, therefore, arePush-Profit = $20,000 – $200(20) – $6(20)(40) = $11,200.Rider-Profit = $20,000 – $1,440(5) – $6(5)(40) = $11,600.Thus, under these conditions, Ann rents riding mowers, hires 5 low-skill workers, and earns a weekly profit of $11,600.5-12. In the United States, some medical procedures can only be administered to a patient by a doctor while other procedures can be administered by a doctor, nurse, or lab technician. What might be the medical reasons for this? What might be the economic reasons for this?The American Medical Association might argue that doctors have more training and experience than nurses, and therefore, are the only professionals who can make certain decisions or perform certain procedures.Economically, the AMA has an incentive to restrict the number of people who can practice medicine (or perform certain procedures) in order to keep doctor wages high. If nurses were allowed to do everything they were capable of, fewer doctors would be demanded, and doctor wages would fall. From an economic viewpoint, therefore, the AMA restricts the supply of doctors, which keeps doctor wages artificially high.WageW restW unrestRestricted Supply ofDoctorsUnrestricted Supplyof DoctorsL rest L unrest Services Provided by DoctorsLabor Market For Medical Services Provided by Doctors。

5ELASTICITY AND ITS APPLICATION WHAT’S NEW IN THE S EVENTH EDITION:There are no major changes to this chapter.LEARNING OBJECTIVES:By the end of this chapter, students should understand:the meaning of the elasticity of demand.what determines the elasticity of demand.the meaning of the elasticity of supply.what determines the elasticity of supply.the concept of elasticity in three very different markets (the market for wheat, the market for oil, and the market for illegal drugs).CONTEXT AND PURPOSE:Chapter 5 is the second chapter of a three-chapter sequence that deals with supply and demand and how markets work. Chapter 4 introduced supply and demand. Chapter 5 shows how much buyersand sellers respond to changes in market conditions. Chapter 6 will address the impact of government polices on competitive markets.The purpose of Chapter 5 is to add precision to the supply-and-demand model. We introduce the concept of elasticity, which measures the responsiveness of buyers and sellers to changes in economic variables such as prices and income. The concept of elasticity allows us to make quantitative observations about the impact of changes in supply and demand on equilibrium prices and quantities.KEY POINTS:The price elasticity of demand measures how much the quantity demanded responds to changes in the price. Demand tends to be more elastic if close substitutes are available, if the good is a luxury rather than a necessity, if the market is narrowly defined, or if buyers have substantial time to react to a price change.The price elasticity of demand is calculated as the percentage change in quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in price. If quantity demanded moves proportionately less than the price, then the elasticity is less than one, and demand is said to be inelastic.If quantity demanded moves proportionately more than the price, then the elasticity is greater than one, and demand is said to be elastic.Total revenue, the total amount paid for a good, equals the price of the good times the quantity sold. For inelastic demand curves, total revenue moves in the same direction as the price. For elastic demand curves, total revenue moves in the opposite direction as the price.The income elasticity of demand measures how much the quantity demanded responds tochanges in consumers’ income. The cross-price elasticity of demand measures how much the quantity demanded of one good responds to the price of another good.The price elasticity of supply measures how much the quantity supplied responds to changes in the price. This elasticity often depends on the time horizon under consideration. In most markets, supply is more elastic in the long run than in the short run.The price elasticity of supply is calculated as the percentage change in quantity supplied divided by the percentage change in price. If quantity supplied moves proportionately less than the price, then the elasticity is less than one, and supply is said to be inelastic.If quantity supplied moves proportionately more than the price, then the elasticity is greater than one, and supply is said to be elastic.The tools of supply and demand can be applied in many different kinds of markets. This chapter uses them to analyze the market for wheat, the market for oil, and the market for illegal drugs.CHAPTER OUTLINE:I. The Elasticity of DemandA. Definition of elasticity: a measure of the responsiveness of quantity demanded orquantity supplied to one of its determinants.B. The Price Elasticity of Demand and Its Determinants1. Definition of price elasticity of demand: a measure of how much the quantitydemanded of a good responds to a change in the price of that good, computed as thepercentage change in quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in price.2. Determinants of the Price Elasticity of Demanda. Availability of Close Substitutes: the more substitutes a good has, the moreelastic its demand.b. Necessities versus Luxuries: necessities are more price inelastic.c. Definition of the market: narrowly defined markets (ice cream) have moreelastic demand than broadly defined markets (food).d. Time Horizon: goods tend to have more elastic demand over longer time horizons.C. Computing the Price Elasticity of Demand1. Formula2. Example: the price of ice cream rises by 10% and quantity demanded falls by 20%.Price elasticity of demand = (20%)/(10%) = 23. Because there is an inverse relationship between price and quantity demanded (theprice of ice cream rose by 10% and the quantity demanded fell by 20%), the price elasticity of demand is sometimes reported as a negative number. We will ignorethe minus sign and concentrate on the absolute value of the elasticity.D. The Midpoint Method: A Better Way to Calculate Percentage Changes and Elasticities1. Because we use percentage changes in calculating the price elasticity of demand,the elasticity calculated by going from one point to another on a demand curvewill be different from an elasticity calculated by going from the second point tothe first. This difference arises because the percentage changes are calculatedusing a different base.a. A way around this problem is to use the midpoint method.b. Using the midpoint method involves calculating the percentage change in eitherprice or quantity demanded by dividing the change in the variable by themidpoint between the initial and final levels rather than by the initial levelitself.c. Example: the price rises from $4 to $6 and quantity demanded falls from 120 to80.% change in price = (6 −4)/5 × 100 = 40%% change in quantity demanded = (120 − 80)/100 x 100 = 40%price elasticity of demand = 40/40 = 1E. The Variety of Demand Curves1. Classification of Elasticitya. When the price elasticity of demand is greater than one, demand is defined tobe elastic.b. When the price elasticity of demand is less than one, the demand is defined tobe inelastic.c. When the price elasticity of demand is equal to one, the demand is said to haveunit elasticity.2. In general, the flatter the demand curve that passes through a given point, themore elastic the demand.3. Extreme Casesa. When the price elasticity of demand is equal to zero, the demand is perfectlyinelastic and is a vertical line.b. When the price elasticity of demand is infinite, the demand is perfectlyelastic and is a horizontal line.4. FYI: A Few Elasticities from the Real WorldF. Total Revenue and the Price Elasticity of Demand1. Definition of total revenue: the amount paid by buyers and received by sellers ofa good, computed as the price of the good times the quantity sold.2. If demand is inelastic, the percentage change in price will be greater than thepercentage change in quantity demanded.a. If price rises, quantity demanded falls, and total revenue will rise (becausethe increase in price will be larger than the decrease in quantity demanded).b. If price falls, quantity demanded rises, and total revenue will fall (becausethe fall in price will be larger than the increase in quantity demanded).3. If demand is elastic, the percentage change in quantity demanded will be greaterthan the percentage change in price.a. If price rises, quantity demanded falls, and total revenue will fall (becausethe increase in price will be smaller than the decrease in quantity demanded).b. If price falls, quantity demanded rises, and total revenue will rise (becausethe fall in price will be smaller than the increase in quantity demanded).4. If demand is unit elastic, the percentage change in price will be equal to thepercentage change in quantity demanded.a. If price rises, quantity demanded falls, and total revenue will remain the same(because the increase in price will be equal to the decrease in quantitydemanded).b. If price falls, quantity demanded rises, and total revenue will remain the same(because the fall in price will be equal to the increase in quantity demanded).G. Elasticity and Total Revenue along a Linear Demand Curve1. The slope of a linear demand curve is constant, but the elasticity is not.a. At points with a low price and a high quantity demanded, demand is inelastic.b. At points with a high price and a low quantity demanded, demand is elastic.2. Total revenue also varies at each point along the demand curve.H. Other Demand Elasticities1. Definition of income elasticity of demand: a measure of how much the quantitydemanded of a good responds to a change in consumers’ income, computed as the percentage change in quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in income.a. FormulaFigure 4Note that when demand is elastic and price falls, total revenue rises. Also point out that once demand is inelastic, any further decrease in price% change in quantity demandedIncome elasticity of demand =% change in incomeb. Normal goods have positive income elasticities, while inferior goods havenegative income elasticities.ALTERNATIVE CLASSROOM EXAMPLE:John’s income rises from $20,000 to $22,000 and the quantity of hamburger he buyseach week falls from 2 pounds to 1 pound.% change in quantity demanded = (1−2)/ x 100 = %% change in income = (22,000 −20,000)/21,000 x 100 = %c. Necessities tend to have small income elasticities, while luxuries tend to havelarge income elasticities.2. Definition of cross-price elasticity of demand: a measure of how much the quantitydemanded of one good responds to a change in the price of another good, computedas the percentage change in the quantity demanded of the first good divided by the percentage change in the price of the second good.a. Formulab. Substitutes have positive cross-price elasticities, while complements havenegative cross-price elasticities.ALTERNATIVE CLASSROOM EXAMPLE:The price of apples rises from $ per pound to $ per pound. As a result, thequantity of oranges demanded rises from 8,000 per week to 9,500.% change in quantity of oranges demanded = (9,500 − 8,000)/8,750 x 100 = %% change in price of apples = − / x 100 = 40%II. The Elasticity of SupplyA. The Price Elasticity of Supply and Its Determinants1. Definition of price elasticity of supply: a measure of how much the quantitysupplied of a good responds to a change in the price of that good, computed as thepercentage change in quantity supplied divided by the percentage change in price.2. Determinants of the Price Elasticity of Supplya. Flexibility of sellers: goods that are somewhat fixed in supply (beachfrontproperty) have inelastic supplies.b. Time horizon: supply is usually more inelastic in the short run than in thelong run.B. Computing the Price Elasticity of Supply1. Formula2. Example: the price of milk increases from $ per gallon to $ per gallon and thequantity supplied rises from 9,000 to 11,000 gallons per month.% change in price = –/ × 100 = 10%% change in quantity supplied = (11,000 –9,000)/10,000 × 100 = 20%Price elasticity of supply = (20%)/(10%) = 2C. The Variety of Supply Curves1. In general, the flatter the supply curve that passes through a given point, themore elastic the supply.2. Extreme Casesa. When the elasticity is equal to zero, the supply is said to be perfectlyinelastic and is a vertical line.b. When the elasticity is infinite, the supply is said to be perfectly elastic andis a horizontal line.3. Because firms often have a maximum capacity for production, the elasticity ofsupply may be very high at low levels of quantity supplied and very low at highlevels of quantity supplied.III. Three Applications of Supply, Demand, and ElasticityA. Can Good News for Farming Be Bad News for Farmers1. A new hybrid of wheat is developed that is more productive than those used in thepast. What happens2. Supply increases, price falls, and quantity demanded rises.3. If demand is inelastic, the fall in price is greater than the increase in quantitydemanded and total revenue falls.4. If demand is elastic, the fall in price is smaller than the rise in quantitydemanded and total revenue rises.5. In practice, the demand for basic foodstuffs (like wheat) is usually inelastic.a. This means less revenue for farmers.b. Because farmers are price takers, they still have the incentive to adopt thenew hybrid so that they can produce and sell more wheat.c. This may help explain why the number of farms has declined so dramatically overthe past two centuries.d. This may also explain why some government policies encourage farmers todecrease the amount of crops planted.B. Why Did OPEC Fail to Keep the Price of Oil HighFigure 8Short Run Long Run1. In the 1970s and 1980s, OPEC reduced the amount of oil it was willing to supply toworld markets. The decrease in supply led to an increase in the price of oil and a decrease in quantity demanded. The increase in price was much larger in the short run than the long run. Why2. The demand and supply of oil are much more inelastic in the short run than thelong run. The demand is more elastic in the long run because consumers can adjust to the higher price of oil by carpooling or buying a vehicle that gets bettermileage. The supply is more elastic in the long run because non-OPEC producerswill respond to the higher price of oil by producing more.C. Does Drug Interdiction Increase or Decrease Drug-Related Crime1. The federal government increases the number of federal agents devoted to the waron drugs. What happensa. The supply of drugs decreases, which raises the price and leads to a reductionin quantity demanded. If demand is inelastic, total expenditure on drugs (equalto total revenue) will increase. If demand is elastic, total expenditure willfall.b. Thus, because the demand for drugs is likely to be inelastic, drug-relatedcrime may rise.2. What happens if the government instead pursued a policy of drug educationa. The demand for drugs decreases, which lowers price and quantity supplied. Totalexpenditure must fall (because both price and quantity fall).b. Thus, drug education should not increase drug-related crime.SOLUTIONS TO TEXT PROBLEMS:Quick Quizzes1. The price elasticity of demand is a measure of how much the quantity demanded of agood responds to a change in the price of that good, computed as the percentage change in quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in price.When demand is inelastic (a price elasticity less than 1), a price increase raisestotal revenue, and a price decrease reduces total revenue. When demand is elastic (a price elasticity greater than 1), a price increase reduces total revenue, and a price decrease increases total revenue. When demand is unit elastic (a price elasticity equal to 1), a change in price does not affect total revenue.2. The price elasticity of supply is a measure of how much the quantity supplied of agood responds to a change in the price of that good, computed as the percentage change in quantity supplied divided by the percentage change in price.The price elasticity of supply might be different in the long run than in theshort run because over short periods of time, firms cannot easily change the sizes Figure 9(a) Drug Interdiction (b) Drug Educationof their factories to make more or less of a good. Thus, in the short run, thequantity supplied is not very responsive to the price. However, over longerperiods, firms can build new factories, expand existing factories, close oldfactories, or they can enter or exit a market. So, in the long run, the quantitysupplied can respond substantially to a change in price.3. A drought that destroys half of all farm crops could be good for farmers (at leastthose unaffected by the drought) if the demand for the crops is inelastic. Theshift to the left of the supply curve leads to a price increase that will raisetotal revenue if the price elasticity of demand is less than 1.No one farmer would have an incentive to destroy her crops in the absence of adrought because she takes the market price as given. Only if all farmersdestroyed a portion of their crops together, for example through a governmentprogram, would this plan work to make farmers better off.Questions for Review1. The price elasticity of demand measures how much quantity demanded responds to achange in price. The income elasticity of demand measures how much quantitydemanded responds to changes in consumers' income.2. The determinants of the price elasticity of demand include the availability ofclose substitutes, whether the good is a necessity or a luxury, the breadth of thedefinition of the market, and the time horizon. Goods with close substitutes havegreater elasticities, luxury goods have greater price elasticities thannecessities, goods in more narrowly defined markets have greater elasticities, andthe elasticity of demand is greater the longer the time horizon.3. An elasticity greater than one means that demand is elastic. When the elasticityis greater than one, the percentage change in quantity demanded exceeds thepercentage change in price. When the elasticity equals zero, demand is perfectly inelastic. There is no change in quantity demanded when there is a change in price.4. Figure 1 presents a supply-and-demand diagram, showing the equilibrium price, P,the equilibrium quantity, Q, and the total revenue received by producers. Total revenue equals the equilibrium price times the equilibrium quantity, which is the area of the rectangle shown in the figure.Figure 15. If demand is elastic, an increase in price reduces total revenue. With elasticdemand, the quantity demanded falls by a greater percentage than the price rises.As a result, total revenue moves in the opposite direction as the price. Thus, if price rises, total revenue falls.6. A good with income elasticity less than zero is called an inferior good because asincome rises, the quantity demanded declines.7. The price elasticity of supply is calculated as the percentage change in quantitysupplied divided by the percentage change in price. It measures how much quantity supplied responds to changes in price.8. If a fixed quantity of a good is available and no more can be made, the priceelasticity of supply is zero. Regardless of the percentage change in price, therewill be no change in the quantity supplied.9. Destruction of half of the fava bean crop is more likely to hurt fava bean farmersif the demand for fava beans is very elastic. Destruction of half of the cropcauses the supply curve to shift to the left resulting in a higher price of favabeans. When demand is very elastic, an increase in price leads to a decrease intotal revenue because the decrease in quantity demanded outweighs the increase inprice.Quick Check Multiple Choice1. a2. b3. d4. c5. a6. cProblems and Applications1. a. Mystery novels have more elastic demand than required textbooks because mysterynovels have close substitutes and are a luxury good, while required textbooksare a necessity with no close substitutes. If the price of mystery novels wereto rise, readers could substitute other types of novels, or buy fewer novelsaltogether. But if the price of required textbooks were to rise, students wouldhave little choice but to pay the higher price. Thus, the quantity demanded ofrequired textbooks is less responsive to price than the quantity demanded ofmystery novels.b. Beethoven recordings have more elastic demand than classical music recordingsin general. Beethoven recordings are a narrower market than classical musicrecordings, so it is easier to find close substitutes for them. If the price of Beethoven recordings were to rise, people could substitute other classicalrecordings, like Mozart. But if the price of all classical recordings were torise, substitution would be more difficult. (A transition from classical musicto rap is unlikely!) Thus, the quantity demanded of classical recordings isless responsive to price than the quantity demanded of Beethoven recordings.c. Subway rides during the next five years have more elastic demand than subwayrides during the next six months. Goods have a more elastic demand over longertime horizons. If the fare for a subway ride was to rise temporarily, consumers could not switch to other forms of transportation without great expense orgreat inconvenience. But if the fare for a subway ride was to remain high for a long time, people would gradually switch to alternative forms of transportation.As a result, the quantity demanded of subway rides during the next six monthswill be less responsive to changes in the price than the quantity demanded ofsubway rides during the next five years.d. Root beer has more elastic demand than water. Root beer is a luxury with closesubstitutes, while water is a necessity with no close substitutes. If the price of water were to rise, consumers have little choice but to pay the higher price.But if the price of root beer were to rise, consumers could easily switch toother sodas or beverages. So the quantity demanded of root beer is moreresponsive to changes in price than the quantity demanded of water.2. a. For business travelers, the price elasticity of demand when the price oftickets rises from $200 to $250 is [(2,000 – 1,900)/1,950]/[(250 – 200)/225]= = . For vacationers, the price elasticity of demand when the price oftickets rises from $200 to $250 is [(800 – 600)/700] / [(250 – 200)/225] == .b. The price elasticity of demand for vacationers is higher than the elasticityfor business travelers because vacationers can choose a substitute more easilythan business travelers. For example, vacationers can choose a different mode of transportation (like driving or taking the train), a different destination, a different departure date, and a different return date. They may also choose to not travel at all. Business travelers are less likely to do so because their schedules are less adaptable.3. a. The percentage change in price is equal to – / x 100 = 20%. If the priceelasticity of demand is , quantity demanded will fall by 4% in the short run [ ]. If the price elasticity of demand is , quantity demanded will fall by 14% in the long run [].b. Over time, consumers can make adjustments to their homes by purchasingalternative heat sources such as natural gas or electric furnaces. Thus, they can respond more easily to the change in the price of heating oil in the long run than in the short run.4. If quantity demanded fell, price must have increased according to the law ofdemand. For a price increase to increase total revenue, the percentage increase in the price must be greater than the percentage decline in quantity demanded. Therefore, demand is inelastic.5. , a. The effect on the market for coffee beans is shown in Figure 2. When ahurricane destroys half of the crop, the supply of coffee beans decreases, the price of coffee beans increases, and the quantity decreases.QuantityPrice Figure 2Demand S 1 S 2b. The effect on the market for cups of coffee is shown in Figure 2. When theprice of coffee beans, an important input into the production of a cup ofcoffee, increases, the supply of cups of coffee decreases, the price of a cup of coffee increases, and the quantity decreases.Because cups of coffee have an inelastic demand, when the price of a cup ofcoffee increases, the total expenditure on coffee increases.c. The effect on the market for donuts is shown in Figure 3. When the price ofcoffee increases and the quantity demanded of coffee decreases, consumersdemand fewer donuts because coffee and donuts are complements. When demanddecreases, the price of donuts decreases.Because donuts have an inelastic demand, when the price of donuts decreases,the total expenditure on donuts decreases.6. a. If your income is $10,000, your price elasticity of demand as the price of DVDsrises from $8 to $10 is [(40 – 32)/36]/[(10 – 8)/9] = = 1. If your income is $12,000, the elasticity is [(50 – 45)/]/[(10 – 8)/9] = = .b. If the price is $12, your income elasticity of demand as your income increasesfrom $10,000 to $12,000 is [(30 – 24)/27]/[(12,000 – 10,000)/11,000] = = . Price Figure 3If the price is $16, your income elasticity of demand as your income increases from $10,000 to $12,000 is [(12 – 8)/10]/[(12,000 – 10,000)/11,000] = = .7. a. If Maria always spends one-third of her income on clothing, then her incomeelasticity of clothing demand is one, because maintaining her clothingexpenditures as a constant fraction of her income means the percentage changein her quantity of clothing must equal her percentage change in income.b. Maria's price elasticity of clothing demand is also one, because everypercentage point increase in the price of clothing would lead her to reduce her quantity purchased by the same percentage.c. Because Maria spends a smaller proportion of her income on clothing, then forany given price, her quantity demanded will be lower. Thus, her demand curvehas shifted to the left. Because she will again spend a constant fraction ofher income on clothing, her income and price elasticities of demand remain one.8. a. The percentage change in price (using the midpoint formula) is – / × 100%= %. Therefore, the price elasticity of demand is = , which is very elastic.b. Because the demand is inelastic, the Transit Authority's revenue rises when thefare rises.c. The elasticity estimate might be unreliable because it is only the first monthafter the fare increase. As time goes by, people may switch to other means oftransportation in response to the price increase. So the elasticity may belarger in the long run than it is in the short run.9. Walt's price elasticity of demand is zero, because he wants the same quantityregardless of the price. Jessie's price elasticity of demand is one, because he spends the same amount on gas, no matter what the price, which means hispercentage change in quantity is equal to the percentage change in price.10. a. With a price elasticity of demand of , reducing the quantity demanded ofcigarettes by 20% requires a 50% increase in price, because 20/50 = . With the price of cigarettes currently $2, this would require an increase in the priceto $ a pack using the midpoint method (note that ($ – $2)/$ = .50).b. The policy will have a larger effect five years from now than it does one yearfrom now. The elasticity is larger in the long run, because it may take sometime for people to reduce their cigarette usage. The habit of smoking is hardto break in the short run.c. Because teenagers do not have as much income as adults, they are likely to havea higher price elasticity of demand. Also, adults are more likely to beaddicted to cigarettes, making it more difficult to reduce their quantitydemanded in response to a higher price.11. To determine whether you should increase or decrease the price of admissions, youneed to know if the demand is elastic or inelastic. If demand is elastic, adecline in the price of admissions will increase total revenue. If demand isinelastic, an increase in the price of admissions will cause total revenue to rise.12. A worldwide drought could increase the total revenue of farmers if the priceelasticity of demand for grain is inelastic. The drought reduces the supply of grain, but if demand is inelastic, the reduction of supply causes a large increase in price. Total farm revenue would rise as a result. If there is only a drought in Kansas, Kansas’ production is not a large enough proportion of the total farm product to have much impact on the price. As a result, price does not change (or changes by only a slight amount), while the output by Kansas farmers declines, thus reducing their income.。

宏观经济学-课后思考题答案_史蒂芬威廉森005Chapter 5A Closed-Economy One-PeriodMacroeconomic ModelTeaching GoalsThere are three key points to be learned from this chapter. The first point is that when we allow the consumers and firms that we studied in Chapter 4 to interact with each other and with the government, the economy is able to achieve equilibrium through price adjustment. In this particular case, the “price” is the relative price of leisure, the real wage. The second important point is that the equilibrium that markets settle upon is a favorable one, in the sense of Pareto optimality. This point is in keeping with Adam Smith’s notion that the “invisible hand” of self-interested individuals, meeting in a competitive market, can work for the common good. The third point is that we can directly discover the equilibrium position of a market economy by solving an economic planner problem. Although students may find this point to be somewhat arcane, stress the point that it will be much simpler to solve problems (e.g., exam problems) by working with a planner problem as opposed to directly solving general equilibrium problems. The students, however, need to be aware when this solution method is not applicable. The new section about the Laffer curve is a good way to show when social and private optima do not coincide.Once students have mastered the mechanics of the model, the two problems for which this model is best suited are the analyses of changes in government spending and total factor productivity. In working these problems, stress the applicability of these results to historical applications and as a guide to understanding current events.A key tactic of the textbook’s approach is the critical assessment of the usefulness and credibility of competing models. Therefore, it is important to stress the extent to which models fit the facts. Does this model fit the facts of long-run growth? Does this model fit the facts of the typical business cycle? These kinds of questions come up again and again in the course of macroeconomic study. Stress again and again that scientific study needs to relate to observations, in our case the stylized facts of Chapter 2.Classroom Discussion TopicsAn alternative approach to this material is to start with the example of Robinson Crusoe (or Castaway, Gilligan’s Island, etc.). Does an isolated individual have any economic choices? What would guide these choices? Would you rather be on an island with a more plentiful food supply? A pure income effect can then be presented in the form of extra food (or a volleyball) washing up on shore, or in the form of “pirates” (government?) demanding tribute. An increase in total factor productivity can be in the form of obtaining a fishing net or a ladder to climb coconut trees. A change in capital can be the consequence of a hurricane, etc.The next step would be to ask the students about the likely consequences of additional individuals on the island. If they are all identical, and there are no economies to team production, will there be any reason for markets to exist? Could a market improve things? How and why? Typically, markets improve things only to the extent that people are different. However, these types of differences are what we are willing to ignore when we adopt the fiction of a representative consumer.Chapter 5 A Closed-Economy One-Period Macroeconomic Model 43OutlineI.

Empirical Evidence Tends to Prove Supply-Side Economists WrongTextbook Question SolutionsQuestions for Review1. A closed economy is easier to work with. Opening the economy does not change most of theproperties of an economy. The closed economy is the correct model for the world as a whole.2. Government levies taxes and purchases consumption goods.3. In a one-period model, there can be no borrowing or lending. There is therefore no way to finance agovernment deficit.4. Endogenous variables: C, N s, N d, T, Y, and w.5. Exogenous variables: G, z, K.Chapter 5 A Closed-Economy One-Period Macroeconomic Model 456. The representative consumer chooses C and N s to maximize utility.The representative firm chooses N d to maximize profits.M arket-clearing: .s d N N N == Government budget constraint: T = G .7. The slope of the production possibilities frontier is equal to .N MP ? The slope of the productionpossibilities frontier is also identified as ,,l C MRT ? where ,l C MRT is identified as the marginal rate oftransformation between leisure and consumption.8. The competitive equilibrium is Pareto optimal because it lies at a tangency point between theproduction possibilities frontier and a representative consumer’s indifference curve.9. The first theorem: A competitive equilibrium can be Pareto optimal. This theorem assures us that thecompetitive equilibrium is a good outcome. The second theorem: A Pareto optimum is a competitive equilibrium. This theorem allows us to directly analyze Pareto optima with the assurance that these points are also competitive equilibriums. The second theorem is useful because Pareto Optima are often easier to work with than competitive equilibriums.10. Externalities, noncompetitive behavior, and distorting taxes.11. , ,, , and .G Y C N l w ↑?↑↓↑↓↓ 12. Government competes with the private sector in buying goods. An increase in government spendingimplies a negative wealth effect, which results in lower consumption.13. , , and .z Y C w ↑?↑↑↑ The sign of the effects on N and l are ambiguous.14. The substitution effect of an increase in z is that the representative consumer works more hours. Theincome effect of an increase in z is that the representative household works more hours. The sign of the net effect is ambiguous.15. A distorting tax makes that households equalize their marginal rate of substitution between leisureand consumption to the after tax wage, which is different from the before tax wage that firms equalize their marginal rate of transformation to. Thus, one cannot achieve the Pareto optimum where the same wage (before tax) is equal to both marginal rates above.16. The Laffer curve takes into account that higher proportional tax rates give incentives to households towork less. While tax revenue increases with the tax rate for a given tax base, that tax base is reduced by the tax rate.17. When the income tax rate falls, households are willing to supply additional labor more in suchquantities that the tax base increases more than what the tax rate decreases, thus increasing taxrevenue.46 Williamson ? Macroeconomics, Third EditionProblems1. Although we often think about the negative externalities of congestion and pollution in cities, theremay also be some positive externalities. A concentrated population is better able to support the arts and professional sports; cities typically have a greater variety of good restaurants, etc. Perhaps a more basic issue is that there may be some increasing returns to scale at low output levels that makeindustrial production more costly in small towns. There may also be externalities in production in being located close to other producers. One example would be the financial industry in financial centers like New York, London, Tokyo, etc. Another example would be large city medical centers that enhance coordination between primary physicians and specialists.One market test of whether productivity is higher in cities would be to look at the wages in cities versus the wages in smaller towns and rural areas. Wages are often higher in cities for individuals of comparable skills. Market efficiency suggests that the higher wages be reflective of a higher marginal product of labor, and that the higher wages compensate those choosing to live in cities for the negative externalities that they face.2. In a one period model, taxes must be exactly equal to government spending. A reduction in taxes istherefore equivalent to a reduction in government spending. The result is exactly opposite of the case of an increase in government spending that is presented in the text. A reduction in government spending induces a pure income effect that induces the consumer to consume more and work less. At lower employment, the equilibrium real wage is higher because the marginal product of labor rises when employment falls. Output falls, consumption rises, employment falls and the real wage rises.3. The only impact effect of this disturbance is to lower the capital stock. Therefore, the productionpossibility frontier shifts down and the marginal product of labor falls (PPF is flatter).(a) The reduction in the capital stock is depicted in the figure below. The economy starts at point Aon PPF1. The reduction in the capital stock shifts the production possibilities frontier to PPF2.Because PPF2 is flatter, there is a substitution effect that moves the consumer to point D. Theconsumer consumes less of the consumption good and consumes more leisure. Less leisure also means that the consumer works more. Because the production possibilities frontier shifts down, there is also an income effect. The income effect implies less consumption and less leisure (more work). On net, consumption must fall, but leisure could decrease, remain the same, or increase, depending on the relative strengths of the income and substitution effect. The real wage must also fall. To see this, we must remember that, in equilibrium, the real wage must equal the marginal rate of substitution. The substitution effect implies a lower marginal rate of substitution. The income effect is a parallel shift in the production possibilities frontier. As the income effect increases the amount of employment, marginal product of labor must fall from point D topoint B. This reinforces the reduction in the marginal rate of substitution from point A to point D.Chapter 5 A Closed-Economy One-Period Macroeconomic Model 47(b) Changes in the capital stock are not likely candidates for the source of the typical business cycle.While it is easy to construct examples of precipitous declines in capital, it is more difficult toimagine sudden increases in the capital stock. The capital stock usually trends upward, and thisupward trend is important for economic growth. However, the amount of new capital generatedby a higher level of investment over the course of a few quarters, of a few years, is very small in comparison to the existing stock of capital. On the other hand, a natural disaster that decreases the stock of capital implies lower output and consumption, and also implies lower real wages,which are all features of the typical business cycle contraction.4. Government Productivity. First consider the benchmark case in which 1,z= and there is no effect of changes in z on government activities. Now suppose that z increases. This case of an increase in z isdepicted in the figure below. The original production possibilities frontier is labeled PPF1 and thecompetitive equilibrium is at point A. If the increase in z only affects the economy through thechange in (,),zF K N then the new production possibilities frontier is PPF2. The diagram shows acase in which the income and substitution effects on leisure exactly cancel out, and the economy moves to point B. The equation for the production possibilities frontier is (,).C zF K h l T=?? In the benchmark case, T G= and so we have (,).C zF K h l G=?? For this problem, /T G z=, and so the production possibilities frontier is given by (,)/.C zF K h l G z=?? When 1,z= the two PPFs coincide. When z increases, the vertical intercept of the PPF increases by /.G zΔ Therefore, the newPPF is PPF3 in the figure below. The competitive equilibrium is at point C. There is an additionalincome effect that provides an additional increase in equilibrium consumption, and a reinforced income effect that tend to make leisure increase. Therefore, relative to the benchmark case, there is a larger increase in consumption, and either a smaller decrease in leisure or a larger increase in leisure.48 Williamson ? Macroeconomics, Third Edition5. Change in preferences.(a) At the margin, the consumer decides that leisure is more preferred to consumption. That is, theconsumer now requires a bigger increase in consumption to willingly work more (consume lessleisure). In more intuitive language, the consumer is lazier.(b) To work out the effects of this change in tastes, we refer to the figure below. The productionpossibility frontier in this example is unchanged. The consumer now picks a new point at which one of the flatter indifference curves is tangent to the production possibilities frontier. That is,equilibrium will shift from point A to point B. Consumption falls and leisure rises. Therefore, the consumer works less and produces less. Because employment has fallen, it also must be the case that the real wage increases.(c) This disturbance, which some might characterize as a contagious outbreak of laziness, wouldhave the appearance of a recession, as output and employment both fall. The consequentreduction in consumption is also consistent with a typical recession. However, in this case thereal wage would rise, which is inconsistent with the business cycle facts. Therefore, this type ofpreference change is not a cause of recessions.Chapter 5 A Closed-Economy One-Period Macroeconomic Model 496. Production-enhancing aspects of government spending.(a) The increase in government spending in this example has two separate effects on the productionpossibilities frontier. First, the increase in government spending from G1 to G2implies a paralleldownward shift in the production possibilities frontier. Second, the productive nature of government spending is equivalent to an increase in total factor productivity that shifts the production possibilities frontier upward and increases its slope. The figure below draws theoriginal production possibilities frontier as PPF1 and the new production possibilities frontier asPPF2. If the production-enhancing aspects of the increase in government spending are largeenough, representative consumer utility could rise, as in this figure.(b) There are three effects at work in this example. First, there is a negative income effect from theincrease in taxes needed to pay for the increased government spending. This effect tends to lower both consumption and leisure. Second, there is a substitution effect due to the productive effect of the increase in G, which is drawn as the movement from point A to point D. This effect tends to increase both consumption and leisure. Third, there is a positive income effect from theincrease in G on productivity. This effect tends to increase both consumption and leisure. In the figure above, the movement from point D to point B is the net effect of the two income effects. In general, consumption may rise or fall, and leisure may rise or fall. The overall effect on output is the same as in any increase in total factor productivity. Output surely rises.50 Williamson ? Macroeconomics, Third Edition7. The fact that government spending make firms more productive is similar to adding G to theproduction function. There are now two effects to an increase in government expenses: the standard crowding out of consumption, and now also an efficiency effect on production.(a) The figure below illustrates a particular situation where the welfare of the household is improved,as illustrated by a shift to the north-east of the indifference curve. The equilibrium shifts fromA toB as the PPF is lowered by the additional government expenses but is also getting steeperthanks to the same government expenses.(b) From previous results, we know that output increases with the increase in government expenses.This is now reinforced as G increases production efficiency. Regarding consumption and leisure, without this new effect, we obtained that an increase in G lead to a negative income effect andthus to decreases in both consumption and leisure. But as the real wage went down, there wasalso a substitution effect leading to an additional decrease in consumption and increase in leisure.The new effect on the production function adds opposite effects: a positive income effect and awage increase, thus possibly reversing, or not, anything that was concluded without the impact ofG on production.Chapter 5 A Closed-Economy One-Period Macroeconomic Model 51 8. We need to analyze each case separately. Start with the good equilibrium. As government expensesincrease, more tax revenue needs to be raised, and thus the tax rate needs to be increased. As shown in the figure below, this tilts down the linear PPF. The new equilibrium leads to a lower indifference curve. This leads to a negative income effect and a lower wage (remember, it is z(1 ? t)), thus a substitution effect. The income effect lowers consumption and leisure, the substitution effectdecreases consumption and increases leisure. All in all, consumption is lower and leisure is higher, as we know that the substitution effect dominates the income effect. This means that the labor supplyis reduced, and thus equilibrium labor and output.The story is different in the bad equilibrium. To increase tax revenue, one needs to reduce the tax rate. Then all the changes discussed above are exactly in the opposite direction.9. We know from previous analysis that an improvement in total factor productivity pushes up the PPF,and thus leads to an increase in consumption, a decrease in leisure, and thus an increase in thequantity of labor supplied. This increases the tax base, and thus allows to reduce the tax rate toachieve the same tax revenue, or in other words, it pushes the left portion of the Laffer curve to the left. The reduction in the tax rate has then a further impact on the variables of interest: as we saw in question 7, first part with a reversal of all signs: consumption increases even more and leisure decrease yet more, leading to an even higher quantity of labor. All in all, as both labor and total factorproductivity increase, output increases.。
