QuestionsforReview
1.Thefactorsofproductionandtheproductiontechnologydeterminetheamountofoutputaneconomycanproduce.Thefactorsofproductionaretheinputsusedtoproducegoodsandservices:
themostimportantfactorsarecapitalandlabor.Theproductiontechnologydetermineshowmuchoutputcanbeproducedfromanygivenamountsoftheseinputs.Anincreaseinoneofthefactorsofproductionoranimprovementintechnologyleadstoanincreaseintheeconomy’soutput.
2.Whenafirmdecideshowmuchofafactorofproductiontohireordemand,itconsidershowthisdecisionaffectsprofits.Forexample,hiringanextraunitoflaborincreasesoutputandthereforeincreasesrevenue;
thefirmcomparesthisadditionalrevenuetotheadditionalcostfromthehigherwagebill.Theadditionalrevenuethefirmreceivesdependsonthemarginalproductoflabor(MPL)andthepriceofthegoodproduced(P).AnadditionalunitoflaborproducesMPLunitsofadditionaloutput,whichsellsforPdollarsperunit.Therefore,theadditionalrevenuetothefirmisPMPL.ThecostofhiringtheadditionalunitoflaboristhewageW.Thus,thishiringdecisionhasthefollowingeffectonprofits:
ΔProfit=ΔRevenue–ΔCost
=(PMPL)–W.
Iftheadditionalrevenue,PMPL,exceedsthecost(W)ofhiringtheadditionalunitoflabor,thenprofitincreases.Thefirmwillhirelaboruntilitisnolongerprofitabletodoso—thatis,untiltheMPLfallstothepointwherethechangeinprofitiszero.Intheequationabove,thefirmhireslaboruntilΔProfit=0,whichiswhen(PMPL)=W.
Thisconditioncanberewrittenas:
MPL=W/P.
Therefore,acompetitiveprofit-maximizingfirmhireslaboruntilthemarginalproductoflaborequalstherealwage.Thesamelogicappliestothefirm’sdecisionregardinghowmuchcapitaltohire:
thefirmwillhirecapitaluntilthemarginalproductofcapitalequalstherealrentalprice.
3.Aproductionfunctionhasconstantreturnstoscaleifanequalpercentageincreaseinallfactorsofproductioncausesanincreaseinoutputofthesamepercentage.Forexample,ifafirmincreasesitsuseofcapitalandlaborby50percent,andoutputincreasesby50percent,thentheproductionfunctionhasconstantreturnstoscale.
Iftheproductionfunctionhasconstantreturnstoscale,thentotalincome(orequivalently,totaloutput)inaneconomyofcompetitiveprofit-maximizingfirmsisdividedbetweenthereturntolabor,MPLL,andthereturntocapital,MPKK.Thatis,underconstantreturnstoscale,economicprofitiszero.
4.ACobb–DouglasproductionfunctionhastheformF(K,L)=AKαL1–α.Thetextshowedthattheparameterαgivescapital’sshareofincome.Soifcapitalearnsone-fourthoftotalincome,thenα=0.25.Hence,F(K,L)=AK0.25L0.75.
5.Consumptiondependspositivelyondisposableincome—i.e.theamountofincomeafteralltaxeshavebeenpaid.Higherdisposableincomemeanshigherconsumption.
Thequantityofinvestmentgoodsdemandeddependsnegativelyontherealinterestrate.Foraninvestmenttobeprofitable,itsreturnmustbegreaterthanitscost.Becausetherealinterestratemeasuresthecostoffunds,ahigherrealinterestratemakesitmorecostlytoinvest,sothedemandforinvestmentgoodsfalls.
6.Governmentpurchasesareameasureofthevalueofgoodsandservicespurchaseddirectlybythegovernment.Forexample,thegovernmentbuysmissilesandtanks,buildsroads,andprovidesservicessuchasairtrafficcontrol.AlloftheseactivitiesarepartofGDP.Transferpaymentsaregovernmentpaymentstoindividualsthatarenotinexchangeforgoodsorservices.Theyaretheoppositeoftaxes:
taxesreducehouseholddisposableincome,whereastransferpaymentsincreaseit.ExamplesoftransferpaymentsincludeSocialSecuritypaymentstotheelderly,unemploymentinsurance,andveterans’benefits.
