Principles of Macroeconomics Unit 4 Homework Questions

Chapter 7 Unemployment and Inflation – Questions 2, 3, 5, and 7

2. (Measuring Unemployment) Suppose that the U.S. non-institutional adult population is 230 million and the labor force participation rate is 67 percent.

a. What would be the size of the U.S, labor force?

b. If 85 million adults are not working, what is the unemployment rate?

3. (Types of Unemployment) Determine whether each of the following would be considered frictional, structural, seasonal, or cyclical unemployment:

a. A UPS employee who was hired for the Christmas season is laid off after Christmas.

b. A worker is laid off due to reduced aggregate demand in the economy.

c. A worker in a DVD rental store becomes unemployed as video-on-demand cable service becomes more popular.

d. A new college graduate is looking for employment.

5. (The Meaning of Full Employment) When the economy is at full employment, is the unemployment rate at zero percent? Why or why not? How would a more generous unemployment insurance system affect the full employment figure?

7. (Inflation) Here are some recent data on the U.S. consumer price index:

Compute the inflation rate for each year 1993-2012 and determine which were years of inflation. In which year did deflation occur? In which year did disinflation occur? Was there hyperinflation in any year?

Chapter 8 – Productivity and Growth – Questions 1, 5, and 7

1. (Measuring Labor Productivity) How do we measure labor productivity? How do changes in labor productivity affect the U.S. standard of living?

5. (Long-Term Productivity Growth) Suppose that two nations start out in 2013 with identical levels of output per work hour—say, $100 per hour. In the first nation, labor productivity grows by 1 percent per year. In the second, it grows by 2 percent per year. Use a calculator or a spreadsheet to determine how much output per hour each nation will be producing 20 years later, assuming that labor productivity growth rates do not change. Then, determine how much each will be producing per hour 100 years later. What do your results tell you about the effects of small differences in productivity growth rates?

7. (Technological Change and Unemployment) What are some examples, other than those given in the chapter, of technological change that has caused unemployment? And what are some examples of new technologies that have created jobs? How do you think you might measure the net impact of technological change on overall employment and GDP in the United States

Discuss the types and history of hazards – both natural and man-made.

Type: Individual Project

Due Date: Mon, 08/31/15

Points Possible: 135

Deliverable Length: 750–1000 words

Description:

Weekly tasks or assignments (Individual or Group Projects) will be due by Monday and late submissions will be assigned a late penalty in accordance with the late penalty policy found in the syllabus. NOTE: All submission posting times are based on midnight Central Time.

You are an emergency manager in a medium-sized city. Your city manager is new to the position, from a human resource background, and is therefore unfamiliar with the risks posed by natural and technological hazards. Therefore, the city manager would like you to provide him with some introductory information related to risks and hazards, including appropriate response strategies to help him understand the challenges faced by your community and the nation overall.

At this point, your city manager is asking for the big picture and states that he will require additional specific details related to emergency management at a future date.

Assignment Guidelines

Your assignment is to complete an informational memorandum of 750–1,000 words that summarizes 2–3 of the most significant natural hazards facing America today.

Define the following terms, and provide 1 example and a brief explanation of each term:

Natural hazard

Technological hazard

Risk

Risk assessment

List and summarize 2–3 of the most significant natural hazards facing America today.

For each hazard listed, describe 1 appropriate response strategy that could be used to address the hazard.

Because your city is located in an area where natural hazards such as tornadoes and floods are a significant issue, your city manager would like for your informational memorandum to focus on natural hazards.

Please submit your assignment.

For assistance with your assignment, please use your text, Web resources, and all course materials.

Objectives:

Understand the definitions of important emergency management terms such as catastrophe, threats, and mitigations.
