Diagrams Flashcards
What is the equation of the production function?
Y=AF(K,N)
Y=AK^aN^(1-a)
What shifts the production function?
Supply shocks
How is the demand function for labour derived?
pi = p x Y(.) - W x N
Differentiate wrt N
MRPN=W
MPN=w
What shifts the demand for labour?
Supply shocks
Changes in capital stock
How is the supply of labour derived?
U=U(c,L)
SE: opportunity costs can affect work supply
IE: change in income in the same amount of work time can affect labour supply
Pure SE: one day increase in wages
Pure IE: change in wealth or expected future wage
IE stronger in LR
What shifts the individual labour supply curve?
Wealth
Expected future real wage
What shifts the aggregate labour supply?
Wealth
Expected future real wage
Participation rate
Working age population
What are the budget constraints for current period consumption and future period consumption?
a^f = y - c + a
C^f = y^f + (1+r)a^f
What is the equation of the intertemporal budget constraint?
c^f = y^f + (y+a)(1+r) - (1+r)c
What is the no borrowing no lending point?
When y^f=y+a
What shifts the intertemporal budget constraint?
y^f
y
a
What is the effect of a change in r on the intertemporal budget constraint?
Assume increase in interest rates:
SE= future consumption becomes cheaper relative to current consumption
- Shift angle of budget more steep, make sure tangent to utility function
IE:
Lender: increase in income/wealth, increase in consumption and future consumption, less saving
- Shift curve outwards, make sure it goes through no borrowing no lending point
Borrower: decrease in income/wealth, decrease current consumption and future consumption. Increase saving
- Shift curve inwards
What is the function of the user cost curve?
uc = rp +dp - change in value of p
What is the equilibrium of the investment diagram?
MPK^f=uc
What shifts the uc curve?
Interest on capital
Depreciation rate
Change in the value of p
P
Tax
What shifts the MPK^f curve?
Technological changes
What is the goods market equilbrium?
Where Y=Yad
Y=C^d+I^d+G
Y-C^d-g = I^d
S^d=I^d
What shifts the savings curve?
Wealth
Expected future income
G
Income
Effective tax rate
Expected future output
Explain the effect of increased G on the goods market?
Increased G
Decrease in national saving
Increased interest rates
Lower investment
