Nancy has both a comparative and absolute advantage in replacing clutches because she only takes 2 hours to replace a clutch, whereas Bill takes 6 hours. Nancy therefore is 3 times as efficient in her use of resources in replacing clutches.   
With regards to replacing brakes, both individuals take 4 hours, so neither has either an absolute or comparative advantage.

The ________, which replaces workers with technology, is another cause of the changes in the job market.
Allisa [31]

The automation of the workplace, which replaces workers with technology, is another cause of the changes in the job market.

<h3><u>What is automation?</u></h3>
  • A broad range of technologies that minimize human involvement in operations are referred to as automating.
  • By predetermining decision criteria, subprocess linkages, and related actions — and embodying those predeterminations in computers – human intervention is decreased.
  • An industrial control system with tens of thousands of input measurements and output control signals can be automated, as can a thermostat controlling a boiler in a home.
  • The banking industry has also been impacted by automation. Control complexity can range from straightforward on-off control to sophisticated multivariable algorithms.

Automation is the use of a variety of tools and control systems, such as machinery, factory processes, boilers, and heat-treating ovens, as well as the activation of telephone networks and the steering and stabilization of ships, aircraft, and other applications and vehicles with a minimum of human intervention.

Many demographers predict that the United States will have zero population growth in the twenty-first century, in contrast to av
ANTONII [103]

Answer and Explanation:

Different things being constant, a slowdown in population growth will lead to an increase in the availability of capital per worker and output per worker.

At the steady state, output per worker will grow at the rate of g while. Thus, steady state per person output growth will be same, however total output will increase at the rate n+g.

In case of transition between steady states, during the transition phase, output per worker will grow at a rate greater than g. Overtime in the long run with a fall in population growth, total output will fall while output per worker will increase.

Which of these factors would NOT cause the supply curve for a particular good to shift?a. a change in the technology used to pro
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

The answer is: a change in the price at which a substitute good is sold

Explanation:

A shift in supply means a change in the quantity supplied at every price.

Let's assume we sell product A. If the price of a substitute product B increases, then the quantity demanded for product A will increase as the quantity demanded for product B decreases. That will cause an increase in the quantity supplied of product A, which may in turn rise the price of product A until again both products (A and B) match their prices.

Instead, a shift in the supply curve means that the quantity supplied of a product will change at every price level.
