Neoclassical Model of Investment" (1 point): In class, we discussed the idea of net investment, and how it could change in respo

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

Take Note that the model has following relationship between investment and factors that affect it

Int = F(Ye, it, d, πe, tc, Kt-1)

Net investment is a function of

Expected output (Ye),

Rental or user cost of capital (such as nominal interest rate it),

Expected inflation (πe),

Corporate tax/ investment tax credit,

Existing stock of capital

For a given stock of capital,

A rise in expected output (Ye), increases investment

A rise in expected inflation (πe) increases investment

A rise in the investment tax credit increases investment.

A rise in nominal/real rate of interest decreases investment

A rise in corporate income tax decreases net investment

(a) Anti-inflationary monetary policy raises the real interest rate (r ↑). As mentioned, it will depress net investment as firms have to pay a higher rate of interest on the investment made. Such policy increases rental cost of capital and it will decrease the desired capital stock.

b) An earthquake destroys part of the capital stock (K ↓). This will reduce net investment, increases rental cost of capital and it will decrease the desired capital stock.

(c) Immigration of foreign workers increases the size of the labor force (L ↑). With more workers to share the capital stock, marginal producivity of capital rises and so net investment increases. This decreases rental cost of capital and it will increase the desired capital stock.

(d) Advances in computer technology make production more efficient (A ). This causes the net investment to increase as the marginal productivity of capital will increase. This decreases rental cost of capital and it will increase the desired capital stock.

Which of the following are considered characteristics of money? I. Portable II. Uniform III. Divisible IV. Acceptable a. I and I

pogonyaev

All options are considered characteristics of money. So the right option is E

Explanation:

Money is characterised by durability portability, divisibility, uniformity, limited supply, and acceptability.

Two representations of alternative forms of money can be compared:

A cow In various points in history, cattle were used as currency.
A stack of US$ 20 bills equal to one cow's worth.

1) Durability: A cow is quite safe, but a long journey on the market threatens the cow being sick or dead and can seriously reduce its worth.

2) Portability: Although the cow is hard to move to the market, it can easily be put into my pocket.

3) Divisibility: A 20-dollar bill can be exchanged for other denominations, say a 10, a 5, four 1s, and 4 quarters. A cow, on the other hand, is not very divisible.

4) Uniformity: Cows come in various sizes and shapes, with a different value for each; cows are not very standardized.

5) Limited supply: Money must have a limited supply to sustain its worth. Although cows are quite limited in supply, if they are used as income, ranchers should make every effort to increase the supply of cows that decreases their value. The Federal Reserve controls the rule and thus the interest of 20-dollar notes— and the currency as a whole— so that the money keeps the value over time.

6) Acceptability: Although the worth of cows is intrinsic, some might not consider bovine animals as property. Men, however, are more than willing to accept bills worth 20 cents. In fact, your right to use US currencies to settle bills is protected by the US government.
