1a w = 12 K 0.4 L−0.
2a Most developed economies experienced rapid technological progress in the past several decades.
Suppose technological progress mainly happens in secondary industries, but not in primary
industries. Assume that both primary and secondary sectors employ workers with similar
qualifications. How would technological progress affect the real wage of secondary workers and real
wage of primary workers?
primary drops, decreases factor of productivity in pdtion func, decrease in real wage
secondary rises, increases factor of productivity in pdtion func, increase in real wage
both rises
5a increase in net export of services by tourism from natural scenery
B L and K reduce, output n thus gdp reduces
C gdp is uncertain, depending on the degree of change by SR expenditure n LR production capcity
2b tech progress increases factor of productivity in pdtion func, overall employment n output rise
3 real wage rises n rental drops
4a 400
B 7.41
C imported workers
