Fractional unemployment arises when |
Unskilled or low skilled workers find it difficult to obtain desirable long term jobs
Labor must be reallocated from industries that are shrinking to areas that are growing.
Workers must search for suitable jobs and firms must search for suitable workers.
Output and employment are below full employment levels
|
2 |
Full- employment output is the level of output that firms in the economy supply when |
Taxes are zero
Wages and prices have fully adjusted
The unemployment rate in zero
All capital is fully utilized
|
3 |
The equilibrium level of employment achieved after the complete adjustment of wages and prices, is known as the. |
Zero unemployment level of employment
Natural state
Invisible handshake
Full employment level of employment
|
4 |
The aggregate supply of labor is the |
Total amount of time a person works over his or her lifetime
Total amount of time a person spend in the labor force over his or her life time
Unemployment rate
Sum of the labor supplied by everyone in the economy

A favorable supply shock such as a fall in the price of oil
an adverse supply shock such as a reduced supply of raw materials.
|
6 |
Firms hire labor at the point where the |
Nominal wage rate equals the marginal product of labor
Real wage rate equals the marginal revenue product of capital
Nominal wage rate equals the marginal revenue product of labor

|
7 |

|
8 |
An increase in the number of workers hired by a firm could result from |
a decrease in the marginal product of labor
a decrease in the marginal revenue product of labor
An increase in the real wage
A decrease in the real wage
|
9 |
An increase in the real wage rate will cause. |
The labor demand curve to shift to the right

A movement along the labor demand curve
|
10 |
The fac that the production function relating output to labor becomes flatter as wemove from left to right means that. |
The marginal product of labor is positive
The marginal product of capital is positive
There is diminishing marginal productivity of labor

|
11 |
The two main characteristics of the production function are. |
It slopes downward from left to right and the slope become flatter as teh input increases
It slopes upward from left to the right the slope becomes steeper as the input increase
It slopes upward from left to right unput increases
It slopes downward from left to right and the slope becomes steeper ath the input increase
|
12 |
An increase in the real wage rate will cause |

|
14 |
The fact that the production function relating output to labor becomes flatter as we move from left to right means that. |
The marginal product of labor is positive

There is diminishing marginal productivity of labor
there is diminishing marginal productivity of capital
|
15 |
The marginal product of labor |
Is measured by the slope of the production function relating capital of employment
Is larger when the labor supply is relatively larger
Is smaller when the labor supply is relatively smaller
Decreases as the number of workers already employed increases
|
16 |
The fact that the Production function relating output to capital becomes flatter as we move from left to right means that. |
