Question Paper
Given the supply and demand for the
Cobweb model as :
Qst and Qdt 19 — 6Pt
Find the inter temporal equilibrium price and determine whether the equilibrium is stable. Establish the stability condition of Samuelson's multiplier accelerator model.
2. The input coefficient matrix for an economy is given by <img src='./qimages/9908-2.jpg'>
Find the level of output.
3. Consider the Cobb-Douglas production function,
<br><br> <img src='./qimages/9908-3.jpg'>
Prove that,
(a) It is homogeneous of degree 1.
(b) The marginal and average productivities of L and K the two inputs depend on the ratio of the 2 inputs.
(c) Elasticity of substitution is unity.
4.(a) Define standard error of a statistic. Explain how is it useful in testing of hypothesis and decision making.
