  1. Consider an economy with two sectors, a traditional one labeled T with many producers but all added up in one representative firm for the sector, and an industrial one labeled I composed of a price limiting monopolist. There is only one factor of production in the economy, namely (unskilled) labour, where there are one hundred individuals. The traditional sector produces rice () in a competitive market with linear (constant returns) production function  where  denotes the amount of labour used in that sector. The price limiting monopolist on the other hand produces rice with a production function that has increasing returns, which is defined as

This technology captures the idea that only if a sufficient number of workers hired in the industrial sector, above 5, then the monopolist enters the economy and produces. Note that the monopolist has a higher productivity since its marginal product of labour is 3 while that of sector T is 1. The amount of labour in the economy is distributed in both sectors i.e.  for any labour allocation. The price of rice for both sectors is normalized to one, the wage in the traditional sector is denoted  while that in the industrial sector is denoted  where  represents the cost of migrating from the traditional sector to the industrial sector, a switching cost that can be say transportation.

Suppose the demand for rice from the traditional sector is defined as , where , while the complement  is the demand for rice from the monopolist where Y denotes total labour income in the economy, i.e. . The distribution of labour among the two sectors determines if the monopolist enters since that would only happen if  is sufficiently large, otherwise it would not, in which case the demand for rice is satisfied only by the traditional sector and . In what follows we study the conditions under which industrialization through a Big Push would arise or not.

Note that the profit function for the traditional sector is need some help in finishing the paper. 2 while that for the industrial sector is

a. Suppose that competition will make profits go down to zero in the long run for the traditional sector. The competitive wage that generates zero profits regardless of the level of  used is ____(numeric answer). If d=1 the equilibrium wage the monopolist faces then is ____(numeric).

b. Consider the industrial sector and determine the minimum amount of labour, denoted , for the monopolist to demand in order to have non-negative profits as a function of d. If d=1 then ____(numeric answer).

c. Find the total labour income Y as a function of  and d.   When d=1 and =25 then Y=____(numeric answer).

d. Replace the total labour income function Y  found in c. into the demand function  for traditional rice and   for the industrial rice. When  =0.8, d=1 and =25 then demand for traditional rice is____(numeric answer).

Up to this point we have assumed a given value for . Now we need to determine the amount of labour supplied in to the industrial sector as a function of  and d.

e. In order to do that equate the supply and demand of rice in the traditional sector to determine  as a function of   and .  But since   then using this you can find the supply of labour for the industrial sector denoted  as a function of   and d.  If  =0.8 and d=1 then  =____(numeric answer, round to nearest integer)

There are two cases to consider: i) when  such that the monopolist enters and attains profits, in which case industrialization arises (Big Push) in the economy in equilibrium; ii) when  such that the monopolist attains non-positive profits and therefore does not enter and the traditional sector is the only one operating in the economy.

f. Under  and  does industrialization arise?_____(choose either: YES or NO).

Consider an industry with nine domestic firms and a market demand function of  where  denotes price per unit and  the quantity demanded in the market. Each firm supplies  for  where a is a parameter that measures efficiency, the higher it is the more efficient the firm is.

a. Find the market supply curve for the industry. If the price in the market is say 1 and the parameter a is zero then the quantity supplied in the market is ___ (numeric answer).

b. Find the price and quantity in the industry if there is no free trade as functions of the parameter   . When a is zero then the equilibrium price is___(numeric answer) while the equilibrium quantity is___(numeric answer). (Hint: graph the supply and demand curves, where price is in the vertical axis and quantities in the horizontal axis when the parameter a, is zero for your own understanding)

c. Suppose that the economy opens up to world trade where the price in world markets is  and market supply curve is horizontal.  When a is zero the quantity produced domestically is ____(numeric answer), the quantity demanded is ____(numeric answer) and the amount imported is ____(numeric answer).

d.  Suppose the government implements an Import Substitution Industrialization (ISI) policy that imposes a promotional tariff  per unit imported such that the price in the domestic economy is now  When  the quantity produced domestically is ____(numeric answer), the quantity imported is ____(numeric answer) Compute the revenue that the government collects with this policy and the deadweight loss from the policy. The revenue for the government is ____(numeric answer) and the deadweight loss from the policy is ____(numeric answer)

e. Suppose the ISI policy is implemented and it is announced to the industry that it will be phased out gradually for a certain period of time and requires domestic firms to achieve efficiency gains, represented as increases in the level of  in the domestic industry through "learning by doing" coupled with economies of scale. Find = ____ (numeric answer) such that the amount supplied by domestic firms at the end of the period is the same aggregate amount under no free trade found above but at the world price .
