Question

Draw a labor supply curve and a labor demand curve. Label them LS0 and LD0. Draw a point the equilibrium quantity of labor and the equilibrium real wage rate. Label it 1. Draw and label a curve that shows the effect of an increase in labor productivity. Draw a point at the new equilibrium quantity of labor and the equilibrium real wage rate. Label it 2. An increase in labor productivity increases potential GDP because​ ______.

Answer 1

employment increases and a given amount of employment produced more real GDP.

Step-by-step explanation:

Labor productivity is the measurement of the hourly output of a country's economy. This tells us the amount of GDP that is produced by an hour of labor. On the other hand, GDP (Gross Domestic Product) is the monetary value of all goods and services within a country in a specific period of time. Therefore, when we have an increase in labor productivity, we also have an increase in potential GDP because employment increases and a given amount of employment produces more real GDP.
