In the discussion of German and Japanese postwar growth, the text describes what happens when part of the capital stock is destroyed in a war. By contrast, suppose that a war does not directly affect the capital stock, but that casualties reduce the labor force. Assume the economy was in a steady state before the war, the saving rate is unchanged, and the rate of population growth after the war returns to normal.

What is the immediate impact of the war on total output and on output per person?

White truffles are a very prized and rare edible fungus that grow naturally in the countryside near alba, italy. suppose that it costs $200 per day to search for white truffles. on an average day, the total number of white truffles (t) found in alba is t = 20x − x 2 , where x is the number of people searching for white truffles on that day. white truffles can be sold for $100 each. if there is no regulation, how many more people will be searching for white truffles than the socially optimal number?
