Answer to Question 1

The policy changes should encourage technological innovation and capital formation because these are the key engines of growth within the neoclassical growth theory. Hence, the government should encourage research and development, possibly by directly funding research and development. In addition, the government should support policies that increase saving, because an increase in saving will lead to increased investment and hence new capital, some of which will have the new technologies embodied in it.

Answer to Question 2

Employers pay higher wages to their employees to ensure high productivity and good morale. If the company lowered the wages of its workers, workers may have started shirking because there exists moral hazard in the labor market. This would have resulted in lower productivity and lower income for the company.
