According to the Malthusian model, the fall in the population due to the bubonic plague would have led to an increase in the average productivity of workers, causing the observed rise in the real wage post-plague. O b. The doubling and halving of the real wage index over 250 years from around 1350 cannot be explained by the Malthusian model. O C. The fall in the unskilled workers' share of total output in the 17th and. 18th centuries was due to the fall in their average product of labour. O d. In the Malthusian model, the rise in real wages from 1800 onwards, at the same time as the rise in population, could be explained by continuous technological improvement.
