Consider a monoposnistic labor market where one firm faces an upward sloping supply curve w = 8 + 0.2E and its demand for labor is given by VMPe = 50 - 0.3E. Thus it’s marginal cost of hiring is MCe = 8 + 0.4E. What level of E and w does the firm pick? What is worker and firm surplus? How does these values change if a minimum wage of $30 is instituted?

In a competitive labor market, demand for workers is QD 20,000 100W, and supply is Qs 4,000 + 1,900W, where Q is the quantity of workers employed and W is the hourly wage. a) What is the initial equilibrium wage and employment level? b) Suppose that the government decides that $9 per hour is the minimum allowable wage in any market. What would the new employment level be? c) What would happen to total payments to labor? d) Would there...

Suppose labor demand in the United States is w = 24 − 0.1E, where E is the number of workers in millions and w is the hourly wage. There are 120 million domestic U.S. low-skilled workers who supply labor inelastically. If the U.S. opened its borders to immigration, 20 million low-skill immigrants would enter the U.S. and supply labor inelastically. (a) What is the market-clearing wage if immigration is not allowed? (b) What is the market-clearing wage with open borders,...
