Yes because the substitution effect causes workers to supply a larger quantity of labor. O C. Only if the substitution effect is larger than the income effect. O D. Yes because the substitution and income effects both cause workers to supply a larger quantity of labor. O E. No because purchasing power has increased and leisure is...

If the wage elasticity of labor supply is negative, what can we say about the slope of the labor supply curve and the relative sizes of the income and substitution effects? Is leisure a normal or inferior good in this case? Will a fall in the tax rate on earnings increase or decrease tax revenues?

1. Consider how a decrease in wage will change a workers labor supply. Explain how income and substitution effect will change this workers choice of consumption and leisure. Make two clearly labeled diagrams showing how reducing a worker's wage affects the hours s/he is willing to work: one in which the income effect dominates, and the other in which the substitution effect dominates.

2. Suppose a labor market where demand and supply for labor are given by: Ld = 1;000 25w Ls = 100+20w where w is the wage rate. Suppose that the government decides that everyone who works ought to exercise. They are considering two ways to do this, either through a payroll tax on workers of $3 per hour per worker which would then be used to provide workers with free health club memberships or through mandating provision of access to...

If wages increase, will a worker supply more labor? O A. Only if the effect of the increase in purchasing power is larger than that of the opportunity cost of leisure increasing. OB. Yes because the opportunity cost of leisure is higher. O C. Only if the effect of the opportunity cost of leisure increasing is larger than that of the increase in purchasing power. O D. Yes because the substitution and income effects both cause workers to supply a...
