Suppose that immigration policies in the United States are changed so that it is more difficult for low-skilled immigrants to live and work in this country. A likely impact of this policy is that
a Wages for low-skilled workers in the US will rise
b More immigrants will come to the United States
c Wages for low-skilled workers in the US will fall
Homework Answers

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,...

After years of rapid growth, illegal immigration into the United States has declined, perhaps owing to the recession and increased border enforcement by the United States (Los Angeles Times, September 1, 2010). While its share has declined, California still accounts for 29% of the nation’s estimated 11.9 million undocumented immigrants. a. In a sample of 40 illegal immigrants, what is the probability that more than 23% live in California? (Round answer to 4 decimal places.) b. In a sample of...

Outsourcing, immigration, and the gains of the super-rich are the most common reasons for the income inequality in America. Tyler Cowen disagrees: The problem is largely the lack of education. To date, outsourcing is not yet common enough to have much effect. Immigration doesn't account for much of the change in the wages paid to unskilled workers since 1950. Advances in technology raises the incomes of highly skilled workers. Inequality will be reduced if more people undertake education. Immigrants to the United States include...

Consider the following model of the labor market in the United States. Suppose that the labor market consists of two parts, a market for skilled workers and the market for unskilled workers, with different demand and supply curves for each as given below. The initial wage for skilled workers is $20 per hour; the initial wage for unskilled workers is $7 per hour. a. Draw the demand and supply curves for the two markets so that they intersect at the...

8. Suppose that employers in the United States have discriminatory preferences against Mexican immigrants. All else equal, as the number of discriminatory firms decrease over time, the theory of preference-based discrimination would predict that: (A The relative wages of Mexican immigrants would increase.

The change in the relative wage of Mexican immigrants would depend on whether Mexican immigrants are...

Suppose that, in the United States, the inflation rate is at 3.2 percent (the target inflation rate is 2 percent).

Given the circumstances, the countercyclical monetary policy adopted by the Federal Reserve is likely to result in a(n) ▼ a. increase in federal funds rate b. decrease ins Reserve requirement c. expansion of access to credit Would countercyclical policy still be...
