Specific skills are not portable and only useful at the incumbent firm. Once a worker leaves a firm, any specific training that they have acquired cannot be transferred to a new role.

The firm are not required to increase the wage of a worker who acquires specific skills. Therefore, the firm is more likely to pay for specific skills training.

Suppose a firm the firm's initial costs when hiring a worker include hiring and training costs of $50. The wage rate for each period of employment is Wt=$100 (the same for all periods), and the value marginal product of a worker is also the same in every period, VMPt=VMP (a constant). Assume the interest rate is zero (the firm has no discounting factor over time). A. Write out this firm's profit maximizing employment rule for two periods. How productive must...

Please be specific in your answers. Thanks a lot! Intermediate macroeconomic theory I (ECON303) Tutorial #3: The firm's problem Paul owns a firm that produces output (Y) with capital (K) and labour (N) accord- ing Y = zk" N i n which z is total factor productivity. Say that z = 100, that K = 1. and that a = 0.5. Each worker supplies one unit of labour. Each unit of labour is paid the wage rate w. The price...
