In a competitive system , firm will begin to increase prices and this will start a process of inflation.
( Reason--- so long as wage setting curve is below the price serting curve, firms can not raise prices as workers have less bargaining power but after the wage setting curve getting higher the price setting curve, the firms can increase prices because workers now can afford and capable to bargain more, this increase in prices will finally lead to inflation.)

The imposition of a minimum wage on a competitive labor market will likely create additional employment opportunities because some low-skilled workers will now see their wage increase. O increase unemployment of high-skilled workers as firms substitute high-skilled labor for low-skilled labor. create unemployment as some people enter the labor market while some firms reduce the quantity of labor they are willing to employ due to the increased wage. O lower the wages of workers earning more than the minimum wage.

Discuss the following statements: a . The Phillips curve implies that when unemployment is high, inflation is low, and vice versa . Therefore, we may experience either high inflation or high unemployment, but we will never experience both together. b. As long as we do not mind having high inflation, we can achieve as low a level of unemployment as we want. All we have to do is increase the demand for goods and services by using, for example, expansionary...

It is also known as excess supply in the labor market Some workers are coerced to work Some unemployment is necessary, which means the employer can motivate workers to provide effort on the job. the wage-setting curve is always to the left of the labor supply curve Question 9 Profit-maximizing condition for the firm occurs when marginal rate of substitution equals marginal rate of transformation There is no...

Suppose that workers and firms perfectly forecast inflation, so that the real wage remains unchanged as the price level rises over time. Prices and wages rise at the same rate, which implies that the real wage stays constant. The following graph shows the aggregate demand curve (AD) in an economy in long-run equilibrium. Assume the natural rate of unemployment is 6%, and potential output is $50 trillion. Use the orange points (square symbol) to draw the aggregate supply curve in...
