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?
Suppose the wage decreases. What effect will this have on a worker's labor supply? The substitution effect of a wage decrease causes the worker to supply a smaller quantity of labor. The income effect of a wage decrease causes the worker to supply a larger quantity of labor If the substitution effect is bigger than the income effect, then the supply curve will slope upward
