This individual decreases his labor hours due to a fall in wage rates. Decompose this into substitution and income effect.
Homework Answers
When wage rate falls, an individual needs to work more hours to reach a particular income level. Therefore, the individual needs to work more and increases the hours worked. This is the income effect.
When wage falls, the opportunity cost of leisure falls and the individual takes more leisure hours. This effect is called substitution effect.
In this case, substitution effect dominates and this is the reason falling wage leads to less hours worked.

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

Individual X and Y work 10 and 6 hours a day, respectively. Their hourly wage is $8 per hour. If their wage goes up to $10 per hour, individual X and Y adjust their hours of work as 12 and 5 hours a day, respectively. (Assume that both individuals faces the same 16 hours constraint in a day) (a) (5 points) What can you tell about their indifference curves? (e.g flat or steep) Explain briefly what your answer implies about...

The supply curve for labor may shift to the left due to A. an increase in wealth. B. an increase in the wage rate due to the income effect. C. a decrease in the wage rate due to the income effect. D. an increase in the wage rate due to the substitution effect. E. a decrease in the wage rate due to the substitution effect.

4. Consider a wage increase (as offered to an individual). What does the income effect suggest about the individual's reaction to this wage increase? What does the substitution effect suggest about the individual's reaction o the same change in behavior? Explain. How do these effects relate to the possibility of a backward-bending individual labor supply curve? Are there examples from sports of such a curve? to this wage increase? Do these effects lead

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.

Suppose an individual has 40 hours to work. Suppose also the individual has a net wealth outside the labor market of 100$. Suppose the wage rate is equal to 20 $ per hour. Graph the budget constraint. Suppose the marginal rate of substitution between consumption (C) and leisure (l) is equal to h−l 100c .

(6) Geo's utility function is described as LeY, where Le is hours of leisure per day, and Y is disposable income per day. Geo is employed in a job with a wage of $20 per hour and has 10 hours per day that he can spend in either working or leisure. His income from working is his only source of disposable income. He does not receive any non-wage income Geo can work as many hours as he chooses, up to...
