In order to see how the labor market works as a whole, we need to add up all the:
Multiple Choice
-
supply curves of individual workers and the demand curves of individual firms to find market level supply and demand.
-
observed equilibrium wages across all individual markets and take the weighted average.
-
demand curves of individual workers and the supply curves of individual firms to find market level demand and supply.
-
None of these statements is true.
Homework Answers
Answer
Option 1
supply curves of individual workers and the demand curves of individual firms to find market-level supply and demand
the market demand is a sum of all the demand from all the firms and the market supply is a sum of all the individual supply of labor and we need to look at the Qd=Qs of the market from time to time to observe how it changes.

Problem 3 - Labor Market & Taxes
PROBLEM 3: LABOR MARKET AND TAXES (20 POINTS) Suppose a worker has preferences over consumption and leisure that can be repre- sented by the following utility function: U = ln (C) + In (1) There are 16 hours per day available for leisure (1) and labor (L) (the remaining 8 hours are for sleeping). The hourly wage is w, and assume that the price of each unit of consumption is $1. The only...

Consider the market for labor depicted by the demand and supply curves that follow. Use the calculator to help you answer the following questions. You will not be graded on any changes you make to the calculator. Complete the following table with the quantity of labor supplied and demanded if the wage is set at $15.00. Then indicate whether this wage will result in a shortage or a surplus. Hint: Be sure to pay attention to the units used on the graph and...

Labour Markets: Consider a hypothetical market for low-skilled labour. For simplicity, assume the short-run supply of workers is given by the equation Qs = 100 + 10w, where Qs is the quantity supplied and w is the wage. The demand curve is given by Qd = 250 − 5w, whereQd is the quantity demanded. Provide some intuition as to why the elasticities are inelastic. Supposethegovernmentweretoimplementaminimumwage(apricefloor)thatincreased the wage by 50%. Using your calculated elasticities, determine the response of workers and firms....

Assume that workers and firms behave as in the standard model we described in class. The government announces the following policy reform: (i) the labor income tax increases immediately; (ii) all proceeds will be invested in a much required infrastructure project that will permanently raise Total Factor Productivity (A) starting next period; (iii) the tax increase is calculated in a way that will keep workers’ PVLR unchanged (i.e the tax reform does not imply an income effect on labor supply)....

Question 13 1pts Suppose that the labor market for low skill jobs in California is close to a competitive labor market. Many of low skill labor are from Mexico and Central America. Some politicians are considering restricting immigration from these countries. This would cause a decrease in the supply of labor leading to an increase in the equilibrium wage and an increase in the equilibrium quantity of labor employed. a decrease in the supply of labor leading to an increase...
