-
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 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

Exercise 4. Labor Supply with non-labor income (Cobb-Douglas) Each day you are endowed with 24 hours (T=24) that you can spend either in leisure (l) or working (L). For hour of labor you receive an hourly wage, w, but you also have non-labor income, m. Your consumption, c, is constrained by your labor and non-labor income: c= m +wL. You value consumption and leisure according to the following utility: u =cl2. a) What is your labor supply, as a function...

1. Janet's utility depends on consumption c and leisure l. She earns a wage equal to w per hour, has an investment income equal to M(greater than or equal to) 0 and needs to sleep at least 8 hours a night. Normalize the price of consumption goods at $1. (i) Draw her indifference curves between hours of leisure and consumption, her budget line and her equilibrium choice of c and l. What is the slope of the budget line and...

5. Elasticity of labor supply is defined as: Percentage change in quantity of labor supplied Percentage change in wage rate Assume that in Illinois 1,000,000 hours of labor are supplied at the current minimum wage. Then the minimum wage rises 20%, from $8.25/hr. to $9.90/hr. How many more hours of labor will workers be willing to supply at the new minimum wage if elasticity of labor supply is 0.55?
