Problem #4: Own-price elasticity Suppose the market labor demand curve is given by LD 20- (1/2)W and the market labor supply curve is given by LS-2W 1. Graph the labor demand curve and the labor supply curve on the same graph (with L on the horizontal axis and W on the vertical axis, as we have done in class). 2. Determine the equilibrium employment (L") and wage (W") in this market. Now suppose the government implements a minimum wage (WM)...

5. Suppose the supply curve of physicists is given by w = 10 +5E, while the demand curve is given by w= 50 - 3E. a) Calculate the equilibrium wage and employment level. Calculate the labour demand elasticity at the equilibrium. Suppose now that the demand for physicists increases to w= 70 - 3E. What is the new equilibrium wage and employment level? b) Assume the market is subject to cobwebs. Draw a graph to illustrate the wage and employment...

2. Now, go back to the original supply and demand equations: Ed 60 2*w Es =-10+5"w Redraw these on a new graph, as you did in the above question Suppose that a minimum wage of S12/hr is now imposed. a) What is the quantity demanded at this new wage? What is the quantity supplied? How many workers are hired? How many jobs are lost? b) Show all of the above on your graph. Once again, with the minimum wage in...

The market for waiters is defined by the following demand and supply curves: w = 20 − 0.2ED (Demand) w = 13 + 0.1ES (Supply) a) Graph the demand and supply curves. Make sure the wage w is on the y-axis and employment E is on the x-axis. On the graph, indicate where the equilibrium wage and employment level would be by denoting them w∗ and E∗, respectively. b) Solve for equilibrium wage and employment. Now, suppose the industry buys...
