The United States is increasingly outsourcing jobs to India which means that work is done in India rather than in the United States.
For example, the Indian firm Tata Consultancy Services, which provides information-technology services, increased its work force by 70,000 workers in 2010 and expected to add 60,000 more in 2011 ("Outsourcing Firm Hiring 60,000 Workers in India," San Francisco
Chronicle,
June 16, 2011). As a result of increased outsourcing, wages of some groups of Indian skilled workers have increased substantially over the years. Use a supply-and-demand diagram to explain this outcome.
Consider the labor market for India illustrated in the figure to the right.
1.) Using the line drawing tool, graph a new labor demand curve. Label this curve 'D^2.'
2.) Using the point drawing tool, indicate the new market equilibrium wage and employment level. Label this point 'e^2.'
Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects.

The graph on the right shows a labor market in equilibrium. Using the graph, demonstrate the impact of a decrease in the wage rate to $6 per hour. Assume all other factors in the economy are constant. Labor supply curve 1.) Using either the line drawing tool or the arrow drawing tool, illustrate the impact on labor demand of a decrease in the wage rate to $6 per hour. (Use the line drawing tool to illustrate a shift in demand...
Suppose that there is an increase in the capital stock. 1.) Using the line drawing tool, show the effect of this change on the labor market. Properly label your new line. 2.) Using the point drawing tool, identify the new equilibrium real wage and employment. Label this point 'F' Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects. NS 0 ND
The graph on the right shows a labor supply and labor demand curve. Illustrate the impact of an efficiency wage that pushes the wage to $9 per hour. 1.) Using the point drawing tool, place a point on the graph that illustrates the market-clearing wage and quantity of labor. Label your point Market clearing.' 2.) Using the point drawing tool, place a point on the graph that illustrates the quantity of labor demanded under an efficiency wage that results in...
The graph on the right shows the demand for and supply of labor in a market with an equilibrium wage rate of $9 per hour. Labor supply Show the impact on the graph if a minimum wage of $11 per hour is enacted. 1.) Using the point drawing tool, plot the point that illustrates the quantity of labor demanded when the minimum wage is set at $11 per hour. Label your point 'A.' 2.) Using the point drawing tool, plot...
The 9/11 terrorist attacks caused the us. arine travel demand curve to shift left by an estimated 30% (no and Lee, 2005). Use a supply-and-demand diagram to show the likely effect on price and quantity (assuming that the market is competitive). Consider the market for airline travel lustrated in the figure to the right 1.) Using the line drawing tool, graph a new airline travel demand curve. Label this curve D2 2.) Using the point drawing tool, indicate the new...

Suppose that under a new law all businesses must pay a tax equal to 6% of their sales revenue. Assume that this tax is not passed on to consumers. Instead, consumers pay the same prices after the tax is imposed as they did before. 1.) Use the line drawing tool to show the effect of this change on the labor market. Properly label your new line. NS 2.) Use the point drawing tool to identify the new equilibrium real wage...
Consider the market for snow skiing illustrated in the graph to the right. Suppose that on the weekend, demand is D. However, on weekdays, demand becomes D2 If a snow ski resort engages in peak-load pricing, then what prices should it charge? 1.) Using the point drawing tool, identify the profit-maximizing price and quantity on weekends and label it "Weekends'. $/0 2.) Using the point drawing tool, identify the profit-maximizing price and quantity for weekdays and label it 'Weekdays! 3.)...
