Economic theory states that a wage set about the equilibrium will create a surplus of labor. Are unions creating a surplus of labor?
The table shows levels of employment (Labor), the marginal product of each of those levels, and a monopoly's marginal revenue. What is the monopoly's marginal revenue product at each level of employment? If the monopoly operates in a perfectly competitive labor market where the going market wage is $20, what is the firm's profit maximizing level of employment?
The following graph depicts a hypothetical labor market under monopsony. WAGE RATE (dollars per hour) 37 34 Marginal Factor Cost 31 28 Labor Supply 25 22 19 16 13 0 2 3 Labor Demand 5 QUANTITY OF LABOR (Workers per hour) Suppose that a minimum wage of $19 per hour is instated in this labor market. At a wage rate of $19 per hours, the quantity of labor supplied is ? the quantity of labor demanded.
Consider the following diagram representing the labor market in a given Country, with foreigners willing to supply labor at $100'000. Suppose that the government allows 85'000 foreign workers to enter the country. What happens to the equilibrium wage (in the short run)? W S 120'000 100'000 30'000 O It will be greater than 120'000 It will be less than 100'000 O It will be equal to 100'000 O It will be greater than 100'000 70'000 D
D The following graph gives the labor market for laboratory aides in the imaginary country of Sophos. The equilibrium hourly wage is $10, and the equilibrium number of laboratory aides is 250. Suppose the federal government of Sophos has decided to institute an hourly payroll tax of $4 on laboratory aides and wants to determine whether the tax should be levied on the workers, the employers, or both (in such a way that half the tax is collected from each party). Use the graph input tool to evaluate these three proposals. Entering a number into the Tax Levied on Employers field (initially set at zero dollars per hour) shifts the demand curve down by the amount you enter, and entering a number into the Tax Levied on Workers field (initially set at zero dollars per hour) shifts the supply curve up by the amount you enter. To determine the before-tax wage for each tax proposal, adjust the amount in the Wage field until the quantity of labor supplied equals the quantity of labor demanded.…
On a clearly labeled graph, show what happens to wages paid and employment if the governmentimposes a payroll tax on a monopsonist? Should the change in wages paid and employment be larger for a monopsonistic labor market or a perfectly competitive one? Explain your answer
Table 15.6 shows the quantity demanded and supplied in the labor market for driving city buses in the town of Unionville, where all the bus drivers belong to a union. a. What would the equilibrium wage and quantity be in this market if no union existed? b. Assume that the union has enough negotiating power to raise the wage to $4 per hour higher than it would otherwise be. Is there now excess demand or excess supply of labor?
What would happen if the labour market is dominated by a monopsonist, and the government sets a minimum wage that is above the competitive wage? please answer with graphs
On a clearly labeled graph, show what happens to wages paid and employment if the government imposes a payroll tax on a monopsonist? Should the change in wages paid and employment be larger for a monopsonistic labor market or a perfectly competitive one? Explain your answer. Don't copy paste
he table below shows the quantity demanded and supplied in the labor market for economics professors at the l'MaStateUniversity, where all the professors belong to a union. If the union has enough negotiating power to raise the annual salary by $20,000 more than a non- unionized university would be willing to pay, then there will be excess of labor of economics professors.
Economics Suppose that Congress passes a law requiring employers to provide employees some benefit (such as healthcare) that raises the cost of an employee by $3 per hour. Assume that firms were not providing such benefits prior to the legislation. On the following graph, use the green line (triangle symbel) to show the effect this employer mandate has on the demand for labor. Demand Supply 20 18 New Demand 10 14 12 New Supply 10 Equilibrium Before Law Equilibrium After Law 0 1 2 5 10 Quantity of Labor (Thousands) Suppose employees place a value on this benefit exactly equal to its cost. On the preceding graph, use the purple line (diamond symbol) to show the effect this employer mandate has on the supply of labor. Suppose the wage is free to balance supply and demand. Use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the eauilibrium wage and level of employment before this law, and use the grey point (star symbol) to indicate the equilibrium wage and level of employment after this law is…
Answer each of the following questions regarding the market for labor in the fast-food industry. a. If wages in the retail industry increase (assume that the retail industry requires similar skills as the fast-food industry), the point representing the equilibrium wage and quantity of workers will move down and to the left along the market supply curve for labor. the market supply curve for labor will shift to the right. the market supply curve for labor will shift to the left. the point representing the equilibrium wage and quantity of workers will move up and to the right along the market supply curve for labor. b. If new legislation limits the number of hours that workers under the age of 18 can work each week, the market supply curve for labor will shift to the left. the market supply curve for labor will shift to the right. the point representing the equilibrium wage and quantity of workers will move up and to the right along the market supply curve for labor. the point…
