Consider an economy that consists of a union and non-union sector. The labour demand in each sector is given by: E=600-25W The total supply of labour is 700 workers, and it does not depend upon the wage. Labour and jobs are homogeneous in both sectors. What is the market-clearing wage if both sectors are competitive? How many workers are employed in both sectors? Suppose a monopoly union sets the wage at the union sector at £12. How many workers will be employed in the union and nonunion sectors? What wage will the workers in nonunion sector receive? What is the union wage gap in part (b)? What would the union wage effect be if one controlled for the spillover effect?
Q. 12-15. Consider the standard job search model as described in the text. (a) Why are the asking wage and expected unemployment duration positively related? (b) Can the standard job search model explain why unemployment duration is longer, on average, for secondary workers when compared to primary workers? Discuss. (c) In the context of the standard search model, explain how the economy-wide average asking wage and unemployment duration are affected by an expanded underground (cash) economy. What is the effect on the equilibrium unemployment rate? BOOK: Labor Economics, 8th Edition, by George Borjas, published by McGraw-Hill. Chapter 12
A3 in the McCall partial equilibrium model, if unemployed individual can only live for 10 periods. In each period, she will receive $400 if unemployed. The offered wage is uniformly distributed in the range of [500,1000] 1.what will the reservation wage be in the period 9 if the discount rate is 0.9? 2.what will the reservation wage be in the period 8 if the discount rate is 0.9?
Q.2 You are discussing the labour discipline model with your friend. All else equal, which of the following is/are true about the wage-setting curve? Statement 1: A monitoring device to detect shirking shifts the wage-setting curve down. Statement 2: A decrease in unemployment benefits shifts the wage-setting curve up. Statement 3: In a country where the stigma attached to unemployment is high, the wage-setting curve would be lower. A. None of the statements are true. B. Statements 2 and 3 are true. C. All the statements are true. D. Only Statement 2 is true. E. Statements 1 and 3 are true.
Consider an economy in which there are initially no labour unions and no other constraints on wages. When labour unions are introduced, they successfully bargain collective agreements in about half of firms in the economy. a. Illustrate the effect of these unions on wages and employment in the union sector and the non-union sector and explain with reference to carefully labeled diagrams. b. Do unions create or increase unemployment in this example? Explain with reference to your diagrams. c. Is the change in net employment greater than, equal to, or less than the loss of jobs in the union sector? Explain with reference to carefully labeled diagrams.

Suppose a firm’s technology requires it to hire 100 workers regardless of the wage level. The firm, however, has found that worker productivity is greatly affected by its wage. The historical relationship between the wage level and the firm’s output is given byWage Rate Units of Output$ 8.00 65$10.00 80$11.25 90$12.00 97$12.50 102What wage level should a profit-maximizing firm choose? What happens to the efficiency wage if there is an increase in the demand for the firm’s output?
Consider a three-period model. Suppose w1 = 5, w2 = 7 and w3 = 6. Let r = 0.1. 1. Calculate the time discount factor. 2. What is flow utility in the second period? 3. Calculate continuation value of the first period. 4. Calculate the present discounted value of entire labor income streams.
Q49 In order to maximize profits, a firm needs to determine the quantity of each factor that it will employ, which is dictated by price as well as productivity of the factor. Assume farmer in the Ottawa area named Justin Trudeau has fixed amounts of land and capital finds that total product is 24 for the first worker hired, 32 when two workers are hired, 37 when three are hired, and 40 when four are hired. The farmer's product sells for $3 per unit, and the wage rate is $13 per worker. The marginal revenue product of the second worker is Multiple Choice $9 $15 $24 $8 $14.
Suppose the demand curve for union labor is given by the equation: L = 450 − 3W.Suppose the current wage is $20. Now suppose the union is successful in raising the wage of its members to $28. At the same time, it is able to shift the demand for labor out to: L = 510 − 3W. a. What was the original employment level? What is the new employment level? b. Has the higher wage negotiated by the union reduced the employment opportunities of its members? If so, by how much? c. Who has benefitted and who has lost as a result of this negotiation. Be specific and complete.
Discuss and show the impact of this policy on the rural traditional wage, the rural labour force, and the urban sector unemployment. Can we expect the urban sector wage to equal to the traditional sector wage after the markets equilibrate through migration?
