Ross Eisenbrey and Lawrence Mishel in " Uber business model does not justify a new 'independent worker' category" argue all but one of the following. Which one? O It is clearly possible for Uber work hours to be measurable for the establishment of a minimum wage. In fact, since mid-2014, Uber has had a "guaranteed pay" system that functions like a minimum wage and that demonstrates the company's ability to apply the FLSA in its work relationship with drivers. O Both Lyft and Uber track their drivers' work hours and readily identify drivers' hours in many public statements. O If an Uber or Lyft driver turns off her app, her personal time is nonetheless compensable under the independent worker proposal of Harris and Krueger. It would not be under current law. O Uber drivers cannot keep their app on and monitoring potential riders and refuse to accept rides withou incurring serious consequences, including being deactivated (i.e., fired) for having too low an "acceptanc rate."

Exercise 15.2 and Exercise 15.3 asked you to describe the labor-leisure tradeoff for Jonathon. Since, in the first example, there is no monetary incentive for Jonathon to work, explain why he may choose to work anyway. Explain what the opportunity costs of working and not working might be for Jonathon in each example. Using your tables and graphs from Exercise 15.2 and Exercise 15.3, analyze how the government welfare system affects Jonathans incentive to work.
When Alan Greenspan (an economist who wouldlater chair the Federal Reserve) ran a consulting firmin the 1960s, he primarily hired female economists. Heonce told the New York Times, “I always valued menand women equally, and I found that because othersdid not, good women economists were cheaper thanmen.” Is Greenspan’s behavior profit-maximizing? Isit admirable or despicable? If more employers werelike Greenspan, what would happen to the wagedifferential between men and women? Why mightother economic consulting firms at the time not havefollowed Greenspan’s business strategy?

does imposing a living wage have the same outcome as a minimum wage?
draw a graph with this difinitions To visualize the impact of the minimum wage on the labor market, I have created an original graph (see below). This graph depicts a hypothetical labor market before and after an increase in the minimum wage. [Please insert your original graph here.] In the graph, the x-axis represents the quantity of labor, and the y-axis represents the wage rate. The blue curve (labeled "Initial Equilibrium") represents the initial labor market equilibrium, where the supply of labor (S) intersects with the demand for labor (D) at point A, determining the initial wage rate and employment level. The red curve (labeled "After Minimum Wage Increase") illustrates the impact of a minimum wage hike. When the government imposes a higher minimum wage, it acts as a price floor (represented by the horizontal line). This results in a new equilibrium at point B, where the wage rate is higher, but employment is lower compared to the initial equilibrium.
On December 30, 1974, the hypothetical country Alpha decided to introduce a minimum wage policy. Cities with ID numbers 11, 23, 45, 57, 60, and 61 were randomly chosen to implement this minimum wage policy. The remaining cities in country Alpha did not adopt a minimum wage policy. You are asked to empirically and theoretically evaluate the impact of the introduction of the minimum wage in country Alpha on the labour market outcomes. Now suppose that there is mobility in the labour market in country Alpha and we are in the pre-minimum wage period. Country Alpha receives migrants from country Beta and these migrants are positively selected. a) Suppose country Alpha decides to adopt a welfare program to increase the minimum income of its workers. This minimum income is granted to all native workers, immigrant workers, and the new incoming immigrants. Using the Roy model, and ignoring how the program is funded, with the aid of a diagram, discuss how the welfare program changes the…

On page 104 of the third (2019) edition of Naked Economics by Charles Wheelan, Wheelan discusses the possible outcomes of minimum wage. Based on what Wheelan has written and the conversations about minimum wage in the class, which of the below statements is the LEAST likely to be correct if the minimum wage (a price floor) is placed well above the market clearing (equilibrium) wage? Group of answer choices The higher the minimum wage is set above the market clearing or equilibrium rate the more likely it is benefit all workers, as everyone's wages will have increased, and employers will not lay off workers because of the higher wages. The higher minimum wage will benefit those who continue to have a job at the higher wage, but will hurt those who are laid off because employers will hire fewer workers at the higher wage rate. In an era of global production and a global labor pool in which wages in the U.S. are higher than the wages paid to workers in countries such as Mexico, the…
