In the city of Growville, the equilibrium employment is 100,000 workers, and the equilibrium wage is $100 per day. The elasticity of demand for labor is 1.0 (in absolute value) and the elasticity of supply of labor is 5.0. The employment multiplier is 2.0. Suppose the demand for labor used in the production of exports increases by 6,000 jobs. a. Use a supply-demand graph of the urban labor market to show the effects of the increase in the demand for labor. b. The equilibrium wage [increases, decreases] by percent (to ) computed as. . . . c. The equilibrium employment [increases, decreases] by percent (to workers), computed as. . .
The government has introduced an excise duty of 10 percent on mealie meal. This essentially means the price of mealie meal, an essential item in most households, has increased by 10 percent. As the chief economist responsible for managing a social protection programme, you have been asked to make a proposal on how you can minimise the adverse effect of the excise duty on low income households. Using your knowledge of compensating or equivalent variation, show how you would ensure that these households are protected from such a measure. Would Lump sum taxes be better than unit (ad valorem or percentage) taxes in this context?
A conservative critic of government programs has written Governments know A conservative critic of government programs has written, “Governments know how to do one thing well. They know how to create shortages and surpluses.” Explain this quotation using examples like the minimum wage or interest-rate ceilings. Show graphically that if the demand for unskilled workers is price-elastic, a minimum wage will decrease the total earnings (wage times quantity demanded of labor) of unskilled workers.

After the OPEC oil embargo in the 1970s, price controls were placed on gas markets that did not allow price to rise to the market clearing level. Gas shortages resulted as did black markets. Use the analysis of price controls to discuss whether price controls likely hurt or helped consumers and the economy. Consider the following: Who is helped and harmed by price ceilings? Had gas prices been allowed to increase sharply, would we have made changes in our economy faster? At what cost? How does the elasticity of demand and supply impact the degree to which price and quantity would change in the gasoline market?
*Was the gas shortage after Hurricane Sandy in 2012 primarily limited to an issue of supply, or demand, or both? *Use the supply or demand or both graphs to justify your answer.

Illustrate each of these proposed policies in a supply-demand diagram of the gun market. a)a tax on gun buyers b)a tax on gun seller c)a price floor on guns I need a graph for each other, and explanation to see how economics works.
Consider the effects of a natural disaster like hurricane Katrina on a metropolitan economy. In the initial (prehurricane) equilibrium, total employment in the metropolitan area is 500,000 workers and the daily wage is $100. The price elasticity of supply of labor is 4.0 and the price elasticity of demand for labor is −1.0. Suppose the hurricane reduces labor supply (a horizontal shift of the supply curve) by 100,000 workers. a. Use a supply-demand graph of the urban labor market to show the effects of the hurricane. b. The equilibrium wage [increases, decreases] by percent (to $ ) computed as. . . . c. The equilibrium employment [increases, decreases] by percent (to workers), computed as. . . . d. The reduction in the equilibrium employment is [greater, less] than the initial decrease in labor supply because. .
Consider the following policies, each of which is aimed at reducing violent crime by reducing the use of guns. Illustrate the effect of each of these proposed policies in a demand and supply diagram of the gun market. For each question, show the price paid by consumers, the price received by producers, and the quantity of guns sold. What is the difference between the price paid by consumers and the price received by producers? Has the number of guns sold increased or decreased? a. A tax on gun buyers b. A tax on gun sellers c. A binding price floor on guns d. A tax on gun ammunition
Assume that as the economy booms, the demand for business and consumer loans rises significantly, while the supply of funds and loans remains constant. As a result, the market interest rate for business and consumer loans rises to 20% per year. The government implements a ceiling on interest rates of 15% a year and as a result... Group of answer choices The quantity demanded of business and consumer loans rises, while the quantity supplied falls and a surplus occurs A greater number of business and consumer loans are made at a lower interest rate than previously. The demand of business and consumer loans rises, while the supply falls and a shortage occurs The quantity demanded of business and consumer loans rises, while the quantity supplied falls and a shortage occurs
The government decides to regulate the labor market. Assume the demand for labor is inelastic, while the supply of labor is elastic.a) On a graph, show the equilibrium wage and the employment level. Make sure you label the axes and the curves.b) The government decides to introduce minimum wage: now it’s illegal to offer wage below the minimum wage level. On a graph, show how the market will be affected if the minimum wage is set to be above the equilibrium wage. What wage will be offered on the market? What will happen to the employment level? What negative consequences will this government intervention have?c) Forget about part (b). The government decides to introduce a tax on every worker. On a new graph, without showing any shifts of the curves, show the new wage you’d observethe firms to pay and the wage you’d observe households to receive. Comment on the tax incidence: who will bear most of the burden of the tax? Problem 3: Consumer surplus and producer surplusOn the market for…
