The following are correct statements about the Labor Market model, EXCEPT: Question 14 options: The Demand for labor is mainly determined by the Marginal Productivity of Workers. The Supply of Labor is mainly determined by the Opportunity Cost for Work. An increase in Labor Productivity will likely lead to higher wages but less total labor demand. In equilibrium, the market for labor will attain zero unemployment.
Taste shocks in the additive Ramsey model. Consider an economy with infinitely lived individuals. There is no population growth, and the population size is normalized to one. Individuals live forever and maximize at time t:
The labor market model (II): Now we add some parameters to the labor market model: labor supply: Ls = × w + labor demand: Ld = - w The parameters in this setup are , , and . (Notice that parameters are denoted with an overbar, a convention we will maintain throughout the book.) The parameter represents the number of hours workers would supply to the market even if the wage were zero; it therefore reflects the inherent amount of time people like to work. The parameter , in contrast, reflects the amount of labor the firm would like to hire if the wage were zero. It might be thought of as some inherent capacity of the firm (perhaps because the firm owns a given amount of land and capital that cannot be altered). (a) What is the economic interpretation of ? (b) What are the endogenous variables in this model? (c) Solve for the equilibrium of the labor market. That is, solve for the endogenous variables as a function of the parameters of…
Describe the neoclassical model of labor -leisure choice model by emphasizing the objective function, constraint and optimality conditions?
Consider the following model of a competitive labour market where both firms and workers have perfect foresight and symmetric information about the price level (that is, no misperceptions). Firms' technology is given by the production function y = a N ½ (production function) where a is a positive constant representing total productivity, N is employment and the elasticity of production to employed labour is 1/2. The government requires firms to pay pension contributions to the fiscal authority: the contribution is a small fraction x of the wage paid to each employed worker. Therefore, firms profits equal P y - W N - x W N and they are maximized taking the price level P, the nominal wage W, and the pension contribution rate x as given. Labour supply is given by: W = P b N where b is a positive constant. Answer all the following questions. a) Derive the labour demand schedule by solving the profit maximization problem of firms.
Do the migration trends, unemployment trends and rural-urban income ratio trends behave in the way you would expect based on the Harris-Todaro model? Explain.
In the Heckscher-Ohlin model, modelling supply chains A is impossible. B can invalidate the factor price equalisation result. C allows countries to specialise in producing different intermediate goods D will imply that wages for skilled labour move in opposite directions in countries with relative abundance of skilled labour and countries with relative scarcity of skilled labour.
