Let market demand for domestic workers be represented by Ed = 1000 - 50w where Ed is domestic labor demanded and w is the hourly wage. Suppose the domestic labor supply is represented by Es = 115w - 821. Now suppose that 106 immigrants that are perfect substitutes for native workers enter the market and their labor supply is perfectly inelastic. What is the equilibrium wage for all workers in this market after the immigrants enter?
Assume a monopsony uses only one factor, labor, L, to produce a final good, Q, which it sells in a competitive market at the price, p = 1. The inverse supply curve for labor is w = 20 + 2L. If the monopsony's labor demand curve is w = 70 - L, how many units of labor does it hire and at what wage? What value does the monopsony place on the last worker hired? How does the monopsony equilibrium %3D compare to the competitive equilibrium?
Question No. 2 If the demand and supply of labor in the city of Binar is stated as follows:DL = 10,000 – ½ W, where DL is the demand for labor per day (in thousand people).SL = -1000 + 2W, where SL is the supply of labor per day (in thousandpeople). Note: W = daily wage per worker (in thousand rupiah).Calculate: a) Labor market balance.b) The number of job opportunities available every day. When the government feels that labor wages are low and intends to increase it, thenProvincial Minimum Wage can be set at IDR 6,000Calculate:c) Total demand for labor.d) Total supply of labor. Describe your analysis:e) Please provide your analysis of the results of the initial equilibrium (parts a and b); withthe result of the increase in the Provincial Minimum Wage (sections c and d) associated with the market mechanism. ExistWhat economic phenomena can you conclude? Please solve all parts because every part is relationship
Consider two labour markets that are identical, aside from the fact that one is a monopsony and the other is perfectly competitive. a) Which labour market would you expect to pay the higher wage? Explain. b) Which labour market would you expect to have the higher level of employment? Explain. c) Now, assume that the government implements a minimum wage in both labour markets. Specifically, the minimum wage is set equal to the perfectly competitive labour market's equilibrium wage. i) Do you expect the new minimum wage to increase/decrease/not affect the wage level in the monopsonistic labour market? Do you expect the new minimum wage to increase/decrease/not affect the employment level in the monopsonistic labour market? Explain. ii) Do you expect the new minimum wage to increase/decrease/not affect the wage level in the perfectly competitive labour market? Do you expect the new minimum wage to increase/decrease/not affect the employment level in the perfectly competitive labour…
Suppose that the marginal revenue product of U.S. labor is given by MRP = 250 - L. Also, suppose that a total of Ln = 150 native-born U.S. workers supply their labor inelastically. Assume further that the government allows 50 immigrant workers, who are perfect substitutes for native-born workers, to enter the United States. What is the value of the immigration surplus?
The legislature in a state in the South passes strong "right-to-work" laws that make it very difficult for unions to organize workers, so the wage is always equal to the market-clearing value. Except for this difference in legislation, the northern and southern states are very similar.The initial position of a supply-and-demand graph corresponds to the initial labor market condition in the southern state before the labor union negotiated the new, higher wage for workers in the northern state.Suppose that after the wage goes up in the northern state, some workers in the northern state lose their jobs and decide to move to the southern state. Which of the following groups are better off as a result of the union action in the northern state? (select all that apply) a) The original workers in the southern state b) Workers in the northern state employed at the union wage c) Employers in the northern state d) Workers who find new jobs in the southern state
At a price of $5/hour, Bob wants to hire three workers. When the price rises to $7/hour, Bob wants to hire only two workers. Bob's price elasticity of demand for workers is calculated as_________ , which means workers are a(n) __________ resource for Bob (type either elastic / inelastic / unitary elastic in the second blank and spell correctly). For all numbers, please make sure you round to two decimal places (putting the required digits to the left of the decimal point and two digits to the right of the decimal point and an additional hint is to use the midpoint method).
Question 26 of 30 Consider the labor market for electricians. The demand curve is downward sloping and the supply curve is upward sloping. In this market, however, there is a strong labor union. Assume that the electrician's union is able to negotiate a new contract that substantially raises their member's wages. Select the correct statement. Fewer people want to work as electricians as the union increases wage. Firms hire the same number of electricians at both wages. The wage increase is unambiguously beneficial for all the electricians working before the wage increase. O A consequer of the union negotiating a higher wage is fewer jobs for electricians. 8:25 PM 46°F 12/15/2021 a

Assume labor market demand is given by: lD = 10 – w and labor market supply by: lS = w – 2. Suppose that a union has a monopoly in the supply of labor. Suppose also that the goal it has decided to pursue is to maximize the total wage bill. In this case, the quantity of labor it will offer is?
Question Three Assume that the labour market is characterized by monopsony power. Illustrate and explain how the government can maximize employment levels by imposing a minimum wage. The marginal revenue product of labor at the local sawmill is MRPL = 20 - 0.5L, where L = the number of workers. If the wage of sawmill workers is K10 per hour, then how many workers will the mill hire? What factors that determine demand for labour by the firm? Who are the main actors in the labour markets? What are their roles?
Demand and supply conditions in the market for unskilled labor are important concerns to business and government decision makers. Consider the case of a federally mandated minimum wage set above the equilibrium, or market clearing, wage level. Some of the following factors have the potential to influence the demand or quantity demanded of unskilled labor. Influences on the supply or quantity supplied may also result. Holding all else equal, describe these influences as increasing or decreasing, and indicate the direction of the resulting movement along or shift in the relevant curve(s). A) An increase in the quality of secondary education. B) A rise in welfare benefits. C) An increase in the popularity of self-service gas stations, car washes, and so on.
