The lines on the graph are budget constraints, showing the tradeoff between labor and leisure. Suppose that when the wage changes, an individual chooses to move from point A to another point on the graph. For each of the other points, where would it belong on the backward bending labor supply curve? Backward‑bendingportionVerticalportionUpward‑slopingportion Answer Bank B D F C E
Explain how the wage can adjust to balance thesupply and demand for labor while simultaneouslyequaling the value of the marginal product oflabor.
Which of the following events will shift the laborsupply curve to the right?a. More dads leave the work force to spend timeraising children.b. Great new video games are introduced, enhancingthe value of leisure.c. Relaxed immigration laws allow more workers tocome in from abroad.d. Government benefits for the retired are increased
Use your knowledge of household production theory to indicate the following: a) The expected effect of a wage increase on women’s labour supply. b) The expected effect of an increase in the wage of a women on the demand for children. c) Why the substitution effect for labour supply may be larger for women than men. d) The effect of a spouse’s disability on the other person’s labour supply, where the spouse requires home (not institutional) care. e) The effect on the same spouse’s labour supply, as in (d), if the government (or private insurance) provided financial compensation to the family.
1. Supose that·Total Factor Productivity increases·Capital depreciates by 10%Everything else equal, what happens to labor demand in the economy?A. It decreases (i.e. shifts to the left of the demand curve)B. It increases (i.e. shifts to the right of the demand curve)C. Not enough information to answer 2. Does an increase in the wage causes leisure always to increase, because leisure is a normal good?A. YesB. NoC. Only if the substitution effect dominates the income effectD. Only if the income effect dominates the substitution effect
KA. Ann has non-labour income M; hourly wage rate w. She can choose how many hours she works. She can use her income to purchase consumption, each unit of consumption has price p. (a) Initially, Ann decides not to work at all. Using a consumption-leisure diagram, explain her behaviour. (b) Now, her hourly wage rate increases to w’ > w. She decides to start working. Using an appropriate diagram, explain how she decides how many hours to work using substitution and income effects.
Andy’s Beach Gear rents snorkels for $10 each. From past experience Andy knows how many rentals his workers can do, which is shown in the table below. Workers No. of Rentals 1 100 2 130 3 155 4 175 5 190 6 200 7 205 In the third column, calculate the MPL (marginal product of labor) for each worker. In the fourth column, calculate the VMPL (value of marginal product of labor) for each worker. At a wage of $150, how many workers should Andy hire? Calculate the average product of labor when Andy employs five workers? Using the data in the table construct a labor demand curve for Andy’s Beach Gear.
Imagine a firm that employs two types of workers – some with computer skills and others withno technology related skills. (i) Explain how a firm’s production function is related to its marginal product of labour, howa firm’s marginal product of labour is related to the value of its marginal product and how afirm’s value of marginal product is related to its demand for labour. (ii) Explain how the wage can adjust to balance the supply and demand for labour whilesimultaneously equalling the value of the marginal product of labour.
