The following article has appeared in the latest edition of the American Economic Review (one of the best academic journals in Economics). Very briefly, and with the aid of a diagram, please explain the article’s main finding using the theory on immigration that we learnt in Chapter 4 (Labor Market Equilibrium). “The Abolition of Immigration Restrictions and the Performance of Firms and Workers: Evidence from Switzerland By Andreas Beerli, Jan Ruffner, Michael Siegenthaler, and Giovanni Peri Abstract: We study a reform that granted European cross-border workers free access to the Swiss labor market and had a stronger effect on regions close to the border. The greater availability of cross-borderworkers increased foreign employment substantially. Although many cross- border workers were highly educated, wages of highly educated natives increased. The reason is a simultaneous increase in labor demand: the reform increased the size, productivity, and innovation performance of…

Figure 2 represents the Texas labor market. In this simplified model, labor and capital are the only factors of production. The initial supply of labor is denoted by S0 and consists entirely of U.S. workers. The demand for labor is denoted by D. Quantity of workers are in thousands and the wage rate is for a 40-hour workweek. (a) At labor market equilibrium, what is total weekly labor income? (b) At labor market equilibrium, what is the weekly income earned by U.S. capital owners? (Note: the capital owners are on the demand side – the demand curve reflects their demand for labor -- so the consumer surplus is the capital owner’s income.) Mexican labor migration yields a new labor supply curve, S1, which is the combination of domestic labor supply and Mexican labor. Given this: (c) What is total weekly labor income?(d) What is the weekly income earned by U.S. capital owners?
Consider the standard Harris-Todaro framework for rural-urban migration from class. I.e. there is a minimum wage in the formal urban sector and urban residents who fail to get a formal sector job wind up unemployed. In contrast, the agricultural labor market has no frictions. Now let's imagine that, due to climate change and mismanagement of water resources, the water table falls, reducing the marginal product of labor - and hence the wage - in the rural, agricultural sector. What effect would this have on the unemployment rate in urban areas? Choose the best option A. The urban unemployment rate would go up. B. The urban unemployment rate would stay the same. C. There is not enough information to determine what will happen to the urban unemployment rate. D. The urban unemployment rate would go down.
Which of the following statements is correct? a. Most adults in the US are forced to sell their labor power, for a wage or salary, because they have no other means of earning a living. b. Employers are normally in a more powerful position, than workers, when bargaining over wages. c. The employer’s power decreases as unemployment increases. d. All of the above are correct. e. Both a and b are correct. f. Both a and c are correct. g. Both b and c are correct. h. None of the above is correct.
Let’s say we extend the the standard 1 person static labor supply problem instead to a family with two people making money. In the family of two money makers, given as person 1 and person 2, the given utility function is u(c1 + c2, l1, l2). Utility is defined as a function of the sum of goods consumed by the two people in the family, and of each person’s leisure time. Each person has a time endowment of “Ti” and gets a wage “wi”, where i = 1, 2. The two person family has a non-labour income defined y (which means this is the income of the family whether or not they work) and face price “p” for consumption goods. How can I utilize the Slutsky equation to show how the labour supply of 2 changes with w1? Thank you!
