Which of the following is not Trade shifts jobs from export sector to import-competing. From 2001 to 2010, only about 2% of involuntary displacements stemmed from import competition or plants moved overseas. There no evidence of a positive correlation between unemployment and imports (relative to U.S. GDP) for the U.S. The process of job shifting is not instantaneous.

P F Q1 Suppose that the wage ratio of skilled labor v.s. unskilled labor, wH/wL, is lower at home than at the foreign country and that production involves four stages/tasks, namely, R&D, marketing, components, and assembly ordered from the most skill intensive to the least skill intensive. Now consider a decrease in trade costs for shipping components and final goods between the two countries. Use a relative skilled-labor demand- and supply-curve graph to show the effect of lower trade costs on home country’s wH/w Use another relative skilled-labor demand- and supply-curve graph to show the effect of lower trade costs on foreign country’s wH/w Your answer:

When we speak of the demographic effects of immigration, we observe that Group of answer choices This helps Japan, because their workers have more experience. This hurts Japan, because fewer young workers are available to support the elderly. This helps the US, because their younger workers are physically stronger and can come up with better ideas. This hurts the US, because the immigrants are lazy.
Internal labor markets have higher wages and benefits. Reason(s) firms may voluntarily form internal labor markets is to: a. lower the cost of production. Due to their size, large firms have control problems (effectively converting labor power into output). Forming internal labor markets (or bureaucratic control) solves this problem. b. lower their taxes. Large corporations that form internal labor markets and pay health benefits receive a tax write-off that more than make up for the higher wages and benefits. c. lower the cost of production. For firms that have significant skills that can only be learned on the job, forming internal labor markets will lower their turnover rate. Thus, even with higher wages and benefits the cost of production falls because of higher skill level of their employees.
