A short piece from The Economist noted that “A doctor of general medicine in New York typically earns 64% less than a peer in Alabama.” This is despite the fact that there is a significantly higher demand for general medicine in New York compared to Alabama. Use a market supply and demand for general medicine practitioners in both New York and Alabama to depict this situation, and briefly explain why this is the case.
Will an increase in the minimum wage cause a shift in the demand curve for unskilled labor? Will an increase in the minimum wage cause a shift in the supply curve for unskilled labor? Briefly explain your answers.
Apparently, the increasing popularity of scooters is also leading to an increase in scooter-related injuries. Draw how the market for scooters/scooter rentals would be affected if this story about injuries became very widely publicized. What should happen to the equilibrium price and quantity of scooters or scooter rentals as a result of this event? Consider the labor market for people who work making or renting scooters. Draw how this labor market will change as a result of the change in the scooter/scooter rental market you described above. What should happen to the equilibrium wage and quantity of workers hired?
