- Explain why there will always be some unemployment when the labour market is in equilibrium.arrow_forwardSuppose a firm’s hourly marginal product of labour is given by MPN = 0.2(200 − N), where N is the number of labour hours used in production. The amount of labour supplied by workers, NS, is given by NS = 100 + 5w, where w is the real wage. (a) Suppose the current real wage is equal to 20. How much labour will the firm want to hire? How much labour will the workers want to supply? Is there excess supply or excess demand of labour in the economy? Do you expect the real wage to go up or go down in this case? (b) Find the equation of the labour demand and calculate the equilibrium levels of real wage and full-employment. (c) If the government decides to tax the labour income, the equation of labour supply becomes NS = 100 + 5(1 − τ )w. Suppose τ = 40%. Repeat part (b). Compared to the results in (b), do the equilibrium levels of real wage and full-employment increase or decrease?

- Economists use labor-market data to evaluate how well an economy is using its most valuable resource—its people. Two closely watched statistics are the unemployment rate and the employment–population ratio (calculated as the percentage of the adult population that is employed).

After an unsuccessful search, some laid-off workers quit looking for new jobs. Numerous students graduate from college and immediately begin new jobs. Advances in health care prolong the lives of many retirees.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements correctly describes the demand for labor? A. The higher the real wage rate, the greater is the quantity of labor that firms find it profitable to hire because firms can hire higher-skilled labor at higher wage rates. B. The real wage rate influences the quantity of labor demanded because what matters to firms is how much output they must sell to earn the dollars they pay the workers. C. Each additional hour of labor hired produces more additional output than the previous hour. D. The demand for labor curve is downward sloping because hours per person increase as the real wage rate falls.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is correct regarding involuntary unemployment? When there is no involuntary unemployment, firms must be employing workers without ever dismissing them. When a firm sacks a worker against her wishes but she can get another job immediately, there is involuntary unemployment. When there is involuntary unemployment, the employment rent is zero. There must be involuntary unemployment in an efficiency wage equilibrium.arrow_forward
