- Suppose employment and wages are determined by an implicit contract specifying a fixed wage at which workers must supply as much labour as the firm demands. Then firms earn _________ profits and workers earn __________ income during periods of high demand, compared to the alternative in which employment and wages are determined purely by competitive labour market forces. A. higher; higher B. lower; lower C. lower; higher D.higher; lowerarrow_forwardTrue or false: Equilibrium employment is given by the intersection of the wage and the profit curvesarrow_forwardWhen unemployment exists in the supply and demand labor market model, there is an adjustment that brings the model back into equilibrium—back to full employment. Orthodox economists cite two mechanisms that cause the adjustment. Explain each of these.arrow_forward
- Which 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_forwardThe wage elasticity of labor supply can be calculated using the following approach:Group of answer choices The labor force participation rate / the inflation rate % change in wage / % change in quantity of labor supplied % change in quantity of labor supplied / % change in wage % change in quantity of labor supplied / the savings ratearrow_forwardBased on class discussion, the following are corrected descriptions about sectors and dynamics in the Labor Market, EXCEPT: Hi, This is the entire question. It is not incomplete. Question 18 options: Low Skilled Labor has a more Elastic Demand than the High Skilled Labor sector. Low Skilled Labor has a more Inelastic Supply than the High Skilled Labor sector. An aging population could lead to a contraction of the Labor Force and consequent increase of Wages in the market. Higher Pension Benefits will decline the motivation to work, with the consequent decline of market wages.arrow_forward
- Consider two distinct labor markets in two provinces, Gaziantep and Trabzon. Initially, the “native” wage ?? is the same in both provinces, with equilibrium occurring at the intersection of labor supply and demand curves in each of the provinces. Suppose that Gaziantep receives an influx of Syrian immigrants. Assume that immigrants and natives are “perfect substitutes” in production and immigration between the two provinces is “costless.” Firms are not allowed to move between provinces. Describe the new equilibrium in the labor market for natives in each of the provinces using labor supply and demand curves. Explain your reasoning. Assume that immigrants and natives are “perfect complements” in production and immigration between the two provinces is “costless.” Firms are not allowed to move between provinces. Describe the new equilibrium in the labor market for natives in each of the provinces using labor supply and demand curves. Explain your reasoning. Assume that immigrants…arrow_forwardMinimum-wage laws and unemployment Consider the market for labor depicted by the demand and supply curves that follow. Complete the following table with the quantity of labor supplied and demanded if the wage is set at $12.50. Then indicate whether this wage will result in a shortage or a surplus. Suppose a senator considers introducing a bill to legislate a minimum hourly wage of $12.50. Which of the following statements are true? Check all that apply. Binding minimum wages cause structural unemployment. in this labor market, a minimum wage of $9.50 would be binding. In the absence of price controls, a surplus puts downward pressure on wages until they fall to equilibrium. If the minimum wage is set at $12.50, the market will not reach equilibrium.arrow_forwardUnder which of the following circumstances would a positive bargaining gap occur: a) A downward shift of the wage-setting curve. b) Downward pressure on the level of employment in an economy. c) An upward shift in the price-setting curve. d) An upward shift of the wage-setting curve. e) None of the above options are correct.arrow_forward
