- Other than the demand for labor, what would be another example of a 'derived demand?Table 14.12 shows the quantity demanded and supplied in the labor market for driving city buses in the town of Unionville, where all the bus drivers belong to a union. What would the equilibrium wage and quantity be in this market if no union existed? Assume that the union has enough negotiating power to raise the wage to 4 per hour higher than it would otherwise be. Is there now excess demand or excess supply of labor?Name some factors that can cause a shift in the demand curve in labor markets.
- Table 14.11 shows levels of employment (Labor), the marginal product at each of those levels, and a monopolys marginal revenue. What is the monopolys marginal revenue product at each level of employment? If the monopoly operates in a perfectly competitive labor market where the going market wage is 20, what is the films profit maximizing level of employment?What determines the demand for labor for a firm operation in a perfectly competitive out market?Why are the factors that shift the demand for a product different from the factors that shift the demand for labor? Why are the factors that shift the supply of a product different from those that shift the supply of labor?
- The diagram provides supply and demand curves for a competitive labour market it a labour union negobates the wage to W, in an otherwise competitive labour market OA employers will hire L, labour OB. employers will here labour at the level higher than L OC. the supply of labour will stay the same OD equilibrium will occur at W, and L OE the demand for labour will stay the same 0 Wage Rate W₁ Quarnty of Labour Supply DemandConsider a manufacturing firm in a labor market that isperfectly competitive. There are two kinds of workers: productiveworkers whose marginal revenue product is $48,000 per year, andlazy workers whose marginal revenue product is $40,000 per year. Itis difficult for the firm to differentiate between productive andlazy workers. A local college offers a new yearlong astronomy course. Althoughthe cost of tuition is the same for both types of workers, thepsychic cost of having to work hard and get a passing grade islower for productive workers because they are able to learn morequickly than lazy workers. Therefore, the cost of taking the class(including the cost of tuition as well as the psychic cost) is$5,000 per year for a productive worker and $10,000 per year for alazy worker. Because astronomy has little relevance tomanufacturing, taking the class does not increase or decrease aworker's productivity. The firm uses the class as a way to differentiate betweenproductive and lazy…The demand for unionized labor will generally be more elastic, and it will be more difficult for the union to achieve above-equilibrium wages, when: O there are few close substitutes for the unionized workers. O trade barriers limit the importation of the product produced by the unionized workers. O the cost of employing the unionized workers is a small part of the total cost of product that they produce. the demand for the product produced by the unionized workers is relatively price elastic. A strike, or the threat of one, is most likely to be effective when: O demand for the firm's product is weak. O foreign competition for the product is high. O the firm has a low product inventory. O demand for the product produced by the union workers is highly elastic.
- Suppose the supply of soccer players is give by the the equation Ls=W/10 and the valu of the marginal product is given by VMPL=100,000 - 100LD. Question 1 Compute the equilibrium number of players hired in a competitive labor market. Round to the nearest whole number. Question 2 Compute the equilibrium the wage paid to each player in a competitive labor market. Round to the nearest dollar.Based on economic theory, the introduction of a binding price floor (such as the minimum wage) in a competitive labor market has which of the following consequences: O None of the other answers O t leads to an increase in employer (consumer) surplus O It creates a shortage of labor supplied relative to labor demanded O It transfers surplus from workers to employers O It leads to the efficient level of workers employed$ MC of Labor P1 Labor Supply P2 P3 P4 VMPL/ Nabor Demand Quantity Labor The information above is from the labor supply and production function for a firm that operates as a monopsony employer.
