Step by step
Solved in 3 steps
- When deriving labour supply, we assumed that the substitution effect dominated the income effect. What impact would there be on labour supply if this was not the case? Briefly investigate how such a change could theoretically affect the imposition of a minimum wage. (Your answer is likely to benefit if it is supported by a diagram.)Say whether you agree or disagree with this statement and explain your reason: “If the income effect of a wage change dominates the substitution effect for a given household, and the household works longer hours following a wage change, wages must have risen.”Explain in detail Discuss the possible substitution effect and the income effect of an increase in income on leisure time.
- Question 12. The graph below illustrates the equilibrium outcome of a rising wage. Copy the graph, and indicate the income and substitution effects. Point to the new equilibrium. Explain what makes the new equilibrium optimal for the consumer. What is the total effect of the wage change? Why? 300 IC 225 150 75 8. 10 12 14 18 20 22 24 Hours of free time Consumption (S)Sam has the following labor supply curve: The income effect of a higher wage outweighs the substitution effect when wages are _____ .

In 2008, Toyota started building a plant to produce the 2010 Prius for the U.S. market in Blue Springs, Mississippi. Earlier models of the Prius were produced in Asia. Source: CNN, July 10, 2008 15. Explain how this change by Toyota will influence the factor incomes that make up U.S. GDP.What happens to hours of work when the wage rate falls? Decompose the change in hours of work into income and substitution effects.
- 1) What would be the substitution effect and the income effect of a wage increase? 2) What do you think accounts for the wide range of savings rates in different countriesIllustrate (using a labor-leisure choice diagram) how a firm may induce a typical employee to lengthen his work week voluntarily by paying him premium wage rates for overtime hours.Lance lives in Williston, North Dakota. The firms in town, such as the Walmart, pay teenagers without a high school degree the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour. Because his parents provide him Y (mostly in the form of room and board), Lance chooses to stay in school and not work. However, a new fracking firm starts production nearby so the wage rises to three times the minimum wage. Use a labor-leisure choice figure to show why he does not work initially but then works a substantial number of hours at the higher wage. Draw Lance's original budget constraint and show that he does not choose to work. The firms in town, such as the Walmart, pay teenagers without a high school degree the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour. Assuming the price of consumption is $1.00, what is the slope of Lance's original budget constraint? The slope of Lance's original budget constraint is places.) (Round your response to two decimal C
