### Economic Theory and Labor SupplyEconomic theory implies that an individual worker takes the wage rate as given and chooses how many hours of work to supply in the labor market. Suppose you have information at the individual level from a sample of **1000 married women**.\[ H_i = \beta_0 + \beta_1 W_i + \beta_2 S_i + e_i, \]where:- $ H $ is hours of work supplied,- $ W $ is the wage rate,- $ S $ is the salary earned by the husband,- $ i $ is the subscript for the individual woman.### AnalysisSuppose the estimated coefficient for $ \beta_1 $ is negative. Is the negative sign an expected result? Can economic theory explain this sign? Clearly discuss by considering all the relevant effects.

One essential statistical method for data analysis is regression analysis. Regression analysis can…

Suppose ry) Economic theory implies that an individual worker you have information at the individual level from a sample of 1000 married women. Hi = Bo + B1 W₁ + B₂Si + ei, where H is hours or work supplied, W is the wage rate, S is the salary earned by the husband, i is the subscript for the individual woman. Suppose the estimated coefficient for B₁ is negative. Is the negative sign an expected result? Can economic theory explain this sign? Clearly discuss by considering all the relevant effects.

In the 1970s Sweden adopted several new labour market policies affecting layoffs. Three were notable: (1) Plants that provided in-plant training instead of laying of workers in a recession received subsidies. (2) All workers had to be given at least one month's notice before being laid off, and the required time in he average plant was two to three months. (3) Laid-off workers had to be given first option on new jobs with the former employer.. What probable effects would these policies have on unemployment? government

1. Why wages differ For each of the scenarios in the following table, indicate the most likely reason for the difference in earnings. Scenario Two automotive technicians have the same amount of schooling and work experience, but earn different wages. The first works the day shift for an auto manufacturer factory for an annual wage of $52,000 per year, and the second works the night shift for the same company for an annual wage of $63,000 per year. An economics consulting firm hires Carlos, a recent PhD graduate in economics, and pays him an annual wage of $80,000. It also hires Jake, a recent master's degree graduate in economics, and pays him an annual wage of $63,000. Major league hockey goalies earn more than minor league hockey goalies.

5. Provide answers for the each of the following independent questions. a. Suppose Auto Fitters sells auto parts and car accessories from coast to coast. Last year's report suggested that a good salesperson can sell $1,000,000 a year worth of goods, while a poor one can sell only $100,000. Job applicants know if they are good or bad salespeople, but the hiring manager does not. The firm will offer job applicants a choice of a fixed salary of $25,000 or a commission of 20%. Assuming risk-neutral salespersons and the possibility of opportunistic behaviour, will this choice of contracts allow the firm to distinguish between good salespeople and bad ones before the hiring decision is made? b.

3:22 l LTE Question 11 Unanswered 2 attempts left Many professional sports teams operate under a salary cap. This means that teams typically have a fixed amount of money that they can spend on players' salaries - that is, a salary cap. This is true of the National Basketball Association (NBA), for example. Suppose that the NBA has a salary cap of $100 million dollars, and a team has $30 million available to sign new players. That is, $70 million has already been committed to player salaries. The team has two further possibilities: either sign a star player for $30 million, or sign two good, solid supporting players for $15 million each. What is the opportunity cost of signing the star player, assuming the team spends its full budget? A 2 supporting players 1 star player $30 million D There is no opportunity cost B.
