2. In the retail trade industry, unionized workers earn 19.0% more than non-unionized workers do. As you learned in class, this does not necessarily mean that non-union workers who gained union membership would receive raises of (on average) 19%, nor does it mean that the existence of the union increased the wages of workers who were able to join the union by 19%. Define the "spillover" and "threat" effects. If the spillover effect were larger in magnitude than the threat effect, would the existence of unions raise or lower the earnings of non-union workers? Would the 19% difference between union and non-union wages overestimate or underestimate the value of belonging to a labor union? (Again, ignore other factors for this part.) Briefly explain how the "product market" effect may operate in this industry. If the product market effect were large, would that suggest that the 19% wage difference is an underestimate or an overestimate of the amount by which unions increase workers' wages? (Ignore other factors again here.)

U.S. labor law protects the right for a group of workers in a given workplace to be represented by more than one union. False True
Use 2-diagrams, one for unionized and the other for non-unionized sector where both markets are initially in equilibrium. Assume that despite an increase in wages in unionized sector, the employment level is fixed in the unionized sector at the initial competitive equilibrium level. What would be the impact of an increase in wages on both sectors in this case? Explain
a. There are 100 workers. In 2084, after decades of complaining about low wages, the programmers at Robotron have a secret-ballot vote and form a union. Their new union bargains for a wage of $80 per hour, and the newly unionized programmers are very excited. How many workers will Robotron hire at the new, higher wage? There will be _____ workers at Robotron after unionization. b. Suppose there were 65 workers at Robotron before unionization. How many Robotron workers just got laid off? After unionization, ______Robotron workers will be laid off. c. A natural choice for the other programmers is to look for work at Korrexia: As before, the remaining workers have perfectly inelastic labor supply, so all 100 workers are going to work at one of the two firms. How many programmers work for Korrexia? What’s the wage for the nonunion Korrexia workers? Korrexia will hire ____workers. Korrexia workers will earn wages of $ ____ d.

Only typed answer and don't use chatgpt Management and a labor union are bargaining over how much of a $50 surplus to give to the union. The $50 is divisible up to one cent. The players have one shot to reach an agreement. Management has the ability to announce what it wants first, and then the labor union can accept or reject the offer. Both players get zero if the total amounts asked for exceed $50. Which of the following is true? A There are multiple Nash equilibria. B ($25, $25) is a Nash equilibrium. C A Nash equilibrium is also a perfect equilibrium. D There are multiple Nash equilibria, and ($25, $25) is a Nash equilibrium.
