20. Consider the following graph of indifference curves between risk (P = probability of injury) and wage (w). Use our Hedonic Wage Function approach (from Ch. 5). In either case (the steeper or flatter indifference curve, ), suppose the individual starts with wage wo and probability of injury P = 0.4. W steeper U flatter 0.4 0.5 Which of the following statements is accurate? From the stated starting point, O none of the other options. O the compensating differential required to get a willingness to take on an increase in risk from 0.4 to 0.5 is larger for the case of the flatter indifference curve. ○ we would expect to see a person with the flatter indifference curve in jobs with a lower probability of injury than the person with the steeper one. O the flatter indifference curve indicates a lower willingness to put up with an increase in risk from 0.4 to 0.5. O the steeper indifference curve indicates a lower willingness to put up with an increase in risk from 0.4 to 0.5.

2. Consider a version of the labor market model of Pissarides (1985) in which the matching function M(u, v) is M(u, v) = u+ v and the discount factor 3 is one. (a) Derive an expression for the worker's job-finding probability p(8) and for the firm's worker-finding (or job-filling) probability, q(8). (b) Express the equilibrium market tightness 0 in terms of the parameters of the model, k, 5, 7, b, and (c) Express the equilibrium unemployment u* in terms of the parameters of the model. (d) Compute the effect of a small increase in the productivity of labor y on the equilibrium market tightness 0. Explain your findings. (e) Compute the effect of a small increase in the productivity of labor y on the equilibrium unem- ployment. Explain your findings.
