23. Question 23 is based on the below-mentioned diagram illustrates a monopsony outcome. The monopsony firm MRP = marginal revenue product, MFC = marginal factor cost and the wage is determined by the labour supply curve at this level of output. In the absence of a union the monopsony firm hires Lm workers and pays them Wm. MFC wage Wu Wm Lm S O a. hire less than Lm workers. Ob. hire a maximum of Lm workers. Ochire greater than Lm workers. Od. None of the above. MRP Quantity of labor Suppose the union and firm negotiates a wage above Wu, the firm will A
Now show the effect of unionization in the coal mining sector on the market for wood. PRICE OF WOOD As a result of the unionization: I Supply Demand QUANTITY OF WOOD The price of coal will increase and the price of wood will decrease The price of coal will decrease and the price of wood will decrease The price of coal will decrease and the price of wood will increase The price of coal will increase and the price of wood will increase
The graph below represents the labor supply curve of a monopsonistic firm. If the firm above hired labor at the quantity Q1, what wage rate would it pay? A-W1. B-W2. C-W3. D-W4. E-W5
What would you expect to happen to wages in a monopsonistic labor market?
3. A monopsonist's inverse demand for labor can be written as D-'(w) = VMP(E) = 40 – 0.005ED. Labor is supplied to the firm according to the inverse supply function S-(w) s(E) = w = 5+ 0.01E3. %3D
We discussed the impacts of both a monopsony as well a monopoly on the labour market. Combine the results of these two situations to discuss the ramifications on wages and employment if a firm was both a monopoly and monopsony.
List and explain five reasons why the role of unions are becoming more important now than prior to the COVID-19 pandemic
QUESTION 19 Refer to the following diagram. Wages in both the union and nonunion sectors are initially $10. The union then negotiates a wage rate of $12. The post-negotiation nonunion wage is not yet known. Union $12 $10 S VMP Labor $10 Nonunion VMP Labor The product-market effect would be modeled by shifting the nonunion supply curve to the right, increasing the measured union wage advantage. nonunion demand curve to the right, reducing the measured union wage advantage. Ⓒ union demand curve to the right, increasing the measured union wage advantage. union supply curve to the right, reducing the pure union wage advantage.
Explain the difference between competitive and monopsonistic labor markets. How does the monopsonistic firm optimize its choice of optimal labor? [Hint: explain with diagrams]
If an exclusive union is successful in restricting the supply of labour, the: Select one: a) Quantity of labour demanded will rise b) demand for labour curve will shift leftward c) number of job oppurtunities in the firm or industry will increase d) wage rate will rise e) quantity of goods and services supplied will diminished
Today the strongest segment of unionization is: Militant workers Public sector workers Craft workers Industrial workers
