When there is increase in the production, we normally increase the labour rather than the machinery. The more labour employed in the production process, there will be raise in the production, But continuous increase in the labour may lead to decrease in the production after certain point. Here comes the question. How many employees should be employed to get maximum production? Law of variable proportion answers the question of the employment of labour for optimum production? Explain the Law of Variable Proportions in detail?
The following is the labor market situation in Country XXX. “There is an increase in the numbers of entrant into the labor market in Country XXX around October as the new graduates who have just finished their studies are looking for jobs. Stiff competition added by the absence of an agency which can help these graduates find suitable jobs make it difficult for them to grab a job. At the same time, the government also announced that it has reduced the unemployment benefits. Based on the above labor market situation, explain how the characteristics of this market affect the natural rate of unemployment in Country XXX.
Consider Special City that manufactures light fixtures that are sold around the world. Draw their base case Labor Market graph. Now assume there is a national shortage of glass that Special City manufacturers use to create their light fixtures. Show what would be the effect on your Labor Market graph. Lastly, assume the manufacturers change their manufacturing process to use less glass but inadvertently create a very noticeable increase in the smog levels that makes it hard to breathe. Show another variation to reflect the change in your labor market graph, be sure to indicate the effects of the changes on for each of these market changes or combine the graphs, just be sure the changes and new equilibria are legible:

Elsa and Anna are two students each considering whether to pursue a college education before entering the job market. For each worker, an education level of E = 1 indicates that she has completed college and earned a degree, while E = 0 indicates she has not. Elsa can generate V E = 36 worth of output per hour while Anna can only produce V A = 12 per Obtaining a degree is costly, and the students must pay for their educations by taking out student loans that will be repaid during their working years. Elsa is a naturally capable student so the degree costs her the equivalent of CE = 18 per hour in future wages, whereas Anna struggles with her studies and must pay CA = 27 per hour. Note that their education levels do not impact their productivity. Hans is an employer who cannot observe the workers’ innate abilities but can observe their education levels. The labor market is competitive, so that Hans must always offer a wage equal to his reservation price, and thus makes zero profit. a)…

√N. The 3. Suppose that the production function of an economy is given by Y = (representative) firm hires workers (N) at a wage rate w. Assume that the firm maximizes profits by choosing how much to produce and how many workers (hours) to hire. (Remember that the profit function is Y - WN.) = The representative consumer has preferences given by the utility function U(-) = log (c) + log (l), with a marginal rate of substitution given by c/l, where c is consumption and I is the leisure time. The endowment of time of an individual is 24, which has to be allocated between labor and leisure. (Recall that N + 1 = 24.) a. Derive an expression for the labor demand function. b. Derive an expression for the labor supply function. c. Compute the equilibrium wage rate and the equilibrium quantity of labor employed. d. Consider a technical improvement of the production process that determines a new production function Y = 2√N. Compute the new equilibrium quantity of labor and wage rate. e. Draw a…
Based on this model, firms earn revenue when Suppose Teresa earns $750 per week working as a pilot for Wingies. She uses $10 to take a yoga class at Big Bend. Big Bend pays Sam $475 per week to instruct yoga. Sam uses $350 to purchase international flights from Wingles. Event purchase Identify whether each of the following events in this scenario occurs in the factor market or the product market. Sam earns $475 per week working for Big Bend. Teresa spends $10 to take a yoga class. Teresa earns $750 per week working for Wingies. Factor Market Product Market in product markets. The $475 per week Sam earns working for Big Bend O Teresa's labor Which of the elements of this scenario represent a flow from a household to a firm? This could be a flow of dollars, inputs, or outputs. Check all that apply. The yoga class Teresa receives The $350 Sam spends to purchase international flights from Wingies

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
Please explain following phenomena applying what you have learned in our behavioural economics class A) A study finds that teachers spent more when their future wages were expected to rise, but they did not cut back when their future wages were expected to fall.
