Education is a continuous variable, where e, is the years of schooling of a high-ability worker and e is the years of schooling of a lower-ability worker. The cost per period of education for these types of workers is cH and q, respectively, where c > CH. The wages they receive if employers can tell them apart are WH and w. Under what conditions is a pooling equilibrium possible? Let 0 be the share of the workers with high ability. A pooling equilibrium is possible whenever the amount of education required to receive the common wage is e° such that e°

A nonprofit organization conducts research on the economic impact of disabilities in a region. The research reveals that people with disabilities face higher costs of living due to expenses related to healthcare, assistive devices, and accessible housing. These additional costs contribute to a higher risk of poverty and economic hardship. The question is: In this research, the identified higher costs of living for people with disabilities primarily highlight: A) The efficiency of the current economic system B) The need for targeted economic policies and support measures C) The absence of any additional financial burden associated with disabilities D) The preference for institutional care over community- based support
Recent work suggests that the efficiency of factors of production seems to differ inter- nationally. Explain how this would affect the concept of factor-price equalization in the Heckscher-Ohlin model.
A firm is considering adopting a plan in which it would pay employees less than their MRPL early in their careers and more than their MRPL late in their careers. For a typical worker at the firm MRPL = 10 + 0.1T, where T = the number of years which the worker has been employed at the firm and MRPL is measured in dollars per hour. The worker’s wage per hour is W = 8 + 0.2T. Assume that this wage is high enough to attract workers from alternative jobs, that the discount rate for the firm is zero, and that the expected tenure of a typical worker is 35 years. If workers retire after 35 years, will this plan be profitable for the firm? Explain. For how many years will the firm “underpay” it workers? Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution.

Find the optimal wealth distribution function w, (p, w).

What is the Capital-Skill Complementarity Hypothesis?
QUESTION 16 Suppose workers can be divided into two groups: high and low skill workers. Let y be the number of years of college education of a worker. For workers in Group A (high skill workers) the cost of attaining an educational level y is CÃ(y)=$25y; for workers in Group B (low skill workers) the cost of attaining an educational level y is CB(y)=$65y. Employees will be offered $410 if they have y ≥ y*, where y* is an educational threshold determined by the employer. They will be offered $50 if they have y y* z
