In 2014, the Spanish government passed a law to change a regulation, known as the "Beckham law", on foreign athletes. This new law will require foreign professional athletes to pay the standard Spanish tax rate of 52 percent on earnings of more than 300,000 euros, up from the 24 percent rate they had been paying since 2005. For top-quality players, the elasticity of migration under the Beckham law was estimated to be 1.80 based on the average annual tax rate. Using this estimate f elasticity, the migration of top quality players to Spain should decrease by %. Round your response to the nearest two decimal places.

The English Premier League currently has no salary cap but is considering implementing one. They are doing this, in part, to reduce payroll disparities across teams that create competitive imbalance. How would the reduction in payroll imbalance affect the Gini Coefficient for the English Premier League?
Charles is a volunteer fire fighter living in San Diego who coaches youth soccer to supplement their normal income. At an hourly wage rate of $40, they are willing to coach 6 hours per week. Upping the wage to $55 per hour, they are willing to coach 8 hours per week. Using the midpoint method, the elasticity of Charles’s labor supply between the wages of $40 and $55 per hour is approximately , which means that Charles’s supply of labor over this wage range is .
Assume that the supply of low-skilled workers is fairly elastic, but the employers’ demand for such workers is fairly inelastic. If the policy goal is to expand employment for low-skilled workers, is it better to focus on policy tools to shift the supply of unskilled labor or on tools to shift the demand for unskilled labor? Sketch a graph to help compare and contrast the two options.
Eric is a stay-at-home parent who lives in New York City and provides math tutoring for extra cash. At a wage of $50 per hour, he is willing to tutor 2 hours per week. At $75 per hour, he is willing to tutor 6 hours per week. Using the midpoint method, the elasticity of Eric’s labor supply between the wages of $50 and $75 per hour is approximately , which means that Eric’s supply of labor over this wage range is .
Edison is a stay-at-home parent who lives in Chicago and provides math tutoring for extra cash. At a wage of $35 per hour, he is willing to tutor 10 hours per week. At $60 per hour, he is willing to tutor 19 hours per week. Using the midpoints formula, the elasticity of Edison's labor supply between the wages of $35 and $60 per hour is approximately means that Edison's supply of labor within this wage range is which
The local community contains many residents with PhDs who would like to teach as adjunct professors at the local university, which is the main employer of people with PhDs. The university’s demand curve or marginal value curve for adjunct professors is written: W = 12,000 – 15Q, where W refers to the employer’s willingness to pay for an adjunct professor to teach one course. Because the university faces the entire market supply curve for adjunct professors, the supply curve is upward sloping as hiring each additional adjunct requires offering a higher wage for all who are hired. The assumption that everyone is paid the same salary as required by the marginal worker leads to the university’s marginal expenditures rising faster than the supply curve. The average expenditure curve (or supply curve) for teachers is written as: W = 4,200 + 25Q. But assuming that hiring an additional teacher involves increasing the wage for all of the teachers hired, the marginal expenditures for…
Many unions attempt to raise the hourly wages received by their members by restricting the supply of workers firms can hire from. Assuming the demand for workers who belong to these unions is inelastic, this would cause: wages of individual union members and the total (combined) income of union members to increase. wages of individual union members to increase and the total (combined) income of union members to decrease. wages of individual union members and the total (combined) income of union members to decrease. wages of individual union members to decrease and the total (combined) income of union members to increase.
It is argued that a point spread or total on a sports contest in the betting market is similar to: A) A disequilibrium B) A price ceiling C) A price floor D) An asset price
Suppose Hinterland has been a closed economy (meaning there is no immigration from foreign countries and no international trade). The current labor force has 4 million skilled workers and 8 million unskilled workers. Both types of labor have perfectly inelastic supply curves, and the current skilled-unskilled wage ratio is 2.5. The elasticity of demand of skilled labor is -0.4, while the elasticity of demand of unskilled labor is -0.1. Suppose Hinterland allows a brief period of immigration, during which time 1 million skilled workers and 4 million unskilled workers migrate to Hinterland. Suppose there are no other changes to the economy. Approximately what is the new skilled-unskilled wage ratio? (Hint: The percent change in the wage ratio is approximately equal to the percent change in the skilled wage minus the percent change in the unskilled wage.)
The Lerner Index informs us of what kind of goods we'd expect to see higher markups, ie. price relative to the marginal cost of production. Which of the following statement is consistent with this perspective and the implications of the Lerner Index? Firms with goods that are highly elastic would have relatively more price setting power. All of these are consistent with the implications of the Lemer Index. Firms producing necessary goods would be expected to have relatively less price setting power. Firms producing relatively inexpensive goods would have relatively more price setting power. 0 0 O O
assume that a firm has a monopoly power in the product market and faces perfect competition in the factor market. if the price elasticity of demand for the product of the firm is -4 and the VMPL is 40, then, the MRPL is?
Suppose the supply of apple pickers in Southwest Michigan can be expressed by the equation Qs=2/15(W-10) . An apple farmer advertises a wage of $100 per day to pick apples; however, when the day of the harvest arrives the farmer tells those assembled at the orchard that only 10 pickers are needed, and, as more than 10 pickers showed up looking for work, the wage will fall to the equilibrium. How many pickers showed up to work the apple harvest? What is the equilibrium wage offered by the farmer? Graph the supply of and demand for labor at the orchard, indicating the equilibrium price. Calculate the pickers’ total producer surplus, including the surplus lost by the pickers who were available to work but were not hired.
