Consider the labour market represented in the following graph: real wage W P equilibrium employment WS PS Employment rate Where WS represents the Wage Setting relationship, and PS represents the Price Setting relationship. Which of the following statements are INCORRECT? Changes in the marginal product of labour will change the equilibrium level of unemployment because it makes the wage setting (WS) curve shift. A non-labour related increase in cost of production, will shift the PS curve downwards. The PS curve is horizontal because changes in prices do not affect the rate employment in the economy. A positive demand shock that increases actual output will move the equilibrium employment to the right of the point E in the graph.
7. What is most likely to occur if wages decrease from point Wes to a point below Wu? Use the graphic below. Oa) Families will continue as if nothing has occurred Ob) Families will feel constrained to send the children they already have to work (despite their age) c) Families will have more children without sending existing children to work Od) None of the above

One of the factors in z, the catch-all variable, is the minimum wage, a price floor below which the nominal wage cannot go A decrease in this factor will be expected to the nominal wage.
Task 1 The salary curve is given by: W A° •W (u, ре The price curve is given by: P = (1+ price surcharge) · marginal cost w P = (1+µ) · A a) Explain how unemployment (u) and expected price level (P ^ e) affect nominal wages and expected real wages. Give an interpretation of the variable z^ w? b) Draw both the price and wage curve in a diagram where real wages (W/ P) are on the Y-axis and unemployment (u) is on the X-axis. Explain why the real wage in this model is not dependent on unemployment [Hint: Expected price is not the same as actual price. P^e + P] c) Take the Values in b) as a starting point and explain what we mean by equilibrium and equilibrium unemployment in price and wage setting. d) How will these cases affect the equilibrium in problem c? 1) Increased unemployment benefits 2) Increased productivity
4. Consider the Keynesian Efficiency Wage Model.

The diagram on the right shows a perfectly competitive labour market. The initial equilibrium is with wage w* and employment L*. a. Suppose the demand for labour decreases to D'L. If wages are perfectly flexible, what is the effect on the wages and employment? If wages are perfectly flexible, wages will decrease decrease and employment will Use the point drawing tool to plot the new equilibrium point. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required object. Real Wage Part a Employment OU

A dozen eggs cost $1.03 in December 1980 and $1.60 in December 2018. The average wage for workers in private industries was $7.13 per hour in December 1980 and $23.09 in December 2018. By what percentage did the price of a dozen eggs rise? 36% 55% 57% By what percentage did the wage rise? 32% 62% 224% In order to earn enough to buy a dozen eggs, a worker had to work _______ minutes in December 1980 and_________ minutes in December 2018. Workers' purchasing power in terms of eggs_________ between 1980 and 2018.
