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.

Which of the following statements are FALSE, all else being equal? Choose TWO The better the unemployment benefits, the lower the natural rate of unemployment. The higher unemployment rate in Europe is due to their weaker labour unions. If the technology of job search improves, the natural rate of unemployment decreases. O If there is an influx of large number of working-age migrants, the natural rate of unemployment increases.
