Assume a monopsony uses only one factor, labor, L, to produce a final
good, Q, which it sells in a competitive market at the price, p = 1. The inverse supply
curve for labor is w = 20 + 2L. If the monopsony's labor demand curve is w = 70 - L,
how many units of labor does it hire and at what wage? What value does the
monopsony place on the last worker hired? How does the monopsony equilibrium
%3D
compare to the competitive equilibrium?
Workers are worse off when they face a monopsonistic labor market.
