Adjustments in employment can be small in size with a relatively fast adjustment, or the adjustments in employment can be large with a relatively slow adjustment in the cobweb model.
Which result is associated with an inelastic labor supply?
Need help ASAP, will give thumbs up:
Consider an empirical wage equation of the form:
log(W) = a + b(EDUC) + c(EXP) + d(EXPSQ) + u
where the components are defined as:
W = hourly wage rate
log() is natural logarithmic function
EDUC = completed years of school
EXP = work experience
EXPSQ = years of work experience squared (i.e. EXP times EXP)
u = unobservable determinants of the hourly wage rate
With data on the relevant variables for a sample of workers, the parameters a, b, c, and d can be estimated.
QUESTION: What does human capital theory predict about the parameters of this wage equation?
ANSWER CHOICES:
b>0, c>0, d>0
b>0, c>0, d<0
b>0, c<0, d>0
b<0, c>0, d<0
b<0, c<0, d>0
Answer
what happens in the work-leisure model, when the wage rate is decreasing and income effect is stronger than substitution effect?

- Please provide an accurate solution ASAP.arrow_forwardThe Earned Income Tex Credit (EITC) is the largest cash-benefit entitlement program in the United States, designed to provide assistance to low-income workers with children. Please analyze how the EITC may affect workers’ labor supply decisions.1. Using the standard labor supply model (i.e., the neoclassical model of labor-leisure choice), explain how the introduction of the EITC may affect single workers’ decision to participate in the labor force and their choice of hours worked. Use graphs to illustrate discussion. The study by Eissa and Liebman (1996) examines the impact of the 1986 EITC expansion on labor force participation and hours worked for unmarried low-income women with children. They use data from the Current Population Survey (CPS) for the tax years 1984–1986 and 1988–1990. The tax year 1987 is excluded to allow time for labor supply adjustment. The authors employ a difference-in-differences (DID) approach, using two different control groups:• Control Group 1: Unmarried…arrow_forwardDefine the contingent worker?arrow_forward
- When unemployment exists in the supply and demand labor market model, there is an adjustment that brings the model back into equilibrium—back to full employment. Orthodox economists cite two mechanisms that cause the adjustment.
