- Question 2For each of the events describe below, you are required to explain:1. The market you are evaluating (e.g., labour market, automotive market, etc).2. Does the event act on the demand side, supply side, or both sides of the market?3. Does the event lead to a quantity or price change? Or does the event lead to a shift indemand, supply, or both?Make sure to explain what sort of assumptions you are making on the elasticities of demand and supply (when plotting your demand and supply, describe whether you are assuming an elastic or inelastic demand/supply).a) A concerted reduction in the total production level in oil markets.b) The implementation of a minimum wage.c) The implementation of subsidies to agricultural production in Australiaarrow_forward29.

- How does the amount of employment created by an increase in the minimum wage depend on the elasticity of labor demand? Group of answer choices: a. When the minimum wage increases, employment will fall by a greater amount when the demand for labor is more elastic. b. When the demand for labor is more elastic, raising the minimum wage has no impact on employment. c. When the demand for labor is more inelastic, raising the minimum wage has no impact on employment. d. When the minimum wage increases, employment will fall by a greater amount when the demand for labor is more inelastic.arrow_forwardThe Federal Reserve and economists concerned about inflation monitor changes in technology, knowing improvements in technology tend to O increase the quantity supplied as prices decrease.

The US military has claimed that there may soon be a shortage of fighter pilots. The Pentagon predicts that if actions are not taken the shortage will get much larger in the coming 3-5 years. As background information, you should know that both the demand and wages of commercial pilots has risen over the past five years (which you should see as a substitute for military pilots). a). First, graph and explain economically what the Pentagon might mean by a shortage? (note: the demand for fighter pilots is fairly inelaştic) Would micro see this shortage as an inefficiency? If so, show the deadweight loss. b). Provide two efficient solutions to solve the coming shortage of fighter pilots and graphs your solutions.arrow_forward
