- The way the workers’ compensation system works now, employees permanently injured on the jobreceive a payment of $X each year whether they work or not. Suppose the government were toimplement a new program in which those who did not work at all got $0.5X but those who did work got$0.5X plus workers’ compensation of 50 cents for every hour worked (of course, this subsidy would bein addition to the wages paid by their employers). What would be the change in work incentivesassociated with this change in the way workers’ compensation payments are calculated?. Contrasting labor union lews in twe states Consider two states that adopt afferent lews concerning labor unions. The following graph shows the lebor market in a state in the North. Initiay, the market-clearing wage there is s8.00 per hour. Suppose that the legislature in this northern state pesses laws that make Reasy for workers to join a union. Through collective bargaining, the union negotiatesa wege of s10.00 per hour. Use the graph input tool te help you answer the following questiens.

You scan the current wages in the Tampa area and notice that the attorneys in your company earn the local occupational median wage of $41.64 per hour, but that the prospective four paralegals will likely want to get paid their local occupational median wage of $23.66 per hour. a. Would /our company save money in the writing of the 30 legal briefs by hiring the four paralegals and firing some attorneys? b.

- When Alan Greenspan (an economist who wouldlater chair the Federal Reserve) ran a consulting firmin the 1960s, he primarily hired female economists. Heonce told the New York Times, “I always valued menand women equally, and I found that because othersdid not, good women economists were cheaper thanmen.” Is Greenspan’s behavior profit-maximizing? Isit admirable or despicable? If more employers werelike Greenspan, what would happen to the wagedifferential between men and women? Why mightother economic consulting firms at the time not havefollowed Greenspan’s business strategy?urgently help me plzIt has been argued by some that immigration reduces job opportunities for native-born workers. Based on our understanding of labor markets, we would conclude that This statement is generally inconsistent with economic logic because wages do not differe from country to country and immigration is generally not economically logical. this statement is generally consistent with economic logic becuase there are only a fixed number of jobs available and immigrants are willing to work for lower pay than native born workers. This statement is generally inconsistent with economic logic since more supply can lower wages and induce additional labor demand. This statement is generally consistent with economic logic because when firms create new jobs they have a need for foreign workers with different edcuational skils than native born workers.
- Policymakers sometimes propose laws requiringfirms to give workers certain fringe benefits, such ashealth insurance or paid parental leave. Let’s considerthe effects of such a policy on the labor market.a. Suppose that a law required firms to give eachworker $3 of fringe benefits for every hour that theworker is employed by the firm. How does this lawaffect the marginal profit that a firm earns from eachworker at a given cash wage? How does the lawaffect the demand curve for labor? Draw your answeron a graph with the cash wage on the vertical axis.b. If there is no change in labor supply, how wouldthis law affect employment and wages?c. Why might the labor-supply curve shift inresponse to this law? Would this shift in laborsupply raise or lower the impact of the law onwages and employment?d. As discussed in Chapter 6, minimum-wage lawskeep the wages of some workers, particularlythe unskilled and inexperienced, above theequilibrium level. What effect would a fringebenefit mandate have…If the population of the United States sudd enly grewbecause of a large wave of immigration, what wouldhappen to wages? What would ha ppen to the rentsearned by the owners of land and capital?Other than the demand for labor, what would be another example of a 'derived demand?
