Immigration is a multi-faceted phenomenon, with the potential for both large-scale and industry- specific effects. Consider the following two effects of immigration that could occur in a specific market: • More consumers are now in the market. • The price of labor goes down due to increased competition in the labor market. Focusing only on these two effects, what would we expect to happen to prices and quantities in this market? Note labor is used as an input in all industries. a. Prices will decrease, but quantities could increase, decrease, or stay the same. b. Prices will increase, but quantities could increase, decrease, or stay the same. c.

The graphs below show demand for labor in two countries, A and B, and several vertical labor supply curves. Use these diagrams to answer the question about the effects of migration from one country to the other in search of a higher wage. Let the amount of migration (change in labor supply) be equal to the (identical) horizontal distance between the supply curves in both graphs. Country B Country A Se SB WB SA SA WA d PB h b a DA LB LA What is the effect of this migration on the welfare of workers who migrate? They gain area g They gain area (g+h+e) They gain area (a+b+c). O They gain area (g+h)

Consider two provinces that adopt different laws concerning labour unions. The following graph shows the labour market in a province in the West. Initially, the market-clearing wage is $10 per hour. Suppose that the legislature in this western province passes laws that make it easy for workers to join a union. Through collective bargaining, the union negotiates a wage of $16 per hour. Use the black point (plus symbol) to show how many union workers will be employed at the $16 wage. (Hint: Be sure to place the point on the appropriate curve.)
