Suppose labor demand for low-skilled workers in the United States is w = 35 – 0.2Ewhere E is the number of workers (in millions) and w is the hourly wage. There are 100 million domestic U.S. low-skilled workers who supply labor inelastically. If the U.S. opened its borders to immigration, 25 million low-skill immigrants would enter the U.S. and supply labor inelastically. What is the market-clearing wage if immigration is not allowed? What is the market-clearing wage with open borders?
The following graph shows the labor market for research assistants in the fictional country of Universalia. The equilibrium wage is $10 per hour, and the equilibrium number of research assistants is 250. Suppose the government has decided to institute a $4-per-hour payroll tax on research assistants and is trying to determine whether the tax should be levied on the employer, the workers, or both (such that half the tax is collected from each side). Use the graph input tool to evaluate these three proposals. Entering a number into the Tax Levied on Employers field (initially set at zero dollars per hour) shifts the demand curve down by the amount you enter, and entering a number into the Tax Levied on Workers field (initially set at zero dollars per hour) shifts the supply curve up by the amount you enter. To determine the before-tax wage for each tax proposal, adjust the amount in the Wage field until the quantity of labor supplied equals the quantity of labor demanded. You will not be…

Exercise 2. Suppose that Government is currently evaluating a project, which is going to hire native language teachers and requires in total 5000 hours of teaching. Let's denote the hour taught by native language teacher by letter L. Thus, the project's demand for teaching hours by native language teachers is described by the demand function La project = 5000. Suppose that the following is known about the current (pre-project) market for native language teachers: - there is no involuntary unemployment among the native language teachers - the Government does not apply any taxes or subsidies in this particular labour market; - the current (pre-project) demand for teaching hours by native language teachers is described by the demand function La = 30000 – 300Wa, where La denotes the quantity of teaching hours (by native language teachers) demanded and Wa denotes the demander price per teaching hour; - the current (pre-project) supply of teaching hours by native language teachers is given…
