Answer C only please
On December 30, 1974, the hypothetical country Alpha decided to introduce a minimum wage policy. Cities with ID numbers 11, 23, 45, 57, 60, and 61 were randomly chosen to implement this minimum wage policy. The remaining cities in country Alpha did not adopt a minimum wage policy. You are asked to empirically and theoretically evaluate the impact of the introduction of the minimum wage in country Alpha on the labour market outcomes.
a) Assuming there is no labour mobility and using the basic model of minimum wage, how do you expect the introduction of this policy to change the existing equilibrium wage and employment rate in the affected cities?
MY ANSWER IS
b)You are then asked to empirically evaluate the impact of the implementation of the minimum wage policy on employment rate in cities that implemented the new legislation compared to the other cities. Use data only from 1974, and 1975 in your policy evaluation. First, write down a regression model, and then estimate the model using Stata. Interpret all the coefficients as well as the intercept in your model.
I GET NEGATIVE COEFFICIENT for employment THAT SUPPORTS MY ANSWER IN A
c) Is your finding in part (b) in line with the theoretical prediction of the simple model in part (a)? Explain why your empirical findings in part (b) could be different from the theoretical prediction in part (a)?
ANSWER C PLS ONLY for why part (b) could be different from the theoretical prediction in part (a)?

- Consider the Labor Market in New York and New Jersey. In both markets Demand is given by w = 1000-2E. Assume New York has a perfectly inelastic supply of 400 workers and New Jersey has perfectly inelastic supply of 200 workers. a. Graph the two markets and find the equilibrium wage in each market. b. With costless mobility across markets what would the long-run wage in each market. Show this in your graphs. c. Instead, assume that there are still 400 workers in New York and 200 in New Jersey but now the cost of moving is $ 100. What will be the long-run wage in each market?

Now assume there is a national shortage of glass that Special City manufacturers use to create their light fixtures. Show what would be the effect on your Labor Market graph. Lastly, assume the manufacturers change their manufacturing process to use less glass but inadvertently create a very noticeable increase in the smog levels that makes it hard to breathe. Show another variation to reflect the change in your labor market graph, be sure to indicate the effects of the changes on for each of these market changes or combine the graphs, just be sure the changes and new equilibria are legible:arrow_forwardThe graph above shows a labor market where the downward-sloping curve is firm demand for labor and the upward-sloping curve is the worker supply curve. The vertical axis shows the hourly wage and the horizontal axis shows the number of full-time workers. Suppose a minimum wage of $9 is instituted. How many unemployed workers will result from the minimum wage? (Note: An unemployed worker is anyone who wants to work but cannot find a job.)arrow_forward
- Can you let me know if i got these correct. thanksarrow_forwardBegin by locating a scholarly article regarding the effects of increases on minimum wages and discuss its findings. Does a minimum wage increase lead to reductions in employment, or is the overall effect on employment net positive? Do you agree or disagree with the results of the study? What do you think are other vital considerations that should be taken into account in the study? Discuss how conscious capitalism would approach a minimum wage increase. Provide examples to support your rationale.

Let T E denote the total effect on the demand for good i in response to the price increase, that is the change from xi*(p, I) to xi*(p', I). We know that T E can be decomposed into two effects the substitution effect (SE) and the income effect (IE). Are the following necessarily true (i.e, answer True if the expression is always true for every possible demand function, and False if there is some demand function such that the expression if false): 1. T E < 02. If SE < 0 then IE < 03. If SE < 0 then T E < 04. If T E < 0 then IE < 05. If IE < 0 then T E < 0arrow_forward
