The government wants to encourage individuals on welfare to become employed. It is considering two possible incentive programs: a. Give firms S2 per hour for every individual on welfare who is hired. b. Give each firm that hires one or more welfare workers a payment of $1,000 per year, irrespective of the number it hires. To what extent is each of these programs likely to be effective at increasing the employment opportunities of welfare workers? Giving firms $2 per hour for every individual on welfare who is hired O A. is likely to be unsuccessful because firms hire workers such that the marginal revenue product of labor equals the marginal cost of labor, and this approach reduces the marginal cost of labor by $2, decreasing employment. O B. is likely to be unsuccessful because the substitution effect from a wage decrease is negative in terms of hours of work. O C. may be successful or may be unsuccessful depending on whether the income effect or the substitution effect from a wage decrease dominates. O D. is likely to be successful because firms hire workers such that the wage rate equals the marginal cost of labor, and this approach reduces the marginal cost of labor by $2, increasing employment. O E. is likely to be successful because firms hire workers such that the marginal revenue product of labor equals the marginal cost of labor, and this approach reduces the marginal cost of labor by $2, increasing employment.

Gerhart & Newman (2020) discuss how compensation (pay) may be a measure of justice, i.e., gender, race, culture, etc. They further state that stockholders are interested in executive pay. Why does it matter, and how is it fixed? How risky are these decisions to employee retention?

Why do economists study sports teams when looking for evidence of labor-market discrimination?   Select one: a. because all four United States professional sports leagues (football, basketball, hockey, and baseball) require discrimination studies every five years b. because the salaries paid to professional athletes exhibit the superstar phenomenon, which is highly correlated with discrimination c. because nonwhites comprise a majority of starters for many professional sports teams d. because the wide availability of performance statistics allows economists to control for individual player productivity in ways that are difficult to do for other types of firms
