The income effect on labor supply is likely to be a. small because most people don't have the ability to change labor supply on the intensive margin b. large because most people can change labor supply on the intensive margin c. large because tax changes create significant labor supply changes at both the intensive and the extensive margin d. small because regulations prevent people from entering the labor force
If the tax elasticity of labor supply is 0.24, by what percentage will the quantity of labor supplied increase in response to a. a $500 per person income tax rebate?multiple choice A 4.8 percent increase A 1.2 percent increase No increase A 2.4 percent increase b. a 9 percent reduction in marginal tax rates? %
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? Explain
If older workers have a tax elasticity of labor supply equal to 0.25, by how much will their work activity decline when they reach the Social Security earnings test limit? (Recall that the Social Security earnings test limit is 50 percent. Assume explicit taxes of 20 percent below that limit. Use the midpoint method.) Instructions: Enter your response as a positive percent rounded to one decimal place. Do not include a negative sign (-) with your answer.
The 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.)
Minimum Wages and Unions Assume an industry without legal minimum wages and unions. Show in a diagram how the equilibrium wage W* is determined, and briefly explain all the concepts in the diagram. Now suppose a minimum wage, WMIN, is legislated at a level lower than W*, i.e. WMIN<W*. Show it in the diagram and explain whether the labour market outcomes in part a. change, and how. Now suppose a minimum wage is legislated at a level higher than W*, i.e. WMIN>W*. Show it in the diagram and explain what the labour market outcomes will be. Now suppose a workers’ union is created and successfully negotiates wage WUNION, which is above both W* and WMIN, i.e. WUNION>WMIN>W*. Explain what the labour market outcomes will be compared to the previous part.
Suppose that for every hour worked in the labour market, single mothers use an hour of childcare, and the hourly childcare cost is π pounds. The members of Parliament are interested in evaluating the impact of two different policies: Policy 1: provides single mothers with a lump sum benefit. Policy 2: provides single mothers with a fixed tax cut for every pound earned. What are the impacts of these two policies on labour supply (hours worked and participation rates) of single mothers in the UK (United Kingdom)? Do you expect the impact of these two policies to be different? Why? (400 words)
Can you let me know if i got these correct. thanks

Referred to the above graph of the labor market. The government decides to impose a wage tax as shown on the graph. If the number of workers hired after the imposition of the tax is 800 then the total amount of tax is $___
MCQ 1 Consider a competitive labour market in which the current equilibrium wage is £10 per hour. If the government imposes a minimum wage of £8 per hour, in this market we would expect to observe: A a fall in the wage and an increase in the demand for labour a rise in the wage and a fall in the demand for labour C a rise in the wage, but the change in the demand for labour can't be detemined from the information provided D no change in the wage and no change in the demand for labour a fall in the wage, but the change in the demand for labour can't be determined from the information provided I do not want to answer this question.
