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 A Country B WA SA SA WB Se SB d e g PB a b LA LB What is the effect of this migration on the welfare of factors other than workers in Country A?

Economics: Labor Economics Question: 1 Migration is expected to occur if movement between two markets is frictionless unless: A. Value of Marginal Product (VMPe) is equal in both markets B. Their populations are equal C. They have the same labor demand function D. Total gains from trade are equal across both markets   Question: 2 The market wage increases by 8%. In response the firm reduces its employment by 5%. What is the elasticity of labor demand? Show your work. Is the demand for labor elastic or inelastic? What do you think will happen to this coefficient in the long run?   Thank you for your support and help Training Agent!
