(Based on Chapter 2, Problem 1 of Benjamin et al., 2031) Amit has $2000 of annual non-labour income. He has 80 hours per week that he can allocate between labour and leisure, for 80 x 52 = 4160 hours per year. His current wage rate is $20 per hour and he chooses to work 2200 hours a year. (a) Draw a leisure - labour diagram, clearly indicating Amit's current labour supply decision. (Your diagram should be clearly labeled and include Amit's budget line and an indifferent curve showing his leisure and consumption of goods and services at his optimal choice. Use the figures provided to find the y-intercept and his consumption if he doesn't work.) (b) Amit's wage rate increases to $25 per hour. In response, he increases his labour supply to 2300 hours. If he were "compensated" accordingly, at this new wage rate he would be just indifferent to working 2200 hours at his original wage rate and working 2400 hours at the new wage. Illustrate Amit's new optimal choice. Use the information…
In the labour-discipline model (LDM), the employer sets the wage to minimise the cost of effort. Using the LDM, illustrate and explain how a change in conditions affect the employee’s best response function (BRF) in the following scenarios: In relation to the hospitality sector (e.g. restaurant industry) in the US: a sharp increase in the pool of unemployed people due to a hiring freeze, combined with a rise in unemployment benefits.
What is a compensating wage differential? Discuss whether or not we observe such differentials in life. Further discuss, whether a compensating wage differential can actually “compensate” associated risks.
Income $560 $320 B 60 40 0 Work T Suppose this worker's union negotiates an increase in the straight-time wage from $8 to $9.33 per hour with no bonus for overtime. This plan would allow earnings of $560 at 60 hours per week. Assuming this worker can freely choose the number of hours worked, he will choose to work more than 60 hours per week. 60 hours per week. more than 60 hours per week if the income effect dominates; less otherwise. fewer than 60 hours per week.

Alternative explanations of wage disparities Suppose that a labour economist finds that one of her research subjects has earned significantly higher wages throughout his lifetime than would be predicted by standard measured variables. The economist also noted that each of the subject's positions was found through connections at his family's exclusive country club. Which one of the following most likely explains this person's unusually high earnings? a) Effort b) Compensating differentials c) Chance d) Efficiency wages Suppose that Frances receives higher pay at her workplace than her colleagues do, even though they perform essentially the same type of work. If Frances's productivity is about 25% higher than that of each of her colleagues, which of the following wage concepts can explain this wage disparity? Check all that apply. a) Efficiency wages b)The superstar phenomenon c) Discrimination d) Human capital e)…

When focusing on a married couple, one person’s non-labor income includes the laborearnings of his/her partner. Using a graph of budget constraints and indifference curves,describe what would happen to the labor supply of one spouse if the other experiences aninvoluntary job loss. Your answer does not depend on whether the spouse you’regraphing is initially supplying labor or not.
