This question explores how a wage subsidy like the EITC impacts the labor market. Suppose that labor demand is described by w =
17 – 2L and labor supply is described by Ls = w - 5. Find the equilibrium wage.
The exact size of the EITC varies from state and state and depends on how many children you have but on average it
$3/hour extra on top of the market wage. You can model this like a tax so the wage in the supply curve is now $3 more than the wage
in the demand curve.

Change in Demand Determinants: While supply-side factors played a significant role in the "perfect storm," changes in the demand for final crop products also contributed to the situation. As previously mentioned, the demand for fertilizer is derived from the demand for the crops that farmers grow. The weather-related disruptions to the fertilizer supply chain, along with increased demand for US crop products (as mentioned in the People's Republic of China scenario), could have led to a situation where farmers wanted more fertilizer to compensate for potential yield losses.

Technological innovation in the manufacturing sector will not reduce the number of manufacturing jobs because innovation always creates new jobs. Automation could lead to some workers being permanently unemployed despite the fact that innovation S creates new jobs. Automation of some jobs may lead to the creation of new jobs. Technological innovation in one sector (e.g. car manufacturing) could lead to new jobs in that sector or in other sectors. Automation could lead to some workers being permanently unemployed if their current skills become obsolete and they fail to upskill themselves.arrow_forward12.
