- How do quits and layoffs help improve labor market efficiency?arrow_forwardYou're advising a democratic government, and the leaders ask you about what kind of labor market regulations it should consider. Its only goal--I really mean only!--is to keep the unemployment rate as low as possible. It's considering a law that would make it expensive to fire workers, in order to reduce the number of workers entering the pool of the unemployed. According to labor search theory, what effect would this have on the job separation rate? On the job hiring rate? On the average (or steady-state) unemployment rate?

- Suppose that the government introduces an EITC such that for the first $8,000 in earnings, the government pays 50¢ per dollar on wages earned. For the next $3,000 of earnings, the credit is held constant at $4,000, and after that point, the credit is reduced at a rate of 20¢ per dollar earned. When the credit reaches zero, there is no additional EITC. Furthermore assume a worker who can work up to 4,000 hours per year at an hourly wage of $10 per hour. 1.
