Consider an economy with two sectors: manufacturing and services. Demand for labor in manufacturing and services are described b

y these equations: Lm=1301–21Wm Ls=1221–23Ws where L is labor (in number of workers), W is the wage (in pesos), and the subscripts denote the sector. The economy has 505 workers who are willing and able to work in either sector. a. If workers are free to move between sectors what relationship will there be between Wm and Ws
b. Suppose that the condition in part a holds and wages adjust to equilibrate labor supply and labor demand. Calculate the wage and employment in each sector.

c. Suppose a union establishes itself in manufacturing and pushes manufacturing wage to 25. Calculate employment in manufacturing.

d. In the aftermath of the unionization of manufacturing, all workers who cannot get the highly paid union jobs move to the service sector. Calculate the wage and employment in services

e. Now suppose that workers have a reservation wage of 15 dollars= that is, rather than taking a job at a wage below 15 dollars, they would rather wait for a 25 dollar union job to open up. Calculate the wage and employment in each sector. What is the economy’s unemployment rate?

Answer:

a) Wm=Ws

b) W= 45.85pesos

Ls= 167, Lm=338

c) Lm= 776

d) Ls= 505, Ws= 31.13

e) zero unemployment rate

Explanation:

In parts e the currency mentioned in dollars. Lets assume dollars=pesos

a) if workers are free to move between sectors then there must be equal wages in each sector

b) Let W=Wm=Ws

Lm=1301-21W  -------- eq 1

Ls+Lm=505  --------- eq 2

Ls=1221 -23W -------- eq 3

Substitute eq 1 ans eq 3 in eq 2

1301-21W+ 1221-23W=505

W= 45.84 pesos

Ls= 167

Lm= 338

c) Lm= 1301-21Wm

Lm= 1301-21(25)

Lm= 776

There is a capacity for 271 excess labor at 25 pesos wage

d) suppose all of 505 workers couldn't get highly paid union jobs and have to move to services sector

Ls= 1221-23Ws

505= 1221-23Ws

Ws= 31.13 pesos

e) Since labor could get wages of above 15dollars or pesos in both the sectors, there is zero unemployment in the economy

If purchasing power parity holds, when a country's central bank decreases the money supply, its:_____.
polet [3.4K]

If purchasing power parity holds, when a country's central bank decreases the money supply, its <u>If purchasing power parity holds, when a country's central bank decreases the money supply, its price level (rises/falls) and its currency (appreciates/depreciates) relative to other currencies in the world. </u>

A theory of exchange rate determination and a means to compare average prices of goods and services between nations is purchasing power parity (PPP).

According to the hypothesis, fluctuations in the spot exchange rate are caused by importers' and exporters' actions, which are prompted by variations in prices across nations.

Alternatively, PPP contends that changes to a nation's current account may have an impact on the value of the currency's exchange rate on the foreign exchange (Forex) market.

In contrast, the interest rate parity theory postulates that fluctuations in the exchange rate are caused by investor actions (whose transactions are reported on the capital account).

The "law of one price" as it pertains to the overall economy is the foundation of PPP theory.

Hence, option A and D is correct.

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

<u>THEORY X</u> managers subscribe to the traditional view of direction and control of subordinates, who they see as indolent and lazy, whereas <u>THEORY Y</u> managers naturally take the opposite view of workers, seeing them as willing and eager to be productive.

Explanation:

Douglas McGregor developed the theory X and Y management models in the late 1950s.

Theory X managers have a fairly negative view of their employees (and probably humanity as a whole), and they consider them lazy, with very little personal ambition and motivation, and that they work only for their paycheck. They believe that strict supervision and a system of rewards and payments is the best management model.

On the other hand, theory Y managers have a much more positive view of their employees (and humanity as a whole), they consider them responsible, capable of making good decisions, are internally motivated to work better, and not just because they want to earn a paycheck. They emphasis on job satisfaction and less supervision.

Suppose we observe that as the price of lettuce increases from $1 to $2 per head, consumers buy only half the number of heads of
alex41 [277]

Answer:

C. A decrease in the quantity demanded

Explanation:

Price Elasiticity

The law of demand and supply would usually hold that an increase in prices will result in a decrease in demand. Furthermore, an increase in demand generates a corresponding increasing in supply as well.

<u>When the demand of a product is sensitive to the changes in price, then we say that price of the product is elastic</u> but if the product demand not strongly influenced  by price then we say that the pricing is inelastic.

In the case of the lettuce, we can say that the price is elastic, because there is a sensitive reaction between an increase in price from $1 to $2 which immediately leads to a halfing of the quantity demanded. The price is elastic such that an increase in price leads to a decrease in quantity demanded.
