Suppose you compare a monopsony to a perfectly competitive market. Which group of agents is worse off in monopsony?
A: All workers
B: Only workers who no longer have jobs
C: Only workers who still have jobs
D: Everyone is better off
Homework Answers
(A) All workers
The reason is the monopsony hires fewer workers and pays a lower
wage. This results because market control by monopsony does not
generate equality between marginal revenue product and factor
price. Imposing a minimum wage on this market can actually counter
this inefficiency.
