6. How would each of the following affect Helena's labour supply decision? Be specific on what happens to her individual labour supply curve. Remember to mention income effect and substitution effect. a) The value of Helena's home triples in an unexpected hot real estate market. b) Originally an unskilled worker, Helena acquires skills that give her access to a higher-paying job. c) A temporary income tax surcharge raises the percentage of her income that she must pay in taxes.

Pierre values consuming goods (C) and enjoying leisure (l). Pierre has h = 1 units of time to divide between working and enjoying leisure. For each hour worked, he receives w = 1 units of the consumption good. Suppose that Pierre’s preferences are described by the the utility function U(C, l) = C 2/3 l 1/3 . Pierre also owns shares in a factory which gives him an additional π = 0.125 units of income. The government in this economy...

Problem Set 1 Due Date: Wednesday, January 25,2017 1. Consider the following demand function of an individual for good 1: where p" p2, ps are the prices of good 12, and 3, respectively, and Y represents the income the individual. Suppose good 1 and 2 are substitutes while good 1 and 3 are complements. (a) Describe in words what B,,B,, B, and B, measure.

Question 1: People decide how to “budget” their time in much the same way that they decide how to budget for different goods. Each person decides how much they “value” their leisure time versus their work time. The more people work, the more they tend to value their remaining leisure time. This is the justification for paying overtime to people working over 40 hours per week. a. How might we model this trade-off economically using the basic labor supply model...

5. Welfare effects of a tariff in a small country Suppose Colombia is open to free trade in the world market for soybeans. Because of Colombia's small size, the demand for and supply of soybeans in Colombia do not affect the world price. The following graph shows the domestic soybeans market in Colombia. The world price of soybeans is Pw =$400 per ton. On the following graph, use the green triangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing consumer's surplus...

Suppose Bolivia is open to free trade in the world market for
wheat. Because of Bolivia’s small size, the demand for and supply
of wheat in Bolivia do not affect the world price. The following
graph shows the domestic wheat market in Bolivia. The world price
of wheat is PWPW = $250 per ton.
On the following graph, use the green triangle (triangle
