Draw the union indifference curves for the following situations.
a. Wages and employment are perfect one-for-two substitutes (the union is willing to give up one unit of wage for two units of employment).
b. Wages and employment are perfect one-for-two complements (the union strongly demands one unit of wage and two units of employment together).
c. As their wealth increases, union prefers more job security to real income gains.
d. There is a minimum wage below which union will not reduce its wages in order to increase employment.

1. Suppose Oreos and Hydrox are perfect substitutes, one for one (Hydrox were chocolate cookies with vanilla filling that stood up better in milk than Oreos.). If Oreos currently sell for 50 cents and Hydrox sell for 75 cents, use both graphs and words to explain income and substitution effects that occur when the price of Oreos to rise to $1.

4. Suppose jobs vary along two dimensions: wages and noise, and that all workers dislike noise but vary in their distaste for it. Assume that the combinations of wages and noise for which firms' profits are zero are given by the equation W- 5 +.1N (for 0SN 100) where W is the wage in dollars per hour and Nis the noise the worker is subjected to, in decibels. Also, assume at the jobsite of any firm that spends nothing on...

Consider a production process that uses two factors, capital and labor, which are perfect compliments… one machine and four workers are needed to produce each unit. The firm wishes to produce 100 units of output per week. The cost of capital, r , is $100 per machine per week and the wages, w of workers is $300 per week. One day the machines rise up against their human overlords and refuse to work at less than $900 per week. Solve...

For Gareth, food is always an ordinary good where more is better; however, coffee...
