Which of the following are the market conditions necessary for the superstar phenomenon to arise? Every customer in the market wants to enjoy the goods supplied by the best producer. The good is produced with a technology that allows the best producer to supply every customer at a low cost. Companies need to have a lot of capital to make the superstar phenomenon work. There must be a huge difference in the ability between the superstar and other competing workers in the market

Will cause a shift in the demand for labor Will cause a shift in the supply of labor Will cause a shift in both the demand for labor and supply of labor Will not result in a curve shifting A professional cooking tool is invented that reduces the number of chefs required to produce many dishes. The amount of training required to work as a chef increases. Wages for chefs increase. Answer Bank
The table below shows the quantity demanded and supplied at various wage rates for a competitive market. Wage Rate Quantity of Workers Demanded Quantity of Workers Supplied $100 5 50 90 10 45 80 20 40 70 35 35 60 50 30 If the workers form a union and negotiate a weekly wage of $90, how many workers will be supplied and demanded? Multiple Choice The quantity demand will be 10 and the quantity supplied will be 35. The quantity demanded will be 10 and the quantity supplied will be 45. The quantity demand and supplied will both be 35. The quantity demanded will be 35 and the quantity supplied will be 45.
Suppose that Zamboni Enterprises is the only company that sells zambonis (ice resurfacing machines). To produce the machines, the company hires assembly workers. Since these workers can work in many different companies, Zamboni Enterprises must pay them the market wage, which is equal to $6. The number of zambonis that the company produces, which is denoted by y, is proportional to the number of assembly workers that it hires, which are denoted by N; in particular, the production function is given by y=0.76N. The economywide demand for zambonis is given by the following demand function: y=2191-219p, where y is the number of zambonis that consumers are willing to purchase at price p. Given this market structure, how many assembly workers will Zamboni Enterprises choose to hire? How many zambonis will Zamboni Enterprises produce and sell?

Consider the labour markets for skilled labour and unskilled labour. The labour demand curve for skilled workers is given by w = e(150 - 5L)/100. The labour demand curve for unskilled workers is w = 50 - 2L. The labour supply for each of the two labour markets is given by L = 20. The effort of firm's skilled workers depends on their wage according to the following schedule: wage (w) 20 25 30 35 40 45 Effort (e) 16 24 30 34 36 36 a) Calculate the equilibrium employment, unemployment, and wage for unskilled workers. b) Calculate the profit-maximizing contract (w,e). c) Calculate the equilibrium employment, unemployment, and wage for skilled workers. d) In a single labeled graph in (w - L), illustrate the labour market equilibria for skilled and unskilled workers. e) Calculate the cumulative income distribution for each labour market by reporting the cumulative shares for the following percentiles: 50% and 100%. f) In a single graph, construct the Lorenz curve representing labour…
Which of the following is not true? Multiple Choice The demand for labor for a firm selling in a purely competitive product market is less elastic than the demand for labor for the firm selling under imperfect competition in the product market. All of the other answers are true. The supply of labor for the firm hiring under purely competitive conditions is more elastic than the supply of labor for the firm hiring under imperfectly competitive conditions. The long-run demand curve for labor is more elastic than the short-run demand curve for labor. The market demand curve for labor is more inelastic than the firm's demand curve for labor.

One of these four answers could cause the demand curve for labor to shift to the right. Which one? Group of answer choices a decrease in the firm's product price an increase in demand for the firm's product a decrease in labor productivity an increase in the wage rate
Two firms compete for hiring workers in the labour market.The equilibrium wage is w = alpha + beta(H1 + H2), where alpha, beta; > 0 are parameters,and Hi is the number of workers hired by firm i = 1; 2. Firm i's profit is(y - w) Hi, where y is the output per worker. Assume y > alpha . Firm i choosesHi to maximize its profit. Do the following: (a) Consider the two firms decideon Hi simultaneously. Derive the Nash equilibrium. (b) Consider the twofirms make decisions sequentially. Firm 1 gets to hire first, followed by firm2. Derive the subgame perfect equilibrium
In a competitive labor market, employers will not pay less than the market wage because at a wage below the equilibrium A) the equilibrium wage would rise B) they would not be able to hire anyone C) there would be a surplus of workers D) they would be inundated with excess workers
