Perfectly Competitive Labor Market Resource Markets Perfect Competition Monopsony Perfectly Competitive Labor Market Characteristics: Many small firms are hiring workers No one firm is large enough to manipulate the market. Many workers with identical skills Wage is constant Workers are wage takers Firms can hire as many workers as they want at a wage set by the industry 4

Perfectly Competitive Labor Market and Firm SL Wage Wage ? $10 DL Q Q 5000 Firm Industry

Resource Demand Example 1: Example 2: Derived Demand- If there was a significant increase in the demand for pizza, how would this affect the demand for cheese? Cows? Milking Machines? Veterinarians? Vet Schools? Etc. Example 2: An increase in the demand for cars increases the demand for… Derived Demand- The demand for resources is determined (derived) by the products they help produce. 6

Marginal Resource Cost (MRC) The additional cost of an additional resource (worker). In perfectly competitive labor markets the MRC equals the wage set by the market and is constant. Ex: The MRC of an unskilled worker is $8.75. Another way to calculate MRC is: Marginal Resource Cost = Change in Total Cost Inputs

Marginal Revenue Product The additional revenue generated by an additional worker (resource). In perfectly competitive product markets the MRP equals the marginal product of the resource times the price of the product. Ex: If the Marginal Product of the 3rd worker is 5 and the price of the good is constant at $20 the MRP is……. $100 Another way to calculate MRP is: Marginal Revenue Product = Change in Total Revenue Inputs

MRP = MRC Continue to hire until… How do you know how many resources (workers) to employ? Continue to hire until… MRP = MRC

Workers have trade-off between work and leisure DEMAND RE-DEFINED What is Demand for Labor? Demand is the different quantities of workers that businesses are willing and able to hire at different wages. What is the Law of Demand for Labor? There is an INVERSE relationship between wage and quantity of labor demanded. What is Supply for Labor? Supply is the different quantities of individuals that are willing and able to sell their labor at different wages. What is the Law of Supply for Labor? There is a DIRECT (or positive) relationship between wage and quantity of labor supplied. Workers have trade-off between work and leisure 13

Who demands labor? FIRMS demand labor. Demand for labor shows the quantities of workers that firms will hire at different wage rates. Market Demand for Labor is the sum of each firm’s MRP. As wage falls, Qd increases. As wage increases, Qd falls. Wage DL Quantity of Workers 15

Who supplies labor? Individuals supply labor. Supply of labor is the number of workers that are willing to work at different wage rates. Higher wages give workers incentives to leave other industries or give up leisure activities. Labor Supply Wage As wage increases, Qs increases. As wage decreases, Qs decreases. Quantity of Workers 16

Equilibrium Wage (the price of labor) is set by the market. EX: Supply and Demand for Carpenters Wage Labor Supply $30hr Labor Demand = MRP Quantity of Workers 17

Individual Firms Wage SL=MRC DL=MRP Qe Q 18

Example: You hire workers to mow lawns. The wage for each worker is set at $100 a day. Each lawn mowed earns your firm $50. If you hire one work, he can mow 4 laws per day. If you hire two workers, they can mow 5 lawns per day together. What is the MRC for each worker? What is the first worker’s MRP? What is the second worker’s MRP? How many workers will you hire? How much are you willing to pay the first worker? How much will you actually pay the first worker? What must happen to the wage in the market for you to hire the second worker? $200 $50 $200 (Up to the amount he generates) $50 (The wage set by the market) 19

To maximize profit how many workers should you hire? You’re the Boss You and your partner own a business. Assume the you are selling the goods in a perfectly competitive PRODUCT market so the price is constant at $10. Assume that you are hiring workers in a perfectly competitive RESOURCE market so the wage is constant at $20. Also assume the wage is the ONLY cost. To maximize profit how many workers should you hire? 20

Use the following data: How much is each worker worth? Price = $10 Wage = $20 Total Product (Output) Workers 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 7 17 24 27 29 30 *Hint* How much is each worker worth? 21

Use the following data: Price = $10 Wage = $20 Total Product (Output) Units of Labor 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 7 17 24 27 29 30 What is happening to Total Product? Why does this occur? Where are the three stages? 22

Use the following data: Price = $10 Wage = $20 Total Product (Output) Marginal Product (MP) Units of Labor 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 7 17 24 27 29 30 - 7 10 3 2 1 -3 This shows the PRODUCTIVITY of each worker. Why does productivity decrease? 23

Use the following data: Price = $10 Wage = $20 Total Product (Output) Marginal Product (MP) Units of Labor Product Price 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 7 17 24 27 29 30 - 7 10 3 2 1 -3 10 Price constant because we are in a perfectly competitive market. 24

Use the following data: Price = $10 Wage = $20 Total Product (Output) Marginal Product (MP) Marginal Revenue Product Units of Labor Product Price 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 7 17 24 27 29 30 - 7 10 3 2 1 -3 10 70 100 30 20 10 -30 This shows how much each worker is worth 25

How many workers should you hire? Use the following data: Price = $10 Wage = $20 Total Product (Output) Marginal Product (MP) Marginal Revenue Product Marginal Resource Cost Units of Labor Product Price 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 7 17 24 27 29 30 - 7 10 3 2 1 -3 10 70 100 30 20 10 -30 20 How many workers should you hire? 26
