Labor economics: problem 5.2 Consider the demand for and supply of risky jobs : a. Derive the algebra that leads from equations (5.4) and (5.5) to equation (5.6). (5.4) π0=pα0E*- w0 E* (5.5) π1=pα1E*- w1 E* It is given that a profit-maximizing firm offers a risky environment if π1>π0 (when the profits the firm can earn when it chooses to be a risky firm exceed the profits the firm can earn when it chooses to be a safe firm) and a profit-maximizing firm offers a safe environment if π1<π0

state – that is when; demand and supply are balanced. The below graph illustrate the state of market equilibrium by showing the demand and supply curves with the point at which they are intersect one another – at the point of intersection of the two curves is when and where market equilibrium happens.

marks] Suppose the expected market demand for tickets to the Australian Open golf tournament to be held in Queensland in November is given by D = 40,000 -1,000P and the supply of tickets is S = 20,000. Tickets for a golfing tournament have negligible Marginal cost. Hence supply will be Perfectly Elastic. This means that 20 000 tickets will be supplied regardless of demand Demand = (40,000 – 1,000 * Ticket Price) tickets Supply = (20,000 + 0*Ticket Price) tickets

Yes because a change in price results in a change in demand and we know that demand determines the price and vice versa. Complete the
