Labour mobility refers to the ease with which workers can move between jobs either geographically or occupationally. Geographical mobility involves moving between jobs in different locations, while occupational mobility is moving between different jobs within an industry. Higher labour mobility leads to a convergence of wages across markets as workers move from low wage to high wage areas. However, in reality complete wage convergence does not occur due to barriers like a lack of information about other labour markets or difficulties transferring human capital between occupations.

Module 1 introduction to labour markets & labour market institution final
This document provides an introduction to labour markets and labour market institutions. It discusses the history of labour protection and labour movements. It also defines key concepts in labour economics like labour markets and labour market indicators. Furthermore, it outlines current debates on the relationship between labour market rigidity and unemployment. Specifically, it discusses whether labour market rigidity is truly to blame for high unemployment. Finally, it introduces the concept of "flexicurity," which aims to balance labour market flexibility with security for workers.
mobility of labour
Mobility of labour refers to the geographical and occupational movement of workers. There are three types of mobility: 1) Geographical mobility involves populations moving over time to find employment elsewhere, such as workers moving from one place to another. 2) Horizontal mobility is switching jobs but not changing social status, like moving from one factory to another. 3) Vertical mobility is movement to a higher social level or post, such as getting a promotion.
Labour Market Economics Revision Notes
1. The document discusses the marginal revenue product (MRP) theory of labour demand, which states that firms will demand labour up to the point where the marginal cost of an additional worker equals the marginal revenue product of that worker.
2. It provides examples to illustrate how marginal revenue product is calculated based on marginal physical product and output price. It also discusses how imperfect competition can impact marginal revenue product.
3. The document then discusses factors that can cause shifts in the demand for labour like changes in product demand, productivity, costs of employing workers, and technology. It also discusses the elasticity of labour demand.
Size and functional distribution of income
Economists have tried to explain how income is distributed by looking at both the size and functional distribution of income. The functional distribution divides national income according to the main sources of income - rents, profits/interest, and wages. It focuses on three social classes. However, by the late 19th century the lines between classes were blurring. The size distribution instead looks at inequality between individual income earners regardless of source, and can include those with multiple sources of income across different classes.
Specialization
Specialization, or the division of labor, involves splitting a production process into separate tasks and having each worker perform only one task. This increases productivity as workers focus on tasks they are best at and do not need to switch between tasks. Productivity further increases over time as workers learn faster ways to perform their single repetitive task through experience and training time is reduced. However, specialization can also lead to issues like repetitive motion disorders, loss of flexibility for workers, and greater dependency within the production process.
The labour market wage determination
This document summarizes factors that influence wage determination in labor markets, including supply and demand, trade unions, government intervention, and discrimination. Key points include:
- Supply and demand are primary determinants of wages, with wages rising or falling based on labor demand changes.
- Economic rent and transfer earnings also impact wages. Workers earn more economic rent the more inelastic the labor supply.
- Trade unions aim to increase member wages through collective bargaining, creating a new higher minimum supply curve. This raises wages but reduces employment.
- Government policies like minimum wage legislation and anti-discrimination laws also impact wages.
- Discrimination against groups lowers their wages below true market rates due to prejudices about their productivity
The Theory of Individual Labor Supply
The document discusses an economic model of individual labor supply. It introduces key concepts such as the work-leisure decision, indifference curves, budget constraints, and the income and substitution effects of wage changes. It explains how utility maximization occurs at the point where the budget constraint is tangent to the highest attainable indifference curve. The model can predict a backward-bending labor supply curve if the income effect dominates over the substitution effect at high wage rates. Empirical evidence suggests men's labor supply curves bend backward slightly while women's remain positive.
Causes of inflation
This document discusses various causes of inflation including demand-pull inflation and cost-push inflation. Demand-pull inflation occurs when demand increases and outstrips supply, forcing prices to rise. Cost-push inflation is caused by factors that increase the costs of production like rising wages, taxes, material costs and profit margins which are then passed onto consumers in the form of higher prices. Some examples provided include the 1970s OPEC oil embargo and 2012 Pakistan floods which constrained supply and led to price increases. Black money, disposable income, non-productive spending and population growth can also increase demand and cause inflation.

The Demand for Labor
The document discusses the demand for labor from the perspective of individual firms and the overall labor market. It explains that in the short-run, a firm's demand for labor (its marginal revenue product curve) depends on the marginal product of labor. In the long-run, when both capital and labor are variable, firms will substitute between the two inputs in response to wage changes. The market demand for labor is less elastic than the sum of individual firm demands, due to product price effects. The elasticity of labor demand depends on factors like the elasticity of product demand and the share of labor costs in total costs.
Wage structure chapter 8 and Distribution of Earnings national level Chapter 16
This document provides an overview of chapter 8 from an economics textbook on the wage structure. It discusses several key topics:
1. Sources of wage differentials arising from differences in jobs, employers, and workers. This includes compensating differentials for undesirable job attributes and skill differentials.
2. Efficiency wage theories where firms pay above-market wages to reduce shirking and turnover. This can lead to involuntary unemployment as the market clears at a wage above the equilibrium.
3. The hedonic theory of wages uses indifference curves and isoprofit curves to show how workers and firms optimize when matching based on wages and job attributes like safety. Workers trade off higher wages for less desirable job conditions.
Effective demand
Effective demand refers to the total demand for goods and services in an economy, which includes consumption demand and investment demand. According to Keynes, effective demand determines the level of output and employment in an economy. Effective demand is low in capitalist systems because savings increase as income rises, creating a "leakage" out of the system that must be filled by investment in order to maintain output and employment levels. The economy reaches equilibrium at the point where aggregate demand and aggregate supply curves intersect, but this equilibrium may occur at less than full employment if investment is insufficient to make up the gap between income and consumption. The government therefore has an important role in managing aggregate demand to minimize unemployment.
Income elasticity of demand
Income elasticity of demand is the degree of responsiveness of quantity demanded of a commodity due to change in consumer’s income, other things remaining constant. In other words, it measures by how much the quantity demanded changes with respect ot the change in income.
Unit 6 external influences on business activity ppt
The document discusses how governments aim to influence business activity and the economy through various economic objectives and policies. The key objectives for governments are low inflation, low unemployment, economic growth, and a balanced balance of payments. Governments use fiscal policy like taxes and spending, monetary policy involving interest rates, and supply-side policies to achieve these aims. They also regulate business activity to address undesirable impacts on society and the environment.
Measures to control inflation
The document discusses various types and measures to control inflation. It defines inflation as a continuous rise in price levels and identifies different types including open inflation where no control measures are taken, suppressed inflation where prices are controlled, wartime inflation to fund war expenses, and creeping inflation where prices rise slowly. Measures to control inflation include monetary policies like controlling money supply and credit, and fiscal policies like decreasing expenditures, increasing taxes, and encouraging production, savings, and proper investment. The document concludes with an example of hyperinflation in Zimbabwe in 2008 that reached 355,000% and severely damaged the economy.
Slide unemployment
Unemployment occurs when people who are willing and able to work are unable to find suitable jobs. The documents define key terms related to unemployment such as labor force, employed, and unemployed individuals. It also discusses different types of unemployment including frictional, structural, cyclical, seasonal, and hidden unemployment. The effects of unemployment are explored at the individual, social, and economic levels. Finally, expansionary fiscal and monetary policies are outlined as measures to help reduce unemployment.
Subsistence theory – wage theories - compensation management - Manu Melwin Joy
This theory propounded by the economists in the 18th century was later explained by David Ricardo.
This theory is based on two assumptions, namely,
(a) The law of diminishing return applies to industry.
(b) There is a rapid increase in population.

Labour market in india
The document discusses the labour market, defining it as the place where workers and employers interact to exchange labour services for wages. A labour market functions through the demand and supply of labour, with employers competing to hire workers and workers competing for jobs. Labour markets can be local, national, or international in scope. They are characterized by imperfect information, wage differentials, unemployment, and casual or informal labour. The document goes on to describe organized and unorganized labour markets in India, noting that most Indian labour comes from rural backgrounds and desires job security but not union participation.
Wage Determination and the Allocation of Labor
This document discusses theories of wage determination in labor markets including perfectly competitive labor markets, monopsony, and delayed supply responses. In a perfectly competitive labor market, the equilibrium wage and employment are determined by the intersection of supply and demand. A monopsony is a labor market with a single employer, which pays workers less than a competitive wage and hires fewer workers, resulting in inefficiency. Delayed supply responses in some professions can lead to cyclical "cobweb" adjustments as supply lags behind changing demand.
Difference between short run and long run
short run and long run
Short Run 1: a period of time that is not long enough to allow change to certain economic conditions that a decision maker may face.
Long Run 1: a period of time long enough for all important information and choices to be available to a decision maker
Price & Output Determination under Monopoly
The document discusses monopoly market structures. It defines a monopoly as a market with a single seller of a product without close substitutes. It notes that monopolies can arise through government protections, control of critical resources, or large capital requirements. The document then examines the characteristics of monopolies, including price setting behavior to maximize profits where marginal revenue equals marginal cost. It also explores various types of price discrimination strategies monopolies may use.
Employment and Unemployment
This document discusses key concepts related to employment and unemployment statistics. It defines employed and unemployed persons based on criteria from household surveys. It also defines and calculates the employment-population ratio and unemployment rate. The document discusses advantages and disadvantages of household surveys. It describes the stock-flow model of labor force transitions and how this impacts unemployment rates. It also defines types of unemployment including frictional, structural, and demand-deficient unemployment.
Labour economics
This document provides an introduction to labour economics. It discusses key concepts such as labour demand and supply, and how they interact in the labour market to determine equilibrium wage and quantity. Labour demand comes from firms and is affected by the wage rate, capital costs and output prices. Firms will maximize profits by hiring workers up to the point where marginal revenue product equals marginal factor cost. Labour supply depends on wages as well as income and substitution effects. The interaction of labour demand and supply curves results in the equilibrium wage and employment level in the market. Monopsony and factors like unions, minimum wages can impact the wage-employment relationship. Unemployment may occur if demand shifts leftward resulting in a surplus of workers.
The Labour Force
The document discusses key concepts related to a country's labor force and unemployment. It defines the labor force as those between 16-65 who are able and willing to work. Employment provides income and benefits well-being, while unemployment reduces standards of living and increases social burdens. Unemployment can be addressed by job creation incentives, training programs, and investing in labor-intensive industries. Different types of unemployment include seasonal, structural, technical, and frictional varieties.
Business Cycle presentation
This presentation is based on the business cycle as a whole and its effects in the employment, production, inflation as well as government interference.
Estimation Of Production And Cost Function
Estimation of production and cost functions involves collecting data, assuming a mathematical form for the functions, and using estimation methods like regression analysis to determine parameter values. While data collection can be difficult due to issues like measuring capital usage, functions like the Cobb-Douglas and quadratic forms are commonly used in empirical work due to their flexibility and ability to capture concepts like diminishing returns. Long-run cost functions estimated via regression analysis or engineering methods are used for investment planning to determine optimal scale.
Wages and Employment in Perfect Competition
This document discusses labor markets under perfect competition. It begins by defining marginal revenue product (MRP) as the productivity of a resource in producing a good or service times the market value of that good, and marginal factor cost (MFC) as the cost of employing a resource. It states that firms will hire resources as long as MRP exceeds MFC.
It then provides an example where the MRP of the first 5 workers exceeds their $6/hour MFC, so the firm would hire 5 workers. The document explains that under perfect competition, MRP represents the demand for labor and MFC represents the supply of labor. Determining how many resources to hire is done by comparing supply and demand. Over time
The Theory of Individual Labor Supply
The document discusses trends in labor force participation rates in the United States. It describes how Gary Becker expanded the standard work-leisure model to incorporate a household perspective and allow for multiple uses of time. Becker's model recognizes that households produce utility from both market goods purchased with labor income as well as household production using time.
The document then analyzes trends in U.S. population size, labor force participation rates, and hours worked over time. It finds that male participation rates have declined, especially for older males, due to factors like rising incomes, pensions, and disability benefits which encourage earlier retirement. In contrast, female participation has increased due to rising wages, changing social roles and preferences, and technological changes free
Direct vs indirect taxes
This document distinguishes between direct and indirect taxes. Direct taxes include income tax, corporation tax, capital gains tax, and capital transfer tax, which are paid by individuals and businesses directly. Indirect taxes are levied on the consumption of goods and services, through taxes like customs duty, excise duty, stamp duty, and sales/consumption taxes that are paid by manufacturers and importers and passed on to consumers. Examples are provided of calculating income tax, capital gains tax, customs duties, and excise taxes to illustrate how these different types of direct and indirect taxes are applied.
Methods of discharge/termination of contracts
This document discusses various methods by which contracts can be discharged or terminated, including performance, breach, agreement between parties, impossibility or frustration of purpose, lapse of time, death, and other methods such as bankruptcy, waiver, or merger into a new contract. It defines types of performance like partial, substantial, and complete, and categories of breach such as anticipatory and actual. In summary, it provides an overview of the key ways that contracts can no longer be enforced once obligations have been fulfilled or circumstances prevent fulfillment.

Economic Systems CAPE
The document discusses four main types of economic systems: traditional, command/planned, free market, and mixed. It defines each system, describes their key features such as motivation and ownership, and analyzes their advantages and disadvantages. Traditional systems are based on customs and subsistence production. Command economies involve centralized state planning and ownership. Free markets rely on private ownership and the mechanism of supply and demand. Mixed systems combine public and private aspects. Examples of each type are also provided.
The supply of land
Land is a naturally occurring resource that differs from capital and labor in that its overall supply cannot be increased to meet demand. While the total supply of land is fixed, the supply available for a specific use or industry is not, as land use can shift between agricultural, recreational, and residential depending on who offers the highest price. As the price paid for land increases, more land will be supplied for that particular use, resulting in an upward-sloping and elastic supply curve for land available to individual markets.
Shifts vs changes in slopes
A shift in a production possibility curve occurs when resources for both goods change, causing the entire curve to shift. A change in slope happens when resources for one good change, causing the maximum output of that good to increase or decrease while the other good's maximum remains the same, represented by a rotation of the curve. The document provides an example of Canada obtaining more corn from South America, allowing for increased tortilla production but unchanged oven output.
Measures to reduce income inequality
This document outlines several measures that could be used to reduce income inequality:
1) A progressive tax system where tax rates increase with income could generate government revenue to fund services for low-income groups like healthcare, housing, and education.
2) Transfer payments like child support and disability payments that are made without an exchange of services increase the income of underprivileged households.
3) Subsidies for education can promote equal access and increase graduation rates, helping to reduce future inequality.
Private sector intervention to correct market failure
The private sector uses four main measures to address market failures:
1. Corporate codes of conduct that set standards for product safety and quality as well as social and environmental issues to address information failures.
2. Corporate social responsibility programs that voluntarily reduce negative externalities and increase positive ones to improve social welfare.
3. Voluntary agreements with governments where firms commit to gradually reduce pollution emissions over time.
4. Corporate ethics codes that establish norms of behavior for employees to internalize external costs as private costs.
While these measures can improve welfare by reducing market failures, they also increase business costs, which may be passed onto consumers as higher prices.
Market failure explanation
Market failure occurs when the free market does not allocate resources efficiently to maximize societal welfare. It happens when the market output level does not coincide with where marginal social costs equal marginal social benefits. This means the market overproduces or underproduces a product compared to the efficient level where welfare is maximized. Market failure definitionally refers to situations where the allocation of resources by the market mechanism is inefficient.
Marginal costs and benefits private external and social
This document defines and compares private, external, and social marginal costs and benefits. Private marginal costs are costs to firms, reflected in supply curves. External marginal costs are borne by third parties not involved in the transaction. Social marginal cost is the total cost to society, which equals private marginal cost plus external marginal cost. Similarly, private marginal benefits accrue to consumers, external marginal benefits are enjoyed by third parties, and social marginal benefit is the total benefit to society.
Costs of poverty
This document outlines four key costs of poverty: 1) unemployed human resources as poverty leads to a lack of jobs and unemployed individuals, 2) lower potential output as unemployed individuals are unable to contribute to economic growth and GDP, 3) inefficient allocation of government expenditure as funds must be spent on welfare programs rather than productive investments, and 4) social and environmental costs such as increased crime, health issues, and environmental degradation as poverty exacerbates social problems.
Costs of production
This document defines and provides examples of different types of costs including fixed costs, variable costs, total costs, average costs, and marginal costs. Fixed costs remain constant regardless of production quantity, such as rent. Variable costs change with output level, like packaging. Total cost is the sum of fixed and variable costs. Average costs are calculated by dividing total costs by units of output. Marginal cost represents the change in total cost from producing one additional unit.
Sub-Accounts of the Balance of Payments
The document discusses the balance of payments of a country. It is a record of all economic transactions between a country and the rest of the world, including payments made (outflows) and received (inflows). The balance of payments has two main accounts - the current account, which records trade in goods and services, income, and transfers; and the capital account, which covers capital flows from private and government sources like foreign direct investment. When the current and capital accounts are not balanced, it affects a country's official foreign reserves.
Demand for money
This document discusses the three motives that drive individuals' demand for money: transactionary, precautionary, and speculative. Transactionary demand refers to money held for regular purchases and bills that are paid periodically but not simultaneously to when individuals are paid. Precautionary demand is money held for unforeseen life events. Speculative demand arises from hoping to profit from changes in bond prices, with higher interest rates reducing speculative money holding as bonds become more attractive. Overall, demand for money results from the combination of needs for transactions, precautions, and speculation.
Land as a factor of production
An outline of land including its definition, characteristics, types (or uses), importance and productivity.
Characteristics of market structures
Market structure refers to the characteristics that determine how firms in an industry behave, including the number of firms, type of product, control over price, and freedom of entry and exit. The number of firms ranges from many to few or one. Products can be standardized or differentiated in physical or perceived ways. Firms have varying levels of control over price depending on competition. Barriers to entry like licenses or high costs can impact the freedom firms have to enter or exit an industry.
Quality of life
The document defines quality of life according to the World Health Organization as an individual's perception of their position in life based on their culture, goals, and health. It is affected by physical and mental health, independence, social relationships, beliefs, and environment. The document then lists six key indicators that were identified with over 83% accuracy: 1) extent of security, 2) availability of health, education, and recreation facilities, 3) diet and nutrition, 4) life expectancy, 5) infant mortality rate, and 6) access to public utilities and technology. Examples are provided for each indicator explaining how it impacts an individual's quality of life.
Terms of sale
This document outlines several common terms of sale: cash payments involve immediate payment with various methods and are common for small purchases, while credit allows purchasing high-priced items by paying an additional interest charge over time. Hire purchase is similar to credit but the supplier retains ownership until full payment. Layaway allows reserving an item by making deposits until it's paid off without interest, and consignment involves a dealer selling goods for the supplier and only paying for what they sell.
Functions of retailing
Retailers provide outlets for manufacturers' products, hold stocks of goods to meet consumer demand, and make goods available to consumers in preferred quantities. They are located conveniently for consumers and provide advice, after-sales services, and feedback from consumers to manufacturers.
Characteristics of a successful entrepreneur
Successful entrepreneurs exhibit creativity by developing new ideas and concepts to solve problems or discover niche markets. They are also innovative in converting new ideas into successful products or services. Entrepreneurs must be flexible and multi-skilled to carry out various tasks across different business areas like human resources, accounting, and promotion. They are also goal-oriented in setting clear targets for themselves and employees to achieve the business aims. Entrepreneurs persevere through challenges by continuing their efforts in the face of adversity and rethinking ideas when businesses seem to be failing. They also take calculated risks by pursuing ventures only if costs and benefits analysis show potential for profit.
Functional areas of a business 2
The document outlines five main functional areas in business: finance, research and development, human resources, marketing, and production. It explains that companies organize into functional areas or departments to divide responsibilities and facilitate cooperation between areas. Specifically, it provides details on the typical responsibilities of the finance, human resources, marketing, production, and research and development functions.

Labour mobility and wages
- 1. Labour Mobility and Wages Prepared by Sandrea Butcher
- 2. What is labour mobility? This refers to the ease with which workers can move to different jobs.
- 3. Two types of labour mobility Geographical Occupational
- 4. Geographical Mobility A worker wants to move from Jamaica to Barbados to be a loans officer at a bank.
- 5. Geographical mobility involves switching from one job in a given location to a job in another location.
- 6. Occupational Mobility A computer programmer who chooses to be an accountant.
- 7. Occupational mobility occurs when a worker switches from one job in a particular industry to another.
- 8. Impact of mobility on wages
- 9. In situations where wages differ, labour would tend to move out of markets with lower wages into markets with higher wages. Higher wage Lower wage
- 10. The market with the higher wage would see an increase in supply because of migration, which will decrease the wage rate, especially if some workers are willing to offer their services at lower rates. W QL DL SL 1 SL 2 W1 W2
- 11. The market with the lower wage will see a reduction in supply and the wage rate will increase. This will happen until the wages converge in the different markets.
- 12. In reality this does not happen because of labour immobility. Labour does not move easily between markets maybe because of human capital or lack of information about labour markets. The wages will not converge when markets are not perfectly competitive, and wage differentials will exist.
