Evaluating Economic Policies on Labor Markets
A country's government implements a set of reforms. One reform significantly increases competition among firms in the product market. Another reform strengthens the bargaining power of labor unions. Based on the wage-setting and price-setting framework, what is the most likely combined effect of these two reforms on the country's equilibrium real wage and natural rate of unemployment?
Explaining Favorable Labor Market Outcomes
In the wage-setting and price-setting framework, any government policy that leads to an increase in the equilibrium real wage will also necessarily lead to a decrease in the natural rate of unemployment.
Match each economic condition or policy to its most likely direct effect within the wage-setting and price-setting framework.
