Real Profit per Worker in the Price-Setting Model
In an economy where the real wage is determined as a fixed share of the output produced per worker, consider a scenario where a widespread technological innovation increases the amount of output each worker can produce. If the proportional division of output between wages and firm profits remains unchanged, what is the most likely outcome for the real wage?
Policy Impact on Real Wages
In an economy where the aggregate real wage is determined as a constant share of the output per worker, imagine the government enacts new policies that significantly increase the level of competition among firms. Assuming the output per worker remains unchanged, what is the most likely impact on the aggregate real wage?
