Determinants Shifting the Price-Setting Curve
According to the Wage-Setting/Price-Setting (WS-PS) model, the real wage defined by the Price-Setting (PS) curve is influenced by specific economic factors. The model posits that an increase in these determinants will cause the PS curve to shift downward, leading to a lower real wage at any given level of employment.

Stagnant Labor Productivity in the UK (c. 2020-2024)
Consider an economy where two events occur simultaneously: (1) The government enacts new regulations that significantly weaken anti-monopoly laws, allowing firms to gain more market power. (2) A major technological breakthrough leads to a substantial increase in the average output per worker. What is the most likely net effect on the position of the price-setting curve?
Impact of Competition Policy on Real Wages
Impact of Market Competition on the Price-Setting Curve
A nationwide improvement in infrastructure and technology leads to a significant increase in the average output per worker. According to the price-setting model, this development will cause the price-setting curve to shift downward, thereby reducing the real wage that firms are willing to offer at any level of employment.
