Figure 1.12: Distribution of Output per Worker
Figure 1.12, titled 'Output per worker is shared between firms and employees', illustrates the distribution of productivity in the supply-side model. The vertical axis represents both the real wage (w) and the total output per worker (λ). Productivity (λ) is shown as a constant horizontal line, indicating it does not vary with employment. The diagram visually breaks down this total output, showing that it is divided into the worker's real wage (w) and the firm's profit per worker.

Figure 1.12: Distribution of Output per Worker
Core Production Assumptions of the Supply-Side Model
Consider an economic diagram where the horizontal axis measures the number of people employed and the vertical axis simultaneously represents two values: the real wage paid to workers and the total output produced per worker. What is the primary analytical purpose of structuring a graph in this specific way?
In the standard graphical framework used to visualize the economy's supply side, match each axis with the economic variables it is designed to measure.

Rationale for the Vertical Axis in a Supply-Side Diagram
In the graphical framework used to represent the economy's supply side, where employment is on the horizontal axis and output per worker is on the vertical axis, the line representing output per worker slopes upward, indicating that productivity increases as more people are employed.
In the standard graphical model used to analyze the supply side of an economy, the horizontal axis measures levels of employment and unemployment. The vertical axis serves a dual purpose, representing both the real wage paid to an employee and the total value of ____.
Imagine you are constructing a diagram to represent the supply side of an economy from scratch. Arrange the following steps in the logical order required to build the basic graphical framework.
Analyzing the Distribution of Output in the Supply-Side Model
In a standard diagram representing an economy's supply side, the vertical axis measures both the real wage and output per worker, while the horizontal axis measures employment. If a major technological innovation permanently increases the amount of output each worker can produce, how would this change be reflected in the diagram?
