Impact of Urban Transit Expansion on Labor Markets
Analyze the likely effects of this transit expansion on the equilibrium real wage and the distribution of income between workers and firms in the region. In your answer, you must explain the specific shifts, if any, in both the wage-setting (WS) and price-setting (PS) curves.

Non-Compete Clauses as a Tool for Monopsony Power
A government enacts a new law that bans the use of non-compete clauses in employment contracts, making it easier for workers to switch to higher-paying jobs at rival firms. Based on the wage-setting (WS) and price-setting (PS) model, what is the most likely consequence of this policy on the labor market equilibrium?
Labor Market Power and Wage Determination
A significant decline in the market power of firms, such as through the breakup of a large employer in a 'company town', leads to a higher equilibrium real wage. This outcome occurs because the reduced ability of firms to suppress wages causes an upward shift in the wage-setting curve, while the price-setting curve, which is determined by the firm's markup over costs, remains unaffected.
