- Need help ASAP, will give thumbs up: Consider an empirical wage equation of the form: log(W) = a + b(EDUC) + c(EXP) + d(EXPSQ) + u where the components are defined as: W = hourly wage rate log() is natural logarithmic function EDUC = completed years of school EXP = work experience EXPSQ = years of work experience squared (i.e. EXP times EXP) u = unobservable determinants of the hourly wage rate With data on the relevant variables for a sample of workers, the parameters a, b, c, and d can be estimated. QUESTION: What does human capital theory predict about the parameters of this wage equation? ANSWER CHOICES: b>0, c>0, d>0 b>0, c>0, d<0 b>0, c<0, d>0 b<0, c>0, d<0 b<0, c<0, d>0 AnswerDiscuss how empirical studies estimate the rate of return to schooling and the methods used to avoid the problem of ability bias.If someone takes a leave from the labor force for several years after having children and then they re-enter when their kids go to school, how will this tend to affect their returns to human capital? Group of answer choices This will flatten their age earnings profile as they miss out on salary growth from continuously working If they anticipated this they also likely stayed away from fast changing industries where the penalty for time out of the labor market it bigger. All three are likely true They miss out on collecting the education wage premium during the years they are out of the workforce.

When will Carl quit school if his discount rate is 14 percent? What if the discount rate is 9 percent?How does skill atrophy provide an explanation for differentiation in earnings?Show that the competitive labor market compensates workers for the probability that they will be laid off.
- Consider the following model of labour supply. There is a representative worker with the following utility function: U(C,L) = CªL²-a where U is utility, C is consumption, L is leisure, and a is a parameter that governs the importance of consumption to the worker's utility relative to leisure. a must satisfy 0 < a < 1. Consumption and Leisure are always positive (by definition) The budget constraint and time constraint are: C = wh + V h = T – L where w is hourly wage, and V is non-labour income, T is time endowment. Here, w,V and T are parameters. h is hours work a) Does the utility function exhibit the "the more the better" and "law of diminishing marginal utility" assumptions? Show it. b) Characterize the optimal leisure and consumption as functions of the parameters a, w, V and TWhat is two factors that may influence the shape of individuals’ indifference curves (flat or steep) which reflect their preferences for work or leisure? What is the difference between income effect and substitution effect under the basic work-leisure decision model?(Based on Chapter 2, Problem 1 of Benjamin et al., 2031) Amit has $2000 of annual non-labour income. He has 80 hours per week that he can allocate between labour and leisure, for 80 x 52 = 4160 hours per year. His current wage rate is $20 per hour and he chooses to work 2200 hours a year. (a) Draw a leisure - labour diagram, clearly indicating Amit's current labour supply decision. (Your diagram should be clearly labeled and include Amit's budget line and an indifferent curve showing his leisure and consumption of goods and services at his optimal choice. Use the figures provided to find the y-intercept and his consumption if he doesn't work.) (b) Amit's wage rate increases to $25 per hour. In response, he increases his labour supply to 2300 hours. If he were "compensated" accordingly, at this new wage rate he would be just indifferent to working 2200 hours at his original wage rate and working 2400 hours at the new wage. Illustrate Amit's new optimal choice. Use the information…
