association. This association refunds neighbourhood dues to
selected home owners who do a particularly nice job of beautifying

home owners voted to end this practice because they felt that it
was unfair that some people would not have to pay their share of
the costs of maintaining the neighbourhood. What is likely to
happen to the overall level of neighbourhood...
Suppose the economy consists of a union and nonunion sector. The
labor demand curve in each sector is given by L =1,000,000−20w. The
total (economy wide) supply of labor is 1,000,000 (500K in each
sector) and it does not depend upon the wage. All workers are
equally skilled and equally suited for work in either sector.
(a) If a competitive labor market existed in each sector, how
many would work in each sector? What would be the wage in each...

“What incentive is there, then, to pay your dues?” the
plaintiff’s attorney asked the jury. “We want the most experienced
people on the streets.” How would you decide the case, if you were
on this jury? What is your own judgment of Avigliano’s “hard
choice?” Do you view his rationale for laying off older workers as
“bad public policy” or the least harmful choice in light of
economic pressures

framework, briefly discuss the effect of the competition law on a

discussion should include effects on the labor market as well as
prices and output. You may find a graph or...
