Government Subsidies in a Monopsony Market

Mark
< Prev
Next >

Which of the following is a potential consequence of a government implementing targeted subsidies to mitigate the effects of monopsony power in a labor market with significant wage differentiation?

A

This may result in exacerbated income inequality as workers receive disparate subsidy amounts based on sector employment.

B

Subsidies are likely to generate minimal changes given that monopsonists already possess marked control over wage setting, limiting the effectiveness of such interventions.

C

Subsidies can eventually lead to greater monopolistic tendencies within the labor market as companies expand and consolidate further exercising control over wages.

D

This could create an artificial floor on wages, increasing employment levels above the monopsony outcome yet potentially inducing labor shortages in specific sectors.
