APFIVE Minimum Wage and Employment in a Monopsony
How would an effective binding minimum wage impact employment levels when compared with an unregulated monopsonistic market?
A
Employment levels would invariably fall because all price floors create surpluses that reduce demand for labor.
B
Employment levels could rise if the minimum wage is set between the current monopsonistic wage and the competitive equilibrium wage.
C
Employment levels cannot be determined without knowledge about price elasticity of demand for products produced by workers.
D
Employment levels remain constant because workers are paid at least their marginal revenue product regardless of regulations.
