a) amount of hours a week to be split between market-labor and home-labor. Assume that A can make $20 of market goods per week and $10 household goods per week; assume B can make $10 of market goods per week and $20 of household goods per week. Graphically depict a situation where, upon marriage, B specializes in the production of one good and A splits their time between market and home labor. (Clearly identify the intercepts and kink in their collective production possibilities curve.)
(b) Assume A is a man and B is a woman. We know that the participation rates for men have been decreasing, while at the same time they have increased for women over the 20th C. Assume that the household starts with each individual specializing in the production of different goods. Graphical depict how an increase in the market-labor wage of B could increase her supply of labor (to the market).
(c) In the scenario of part (b), according to your answer, is it possible for the supply of labor (to the market) for men to increase?
