Suppose that the demand for labor by firms is given by L = 1000 - 100W and the supply of labor from workers is given by L = -400 + 100W, where L represents the number of workers and W is the wage in this labor market.
a. What are the equilibrium levels of W and L in this labor market?
b. Suppose the government imposes an income tx of 25% on workers. The workers aftertax wage, W(w), will then be equal to the wage paid by firms, W(), times (1-t). What will the new equilibrium levesl for W(f), W(w), and L be in this labor market?
c. What is the governments tax revenu and the deadweight loss from the income tax?
