  1. A2 Economics Wage Determination Lesson 2

  2. Aims and Objectives Aim: • To understand wage determination Objectives: • Explain economic rent and transfer earnings/ • Be able to draw economic rent and transfer earnings diagrams. • Analyse the football labour market.

  3. Starter • Define economic rent • Define transfer earnings

  4. Case Study: Premiership Footballers • Premiership footballers earn large economic rents. • Imagine what the next best job for Rio Ferdinand would be…. Rent=£109,750 pw Transfer Earnings£250 pw £110,000 pw

  5. Economic Rent and Transfer Earnings Total Earnings = OWQA Real Wage Rate/MRP S Economic Rent = WAB A W Transfer Earnings = OABQ B D=MRP O Q Quantity of Labour

  6. Inelastic Labour Supply Leads to High Levels of Economic Rent SI Real Wage Rate/MRP SE SI Economic Rent = A+B Transfer Earnings = C W SE Economic Rent = A Transfer Earnings = B+C A D=MRP B C O Q Quantity of Labour

  7. Rent and Transfer Earnings Under Extreme Elasticity Conditions Real Wage Rate S Real Wage Rate W1 S W1 Transfer Earnings Economic Rent D1=MRP D1=MRP Q Q Quantity of Labour Quantity of Labour Perfectly Inelastic Supply Perfectly Elastic Supply

  8. Economic Rent and Transfer Earnings • The amount of economic rent earned by individual workers will differ. • First worker would have been prepared to work for much less than the wage rate actually paid, so a high proportion of his earnings will be economic rent. • The last worker to be employed would have been prepared to work only for the given wage rate and so earns no economic rent.

  9. Case Study: Premiership Footballers • The proportion of earnings made up of economic rent depends on the elasticity of supply.

  10. Case Study: Premiership Footballers • Supply will be inelastic as if the changed the wage rate most footballers would continue to supply themselves. Real Wage Rate/MRP S W1 D=MRP O Q1 Quantity of Premiership Footballers
