单项选择题
An analyst does research about the minimum wage and its impact on unemployment. If the government increases the minimum wage below the equilibrium wage, which of the following is most accurate about the change in the level of unemployment()
A. Decrease.
B. Remain the same.
C. Increase.
答案
参考答案:B
解析:
最小工资法案可以被看作价格底(price floor)的例子,但一定是在均衡价格之上,这样会增加劳动力的供给,减少劳动力的需求,导致更高失业率。题目中,最小工资水平是低于均衡工资的,而该价格管制对均衡工资和劳动力的供给与需求不产生影响,失业率不会发生变化。
