What factors might account for such a curve

Reference no: EM13207294

Consider a firm that faces an upward sloping labor supply curve.

a.) What factors might account for such a curve?
b.) If the firm faces a horizontal supply curve of labor at W*, how would it determine E*, the equilibrium level of of employment?
c.) Since it is an upward sloping curve, it will not pick E*. How will it decide how much labor to employ, and how will the equilibrium level of employment (E**) compare with E*? Explain the reason for the difference between E* and E**
