At the core
of the labour market is the three-dimensional production function that employs
capital and labour as inputs to produce goods and services. This applet visualises one specific
type of production function, the so-called Cobb-Douglas
function, and lets you interact - by changing parameter
values and rotating the graph to let you look at it from different
angles.
The standard
graph routinely used to represent and discuss the labour market
is displayed in two dimensions. This animation shows how to
extract a 2D partial production function from
a 3D production function.
This applet
features the basic labour market model. Guided
exercises let you experience how labour demand
is related to profit maximization by firms, how labour
supply derves from trade union utility maximization,
ahd how voluntary differs from involuntary
unemployment.
A very compact
explanation of the labour demand curve. It
discusses the derivation of the labour demand curve from the
partial production function, supported by an animated
display.
A viewlet-based
test of your labour market expertise, focussing
on your ability to see how real world events bear on labour
supply and demand curves.
A very compact
explanation of the labour supply curve. It
first looks at individual households, then
at collective behaviour articulated by trade unions.
