2 Assumptions Question 1.1 (Agenda Where does labor demand function come from? Watanabe Econ B PMP 4 / 57 Assumptions Recall that labor demand is a derived demand. It is a result of profit maximization. Watanabe Econ B PMP 5 / 57 Assumptions Assumption 1.2 (Price Taker Assumption A competitive firm is a price taker, i.e., it takes output price p and factor price = ( C, K as given. Watanabe Econ B PMP 6 / 57
3 Assumptions Assumption 1.3 (Time Frame 1 In the short run, Jack cannot revise at least one of his input levels. 2 In the long run, Jack is unrestricted in its choice of input levels. Watanabe Econ B PMP 7 / 57 Assumptions Rent on kitchen does not affect Jack s short-run decision making because it is Definition 1.4 (Sunk Cost Sunk cost is the amount Jack has already paid or promised to pay. It cannot be recouped regardless of future actions. Rent on kitchen is not sunk in the long run.

Watanabe Econ B PMP 1 / 57 Short-Run Profit Maximization Problem How does Jack go about Problem 2.1? Try random C s? Recall marginal condition. Watanabe Econ B PMP 11 / 57 Short-Run Profit Maximization Problem If Jack hires one more chef (Liz, does she increase his profit? 1 If she does, go ahead. 2 If she decreases the profit, downsize. 3 If she doesn t change, then that s the C he s looking for. Watanabe Econ B PMP 12 / 57
5 Short-Run Profit Maximization Problem Change in profit (marginal profit from an additional chef has two sources: 1 Additional cost (marginal cost that Jack has to pay for Liz: C. 1 2 Additional revenue (marginal revenue that Liz will bring in: pmp C( C. 2 1 in a perfectly competitive labor market. 2 in a perfectly competitive cheesecake market. Watanabe Econ B PMP 13 / 57 Proposition 2.2 (Marginal Condition The output level that maximizes Jack s profit C satisfies: C = pmp C ( C, provided that π(. Watanabe Econ B PMP 14 / 57 Example 2.3 (Short-Run Profit Maximization Problem (Discrete If ( C, K = (1, 15 and K is constant at K = 1, p =.5, Jack s short-run profit is given by: C y py K K C C TC π MC MP MR Mπ Watanabe Econ B PMP 15 / 57

Watanabe Econ B PMP 3 / 57
11 Short-Run Labor Demand In Example 2.3 and Question 2.5, we fixed C (1 and 12 each. To derive short-run labor demand function, we switch the value of C and see how Jack will revise his decision, in particular, on C. Watanabe Econ B PMP 31 / 57 Short-Run Labor Demand Question 3.2 (Short-Run Profit Maximization Problem Jack s production function is ƒ ( = 2 C K.

For each C, we can find corresponding C, and that s how we find short-run labor demand function SD( C. Watanabe Econ B PMP 36 / 57
