Suppose the economy-wide union sets the wage for employed workers by W = P^e(Z - α u) with unemployment rate u and labour force L. The producer sets price over wage with mark-up m as P = (1+m)W. If each employed worker produces one unit of output Y, then the aggregate supply function is (A) P = -P^e(1+m)(Z - 1 + α Y/L) (B) P = P^e(1+m)(Z - 1 + α Y/L) (C) P = -P^e(1+m)(Z - α + α Y/L) (D) P = P^e(1+m)(Z - α + α Y/L)
Also written as: Suppose the economy-wide union sets the wage for employed workers by W = P^e(Z - alpha u) with unemployment rate u and labour force L. The producer sets price over wage with mark-up m as P = (1+m)W. If each employed worker produces one unit of output Y, then the aggregate supply function is
