Q.4. In a recent speech, the governor of your state announced: "One of the blggest causes of juvenile delinquency in this state is the high rate of unemployment among 16 to 19 year olds. The low wages offered by employers in the state have given fewer teenagers the incentive to find summer employment. Instead of working all summer, the way we used to, today's teenagers slack off and cause trouble. To address this problem, I propose to raise the state's minimum wage by $1.50 per hour. This will give teens the proper Incentive to go out and find meaningful employment when they are not in school." Evaluate the governor's plan to reduce juvenile delinquency.

In the News: Sleep Rules Raise Trucking Costs The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) now monitors the sleep hours and practices of long-haul truck drivers. As of July 1, 2013, the FMCSA insists that drivers: Drive no more than 11 hours a day. Work no more than 14 hours a day. Work no more than 70 hours a week. Take a 30-minute break in their first 8 hours of driving. Rest for 34 consecutive hours after completing a 70-hour week, including at least two nights between the hours of 1 and 5 a.m. According to FMCSA, the new sleep rules will reduce chronic fatigue and related crashes, saving 19 lives per year. But the trucking industry says the new rules are too costly and even dangerous. They force drivers to sleep when they're not tired and to drive when they are tired. They also force trucks onto the road at commute times. The $700 billion industry says shipping costs will rise 2 to 6 percent, upward of $2 billion.

Since the early 1970’s, the U.S. government has had a program called the Earned Income Tax Credit. A simplified version of this program works as follows: The government subsidizes your wages by paying you 50% in addition to what your employer paid you but the subsidy applies only to the first $60 (per day) you receive from your employer. If you earn more than $60 per day, the government gives you only the subsidy for the first $60 earned but nothing for anything additional you earn. For instance, if you earn $100 per day, the government would give you 50% of the first $60 you earned — or $30. Suppose you consider workers 1 and 2. Both can work up to 10 hours per day at a wage of $10 per hour, and after the policy is put in place you observe that worker 1 works 7 hours per day while worker 2 works 5 hours per day. Assume throughout that Leisure is a normal good. (a) Illustrate these workers’ budget constraints with and without the program. (b) Can you tell whether the program has…
