Ch 12-Demand For Resources
• Derived Demand-from the products that resources produce.
• Marginal Revenue Product(MRP)-change in tl revenue resulting from the use of each additional unit of resource.
• MRP=MRC – WHY? Profit seeking rule
![Page 3: Economic Concepts. Ch 12-Demand For Resources Derived Demand-from the products that resources produce. Marginal Revenue Product(MRP)-change in tl revenue](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022083011/5697c0061a28abf838cc5692/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Profit Seeking Rule
• To maximize profits a firm should hire additional units of a resource as long as each successive unit adds more to firm’s total revenue than to total cost.
![Page 4: Economic Concepts. Ch 12-Demand For Resources Derived Demand-from the products that resources produce. Marginal Revenue Product(MRP)-change in tl revenue](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022083011/5697c0061a28abf838cc5692/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
MRP=MRC
• MRP measures how much each successive unit of resource adds to revenue
• MRC measures each additional unit of resource adds to resource cost.
• MRP=MRC is similar to MR=MC; same profit maximization rule
• MRP=MRC deals with inputs• MR=MC deals with outputs

Demand Curve
• Imperfectly Competitive Seller Demand Curve– Slopes Downward– Marginal Product & Product Price fall as
resource employment and output rise.
• Pure Competition Seller Demand Curve– Downward slope is greater than imperfect– Pure competitor can sell added output at a
constant price.

Ch 13 Wage Determination
• Purely competitive labor market– Numerous firms compete for labor – Qualified workers w/ identical skills supply
labor– Firms and individual workers are “wage
takers”
![Page 8: Economic Concepts. Ch 12-Demand For Resources Derived Demand-from the products that resources produce. Marginal Revenue Product(MRP)-change in tl revenue](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022083011/5697c0061a28abf838cc5692/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Role of Productivity
• Labor demand depends on productivity
• U.S. labor highly productive– Plentiful capital– Access to abundant natural resources– Advanced technology– Labor quality– Other factors
![Page 9: Economic Concepts. Ch 12-Demand For Resources Derived Demand-from the products that resources produce. Marginal Revenue Product(MRP)-change in tl revenue](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022083011/5697c0061a28abf838cc5692/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Competitive Labor Market
• Market demand for labor– Sum of firm demand– Example: carpenters
• Market supply for labor– Upward sloping– Competition among industries
• Labor market equilibrium– MRP = MRC rule

Monopsony
• Employer has buying power• Characteristics
– Single buyer– Labor immobile– Firm “wage maker”
• Firm labor supply upward sloping• MRC higher than wage rate• Equilibrium
