(c) On a figure with dollars per hour on the vertical axis and
hours of labor supplied on the horizontal axis, please sketch the
driver’s marginal benefit from providing labor. Note: If the driver
supplies more hours, she raises the probability of getting work,
but at a diminishing rate. (i) Explain how a reduction in the fare
affects the marginal benefit from providing labor. Consider both
the direct effect of the fare and the indirect effect (lower fare
attracts more customers and raises the probability that the driver
gets work). (ii) From a driver’s viewpoint, what is the optimal
quantity of labor to supply? (iii) Intuitively, does an increase in
earnings necessarily make drivers better off?
