4. (10 points) In the neoclassical theory of labor supply, a representative economic agent supplies labor to maximize wellbeing. Explain how this insight causes labor supply schedule to be potentially backward bending (be sure to explain the substitution and income effects of a change in the real wage rate). Write out, in general functional form, the representative economic agent's labor supply schedule, and explain the determinants of labor supply (be sure to "sign" the labor supply schedule).
