Consider a representative firm that aims at maximizing its
profit by choosing the real wage
(π€), capital input (πΎ) and labour input (πΏ) optimally. The
profit function of the firm is
given by:
π = πΉ(πΎ,π(π€)πΏ) β ππΎ β π€πΏ
The effort function of the representative firm takes the
following form:
π(π€) = (π€
Μ
βπ€
π
π€
π
)π
, 0 < π < 1
where π€
Μ and π€π denote the representative firmβs optimal real wage and
employeesβ
alternative wage, respectively.
(a)
Derive the first-order condition for profit maximization problem
with respect to
π€
Μ, πΎ and πΏ.
(b)
Solve the model for the Solow condition. Explain the Solow
condition and discuss
how the optimal wage depends on the model parameters.
