MONOPSONY IN MOTION IMPERFECT COMPETITION IN LABOR MARKETS
What happens if an employer cuts the wage it pays its workers by one cent?
Much of labor economics is built on the assumption that all existing work-
ers immediately leave the firm as that is the implication of the assumption
of perfect competition in the labor market. In such a situation an employer
faces a market wage for each type of labor determined by forces beyond its
control at which any number of these workers can be hired but any attempt
to pay a lower wage will result in the complete inability to hire any of them
at all. The labor supply curve facing the firm is infinitely elastic.
