Explaining Favorable Labor Market Outcomes
An economy has successfully achieved a sustained period of both low unemployment and rising real wages.

For each condition, provide a brief rationale.

Evaluating Economic Policies on Labor Markets
A country's government implements a set of reforms. One reform significantly increases competition among firms in the product market. Another reform strengthens the bargaining power of labor unions. Based on the wage-setting and price-setting framework, what is the most likely combined effect of these two reforms on the country's equilibrium real wage and natural rate of unemployment?
In the wage-setting and price-setting framework, any government policy that leads to an increase in the equilibrium real wage will also necessarily lead to a decrease in the natural rate of unemployment.
Match each economic condition or policy to its most likely direct effect within the wage-setting and price-setting framework.
