Answer to Question 1

A reduction in A will cause a reduction in the real wage based on WS behavior; therefore, the WS curve shifts down by the change in A. The reduction in A increases the marginal cost of an additional unit of output so firms will raise the price. Hence, the real wage based on PS behavior will fall by A and the PS curve shifts down by A. Given the size of the shifts in the WS and PS curves, u does not change; however, the real wage does fall.

Answer to Question 2

A
