Fair wages, involuntary unemployment and tax policies in the simple general equilibrium model
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to examine wages, involuntary unemployment and tax policies using the simple general equilibrium model. Results were verified by a comparison with the results of tax incidence. The results indicated that a reduction in equilibrium unemployment happens if the wage rental rate is increased by tax policy. This examination of the model is unique in the sense that the basic assumptions for perfect competition is ignored.
