Resource Markets --- Backward-bending Labor Supply

In this section, we'll figure out why (and at what wage) an individual's labor supply curve will begin to bend backward. First a question.

When you get a pay raise, does this cause you to work more hours, or less hours? Assume that you have the ability to choose how many hours you'd like to work.

More to follow.
