Solution to In-Text Exercise 20.3: First we compute the marginal
... Solving for S, we obtain S = 35. A store’s marginal benefit is greater than marginal cost when S < 35 and less than marginal cost when S > 35. If security is left to the independent decisions of the stores, they will provide 35 person-hours of security patrols in total. If the total were less than 3 ...

Labour economics
Labour economics seeks to understand the functioning and dynamics of the markets for wage labour. Labour markets function through the interaction of workers and employers. Labour economics looks at the suppliers of labour services (workers), the demands of labour services (employers), and attempts to understand the resulting pattern of wages, employment, and income.In economics, labour is a measure of the work done by human beings. It is conventionally contrasted with such other factors of production as land and capital. There are theories which have developed a concept called human capital (referring to the skills that workers possess, not necessarily their actual work).
