Change in Quantity of Labor Demanded = Substitution Effect + Scale
... A change in the Wage Rate-Long Run Labor Demand Change in Quantity of Labor Demanded = Substitution Effect + Scale Effect • A fall in the wage rate means increased quantity demand via the substitution effect. • While theoretically possible that the scale effect could reverse this, it is not likely. ...

Also, if costs are rising for producers as they produce more units, they must receive a higher price to compensate ...

Indeed, it is simply amazing how many students “worry” about this one particular unit of output! Try the following: Draw the conventional upward-sloping MC curve and horizontal MR curve ...

Economic equilibrium
In economics, economic equilibrium is a state where economic forces such as supply and demand are balanced and in the absence of external influences the (equilibrium) values of economic variables will not change. For example, in the standard text-book model of perfect competition, equilibrium occurs at the point at which quantity demanded and quantity supplied are equal. Market equilibrium in this case refers to a condition where a market price is established through competition such that the amount of goods or services sought by buyers is equal to the amount of goods or services produced by sellers. This price is often called the competitive price or market clearing price and will tend not to change unless demand or supply changes and the quantity is called ""competitive quantity"" or market clearing quantity.
