Question:

Suppose there are 100 potential employees in a market, labeled as "worker 1" to "worker 100." Worker n requires a weekly wage of 10n dollars to accept employment and generates a profit for any firm that hires him of 480 + 4 n dollars (not including any compensation the worker is paid). If a worker's productivity is observable, which workers will be employed? If a worker's productivity is not observable, what will the equilibrium wage be and which workers will be employed? What is the deadweight loss due to asymmetric information?
