Ch 18: markets for factors of production (18. 1 18. 2) Four factors of production: market for labour services. Labour services are the physical and mental work effort that people supply to produce goods and services: a labour market is a collection of people and firms who trade labour services. The price of labour services is the wage rate: most labour markets have many buyers and many sellers and are competitive. This market is not a market for capital services: a market for capital services is a rental market a market in which the services of capital are hired, markets for land services and natural resources. Land consists of all the gifts of nature natural resources. If the price of the firm"s output increases, the demand for labour increases and the demand for labour curve shifts rightward: the prices of other factors of production.
