B) increase cyclical unemployment.

C) reduce the equilibrium real wage rate.

D) increase the equilibrium real wage rate.

E) decrease the natural unemployment rate.

23) The presence of efficiency, minimum and union wages

C) increases the supply of labor and therefore increases potential GDP.

D) increases the demand for labor and therefore increases potential GDP.

E) reduces frictional unemployment.

 

26) An efficiency wage is designed to

A) induce more work effort.

B) keep the minimum wage from rising.

C) keep the minimum wage from falling.

D) to induce more employment.

E) decrease the need for workers to search for jobs.

27) An efficiency wage is designed to ________ work effort and to ________ labor turnover.

A) decrease; lower

B) decrease; raise

C) increase; raise

D) increase; lower

E) not change; decrease

 

28) An efficiency wage is ________ because the result is ________.

A) set above the equilibrium real wage; reduced turnover and less work effort

B) set above the equilibrium real wage; increased turnover and more work effort

C) set below the equilibrium real wage; reduced turnover and more work effort

D) set above the equilibrium real wage; reduced turnover and more work effort

E) not often used; not much different from minimum wage use

 

29) An efficiency wage ________ because ________.

A) decreases job rationing; the real wage rate is lowered below the equilibrium

B) increases job rationing; the real wage rate is lowered below the equilibrium

C) decreases job rationing; the real wage rate is raised above the equilibrium

D) increases job rationing; the real wage rate is raised above the equilibrium

E) is used often; it is inexpensive and effective

30) Efficiency wages are

A) the legal minimum wage a firm can pay a worker.

B) a possible cause of job rationing because they drive wages below their equilibrium level.

C) a possible cause of job rationing because they drive wages above their equilibrium level.
