Infinite No-Shirking Wage as Job Search Time Approaches Zero

A production function for grain is graphed with the number of farmers on the horizontal axis and total grain output on the vertical axis. The function is represented by an upward-sloping, concave curve starting from the origin. Point A on the curve represents 1,000 farmers producing 600,000 kg of grain. If 500 additional farmers are hired, moving to Point B on the curve, which of the following is the most plausible total output level for Point B?

In a theoretical economic model where the unemployment rate is zero, what is the most immediate implication for an individual who unexpectedly loses their job?

Worker Motivation in a Full Employment Economy

Within a theoretical economic model that assumes a state of full employment (zero unemployment), what is the logical consequence for the economic cost associated with a worker losing their job?

In an economic model characterized by full employment, the primary economic cost for a worker who is laid off is the extended period of income loss while they search for a new, equivalent job.

In an economic model where a worker's effort level is influenced by the potential cost of being fired, consider a hypothetical scenario where the labor market is so tight that any dismissed worker can find an identical new job almost instantaneously. What is the logical consequence for the minimum wage a firm must pay to prevent its workers from slacking off?

An economic model is used to analyze the connection between the economy-wide employment rate and the average duration a person remains unemployed while looking for a new job. According to the logic of this model, what happens to the average job search duration as the employment rate gets progressively closer to 100%?
