Answer to Question 1

The existence of unemployment compensation reduces the opportunity cost of looking for work. Job searchers may take longer looking for work under such a system. However, without any unemployment compensation job seekers may choose to accept job offers more quickly in order to pay the bills since they are not receiving compensation while they are searching for work. In a nutshell the opportunity cost of searching is very high and they may prefer to end their job search much more quickly.

Answer to Question 2

A
