Answer to Question 1

An efficiency wage rate is a wage that is set by a firm above the equilibrium wage rate in order to motivate the firm's workers to work hard. The idea is that workers will work hard in order to keep their jobs because they know that if they are fired the (equilibrium) wage rate they are likely to get at a new job will be less than the efficiency wage. An efficiency wage is one of the factors that push the wage rate above its equilibrium and thereby create unemployment.
