What is the term for the unwritten understanding between employees and employers that wages will remain unchanged?

Multiple choice question for Aggregate Supply, Unemployment And Inflation. Select an option, then review the explanation below.

Explanation

The correct answer is an implicit or social agreement, which refers to an unspoken understanding where employers agree not to reduce wages. This differs from a relative-wage contract, which relates wages to other factors, and from explicit contracts that are formally documented. Employment at will allows termination without cause, so it does not guarantee wage stability.
