Definition von classical unemployment im Englisch Englisch wörterbuch

According to "classical economic theory" originally developed by Adams, Ricardo, Malthus and others in late 18th century unemployment is explained simply by the real wages being higher than the market-equilibrium wage. In modern economics unemployment is seen as a more complicated phenomenon, and the term classical unemployment is used to refer to the component of overall unemployment caused by too high wage expectations. This kind of situation is suggested to arise e.g. as a result of a too generous minimum wage law or labor union influence

Classical unemployment is the result of real wages being above their market clearing level leading to an excess supply of labour. Geoff Riley, Head of Economics, Eton College, Sept. 2006.
