	Social contract
		Social contract is a phrase used in philosophy, political science, and sociology to denote a real or hypothetical agreement within a state regarding the rights and responsibilities of the state and its citizens, or more generally a similar concord between a group and its members.
		Contract theory is certainly not new; Cicero (106-43 BC) posited such a theory in the latter stages of the Roman Republic.
		In the same way that implicit contracts in these circumstances standardize interactions to make them simpler and cheaper to support, enhancing the value of capital, social contract can likewise increase the social capital (a formal term for trust), and what's more this is measurable.

		Contracts have traditionally been thought of by both economists and lawyers as discrete transactions, and indeed the paradigm of the contract for neoclassical economists is the spot market contract, of which the market for cabbages is a standard example.

	Contingent and Alternative Employment Arrangements, February 2005 Technical Note
		For workers who have a job with an intermediary, namely a temporary help agency or a contract company, information is collected about their employment at the place they are assigned to work by the intermediary as well as their employment with the intermediary itself.
		The rationale for asking how long an individual expects to remain in his or her current job is that being able to hold a job for a year or more could be taken as evidence of at least an implicit contract for ongoing employment.
		Individuals who work for temporary help agencies or contract companies are considered contingent under estimate 1 only if they expect their employment arrangement with the temporary help or contract company to last for 1 year or less and they have worked for that company for 1 year or less.

		A relational contract is defined as: "A contract that specifies only the general terms of a relationship and specifies mechanisms for decision making and dispute resolution"(p.602).
		An implicit contract is defined as : "Shared understandings that are not legally enforceable but that the parties consider to be binding on one another's conduct" (p.599).
		An employment contract is a good example of a relational contract, because it delegates authority to the employer to direct the employees actions rather than describing precisely the work that has to be done in every contingency.

	Classifications - ICSE - Statistics
		A job is classified with respect to the type of explicit or implicit contract of employment of the person with other persons or organizations.
		Paid employment jobs are those jobs where the incumbents hold explicit (written or oral) or implicit employment contracts which give them a basic remuneration which is not directly dependent upon the revenue of the unit for which they work (this unit can be a corporation, a non-profit institution, a government unit or a household).
		Employees with stable contracts are those "employees" who have had, and continue to have, an explicit (written or oral) or implicit contract of employment, or a succession of such contracts, with the same employer on a continuous basis.

	Locational Competition versus Cooperation in Labour Markets: An Implicit Contract Reinterpretation
		In such cases demand for insurance against regional shocks arises, which can be provided by nationwide collective bargaining and other national institutions in the spirit of the implicit contract literature.
		In this interpretation, the desirability of locational competition depends on the nature of shocks which affect the regions.
		We present evidence that West German and other European experiences are more consistent with an insurance contract interpretation, while US regional labour markets are characterized by high regional mobility, rendering insurance less relevant.
