Frictional unemployment results from

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

To analyze the question, we need to recall what frictional unemployment is and what it is typically associated with.
Option A: 'a surplus in some labor markets; often thought to explain relatively long spells of unemployment.' This describes structural or cyclical unemployment concepts more than frictional. Frictional unemployment is not about a persistent surplus causing long spells; it’s about matching workers to jobs, usually not long-lasting.
Option B: 'a surplus in some labor markets; often thought to explain relatively short spells of unemployment.' While a surplus could relate to certain market conditions, the claim that it explains frictional unemployment is misleading. Frictional unemployment is about individuals between jobs and job search processes, not a market-wide surplus as the primary cause.
Option C: 'job searching. It is often thought to explain relatively long spells of unemployment.' The core idea of frictional unemployment is that people are searching for new jobs, but the aspect of 'relatively long spells' contradicts the typical characterization, which emphasizes short-term job search periods due to wage and information frictions.
Option D: 'job searching. It is often thought to explain relatively short spells of unemployment.' This aligns with the standard definition: frictional unemployment arises from the normal job-search process when people are transitioning between jobs, and it is generally short in duration.
In summary, the options differ in two axes: what causes the unemployment (surplus vs. job search) and the expected duration (long vs. short). The most consistent pairing with the conventional view of frictional unemployment is the combination of 'job searching' and 'short spells.'
