The first objective of this course is to acquaint students with core topics in labor economics and with the important empirical methods for microeconomic analysis. A second goal is to inform students’ understanding of some salient labor market institutions and public policies affecting labor markets.
The course will teach how to combine institutional knowledge, economic models, and real-world data to gain sound insight into important labor market issues. Topics include supply- and demand for labor, wage determination, firms' role in the labor market, human capital, technological change, market power, and inequality.
