ECO 141C - (BH) Labor EconomicsSemester Hours: 3 Periodically
The centrality of work in most people’s lives has made labor issues like job
growth, unemployment, skills training, pay and benefits, occupational safety,
work force diversity and inequality, immigration, trade unions, labor-management
relations, and government employment and labor market programs subjects of great
importance and debate around the world. This course introduces students to the
main theoretical perspectives and empirical tools used by economists to explain
and analyze the multifaceted interactions of workers, employers, labor unions,
regulatory agencies, and other institutions. Through both historical and current
cross-country studies, the course develops a comparative global framework for
analyzing earnings and employment problems and policies.

for this course or LABR 141C but not both. Not open to students who have taken
