LABR 141C - (BH) Labor EconomicsSemester Hours: 3
Fall or Spring
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.
