| Title |
Labour Economics |
| Description |
The aim of this course is to introduce students to a number of topics in labour economics, which relate to various current policy debates around the world. The topics will be covered from both theoretical and empirical perspectives. Students will learn about a range of stylized facts related to labour market outcomes such as employment, unemployment, wage growth, wage inequality, as well as trade, technological change and the labour market. We will discuss recent theoretical models and empirical strategies that have been developed to analyze these trends.
Readings:
The main (required) text for the course is Cahuc, Carcillo, and Zylberberg, Labor Economics, 2nd Edition. I will sometimes use Benjamin, Gunderson, Lemieux, and Riddell, Labour Market Economics, 7th Edition and Angrist and Pischke, Mostly Harmless Econometrics. Additional readings (also required) will be indicated on the course website. The course website may also include links to additional resources, including suggested reading, newspaper articles and podcasts that are relevant to each topic.
