This course aims to familiarize students with labor economics topics that are relevant to current policy debates worldwide. The topics will be covered from both theoretical and empirical perspectives. Students will gain knowledge about various trends in labor market outcomes, such as employment, unemployment, and wage inequality. In addition, the course will explore recent theoretical models and empirical strategies developed to analyze these trends. By the end of the course, students will have a broad understanding of labor economics and its implications for public policy.

The main text for the course is Cahuc, Carcillo, and Zylberberg, Labor Economics, 2nd Edition. Supplementary readings that are relevant to each subject will be listed on the course website.
