Description

What factors affect the ways individuals¬†participate in¬†labor markets?

“New Developments and Research on Labor Markets” (volume 4B) proposes answers to this and other questions on important topics of public policy.¬† Leading labor economists demonstrate how better data and advanced¬†experiments help them apply¬†economic theory, yielding sharper analyses and conclusions.¬†¬†¬†The combinations¬†of these improved empirical findings with new¬†models enable the authors of these chapters¬†to reveal¬†how labor economists¬†are developing new and innovative ways to measure key¬†parameters and test important hypotheses.¬†

Concentrates on empirical research in specific labor markets, including those defined by age, gender, and race
Reveals how¬†questions and answers about¬†these markets have changed and how models measure them
Documents how conceptual models and empirical work explain important practical issues
