Description
Phi Labor Economics by Cahuc Pierre Et Al
This landmark text combines depth and breadth of coverage with recent, cutting-edge work in all the major areas of modern labor economics. Its command of the literature and its coverage of the latest theoretical, methodological and empirical developments make it a valuable resource for postgraduate students of Economics as well as practising labour economists. This second edition has been substantially updated and augmented. It incorporates examples drawn from many countries and presents empirical methods using contributions that have proved to be milestones in labour economics. This edition devotes more space to the analysis of public policy and the levers available to policy makers, with new chapters on such topics as discrimination, globalization, income redistribution, employment protection and the minimum wage or labor market programs for the unemployed. Theories are explained on the basis of the simplest possible models, which are in turn related to empirical results. Mathematical appendixes provide a toolkit for understanding the models.
