Class Details
This seminar will cover aggregate trends in the labor market from a macroeconomic perspective, along with the tools that economists use to study them. Students will learn basic search and matching models, as well as related empirical methods. We will read papers that employ a variety of survey and administrative data, and we will discuss what types of research questions are best answered by each data source. Potential topics include occupational mismatch, skill-biased technological change, and monopsony.
