In this course, markets for labor power are studied from
the inside out.
After a brief introduction and re-orientation to the process
of microeconomic analysis, attention is focused on the
special features of employment relationships and the
implications of such features for labor market outcomes.
Topics include wage differentials and discrimination,
involuntary unemployment, unions, the economic roles of
education and training, and the internal structure of firms.
