This course introduces students to the main theoretical perspectives and empirical tools used by economists to explain and analyze the multifaceted interactions of workers, employers, labor unions, regulatory agencies, and other institutions. Through both historical and current cross-country studies, the course develops a comparative global framework for analyzing earnings and employment problems and policies.
