Lernziele/Kompetenzen Employment
and unemployment rates vary substantially over time and internationally but
differences in labor markets go much further comprising issues like education
and skills, female labor force participation, wage distribution, labor laws,
unions, openness of economies, central bank policy, new technology, etc. How
do institutional arrangements affect employment performance theoretically and
does empirical research support or falsify theories? This course investigates
these trends based on economic theory and gives students the opportunity to
investigate some relations with data sets economists use in their analyses. |
