課程概述

This course will inherit from Labor Economics (I) to cover further labor market issues from the microeconomics perspective. The focus will be both theoretical derivations and empirical applications. Topics covered will include labor supply, labor demand, labor market, human capital, immigration, gender, unions, and unemployment. The tools covered in the course are directed at undergraduate students conducting research not only in the field of labor economics, but other realms such as public, health, and family economics. 

課程目標
 The course will be aiming to equip students with fundamental analytical tools to conduct research on labor market related issues, particularly on policy evaluation.
