課程概述 |
This is a graduate course in macroeconomics focusing on labor market. This course will cover search, matching, and related models in the labor market. These models are designed to explain the existence of unemployment and of wage dispersion across similar workers. Several policy issues can be addressed using these models, e.g., the design of unemployment insurance systems, the impact of hiring and firing costs, etc. |
|
課程目標 |
The aim of the course is to expose students to important issues in macro-labor economics such as unemployment, wage dispersions, etc. and to introduce models which are relevant to these topics. Therefore, the course will include both theoretical and empirical literature. Students will hopefully understand how frictional labor markets work and know how to address policy issues in those markets. |
|
課程要求 |
Students will be required to read papers when announced to prepare for the next class.
There will be about 2 written assignments in total.
