ECON 352 Labor Economics
This course applies economic theory and tools to study the characteristics and problems of the labor market, theories of wage determination, wage differentials and evolution over time. Economic and institutional aspects connected to labor markets are analyzed including labor force participation, education and training, labor productivity, labor mobility, migration, labor discrimination, and labor unions. The study also considers government programs that seek to address structural problems in the market through policies on compensation, training, unemployment benefits and others.
