Description
Several new economic approaches have led to important insights into the nature of the labour market. Becker=s new household economics provides a provocative interpretation of the family; principal-agent theory offers novel explanations of the organization of labour within the firm; and implicit contract theory challenges conventional views of employer/employee relationships. This course examines in depth one or two selected topics in labour economics.
