Course Description
This course enables students to explore key concepts in the economics of work and pay, labor market theory, and the theory of personnel economics. Students develop an understanding of how these tools can be used to address theoretical, applied, and policy problems. Students also learn the nature and role of the labor market in the UK. Students master the core concepts of labor economics theory and the theory of personnel economics and then use those theories to analyze real-world labor market phenomena such as how pays are set, why there is wage inequality and unemployment. Students also evaluate the case for the use of the theory in designing reforms of the labor markets.
