The book collects articles published by Daniel Hamermesh between
1969 and 2013 dealing with the general topic of the demand for
labor. The first section presents empirical studies of basic issues
in labor demand, including the extent to which different types of
labor are substitutes, how firms' and workers' investments affect
labor turnover, and how costs of adjusting employment affect the
dynamics of employment and patterns of labor turnover. The second
section examines the impacts of various labor-market policies,
including minimum wages, penalty pay for using overtime hours or
hours worked on weekends or nights, severance pay for displaced
workers, and payroll taxes to finance unemployment insurance
benefits. The final section deals with general questions of
discrimination by employers along various dimensions, including
looks, gender and ethnicity, in all cases focusing on the process
of discrimination and the behavior that results. Throughout the
focus is on the development of theoretically-based hypotheses and
testing them using the most appropriate data, often data collected
uniquely for the particular project.
