Most labor economics textbooks pay little attention to actual labor
markets, taking as reference a perfectly competitive market in
which losing a job is not a big deal. The Economics of Imperfect
Labor Markets is the only textbook to focus on imperfect labor
markets and to provide a systematic framework for analyzing how
labor market institutions operate. This expanded, updated, and
thoroughly revised second edition includes a new chapter on
labor-market discrimination; quantitative examples; data and
programming files enabling users to replicate key results of the
literature; exercises at the end of each chapter; and expanded
technical appendixes. The Economics of Imperfect Labor Markets
examines the many institutions that affect the behavior of workers
and employers in imperfect labor markets. These include minimum
wages, employment protection legislation, unemployment benefits,
active labor market policies, working-time regulations, family
policies, equal opportunity legislation, collective bargaining,
early retirement programs, education and migration policies,
payroll taxes, and employment-conditional incentives. Written for
advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students, the book
carefully defines and measures these institutions to accurately
characterize their effects, and discusses how these institutions
are today being changed by political and economic forces. *
