Estlund and Wachter have assembled a feast on the economic analysis
of issues in labor and employment law for scholars and
policy-makers. The volume begins with foundational discussions of
the economic analysis of the individual employment relationship and
collective bargaining. It then progresses to discussions of the
theoretical and empirical work on a wide range of important labor
and employment law topics including: union organizing and employee
choice, the impact of unions on firm and economic performance, the
impact of unions on the enforcement of legal rights, just cause for
dismissal, covenants not to compete and employment discrimination.
Anyone who wants to study what economists have to say on these
topics would do well to begin with this collection.' - Kenneth G.
Dau-Schmidt, Indiana University Bloomington School of Law, USThis
Research Handbook assembles the original work of leading legal and
economic scholars, working in a variety of traditions and
methodologies, on the economic analysis of labor and employment
law. In addition to surveying the current state of the art on the
economics of labor markets and employment relations, the volume's
16 chapters assess aspects of traditional labor law and union
organizing, the law governing the employment contract and
termination of employment, employment discrimination and other
employer mandates, restrictions on employee mobility, and the forum
and remedies for labor and employment claims. Comprising a variety
of approaches, the Research Handbook on the Economics of Labor and
Employment Law will appeal to legal scholars in labor and
employment law, industrial relations scholars and labor economists.

The unsatisfactory performance of the United States economy during
the 1970s generated considerable debate over potential new
directions for economic policy. This volume, the result of the
second Wharton/Reliance Symposium held in May 1983, presents and
analyzes a range of economic policy options. The focus of the
volume is on potential policy remedies for the economic problems of
slow real output and productivity growth.Given the range of issues
covered and the alternative viewpoints presented, this collection
does not search for an overall policy consensus. To focus on
consensus would have required narrowing both the subject matter and
the distinctive viewpoints that are presented here. The result is
an open discussion of a set of existing and innovative policy
options.Contributors include Henry A. Kissinger, former Secretary
of State; Nobel Laureate Lawrence R. Klein, Lester C. Thurow,
Professor of Economics and Management at Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, Senator Alan Cranson; Alfred E. Kahn, Chairman of the
Council on Wage and Price Stability under President Carter; William
W. Winpisinger, International President of the International
Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers; and Justine Farr
Rodriguez, Senior Economist with the U.S. Office of Management and
Budget, among many others.
This volume presents some of the most critical and erudite opinions
on the economy today. Bringing together the experience,
predictions, and recommendations of distinguished leaders in
politics, labor, and business, it provides a comprehensive
examination of contrasting views in order to identify the shape
that America's new industrial policy may take.

What kinds of work will be available in the 1980s? For whom? When
should a person retire? Should a retiree find a part-time job? The
authors answer such questions by examining a multitude of factors
that will affect work decisions in the coming decade. Their
findings will alert decision-makers in both private organizations
and the government to the employment issues that dominate the
1980s.
