Labor and Applied Microeconomics
Labor and applied microeconomics studies a wide range of questions aimed at understanding how labor markets work, and how public policies may interact with labor market choices and outcomes.
At the Department of Economics, researchers study education, crime, discrimination, peer effects and networks, early-life interventions, intergenerational mobility, job search and matching, and welfare participation. The research uses methods ranging from structural and reduced-form econometrics to field experiments, with studies in several countries.
This research area is one of several partly overlapping areas of expertise at the Department of Economics. Many researchers are active in more than one area.
