Modern Labor Economics: Theory and Public Policy (Global Edition) 12/E ePDF

Modern Labor Economics: Theory and Public Policy 12th edition gives students a thorough overview of the modern theory of labour market behaviour and reveals how this theory is used to analyse public policy. Designed for students who may not have extensive backgrounds in economics, the text balances theoretical coverage with examples of practical applications that allow students to see concepts in action.

Experienced educators for nearly four decades, co-authors Ronald Ehrenberg and Robert Smith believe that showing students the social implications of the concepts discussed in the course will enhance their motivation to learn. As such, the text presents numerous examples of policy decisions that have been affected by the ever-shifting labour market.
