Attendance is compulsory and active participation (=discussion, presentations, questions, remarks) in class is expected. To some extent, this will be checked through the use of the WU-Learning Apps.
The course is divided in two parts: The first part covers fundamental aspects of the labor market. We start with basic models of labor supply and demand. We then study different types of market failures and frictions. The second part of the course is structured around a number of key empirical literature. We first review research on inequality from an individual, firm and intergenerational perspective. We then cover causal evidence on how labor markets adjust to shocks.
The final grade is composed of:
- Assignment I 10%
- Assignment 10%
- Presentation 15%
- Discussion and participation during the lectures 5%
- Exam 60%
Positive grades on the courses in microeconomics of the Master’s program are a prerequisite for participating in Labor Economics;
