Labor Economics, seventh edition by George J. Borjas provides a modern introduction to labor economics, emphasizing both theory and empirical evidence. The book uses many examples drawn from state-of-the-art studies in labor economics literature. The author introduces, through examples, methodological techniques that are commonly used in labor economics to empirically test various aspects of the theory.
Features
1. Approach: Labor Economics is surveyed with an emphasis on both theory and facts. This approach relies more on "the economic way of thinking" than other texts.
2. Concise and Flexible: This edition remains much shorter than competing labor economics textbooks. The book contains an introductory chapter, plus 11 substantive chapters. The book continues to have each chapter serve as the basis for about a week’s worth of lectures in a typical undergraduate semester cours
