Labor Markets and Heterogenity

Provided by: UMA
(EQF level: 8)

In this class, we discuss the existing literature that explores how heterogeneity across workers, firms, or locations affects labor market outcomes. The class starts with an introduction to search models of the labor market and discusses simple extensions to include heterogeneity. One particular focus of the class will be on recent papers exploring the interaction of workers at the workplace and production in teams. I will go over some seminal papers on heterogeneity.
