This volume is intended to serve as the basic text for either a one-semester or one-quarter course in labor economics at the intermediate undergraduate level. Author Laing (economics, Syracuse U.) combines the classic topic of labor markets with the new labor economics subjects of worker's careers, contracts, the effects of informational imperfections, and labor-market flows. He has adopted an expository style that only requires knowledge of basic economic concepts, basic algebra, and the economic concept of marginal change. All microeconomic tools that are utilized are developed within the body of the text. Twenty five chapters are presented in sections focused on the basic microeconomic framework; application of basic microeconomics to key policy issues; the behavior of firms and trade unions; wage structure, worker flows, and determinants of the unemployment rate; and analytical tools common to labor economics. An additional 10 supplementary chapters, focused on extensions and refinements of the basic neoclassical model, are available online. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
