Labor Economics

Over 3,000 topics addressed by acknowledged scholars in the field, from classic economics to more recent issues including gender and economics, economic crises in the European Union and health economics and the economics of the Internet.

The Handbook brings together a systematic review of the research topics, empirical findings, and methods that comprise modern labor economics. It serves as an introduction to what has been done in this field, while at the same time indicating possible future trends which will be important in both spheres of public and private decision-making.

The entirely new International Encyclopedia of the Social Sciences, 2nd Edition, covers scholarship and fields that have emerged and matured since the publication of the original international edition. Like its predecessors, this set meets the needs of high school and college students, researchers inside and outside of academia, lay readers and professionals. The new set highlights the expanding influence of economics in social science research and features nearly 3,000 entirely new articles and important biographies contributed by thousands of scholars — including Nobel Prize winners — from around the world on an array of topics that reflect upon today’s global climate.
