Course Contents/Objectives/Teaching Method/Intended Learning Outcome
Labor markets connect individuals to the global economy, and earnings from labor are key elements of household income. We use theory and data to understand labor market responses to trade and globalization and to track consequences for individual and household well-being. We study topics such as labor mobility and migration, the market for skills, and decisions on the school-to-work transition. Our empirical and policy focus is on developing Asia.
By the end of the course, students should be familiar with canonical models of economic growth, trade, labor markets and education. They should be able to use those models together with data to analyze the effects of real-world events such as resource export booms, global market shocks and domestic policies on employment, earnings, and educational decisions, and be able to interpret these for policy purposes. They should be able to connect these analyses to broader narratives of economic development.

There is no single prescribed textbook although in the “building blocks” classes we will use several chapters from Mankiw, Macroeconomics, and Krugman, Obstfeld and Melitz, International Trade: Theory and Policy (12th edition). The remainder of the course draws on various research papers, journal articles and excerpts from books. Nearly all are accessible in electronic form.
