Labor Markets: Analysis, Regulations and Outcomes

This book analyses the regulations and outcomes of labor markets. Chapter One studies the minimum wage effects on selectivity and job specialisation by using a matching model in which agents are horizontally differentiated and where the nature of jobs is endogenous. It discusses the interactions between public policies and a firms' technological choice. Chapter Two answers the question of whether labor market models should be unrealistic and false, or realistic and true. The third chapter focuses on occupational welfare in Denmark.
