Course description
This course is the second in a two-part sequence of graduate courses in labor economics. The aim of the sequence is to acquaint students with issues and methods in modern labor economics. The sequence focuses on methodological issues and emphasizes the interaction between economic theory and empirical work. In this course, I plan to focus on economics of education and human capital, although I will touch upon other topics whenever I feel necessary. I will also explain a number of empirical applications that evaluate the effects of relevant policies. Advanced-undergraduate level microeconomics and econometrics are required.
