\"New Developments and Research on Labor Markets\" (volume 4B) proposes answers to this and other questions on important topics of public policy. Leading labor economists demonstrate how better data and advanced experiments help them apply economic theory, yielding sharper analyses and conclusions. The combinations of these improved empirical findings with new models enable the authors of these chapters to reveal how labor economists are developing new and innovative ways to measure key parameters and test important hypotheses.

We showcase studies that highlight the central advantages of this methodology, which include: (i) using economic theory to design the null and alternative hypotheses; (ii) engineering exogenous variation in real world economic environments to establish causal relations and learn about the underlying mechanisms; and (iii) engaging in primary data collection and often working closely with practitioners. To highlight the potential for field experiments to inform issues in labor economics, we organize our discussion around the individual life cycle. We therefore consider field experiments related to the accumulation of human capital, the demand and supply of labor, and behavior within firms, and close with a brief discussion of the nascent literature of field experiments related to household decision making.Keywords: Field experiments; Labor economics (search for similar items in EconPapers)JEL-codes: J0 (search for similar items in EconPapers)Date: 2011ISBN: 978-0-444-53450-7References: Add references at CitEc Citations: View citations in EconPapers (140) Track citations by RSS feedDownloads: (external link) ... f39e2b81c263bb3db182Full text for ScienceDirect subscribers onlyRelated works:Working Paper: Field experiments in labor economics (2010) Working Paper: Field Experiments in Labor Economics (2010) This item may be available elsewhere in EconPapers: Search for items with the same title.Export reference: BibTeX RIS (EndNote, ProCite, RefMan) HTML/TextPersistent link: :eee:labchp:4-02Access Statistics for this chapterMore chapters in Handbook of Labor Economics from ElsevierBibliographic data for series maintained by Catherine Liu (Obfuscate( 'elsevier.com', 'repec' )). var addthis_config = {\"data_track_clickback\":true}; var addthis_share = { url:\" :eee:labchp:4-02\"}Share This site is part of RePEc and all the data displayed here is part of the RePEc data set.
