- Emphasis on the input and the output of empirical analysis in labour economics
- Covers five major econometric methods in labour economics: regression and related methods, choice modelling, selectivity issues, duration analysis, and policy evaluation techniques
- Each chapter has a Further Reading section
- Clear presentation of the basics of each method enables the reader to understand why a technique is used and in what circumstances
- Accessible to those with basic knowledge of econometrics
- Description of the justification and application of each method with examples to illustrate how the results are to be interpreted
This book provides an accessible presentation of the standard statistical techniques used by labour economists. It emphasises both the input and the output of empirical analysis and covers five major topics concerning econometric methods used in labour economics: regression and related methods, choice modelling, selectivity issues, duration analysis, and policy evaluation techniques. Each of these is presented in terms of model specification, possible estimation problems, diagnostic checking, and interpretation of the output. It aims to provide guidance to practitioners on how to use the
techniques and how to make sense of the results that are produced. It covers methods that are considered to be 'standard' tools in labour economics, but which are often given only a brief and highly technical treatment in econometrics textbooks.
It will be a useful reference for postgraduates and advanced undergraduates, researchers embarking on empirical labour market analysis, and for more experienced economists wishing to apply these techniques for the first time.Readership: Practitioners, researchers, and graduates in economics, econometrics, and statistics, and academics interested in labour economics
