Course Summary:
This course is a topic course in labor economics. This semester, the course will focus on job
mobility. This will include discussions of within-firm job mobility, across-firm job mobility,
and job mobility that entails migration within and across-country. Voluntary and
involuntary job mobility will be discussed, the latter being due to an involuntary departure
from a firm (e.g., layoff). Methods necessary to study these topics will be presented at the
course's beginning.
