這門課一方面利用勞動經濟學理論分析過去與目前勞動市場所發生的變化，另一方面以計量方法驗證勞動經濟學的理論。由於勞動經濟學是一門相當實證的學科，這門課的作業將幫助同學了解基本的資料處理與實證的方法。另外，這門課強調目前勞動市場所面臨的改變，並討論勞動市場政策所帶來的影響。
This course has two goals: to develop economic analyses of changes that have occurred (and are now occurring) in labor markets, and to provide a survey of basic empirical facts and evidence about work and pay. Throughout the course, we will discuss data and methods used by labor economists to understand labor markets. This course emphasizes analysis of current and anticipated changes in labor markets, and labor market policies will be discussed frequently.
能力項目說明
1. Understand central concepts in labor economics.
2. Use basic mathematical models to clarify economic problems.
3. Use basic econometric methods and STATA to estimate policy impacts on labor market outcomes.

Midterm and Final Exam (50% of total grade):
Presentations and Research Proposal (50% of total grade):
Group Formation: Each student is required to form a group of 1-3 members for the purpose of presentations and developing the research proposal.
Research Proposal Topic: The focus of the research proposal should be on the impact of a specific policy on labor markets. Groups are expected to select a policy, analyze its theoretical impact on the labor market, and support their analysis with empirical evidence.
Initial Consultation: It is highly recommended that groups schedule a meeting with me to discuss their chosen paper topic prior to the midterm presentations. This will provide an opportunity for guidance and feedback on the initial direction of the research.
Submission Deadline: Please be reminded that the final research proposals must be submitted by June 21.
