ECO481H1F Special Topics in Economics with Data Analytics: Labour Market Heterogeneity

This course exposes students to the macro-labour literature that studies labour market outcomes (e.g. employment flows, earnings dynamics, inequality) and how they interact with government (fiscal/monetary) policy. It will highlight the role of household heterogeneity in the study of these topics and the increasing importance of using microdata to inform models used for policy evaluation. In the process, students are trained to become skilled users of complex microdata which, combined with empirical methods, can be used to establish relevant empirical patterns and relationships. This will enable students to think more critically about existing research and develop their own project/research agendas.
