| | Labour economics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | One critique of standard economic analysis of labour markets is that it does not account for the importance of social networks in the employment process. | | | Labour economics looks at the suppliers of labour services (workers), the demanders of labour services (employers), and attempts to understand the resulting pattern of wages, employment, and income. | | | Many economists have thought that, in the absence of laws or organizations such as unions or large multinational corporations, labour markets can be close to perfectly competitive in the economic sense — that is, there are many workers and employers both having perfect information about each other and there are no transaction costs. |

| | Labour (economics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Marxian economists argue that the reason why labor economics receives little attention is because it has become viewed as a management issue. | | | Marxian economists believe that ultimately the most desirable form of labor organisation in the workplace is where workers manage themselves collectively, and elect managers where necessary; too much management is inefficient, it just means that people get high incomes for doing very little, capitalising on specialised knowledge or qualifications. | | | But this may hide that a particular form of organising labour has little to do with economic efficiency, and more with getting an high income from an activity. |

| | labor, term used both for the effort of performing a task and for the workers engaged in the activity. | | | the condition of most manual labor has improved slowly in industrial countries through organization (see union, labor), permitting collective bargaining with employers and successful pressure on governments for protective legislation. | | | With increased competition for jobs and consequent decreasing wages, a form of labor contract came into use in Great Britain and its colonies, called indenture, by which people could hire themselves out for a certain number of years either for a lump sum of money or to pay off a debt. |

| | These models help to explain economic relationships and are used to develop forecasts related to the nature and length of business cycles, the effects of a specific rate of inflation on the economy, the effects of tax legislation on unemployment levels, and other economic phenomena. | | | A greater need for economic analyses in virtually every industry could result in additional jobs for economists, although some corporations are eliminating some or all of their economist positions in favor of hiring economic consultants. | | | The U.S. Departments of Labor, Agriculture, and State are the largest Federal employers of economists. |

| | Columbia News ::: Father of Modern Labor Economics Jacob Mincer Honored for Critical Contributions to the Field |
| | Mincer helped revolutionize economics by integrating empirical tests with economic theory, helped develop the concept of human capital and pioneered the study of female labor supply taking account of household production. | | | Mincer made seminal contributions to the development of other fields of economics that involve decisions related to household decisions, such as the economics of transportation and consumption. | | | The conference, organized by Mincer's former students, focused on human capital and economics of the household, two topics that have greatly benefited from Mincer's work. |

| | Such voluntary worker associations could negotiate labor contracts, serve as clearinghouses for workers to learn what their best alternatives are, monitor administration of fringe benefit plans, and administer training and benefit plans. | | | That second effect is because of the basic law of demand: if unions successfully raise the price of labor, employers will purchase less of it. | | | Barring new legislation, such as a recent congressional proposal to ban the hiring of nonunion replacement workers, private-sector membership will fall from 12 percent to about 7 percent by the year 2000, about the same percentage as a hundred years earlier. |

| | In a monopsonistic labor market, concludes Manning, the "free" market can no longer be sustained as an ideal and labor economists need to be more open-minded in their evaluation of labor market policies. | | | Arguing that this power derives from frictions in the labor market that make it time-consuming and costly for workers to change jobs, Manning re-examines much of labor economics based on this alternative and equally plausible assumption. | | | Monopsony in Motion stands apart by analyzing labor markets from the real-world perspective that employers have significant market (or monopsony) power over their workers. |
