Description
This comprehensive four-volume collection of previously published papers sets out to examine the most important issues in the study of unemployment; its causes, consequences and policies designed to tackle the problem.
The books present a wide range of different perspectives on the causes of unemployment including classical/neoclassical, radical, Keynesian and new Keynesian; the role of structural and technological change; the impact of international trade; political business cycles; the influence of institutions; empirical issues on unemployment differentials, including youth, immigrant and indigenous unemployment; economic and social costs/benefits of unemployment; and policies which have been, or could be, implemented to alleviate the problems of unemployment.
The Economics of Unemployment will be an essential reference source for students, professional economists and policymakers concerned with the problem of unemployment.
