If you want to take this course, please register "KC3023 Contemporary Global Issues A (Thursday 2nd)" together. It is a 4-unit course. This course investigates how labor markets work. We will analyze a wide range of labor issues focusing on the economies of Japan and the US. Each class is composed of two parts. We begin with the neo-classical explanation of labor supply and demand using our textbook. After learning the theoretical background, we will analyze a well-known research article to understand how and whether the standard, neo-classical model is applied to our real economic life.
