Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will focus on current issues in labor market research. The scope of the papers to be included expands the current literature by exploring how recent shocks, such as climate change, automation and COVID-19, among others, have influenced labor market outcomes. The purpose is to provide an analytical foundation for quantitative research on the likely evolution of wages and employment for different types of workers in current labor markets. This Special Issue will complement the existing literature on human capital, wage gaps and rising income inequality by focusing on contemporary determinants of wages and employment as well as other labor market outcome dynamics.
Prof. Dr. Maurice Kugler
