Short review
| Customer Rating: | | One of the best economics textbooks I studied in terms of clarity and organization. Even though it is pricey, it is well written and researched. The work that was put into it was professional. |
Nice book
| Customer Rating: | | almost the same as the newer addition , has all the things you ned to know about labor economics |
Decent Study Guide
| Customer Rating: | | This study guide was pretty good. The questions have a good mix of difficulty, and the samples and explanations really helped with a couple of the concepts that were pretty unclear in the book. |
A very interesting textbook about labor economics
| Customer Rating: | | I was a teaching assistant in a labor economics undergraduate course in Northwestern University that used this book. I found it very interesting and full of real-world examples and discussions. The mathematical level is simple and therefore the book is accessible also to students with only little background in mathematics or economics. The exposition is clear. About half of the problems and the review questions are solved at the end of the book, making it possible for the reader to practice and test her understanding of the material. I believe that most students can understand most of the material in the book even without taking a formal course in labor economics, and therefore I recommend it to anyone who is interested in the functioning of labor markets. |
A helpful and informative book
| Customer Rating: | | I bought this book to use for my Labor Economics class at Cornell University. My professor, Professor Smith, is a contributor to this book and it was a wonderful supplement to the lectures. The book is filled with useful information and practical applications, so its appeal is not limited to economics students, but anyone who wishes to know more about payroll taxes, policy applications, work incentives and the like. This easy-to-understand book benefited me a lot and I would recommend its use to other courses in labor economics at other colleges and universities. |
