The aim of the course is show students how they can gain insight and understanding of many issues in labour economics (and related fields), when analyzing them through the prism of firms’ decisions and functioning. It is to show how these issues can be relatively easily evaluated empirically. To this aim, the course will equip students with the theoretical background as well as the econometric tools enabling them to carry out top-notch empirical research, exploiting the growing availability of firm-level longitudinal micro data.
