Longitudinal Analysis of Labor Market Data

Longitudinal Analysis of Labor Market Data presents a set of original papers by leading scholars on new methods for analysing the longitudinal data that is now becoming available on numerous topics of interest to social scientists. Because many new sources of longitudinal data record labour market phenomena such as unemployment, labour supply, earnings mobility, job turnover and participation in training programmes, all of the papers collected in this volume focus on models of the labour market. The main methodological points, however, are more general and apply to such diverse areas as demography, life science analysis, and training evaluation to name only a few, potential avenues of application. The book contains important methodological contributions to the emerging field of longitudinal analysis and is of interest to a wide range of social scientists.Heckman, James J. is the author of 'Longitudinal Analysis of Labor Market Data' with ISBN 9780521304535 and ISBN 0521304539.
