Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The relationship between macroeconomics and the labour market remains a critical area of research, particularly in the face of evolving economic challenges. From the impact of automation and demographic shifts to the consequences of monetary and fiscal policies, understanding labour market dynamics is essential for devising effective economic policies. Recent global disruptions, including the COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical tensions, have further highlighted the need to analyse employment fluctuations, wage dynamics, and labour productivity from a macroeconomic perspective. This Special Issue aims to bring together new insights into how macroeconomic forces shape labour outcomes and how labour market trends, in turn, influence the economy.
Economies invites researchers and scholars to submit their work to a Special Issue entitled “Macroeconomics of the Labour Market”. Some of the topics that this Special Issue may include, but is not limited to, are business cycles and unemployment, labour market frictions, labour productivity and economic growth, the impact of technological change on employment and job polarisation, wage rigidities and unemployment, macroeconomic policies effects on the labour market, demographic trends and labour population ageing, flexibilization and job insecurity, the impact of economic crises and labour market resilience. The papers can be theoretical or empirical, and different approaches are welcomed.
