Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special issue aims to gather papers on how public policies interact with labour markets using macro- and micro-datasets and on the basis of a variety of estimation techniques, covering advanced and emerging markets and developing economies.
The effects of public policies on labour market outcomes (employment, unemployment, and participation rates), and beyond (productivity, income inequalities, and fairness), have been studied extensively over the past few decades. The literature has evolved and policy effects have been re-considered, e.g., i) data coverage has been extended to cover more countries (including developed and developing countries), ii) granular data on policies have became accessible, iii) policy effects may vary over time and across countries, iv) policies interact in important ways with each other, v) micro-level datasets have became detailed, and vi) new econometric methods have gathered prominence.
This Special Issue offers new contributions to this ever-expanding literature.
Dr. Balázs Égert
Guest Editor
