The series Research in Labor Economics began in 1977 by Ronald Ehrenberg and JAI Press and has been published by Elsevier from 1999-2007 and by Emerald since 2008. Solomon Polachek has been editor since 1995. Each volume in this book series consists of a collection of refereed research papers written by top economists in the field of labor economics.
Recent volumes have hosted papers by D. Acemoglu, J. D. Angrist, D. Card, H. Farber, A. Krueger, E. Lazear, G. Field, and J. Mincer, among others. Online table of contents of recent volumes can be found here.
Since 2006, the series has benefited from the contribution of IZA. It was extended to two volumes per year with one volume remaining in the tradition of the series with empirical and theoretical papers in labor economics and a second volume being more policy-oriented, in the spirit of IZA's focus on policy aspects of labor economics. |

NEW VOLUME: Who Loses in the Downturn? Economic Crisis, Employment and Income Distribution
Economic events such as the recent global economic crisis can have substantial effects on the distribution of resources at the individual and household levels. Identification of appropriate and timely policy responses that support vulnerable groups is hampered by how little is known about the likely patterns of losses early on during the downturn. The most recent volume edited by Herwig Immervoll, Andreas Peichl, and Konstantinos Tatsiramos
provides fresh knowledge on the effects of the economic downturn on employment and income distribution. It contains nine original research papers from both Europe and the US, including illustrations of forward-looking simulation methods that can be used before detailed data on actual household experiences become available. These papers offer new insights into issues such as how wages, employment and incomes are affected by the crisis, which demographic groups are most vulnerable in the recession, how well the welfare system protects the newly unemployed and how consumption and income poverty change over the business cycle [more information]. |
