In 1999 he completed a three-year term as Head of the Economics Department.
His main research interests are in macroeconomics and the theory of labor markets, focusing on the influence of labor market frictions in the explanation of unemployment, wage inequality and labor market adjustments. The policy focus of his work has been mainly on the role of active and passive labor market policy in the functioning of labor markets. More recently he has shifted attention to the regulation of businesses and its implications for the labor market. His extensive publication list includes his well-known book on Equilibrium Unemployment Theory, (2nd ed., MIT Press 2000).
