1 Instructors: John S. Earle and Almos Telegdy Department of Economics Central European University COURSE SYLLABUS ADVANCED LABOR ECONOMICS Semester and Time Period of the Course: Fall term, 2016/2017 academic year Course Level: PhD Number of Credits: option of 2 or 4 credits (4 or 8 EST credits). Pre-requisites: Core Microeconomics, Core Econometrics Office hours: Earle: Monday 3-5 and by appointment, Nádor utca 11, Rm. 601a, Tel: , earlej@ceu.edu Telegdy: Tuesday 3-5 and by appointment, Nádor utca 11 Rm. 601b, Tel: , telegdya@ceu.edu Course Description: This course covers selected topics in labor economics for PhD students. Relevant theory will be discussed, but there will be some emphasis on what most labor economists do: applied research that tests or calibrates theories, that evaluates the impact of institutions and policies, or that simply attempts to provide careful description of important labor market phenomena. The course is offered in two modes: the first (for 2 credits) is based on lectures and readings, and the second (for 4 credits) adds two writing assignments, including a research project supervised by the instructors; these are described further below. Learning Outcomes of the course: Knowledge of selected areas of professional research in the field of labor economics. Ability to criticize and evaluate previous research. Capability to carry out labor economics research. Ability to write papers that contribute to the field. Course Requirements There are two options for course requirements and assessment. Option 1 (2 credits) has a comprehensive final exam (on a date to be scheduled by the Department, probably in October) that counts for 100% of the course grade. Option 2 (4 credits) adds two writing assignments: a research prospectus and a paper based on a replication project. The research prospectus should be submitted by October 15 and counts for 5% of the final grade. A draft of the paper is due November 20, and it should be presented to the class, with the final version due December 10 (incorporating comments from the presentation); it counts for 45% of the course grade. Organizing the assignments this way provides an opportunity to explore some area of interest more deeply, to carry out empirical research using microdata, and to experience the process of designing, implementing, writing, and presenting a research paper. The instructors are available for advice, ideas, and feedback
2 throughout, and more guidance on details of these assignments will be provided in the first week of class Under Option 2, the course grade is determined as follows: Exam 50% Prospectus 5% Replication paper 45% In the written work, both the quality of writing and the quality of analysis will be important criteria in grading. Course Schedule and Preliminary Reading list The reading list below serves several functions: it includes literature reviews (typically books, Handbook of Labor Economics chapters, or Journal of Economic Literature articles), classic works that any professional labor economist should be familiar with, and articles that illustrate certain pedagogical points for this course. Essential ( required ) readings are indicated with an asterisk, and additional papers are supplied as suggestions both for the replication projects and for further reading on topics of particular student interest. The list of topics and readings is far too long for the short time of the 2-credit course, but it gives some notion of the scope of topics and ideas in labor economics, and it allows some flexibility in choices of what we cover in class. 1.
