Both labour economists and economic historians agree that it is necessary to look at labour markets in their historical context. \u003cem\u003eLabour Market Evolution\u003c\/em\u003e does just this. \u003cbr\u003e The contributors examine the operation and development of labour markets in Western Europe and North America since 1500. They address the key questions in this complicated process using new quantitative evidence. First, how closely connected were geographically distant labour markets? Second, how flexible were markets in the past - did wages change in response to demand shocks? Did workers move across space and occupations in response to cyclical or seasonal conditions. Third, were relationships between employees and employers short-term or long-term? Why did relationships change, and what were the implications for the flexibility and integration of markets? In examining these factors, this volume draws on modern labour economic theory and up-to-date quantitative techniques to show how current traditions and systems have evolved.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e George Grantham\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415108659\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415108652\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/16\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.81d","brand":"George Grantham","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064867369215,"sku":"9780415108652","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_24e99946-3003-4679-a0d0-a1c7608a66ec.jpg?v=1768671567","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/labour-market-evolution-george-grantham-9780415108652","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
