Distinguished Fellow: Mincering Labor Economics
回顾了雅各布·明瑟30多年来的研究贡献,包括人力资本理论、收入决定因素、收入不平等、已婚女性劳动参与决策以及工作流动性,解释其为何对劳动经济学影响深远。
Jacob Mincer has helped set the research agenda and professional style in labor economics for over 30 years. His research helped uncover the empirical content of human capital theory, where he used those ideas to study the determinants of earnings and the sources and nature of earnings inequality. He was also a pioneer in studying labor force participation decisions of married women. For the past decade, Jacob has set his characteristic stamp on the empirical study of job mobility. The following brief survey is meant to convey some of the flavor of Jacob Mincer's work and why it has been so influential in labor economics.
