Research Handbook on the Economics of Labor and Employment Law, Hardcover by Estlund, Cynthia L. (EDT); Wachter, Michael L. (EDT), ISBN 1849801010, ISBN-13 9781849801010, Like New Used, Free P&P in the UKIn the early 1980s, the rise of neoclassical economics gradually brought a similar upheaval in the field of labor law, challenging thinking on union organizing, employment contracts and even anti-discrimination efforts. Today the field has achieved some new centers of agreement, but it is always marked by the infusion of new ideas, such as those brought about by game theory or the observation of norms of fairness in shaping human behavior. Couple that with behavioral analysis which looks at what actually happens outside of theory and one still has a field in ferment. Edited by Estlund (law, New York U.) and Wachter (law, U. of Pennsylvania) this work looks at the current situation from a variety of perspectives, with the only commonality being the general agreement that economic forces need to be brought into consideration. The contributors are predominately professors of law in the United States. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
