Undergraduate Intermediate Microeconomics - Math-Intensive (Bepp 250), Matthew Freedman
Matthew Freedman
This course will introduce you to “managerial economics”, the application of microeconomic theory to management problems. Microeconomic theory is a remarkably useful body of ideas for understanding and analyzing the behavior of individuals and firms in a variety of contexts. The goal of the course is to get you to internalize this body of theory well enough so that you can rigorously and efficiently analyze management—as well as other—problems in an economic framework. While this is a “tools” course, we will cover many real-world applications, particularly business applications, throughout the course. We will depart from usual microeconomic policy courses with …

Graduate Labor Economics Ii (Econ 7430/Ilrle 7460), Matthew Freedman
Matthew Freedman
This course is one-fourth of a two-semester sequence in graduate labor economics. This segment will focus on theories of principal-agent models and compensation design; firm, industry, and occupation effects; job search theory; and labor market policy evaluation. In addition to covering the basic theory behind these subjects, we will discuss the major empirical challenges surrounding each topic. We will go on to develop and apply different econometric approaches to dealing with such challenges, including difference-in-differences, instrumental variable estimation, and regression discontinuity.

Lost Jobs And Health Insurance: An Analysis Of The Impact Of Employment Volatility On Firm-Provided Health Insurance Coverage, Fredrik Andersson, Iben Bolvig, Matthew Freedman, Julia Lane
Lost Jobs And Health Insurance: An Analysis Of The Impact Of Employment Volatility On Firm-Provided Health Insurance Coverage, Fredrik Andersson, Iben Bolvig, Matthew Freedman, Julia Lane
Matthew Freedman
It is an established fact that there are high levels of employment volatility in the United States. Despite the importance of employer-provided benefits in the U.S. insurance system, the impact of prior job instability on one’s future ability to obtain insurance coverage is not well understood. This paper finds a negative relationship between the volatility of a worker’s employment and her likelihood of receiving firm-provided health insurance. Previous employment volatility reduces each of the four factors necessary to receive such insurance: a worker’s subsequent chances of getting a job, her chances of getting a job in a firm that offers …

Ilr Impact Brief - Industry Clusters Affect Job Mobility And Earnings Growth, Matthew Freedman
Ilr Impact Brief - Industry Clusters Affect Job Mobility And Earnings Growth, Matthew Freedman
Matthew Freedman
Industry clusters are associated with greater job hopping and faster growth in workers’ earning power relative to the experience of workers at less spatially concentrated companies. Workers in these clusters tend to accept lower starting salaries than peers at more isolated firms in anticipation of rapid gains that accompany movement from job to job within the cluster and the accumulation of industry-specific knowledge. Higher earnings observed among workers in clustered firms may also reflect choices made by workers with certain characteristics to seek employment in an area with a high concentration of similar firms and by companies with certain characteristics …
