This week's lecture was on "labor market policy" vs. "economic policy" and how to handle "employment politic". It's been about
Keynes and
his economic ideas as well as
neoclassical economics. He's been talking about supply and demand as drivers or basis for thinking on how to influence the market. He's been talking about the definitions of unemployment rates, and the different
types of unemployment and social security systems, and the effect of
employment protection legislation on the "unemployment rate.
As usual: great to start the week with his lecture!
