Session: 63 - Thursday 8th July PM (14.00 - 17.30)

Title: Four Methods in Search of Understanding Labour Markets

Name: Graham Crow

Affiliation: NCRM hub


Abstract Details

This session assembles a diverse set of methods used to study labour markets. The aim is to explore their strengths and limitations in relation to concrete issues, rather than in the abstract, and to explore the rationale behind choices of methods. Methods covered include simulation, ethnography, experiments and systematic reviews. Contributors will consider the challenges that arise in adopting their particular approach and to what extent they see their approach as complementary to or competing with other modes of research.
