: ECONOMICS OF HUMAN RESOURCES |
 |
|
| |
| This field covers Labor
Economics, Health Economics, and Human Resource
Economics. Labor Economics is concerned with the
determination of wages and hours of work in
labor markets. Health Economics is concerned
with the production and demand for health care
and how the determinants of demand and supply
affect the costs of various types of health care
services. Human Resources Economics studies
individual, family, and market investments in
various forms of human capital such as
education, on-the-job training, and health. The
field uses the tools of microeconomics and
econometrics to examine empirical issues in the
following areas: |
- Derived demand analysis
- Labor supply
- Labor market structure including
unions, minimum wage laws, and discrimination
- Investment in human capital
- Production and demand for health
care and derived demand for medical care
- Economic models of the family,
including population theory, quantity-quality
substitution in the economics of fertility, and
interactions among family background, ability,
health, education, and earnings
- Supply and demand for physicians'
services, hospital care, nurses and other
personnel
- Uncertainty, health insurance,
and the financing of medical care
