Reading course: Firms, products and workers

English
DRE 7035
6 Credits

Introduction

This reading course is taken in agreement with the associate dean for the Economics specialization.

Course content

On the output side, firms offer a collection of products to their customers, while on the input side, firms are a collection of workers with different skill sets, performing different tasks. When demand for a firm’s products shifts, how does it adjust its product mix and how does this adjustment at the product level interact with the distribution of skills within the firm? The student will examine this question by building on recent theoretical and empirical advances in the literature on international trade and labor reallocation.
