IAB Colloquium on Labour Market and Occupational Research 2010
The discussion series "Labour Market and Occupational Research (IAB-Colloquium zur Arbeitsmarkt- und Berufsforschung)" is a forum where primarily external researchers present the results of their work and discuss these with experts from IAB. Normally discussion revolves around projects that have already been completed or are at a fairly advanced stage. The main aim of the discussion series is to support the exchange of information between IAB and other research institutes. Practitioners from the political, administrative and business fields are naturally also welcome.
Roughly 6 to 8 of the scheduled dates for the colloquium are reserved for a particular topic which changes each year. This year the focus will be on "The labour market in the macroeconomic context". The talks will deal, for example, with the concepts employment threshold (Beschäftigungsschwelle) and NAIRU (Non-Accelerating Inflation Rate of Unemployment); the estimation of structural unemployment in Germany; the link between wage rigidity and unemployment; and the influence of labour market institutions.
Location
Unless otherwise stated, the colloquia take place at the Institute for Employment Research (Institut für Arbeitsmarkt- und Berufsforschung (IAB), room 126a.
