<big>"Lab Labor: What Can Labor Economists Learn from the Lab?"</big></b><br>
<br>
<i>The economics literature has witnessed an explosion of laboratory
experiments in the past 20 years. Many of these experiments have
focused on topics that are central to the field of labor
economics, including how workers respond to various forms of
compensation, and the economics of discrimination, arbitration,
bargaining, and matching. We survey the contributions of
laboratory experiments to our understanding of these questions.</i><br>
