"Lab Labor: What Can Labor Economists Learn from the Lab?"*

/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./
