CLASS DESCRIPTION: This class evaluates the economics of labor markets in the United States and, to a limited degree, internationally. Throughout the course, we looked at a whole host of labor principles: the effects of the minimum wage, the influence of unions, and the consequences of non-wage compensation. 

MY WORK: The course culminates in a quantitative literature review of a major economic principle. Due to my wide interests in economics, I wanted to pick a topic that applies to our current political sphere. I chose healthcare. In my literature review, I examined a paper that evaluated whether or not employees are more or less likely to leave a job to start a business based on whether or not they have employer-sponsored health insurance. This is commonly referred to as "entrepreneurship lock."
