Workers and Firms Workshop

The Workers and Firms Workshop facilitated informal interaction and discussion between labor and macroeconomists working on the role that firms play in the wages paid to workers. The goal of the workshop was to bring together economists who would otherwise be in separate groups at the NBER, but are working on similar topics.
