Interview with Alan Manning, Labor Economist and Professor at LSE
About this episode
In this interview, I had the opportunity to talk with a wonderful man, Alan Manning. Dr. Manning is a professor of economics at London School of Economics. He is a labor economist's labor economist. He has beat the steady drum of careful empirical work thinking hard about the welfare of workers and to evaluate the presence that market composition has on their overall well being. We discussed a new paper of his in the Journal of Human Resources trying to explain the source of a wage premium in Germany for workers in urban areas, and whether and to what degree that premium is due to local competition of firms. We talked about his whole career and I hope you enjoy it.
