Views

Almost ad of my research has been ‘institutional’ in that it involves the study of workplace employment systems The most widelyknown aspect of this research has been on labour market segmentation (dual labour markets). The most significant contribution, however, has been the documentation of how economic institutions (such as internal labour markets) constrain and redirect economic behaviour.

The focus upon workplace employment systems has allowed my research to branch out in various directions — education and training, discrimination, poverty and labour market disadvantage, and manpower planning. By relying more on field research than on econometric modelling, I have been able to study economic decisionmaking directly. This has given my research a firm grounding in economic reality.

lieutenant has also been an advantage in contributing to policy discussions, an activity which I believe should be the ultimate goal of applied economics. From time to time, my research has intersected with new developments in neoclassical economics — human capital, search theory, implicit contracts and the economics of information. In recent years, however, I have become less interested in the efficiency dimension of economic institutions than in how such institutions develop legitimacy and influence income distribution.

I have also become more concerned with the evolution of economic systems, as seen through historical and comparative studies, and in the institutional foundations of such evolution.
