Throughout my work, I seek to understand policy issues that have consequences for poverty. Data limitations and non-random assignment of policy treatment make meaningful analysis challenging in what I argue are important areas of policy; to overcome the empirical challenge I combine clean natural experiments with rich administrative data to make progress in each literature. In this collection of essays I look at policy factors for three important determinants of economic wellbeing: labor supply, human capital formation, and labor demand. (1) Regarding labor demand, my coauthor and I study the impact of unemployment insurance benefit extensions on the employment of displaced workers. Using a sharp policy change and rich administrative data I procured, we are able to make considerable progress. (2) Teacher quality is the most powerful school-input in human capital formation. To understand how teacher pay affects the quality of teachers, I leverage a federal policy that provides additional compensation to teachers serving sufficiently poor schools. Using a regression discontinuity design and rich education data, I am able to provide further light on this pressing policy issue. (3) Finally, I assess the consequences of a payroll tax that firms pay on the labor demand. Because the tax increases after recessions, workers may bear the tax when the labor market is already weak. I use a discontinuity in the tax schedule and administrative UI data to estimate the consequences of the tax as a deterrent and the effect of the tax once raised.

Employment and Development brings together the contributions of 2014 IZA Prize in Labor Economics award winner Gary S. Fields to address global employment and poverty problems. Most of the poor in developing countries live in households in which people work, but still they are poor because the best available work pays so little. Employment and Development: How Work Can Lead From and Into Poverty questions how economic growth affects standards of living, how labor markets work in developing countries, and how different labor market policies affect well-being. Through a collection of essays, this book tackles major questions in development and labor economics. Who benefits from economic growth and who is hurt by economic decline? Why are distributional factors and labor market conditions improving in some countries but not in others? How do developing countries' labor markets work? How would labor market conditions change if different policies were to be put into effect? What are the welfare consequences of these changes? Through distributional analysis, Fields examines inequality, poverty, income mobility, and economic well-being, and through analysis of changing labor market conditions he examines employment and unemployment, employment composition, and labor earnings. By concentrating on the poor and understanding how the labor markets work for them and how their labor market earnings might be raised in response to different policy interventions, Fields addresses questions of first-order importance for human well-being.

This collection of essays honors a remarkable man and his work. Erik Thorbecke has made significant contributions to the microeconomic and the macroeconomic analysis of poverty, inequality and development, ranging from theory to empirics and policy. The essays in this volume display the same range. As a collection they make the fundamental point that deep understanding of these phenomena requires both the micro and the macro perspectives together, utilizing the strengths of each but also the special insights that come when the two are linked together. After an overview section which contains the introductory chapter and a chapter examining the historical roots of Erik Thorbecke's motivations, the essays in this volume are grouped into four parts, each part identifying a major strand of Erik's work—Measurement of Poverty and Inequality, Micro Behavior and Market Failure, SAMs and CGEs, and Institutions and Development. The range of topics covered in the essays, written by leading authorities in their own areas, highlight the extraordinary depth and breadth of Erik Thorbecke's influence in research and policy on poverty, inequality and development. Acknowledgements These papers were presented at a conference in honor of Erik Thorbecke held at Cornell University on October 10-11, 2003. The conference was supported by the funds of the H. E. Babcock Chair in Food, Nutrition and Public Policy, and the T. H. Lee Chair in World Affairs at Cornell University.
