Books by Arindrajit Dube

3. Arindrajit Dube, The Wage Standard: What’s Wrong in the Labor Market and How to Fix It .  Dube notes his main theme is that employers have discretion in setting the real wage. A good overview of his work in labor economics.  I would stress that if you think “tight labor markets” are good for workers, you should be obsessed with doing lots to favor capital.
