Labor economics

Compared to other countries the unemployment rate in Norway is low and has been relatively stable. To what extent is this explained by institutions in the labor market, active labor market policy, and a mobile labor force? How is the relationship between unemployment and inflation? Will an active labor market policy increase of decrease wage claims? Which factors affects the mobility of labor across regions? This is some of the central questions analyzed by researchers at the Department of Economics.
