In this episode at Economists on Zoom Getting Coffee (#ezgc) we host Anna Stansbury, incoming Professor at MIT Sloan's Work and Organization Studies. She is also a non-resident senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics.
Anna’s research is rigorous, timely and highly policy-relevant. Her research focuses on labor and macro economics, with particular focus on issues to do with labor market power, as an explanation for the slow growth or decline in wages for the average worker.
In this episode we discuss the basics about the divergence between productivity and pay, worker unions, the pros and cons of unionization, as well as the type of regulation that can increase worker power.
