Abstract

Since the labor market occupies an essential place in economic theory and policy, this chapter spells out a Post-Keynesian Institutionalist framework for the analysis of labor markets. To achieve this goal, the essential elements of a conception of labor supply consistent with the basic foundations of Post-Keynesian Institutionalism are first presented. Then the same is done in the case of the demand for labor. In both cases, we build on a foundational vision of the behavior of individuals and the nature and performance of firms. Finally, we sketch an integrated theoretical framework for labor market analyses. To that end, the set of relationships and activities that occur in the market are reviewed, with a focus on identifying the institutions that govern those relationships and that, ultimately, constitute the labor market.
