In this course, we examine the economics of personnel management in organizations. Using mainstream microeconomic and behavioural economic theory, we will consider such issues as recruitment, promotion, financial and non-financial incentives, compensation, job performance, performance evaluation, and investment in personnel. The interplay between theoretical models and empirical evidence will be emphasized in considering different approaches to the management of personnel.
