BUEC 29901 - Business & Inequality

Course Credit: 1
Maximum Credit: 0
BUSINESS & INEQUALITY This course will look at the role of business in economic inequality. The course will cover both how businesses may influence inequality locally, whether within the firm itself or within a community, and at a broader scope of the US as a whole or internationally. We will investigate the role of firm structure and practices in both widening and narrowing the range of economic outcomes for employees and the population at large. Tentative topics to be covered include: compensation schemes, benefit structures, outsourcing, unionization, selection processes, and human capital accumulation. Prerequisite(s): Take ECON-10100 or instructor permission.
