Moreover, contrary to most recent labor research, this book focuses on the demand side-the employer's point of view-and the behavior studied is employer behavior. An introductory essay by the editor provides a useful guide to current thought in the analysis of labor cost. Other papers give new insights into problems encountered in accounting for the nonwage elements of labor compensation, the effect of pensions and other benefits, and the wage-measurement questions raised by incomes policies. In addition, there is a wealth of valuable new data on labor costs in the United States. Labor economists, statisticians, econometric modelers, and advisers to government and industry will welcome this up-to-date and comprehensive treatment of the costs of production. 410 0$aStudies in income and wealth ;$v48. 606 $aEmployee fringe benefits$zUnited States$vCongresses 606 $aLabor costs$zUnited States$vCongresses 610 $aproduction cost, business, nonwage elements, income, wage-measurement, pensions, compensation, economics, fringe benefits, specialized labor, implicit markets, demand elasticities, nonfiction, capitalism, manufacturing, employer behavior, nominal wage growth, inflation, cps, economic models, aggregate, controls programs, policy, economy. 615 0$aEmployee fringe benefits 615 0$aLabor costs 676 $a330 701 $aTriplett$b Jack E$0140633 712 12$aConference on the Measurement of Labor Cost$f(1981 :$eWilliamsburg, Va.) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784967803321 996 $aThe measurement of labor cost$93812222 997 $aUNINA
