| Long Description | |
|
His main research interests are in the areas of economic history, labor economics, and financial markets. Previous work included study of the long term relative decline of the British economy and the economic workings of apprenticeship training in Britain and the United States. Many issues that he examines in regard to Britain arise today in the "U.S. versus Japan" debate. Bernard Elbaum is currently doing comparative research on several topics, including: share-work and unemployment compensation; and the relation between employee participation and corporate governance. |
