The Concept and Measurement of Involuntary Unemployment

Originally published in 1976, the 14 papers in this collection discuss the history and significance of the concept of ’involuntary unemployment’, particularly as seen from a Keynesian perspective. The micro-economic foundations of employment and job-search theory and the significance of employment statistics are also examined.
