This is the first of three volumes containing published and unpublished economic papers of Orley Ashenfelter written between 1966 and 1995. A complete and cross-referenced chronological list of all the works featured in this set is included. The volumes begin with an interview in which Professor Ashenfelter covers highlights of his professional life, a discussion of many of the essays and papers featured in these volumes, and his reflections on the development of economics over the course of his long and distinguished career. Education, Training and Discrimination and Economic Institutions and the Demand and Supply of Labor are the companion volumes to Employment, Labor Unions and Wages, which together provide a distinguished collection of Ashenfelter’s essays.
