On the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the Brookings Panel on Economic Activity, I review the extensive body of research that has appeared in the Brookings Papers on Economic Activity (BPEA) on the labor market. Much of the research deals with unemployment, a topic of great interest in macroeconomic analysis and policy. I trace the evolution of modern economic analysis of unemployment and the major contributions relating to unemployment in the pages of the Brookings Papers. I also review a number of important contributions to other aspects of labor economics that are part of the BPEA legacy.

布鲁金斯小组对劳动力市场研究的贡献

在布鲁金斯经济活动委员会成立五十周年之际，我回顾了布鲁金斯经济活动论文( BPEA ) 中出现的关于劳动力市场的大量研究。许多研究涉及失业，这是宏观经济分析和政策中非常感兴趣的话题。我在布鲁金斯论文中追溯了现代失业经济学分析的演变以及与失业有关的主要贡献。我还回顾了一些对劳动经济学其他方面的重要贡献，这些都是BPEA遗产的一部分。
