Resumen

Este trabajo presenta un análisis de los mercados laborales desde la perspectiva de la metodología experimental. El modelo más empleado es el llamado juego de intercambio de obsequios. Para hacer la revisión de esta literatura nos centraremos en tres áreas. Primero analizaremos distintos tipos de incentivos que se consideran en la teoría de contratos y sus efectos sobre los beneficios. En segundo lugar, exploraremos las dificultades que pueden surgir cuando hay comparación y discriminación salarial. Por último, examinaremos las consecuencias de la regulación gubernamental en el mercado de trabajo.
