Welcome to Brown Bag Webinar in Economics organized by the Department of Economics, SSE. Seminar guest is David Jackson of Stockholm University.

Department of Economics welcomes you to a seminar with Federico Rossi, University of Warwick, presenting "The Human Side of Structural Transformation". We document that nearly half of the global decline in agricultural employment during the 20th-century was driven by new cohorts entering the labor market. Through the lens of a model of frictional labor reallocation, we conclude that human capital growth, both as a mediating factor and as an independent driver, led to a sharp decline in the agricultural labor supply.
