Description
|
PEAT is an attempt to bring
the tools of economic theory to bear on the labor markets
for those with advanced technical training such as chemists,
bio-medical researchers, physicists, mathematicians,
economists, software engineers and other related
professionals. PEAT is supported and made possible by a
generous grant from the Alfred P. Sloan foundation. PEAT is
slated to produce and/or sponsor a listserver, a lecture
series, a summary conference and more. While PEAT will focus
much of its energy on advanced training in science and
engineering, many of the features of the current labor
market stresses are broader than the traditional S&E
category; fields like medicine, economics, law, and software
development both compete with and resemble aspects of the
traditional science and engineering labor market.
