Dr
Smith, Greg I am looking at labour relations in a range of Australian industries from coal to electricity and telecommunications. The focus is on changes in industry structure and the feed through to bargaining over wages, employment and productivity. I am also interested in macroeconomic developments as they spill over into labour market outcomes. The minimum wage debate is relevant in this regard, as are a range of issues relating to the movement of wage (and profit) share in GDP. Also I am currently revisiting issues to do with the operation of State electricity systems; the predominance of coal-fired electricity systems and the emerging relevance of renewable and efficiency options.
