Michael Reich's general research interests cut across areas of labor economics as well as the history of economic thought. Within labor economics, he is interested in institutional differences - such as managerial intensity and corporate governance structures - and their consequences for economic performance across the U.S., Western Europe, and Japan. He also maintains interests in labor market segmentation and inequality in the U.S. Within the history of economic thought, he is interested in relating the evolution of economic thought in the 20th century to distinct historical stages and institutional structures of capitalism, as developed in his previous work on social structures of accumulation.
