Published: 25/07/2023

Welcome to the first issue the Australian Journal of Labour Economics (AJLE) for 2023. In this issue we have, as usual, a range of articles which will be of interest to our readers covering a range of labour market issues and using a variety of approaches to research. This includes a paper, in an occasional series covering a topic of general interest to readers, by Andrew Leigh, a well-known labour economist formerly from the ANU but now an MP and Assistant Minister for Competition, Charities and Treasury. His paper  entitled ‘How Uncompetitive Markets Hurt Workers’ presents an overview of monopsony power in the Australian labour market.
