What the paper says

The purpose of this paper is to show the contribution of the conventionalist approach to the analysis of unemployment. The role of labor evaluations is highlighted. This approach leads to very different economic policy positions than those developed by neoclassical theory. Emphasis will be placed on microeconomic aspects, but in order to act in a macroeconomic context, i.e. that of conventions. In contrast to a Keynesian analysis oriented more on the quantitative problems of labor market disequilibrium, the effort here will be to show the importance of qualitative issues.
