Morris M. Kleiner

Morris M. Kleiner is an influential economist known for his research on labor markets, specifically regarding occupational licensing and regulation. He examines how licensing affects job opportunities, wages, and economic efficiency. Kleiner argues that while licensing can ensure quality and safety in professions, it may also create barriers to entry and limit competition, which can harm consumers and potential workers. His work contributes to the understanding of how government policies shape the labor market and the economy overall, helping policymakers strike a balance between regulation and accessibility in various professions.
