- Uses numerical simulations to explore how the U.S. economic system determines employment patterns, wages and workplace safety levels. Examines the impact of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards and the workers' compensation scheme on workplace health and safety. Offers policy recommendations which include eliminating OSHA, increasing research into occupational health and safety, and reforming the workers' compensation system.
