Antes de llegar al 13: historia y balance de las Jornadas de Economía Laboral (1995-2017)

Abstract

This article presents an analysis of the twelve Jornadas de Economa Laboral (JEL) held between 1995 and 2017. First, we describe the origins of JEL and the evolution experience along its history. Next, we analyse the observed trends in terms of co-authorships, the language used, the topics considered in the contributions and the collaboration networks between authors of different institutions. This analysis allows us to obtain some conclusions on how the research in Labour Economics has evolved in Spain during the last three decades.
