Book Synopsis Handbook of Labor Economics by : Orley Ashenfelter
Download or read book Handbook of Labor Economics written by Orley Ashenfelter and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1999-11-18 with total page 930 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern labor economics has continued to grow and develop since the first volumes of this Handbook were published. The subject matter of labor economics continues to have at its core an attempt to systematically find empirical analyses that are consistent with a systematic and parsimonious theoretical understanding of the diverse phenomenon that make up the labor market. As before, many of these analyses are provocative and controversial because they are so directly relevant to both public policy and private decision making. In many ways the modern development in the field of labor economics continues to set the standards for the best work in applied economics. This volume of the Handbook has a notable representation of authors - and topics of importance - from throughout the world.

Book Synopsis Empirical Methods for the Study of Labour Force Dynamics by : Kenneth Wolpin
Download or read book Empirical Methods for the Study of Labour Force Dynamics written by Kenneth Wolpin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-11 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last twenty years there has been an explosion of economic research on labor force dynamics; the movement of individuals between labor force states. This book focuses on the methods by which behavioral theories of labor force dynamics have been empirically implemented. Most attention is paid to the partial equilibrium two-state transitional model of job search behavior. That model is the foundation for much of our thinking about the nature of unemployment at both the individual and aggregate levels. Although the basic formulation has remained the same, approaches to the empirical implementation of such models has changed dramatically.

Book Synopsis Empirical Labor Economics by : Theresa J. Devine
Download or read book Empirical Labor Economics written by Theresa J. Devine and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1991-02-28 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presenting a complete survey of labor economics from the search point of view, this is the first book to coordinate a vast and scattered literature, making an increasingly important and sophisticated area in modern applied economics readily accessible. Completely comprehensive, Empirical Labor Economics covers not only sequential and random search, but all stochastic models of the labor market, and treats underlying economic theory and econometric methods as needed. It examines structural search models, studies directed at particular policy questions--such as the effect of unemployment benefits on unemployment durations--and simple descriptive studies, considering data from all over the world. With valuable summaries and trenchant assessments of the strengths and weaknesses of the search approach, Empirical Labor Economics is essential for those embarking on labor market research.

Book Synopsis Contributions to the Economics of International Labor Standards by : Arnab K Basu
Download or read book Contributions to the Economics of International Labor Standards written by Arnab K Basu and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2017-07-28 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As global production has become dispersed worldwide, so have concerns for the plight of workers employed in the world factory. Standard economic intuitions prescribe sharp tradeoffs between the worker-level benefits that a job confers, and the number of such jobs that are ultimately made available. Such quality-quantity tradeoffs have taken center stage in the global debate on potential benefits and costs of legalizing and enforcing international labor standards. This volume organizes and presents a number of new developments in the economics of international labors standards. The first part of this volume explores a series of labor market institutions particularly in developing country labor markets so far unexplored in international labor standards debate. These include the presence of middlemen market power, the persistence of interlinked debt and labor market exploitations, and the origins of two-tiered labor markets. These studies unveil the determinants of workers' well-being and the associated justification for labor market policy interventions when institutions are lopsided favoring contractors, moneylender-cum-employers, and/or select workers blessed with "good" jobs. The second part explores the effectiveness of policy intervention by explicitly recognizing policy implementation challenges. These include coordination failure in the international context, imperfect enforcement and compliance of national labor regulations, and the limits of market-driven fair trade programs. In doing so, these studies shed light on the pitfalls of wholesale international labor standards prescriptions, and advocate instead in favor of case-by-case approach which duly recognize the specific ways in which the labor market deviate from standard assumptions, and the realities of policy implementation and enforcement difficulties.

Book Synopsis Toward a History of Applied Economics by : Roger Backhouse
Download or read book Toward a History of Applied Economics written by Roger Backhouse and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Histories of economic thought have generally focused on the development of economic theory, notably value and distribution. The activity of applying economic theory to the understanding of particular situations and the solution of specific problems, though a part of the work of economists for several generations, has received relatively little attention from historians of economics. Toward a History of Applied Economics explores such themes as changes in the historical conception of applied economics and its relationship to the "core" of economic theory, the emergence and decline of applied fields, and issues of applying general theoretical tools and concepts to real-world problems. This is the 2000 supplement to the journal History of Political Economy. All 2000 subscribers will receive a copy of this book as part of their annual subscription.

Book Synopsis Three Essays in Applied Economics by : Quinton James Baker
Download or read book Three Essays in Applied Economics written by Quinton James Baker and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My dissertation covers areas in applied economics: labor economics, public economics, and the economics of education. I use a variety of econometric tools and other economic analysis to study welfare program rules and regulations as well as assess the efficacy of a high school science curriculum. My first chapter uses data from the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP), spanning 2003-2013, to estimate whether the ABAWD-specific 20 hour per week minimum work requirement influences their labor supply outcomes and SNAP participation. I employ binary response models to estimate average partial effects (APE) and find the work requirement has statistically significant effects: ABAWDs are 1 percentage point (pp) less likely to participate in SNAP and are 2.6 pp more likely to meet the 20-hourwork requirement. This negative effect of the work requirement on SNAP participation is larger among non-white (1.37 pp), specifically blacks (2.09 pp), suggesting that the impacts of a work requirement must be considered in areas with higher percentages of minorities. This paper contributes to the study of ABAWDs, a relatively understudied population in the context of SNAP.Chapter 2 uses the 2014 Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP), spanning from January 2013 to December 2016, to study the effect of SNAP and Medicaid expansion on labor market outcomes (income, hours worked and employment status) and SNAP participation. Using a suite of empirical methods, I find no evidence that the interaction of the SNAP and Medicaid expansions has an effect on labor outcomes of the head and second adult in a household. However, I do find that the Medicaid expansion increases SNAP participation in states with the least generous state-level SNAP policy options. These findings demonstrate the importance of analyzing the effect of both expansions jointly, as both SNAP and Medicaid serve low income households that may simultaneously choose their labor supply and program participation.Chapter 3 uses data from the NSF funded project Crafting Engaging Science Environments(CESE), a cluster-randomized controlled trial to study the effect of project-based learning on the scientific achievement of high school chemistry and physics students in Michigan and California during the 2018-2019 school year. I extend the analysis conducted in Schneideret al. (2021) and use pooled OLS with school level fixed effects to estimate the treatment effect. I find sound evidence to support the findings in Schneider et al., 2021 that the CESE intervention had a positive and significant effect on students' scientific learning, even in the presence of multiple levels of attrition. The point estimates range from 0.24 to 0.34 standard deviations. Additionally, I compute the Lee Bounds for the estimates and find the bounds do not contain zero, suggesting that differential attrition alone likely does not drive the entire treatment effect.
Book Synopsis The Economics of Imperfect Labor Markets by : Tito Boeri
Download or read book The Economics of Imperfect Labor Markets written by Tito Boeri and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2013-09-24 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most labor economics textbooks pay little attention to actual labor markets, taking as reference a perfectly competitive market in which losing a job is not a big deal. The Economics of Imperfect Labor Markets is the only textbook to focus on imperfect labor markets and to provide a systematic framework for analyzing how labor market institutions operate. This expanded, updated, and thoroughly revised second edition includes a new chapter on labor-market discrimination; quantitative examples; data and programming files enabling users to replicate key results of the literature; exercises at the end of each chapter; and expanded technical appendixes. The Economics of Imperfect Labor Markets examines the many institutions that affect the behavior of workers and employers in imperfect labor markets. These include minimum wages, employment protection legislation, unemployment benefits, active labor market policies, working-time regulations, family policies, equal opportunity legislation, collective bargaining, early retirement programs, education and migration policies, payroll taxes, and employment-conditional incentives. Written for advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students, the book carefully defines and measures these institutions to accurately characterize their effects, and discusses how these institutions are today being changed by political and economic forces. Expanded, thoroughly revised second edition New chapter on labor-market discrimination New quantitative examples New data sets enabling users to replicate key results of the literature New end-of-chapter exercises Expanded technical appendixes Unique focus on institutions in imperfect labor markets Integrated framework and systematic coverage Self-contained chapters on each of the most important labor-market institutions
