Utilizzando un grande dataset rappresentante del mercato del lavoro italiano, l'articolo valuta le recenti riforme strutturali in Italia, in particolare il cosiddetto Jobs Act e uno schema su larga scala di sussidi all'occupazione. Usando tecniche di differenza nella differenza, l'autore mostra che le riforme hanno avuto un impatto positivo sul numero di contratti di lavoro a tempo indeterminato "standard" come parte dei nuovi contratti di lavoro. Tuttavia, non sara possibile sbrogliare l'impatto delle varie riforme prima di diversi anni. Using a large dataset representative of the Italian labour market, the article evaluates the recent structural reforms in Italy, especially the so-called Jobs Act and a large-scale scheme of employment subsidies. Using difference-in-difference techniques, the author shows that the reforms had a positive impact on the number of "standard" open-ended employment contracts as a share of new employment contracts. However, disentangling the impact of the various reforms will not be possible before several years. JEL: J08, J21, D04
这篇文章利用意大利劳动力市场的大型数据集,评估了意大利最近的结构性改革,特别是所谓的《就业法案》和大规模的就业补贴计划。作者利用差异化技术表明,改革对作为新就业合同一部分的“标准”不限成员名额的雇佣合同数量产生了积极影响。但是,在几年内不可能消除各种改革的影响。使用意大利劳动力市场的大型数据集,这些文章评估了意大利不断上升的结构改革,特别是所谓的《就业法案》和一项大规模的就业补贴计划。使用不同的技术,这表明改革对作为新就业合同的一部分而开放的“标准”合同的数量产生了积极的影响。在未来几年内,不可能感受到各种改革的影响。J08, J21, D04

Integration of Immigrants in Host Countries - What We Know and What Works 移民在东道国的融合——我们所知道的和有效的
Pub Date : 2017-03-01 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3085936
T. Frattini
Integration of immigrants is at the forefront of policy concerns in many countries. This paper starts by documenting that in most European countries immigrants face significant labour market disadvantages relative to natives. Then it discusses how public policies may affect immigrants’ integration. First, we review the evidence on the effectiveness of language and introduction courses. Then, we discuss how different aspects of the migration policy framework may determine immigrants’ integration patterns. In particular, based on a review of the recent literature, we highlight the role of visa length and of predictability about migration duration in shaping migrants’ decisions on investments in country-specific human and social capital. Further, we discuss implications for refugee migration and also review the role of citizenship acquisition rules. The paper ends with an outlook of the consequences for sending countries.
移民融合是许多国家政策关注的首要问题。本文首先记录了在大多数欧洲国家,移民相对于当地人面临着显著的劳动力市场劣势。然后讨论了公共政策如何影响移民的融合。首先,我们回顾了语言和入门课程有效性的证据。然后,我们讨论了移民政策框架的不同方面如何决定移民的融合模式。特别是,基于对近期文献的回顾,我们强调了签证长度和移民持续时间的可预测性在影响移民对特定国家人力和社会资本投资决策方面的作用。此外,我们还讨论了对难民移民的影响,并审查了公民身份获得规则的作用。论文最后展望了对派遣国的影响。

Competition and Innovation in Retail Electricity Markets: Evidence from Italy 零售电力市场的竞争与创新:来自意大利的证据
Pub Date : 2017-02-01 DOI: 10.1111/ecaf.12216
C. Stagnaro
Italy's 2015 Annual Competition Law, if finally approved, provides for phasing out retail electricity price regulation, as well as the implementation of full retail liberalisation, from 1 July 2018. This is a significant reform, not just because it is consistent with the broader market design for electricity. Indeed, retail liberalisation is a qualifying element of the full integration of the European Union's electricity market. The full opening of retail markets provides a great opportunity for innovation, both on the demand side and on the supply side. This article investigates the theoretical background, and presents some empirical evidence, on the competition–innovation nexus in retail electricity markets.
意大利2015年度竞争法如果最终获得批准,将从2018年7月1日起逐步取消零售电价监管,并实施全面零售自由化。这是一项重大改革,不仅因为它与更广泛的电力市场设计相一致。事实上,零售自由化是欧盟电力市场全面一体化的先决条件。零售市场的全面开放为需求侧和供给侧的创新提供了巨大的机遇。本文研究了零售电力市场竞争与创新关系的理论背景,并提供了一些实证证据。

Evidence of the Impacts of Minimum Wages on Labor Market Outcomes: The Case of Bolivia 最低工资对劳动力市场结果影响的证据:玻利维亚的案例

Economic theory suggests that minimum wages may lead to unemployment; nevertheless, empirical evidence in developed economies stays ambiguous. Evidence from developing countries is even more heterogenous due to the low law enforcement and weaker labor market institutions. Thus, our aim is to assess the impact of minimum wage increases on labor market outcomes in Bolivia, a country characterized by weak law compliance and high informality. Our identification strategy exploits differences in exposure to minimum wage increases across subsets of population for the period 2006-2013. Our results show positive and significant effects over real wages for men with no effects on employment, informalization or hours worked. Furthermore, we find evidence of gender discrimination since women are prone to suffer unemployment and informalization while not benefiting from higher real wages as men do.
经济理论表明,最低工资可能导致失业;然而,发达经济体的经验证据仍然模糊不清。来自发展中国家的证据由于执法水平低和劳动力市场制度薄弱而更加参差不齐。因此,我们的目的是评估最低工资增长对玻利维亚劳动力市场结果的影响,玻利维亚是一个法律遵从性弱、非正式性高的国家。我们的识别策略利用了2006-2013年期间不同人群对最低工资增长的影响差异。我们的研究结果显示,对男性的实际工资有积极而显著的影响,而对就业、非正式化或工作时间没有影响。此外,我们还发现了性别歧视的证据,因为女性容易遭受失业和非正规化,而不像男性那样从更高的实际工资中受益。

The study was undertaken to analyse the extent, diversity, inequality and determinants of income of rural households in Jharkhand-one of the most poverty stricken state of India. The study is based on the high frequency primary data collected from 160 rural households by resident investigators under the ICAR-ICRISAT collaborative project on “Tracking Changes in Rural Poverty in Household and Village Economies in South Asia”. Both descriptive and quantitative methodologies were used to analyse the above issues. Tabular analysis was used to assess the level of income among different categories of rural households. While Herfindahl-Hirschman Index was used to assess the diversity of income sources, income inequality was measured by Ginni Ratio and Lorenz curve. Further, the linear regression model was used to identify the determinants of income of rural households in tribal dominated areas of the state. The study depicted a wide variation in the level of income among different categories of households with high and pervasive income inequality among them. Though the income inequality did not exhibit a consistent relationship with farm size, the extent of inequality was found highest among labour households. Education, adoption of high yielding varieties and access to non-farm income opportunities emerged as the significant determinants of income. These findings explicitly call for sustained efforts to create rural non-farm employment opportunities, promote adoption of modern agricultural technologies and enhance education among rural households in the study area.
进行这项研究是为了分析贾坎德邦农村家庭收入的范围、多样性、不平等和决定因素,贾坎德邦是印度最贫困的州之一。该研究基于ICAR-ICRISAT合作项目“ - œTracking南亚农村贫困在家庭和村庄经济中的变化”下的居民调查人员从160个农村家庭收集的高频原始数据。描述性和定量方法都被用于分析上述问题。采用表格分析法对不同类别农村家庭的收入水平进行了评估。衡量收入来源多样性的指标是赫芬达尔-赫希曼指数,衡量收入不平等的指标是基尼比和洛伦兹曲线。此外,使用线性回归模型来确定该州部落占主导地位地区农村家庭收入的决定因素。该研究描述了不同类别家庭之间收入水平的巨大差异,这些家庭之间普遍存在严重的收入不平等。虽然收入不平等与农场规模没有一致的关系,但不平等的程度在劳动家庭中最高。教育、采用高产品种和获得非农业收入机会成为收入的重要决定因素。这些发现明确要求持续努力创造农村非农业就业机会,促进采用现代农业技术,并加强研究地区农村家庭的教育。

As Easy as ABC? Multidimensional Screening in Public Finance 像ABC一样简单?公共财政中的多维筛选
Pub Date : 2017-01-03 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2918716

We characterize the second-best allocation in a Mirrleesian optimal tax model where agents differ in multiple dimensions and the planner can tax multiple goods non-linearly. We develop a new method that allows us to solve the partial differential equations that describe the optimum regardless of the dimensionality of the problem. We derive four theoretical properties of the optimum. First, the optimal tax system is described by a multidimensional version of Diamond’s (1998) and Saez’ (2001) ABC-formula. Second, the Atkinson-Stiglitz theorem does not generalize to settings where the planner screens in multiple dimensions. Third, the optimal marginal tax rate on each good depends on the consumption level of multiple goods. Fourth, a no-distortion at the top/bottom result continues to hold. A calibrated simulation on taxation of couples shows a strong positive relationship between an individual’s optimal marginal tax rate and the income earned by his spouse.
我们在米尔利最优税收模型中描述了次优分配,其中代理人在多个维度上存在差异,计划者可以对多个商品非线性征税。我们开发了一种新的方法,使我们能够解决描述最优问题的偏微分方程,而不考虑问题的维度。我们导出了最优的四个理论性质。首先,最优税收制度是用Diamond(1998)和Saez (2001) abc公式的多维版本来描述的。其次,阿特金森-斯蒂格利茨定理不能推广到计划器在多个维度上进行筛选的情况。第三,每种商品的最优边际税率取决于多种商品的消费水平。第四,顶部/底部的无扭曲结果继续保持不变。一项针对夫妻税收的校准模拟显示,个人的最优边际税率与其配偶的收入之间存在强烈的正相关关系。

Buyer’s intentions are varied which can get impacted with visual contacts, stimulus interaction and perceptual interfaces. The current study has attempted to analyse the moderating role of disposable income on the relationship of visual merchandise and impulse buying behaviour of consumers. This has also intended to explore the relationships between Visual Marketing and Impulse Buying Behaviour. Being descriptive in nature the study has incorporated multiple regression and correlation analysis to test the presumptions. The statistical inferences have supported the presumptions which have further suggested the managerial implications.

Powerful currents have reshaped the structure of families over the last century. There has been (i) a dramatic drop in fertility and greater parental investment in children; (ii) a rise in married female labor-force participation; (iii) a decline in marriage and a rise in divorce; (iv) a higher degree of assortative mating; (v) more children living with a single mother; (vi) shifts in social norms governing premarital sex and married women's roles in the labor market. Macroeconomic models explaining these aggregate trends are surveyed. The relentless flow of technological progress and its role in shaping family life are stressed.

Saving Spence from Destroying His Own Signaling Theory 拯救斯宾塞,让他免于破坏自己的信号理论

This paper rescues Spence from destroying his own theory: his conclusion of (workers preferring) no signaling. This paper proves that Spence’s theory is nothing but a labor supply one. As such worker will increase labor and schooling quantity when wage rate is higher, not cost. This paper proves that signaling helps widen the wage gap between efficient and inefficient workers, but advocates against such discrimination. This paper also corrects Spence’s bad assumption: his wrong perception about cost.
这篇论文使斯宾塞免于破坏他自己的理论:他的(工人倾向于)没有信号的结论。本文论证了斯宾塞的劳动供给理论。因此,当工资水平提高时,工人将增加劳动和受教育的数量,而不是成本。本文证明了信号有助于扩大高效率和低效率工人之间的工资差距,但主张反对这种歧视。本文还纠正了斯宾塞的错误假设:他对成本的错误认识。

Optimal Trade Policy, Equilibrium Unemployment and Labor Market Inefficiency 最优贸易政策、均衡失业与劳动力市场无效率
Pub Date : 2016-10-01 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2713397

Abstract Why do politicians advocate trade protections to save domestic jobs when neoclassical trade models suggest that small open economies should implement free trade? The novel insight of this paper is that trade protections can be rationalized as a second-best policy that improves the domestic welfare when the equilibrium unemployment is different from the constrain-efficient unemployment. To understand the puzzle, I incorporate a Diamond-Mortensen-Pissarides frictional labor market into the standard Heckscher-Ohlin model of international trade. The model offers four main findings. First, when the relative price of the labor (capital)-intensive good increases, equilibrium unemployment decreases (increases). Second, a labor market in a competitive equilibrium is constrained-efficient when the Hosios condition is satisfied. Third, a capital-abundant country with inefficiently high unemployment may experience welfare losses from trade. Conditional on having the same observed trade share, a labor-abundant country with inefficiently high unemployment have extra welfare gains from international trade. Finally and importantly, when the labor market in a small open economy generates inefficiently high equilibrium unemployment, the optimal trade policy is to raise the domestic price of its labor-intensive goods (an import tariff in a capital-abundant country and an export subsidy in a labor-abundant country). Free trade is optimal only when a labor market is initially efficient. The model predictions are supported by patterns of tariffs in WTO member countries.
当新古典主义贸易模型建议小型开放经济体实施自由贸易时,为什么政治家们主张贸易保护以挽救国内就业?本文的新见解是,当均衡失业与约束有效失业不同时,贸易保护可以被合理化为改善国内福利的次优政策。为了理解这个谜题,我将Diamond-Mortensen-Pissarides摩擦劳动力市场纳入了标准的Heckscher-Ohlin国际贸易模型。该模型提供了四个主要发现。首先,当劳动(资本)密集型商品的相对价格增加时,均衡失业减少(增加)。其次,当Hosios条件满足时,处于竞争均衡的劳动力市场是约束有效的。第三,一个资本充裕但失业率低的国家可能会因贸易而遭受福利损失。在观察到的贸易份额相同的条件下,一个劳动力丰富但失业率低的国家从国际贸易中获得了额外的福利收益。最后也是重要的一点是,当一个小型开放经济体的劳动力市场产生低效的高均衡失业率时,最优的贸易政策是提高劳动密集型产品的国内价格(在资本充足的国家征收进口关税,在劳动力充足的国家提供出口补贴)。只有当劳动力市场最初有效时,自由贸易才是最优的。该模型的预测得到了世贸组织成员国关税模式的支持。
{"title":"Optimal Trade Policy, Equilibrium Unemployment and Labor Market Inefficiency","authors":"Wisarut Suwanprasert","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.2713397","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.2713397","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract Why do politicians advocate trade protections to save domestic jobs when neoclassical trade models suggest that small open economies should implement free trade? The novel insight of this paper is that trade protections can be rationalized as a second-best policy that improves the domestic welfare when the equilibrium unemployment is different from the constrain-efficient unemployment. To understand the puzzle, I incorporate a Diamond-Mortensen-Pissarides frictional labor market into the standard Heckscher-Ohlin model of international trade. The model offers four main findings. First, when the relative price of the labor (capital)-intensive good increases, equilibrium unemployment decreases (increases). Second, a labor market in a competitive equilibrium is constrained-efficient when the Hosios condition is satisfied. Third, a capital-abundant country with inefficiently high unemployment may experience welfare losses from trade. Conditional on having the same observed trade share, a labor-abundant country with inefficiently high unemployment have extra welfare gains from international trade. Finally and importantly, when the labor market in a small open economy generates inefficiently high equilibrium unemployment, the optimal trade policy is to raise the domestic price of its labor-intensive goods (an import tariff in a capital-abundant country and an export subsidy in a labor-abundant country).
