The paper develops a four-sector general equilibrium model where the fair wage hypothesis is valid and there is agricultural dualism for analyzing the consequence of an inflow of foreign capital on the skilled-unskilled wage inequality and the unemployment of skilled labour in a developing economy. The unskilled workers are fully employed but there is imperfection in the market for unskilled labour. On the contrary, the skilled wage is set by the firms by minimizing the unit cost of skilled labour and their efficiency depends on the relative income distribution and the unemployment rate. The analysis finds that an inflow of foreign capital worsens the relative wage inequality but lowers the unemployment of skilled labour. It provides an alternative theoretical foundation to the empirical finding that inflows of foreign capital might have produced unfavourable effect on the wage inequality in the developing countries during the liberalized regime by increasing the relative demand for skilled labour.
本文建立了一个四部门一般均衡模型,其中公平工资假设有效,并且存在农业二元论,用于分析发展中经济体中外国资本流入对技术-非技术工资不平等和熟练劳动力失业的影响。非技术工人得到充分就业,但非技术劳动力市场存在不完善。相反,技术工人工资是由企业通过最小化技术工人的单位成本来确定的,其效率取决于相对收入分配和失业率。分析发现,外国资本的流入加剧了相对工资不平等,但降低了熟练劳动力的失业率。它为经验发现提供了另一种理论基础,即在自由化制度期间,外国资本的流入可能通过增加对熟练劳动力的相对需求而对发展中国家的工资不平等产生不利影响。

Training Background and Early Retirement 培训背景和提前退休
Pub Date : 2008-06-09 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.1139874

Several studies show that employees with firm-specific skills are more likely to be covered by employer-sponsored pension schemes than workers with general skills. Therefore it can be expected that workers with firm-specific skills retire earlier. This paper tests this prediction using US data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Older Men. We find that workers who participated in firm-specific training in their early careers retire earlier than workers with a general training background. This indicates that shared investments in firm-specific training are embedded in implicit contracts that induce early retirement. The results remain robust when controlling for technological change and work commitment.
几项研究表明,拥有公司特定技能的员工比拥有一般技能的员工更有可能被雇主赞助的养老金计划所覆盖。因此,可以预期,具有公司特定技能的工人退休得更早。本文使用美国老年男性全国纵向调查的数据来验证这一预测。我们发现,在早期职业生涯中参加过公司特定培训的员工比具有一般培训背景的员工更早退休。这表明,对企业特定培训的共同投资嵌入了诱导提前退休的隐性合同中。当控制技术变化和工作承诺时,结果仍然是健壮的。

This paper utilizes a policy change to estimate the effect of teacher density on student performance. We find that an increase in teacher density has a positive effect on student achievement. The baseline estimate – obtained by using the grade point average as the outcome variable – implies that resource increases corresponding to the class-size reduction in the STAR-experiment (i.e., a reduction of 7 students) improves performance by 2.6 percentile ranks (or 0.08 standard deviations). When we use test score data for men, potentially a more objective measure of student performance, the effect of resources appears to be twice the size of the baseline estimate.
本文利用政策变化来估计教师密度对学生表现的影响。我们发现教师密度的增加对学生的成绩有积极的影响。通过使用平均绩点作为结果变量获得的基线估计表明,在star实验中,班级规模的减少(即减少7名学生)会使资源增加,从而使成绩提高2.6个百分点(或0.08个标准差)。当我们使用男性的考试成绩数据时,这可能是一个更客观的学生表现衡量标准,资源的影响似乎是基线估计的两倍。

Development of Wage Inequality for Natives and Immigrants in Germany - Evidence from Quantile Regression and Decomposition 德国本地人和移民工资不平等的发展——来自分位数回归和分解的证据
Pub Date : 2008-06-01 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.1151194

To study the development of wage inequality is important for the economic performance as well as for the development of employment. First, I estimate the remuneration to personal characteristics for Germans and immigrants across the wage distribution using quantile regression. My database is the German socio-economic panel for the period 1984-2006. I find a higher inequality between skill groups for Germans relative to immigrants. The returns to skill for the highest educational attainment are higher for Germans across the wage distribution compared to immigrants. But within-group inequality for the group with the highest educational attainment is higher for immigrants. Both groups have concave experience-earnings profiles. One more year of work experience increases the wage more for Germans. Secondly I use the decomposition method of Melly (2006). Decomposition methods are suitable to get further insights into the question as to whether or not the observable differences in the distribution are caused by the difference in the composition or differences in the estimated coefficients. Immigrants have a negative wage gap relative to Germans. The wage gap rises across the distribution and is due to a rising discrimination of immigrants across the wage distribution for the years 1992 and 2006. For the year 1984 the characteristic effect is responsible for the wage gap. Inequality rises for both groups between the year 1992 and 2006. The increase is much stronger for Immigrants. The coefficient effect is mainly responsible for the wage increase across time for both groups.
研究工资不平等的发展对经济运行和就业发展都具有重要意义。首先,我使用分位数回归估计了德国人和移民在工资分配中的个人特征报酬。我的数据库是1984-2006年间的德国社会经济面板。我发现,相对于移民,德国人的技能群体之间存在更大的不平等。与移民相比,德国人在整个工资分配中,受教育程度最高的技能回报更高。但在移民群体中,受教育程度最高的群体内部的不平等程度更高。这两个群体的经验-收入曲线都是凹形的。对于德国人来说,多一年的工作经验会增加更多的工资。其次,我使用melanie(2006)的分解方法。分解方法适用于进一步了解分布中可观察到的差异是由组成差异引起的,还是由估计系数的差异引起的。与德国人相比,移民的工资差距为负。工资差距在整个分配中不断扩大,这是由于1992年和2006年在工资分配中对移民的歧视不断加剧。就1984年而言,特征效应是造成工资差距的原因。从1992年到2006年,这两个群体的不平等程度都在上升。移民的增长更为强劲。系数效应是导致两组人的工资随时间增长的主要原因。

Analytical Potentials of the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP) for Empirical Educational Research (Analysepotenziale des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP) fuer die empirische Bildungsforschung) 德国社会经济面板(GSOEP)对实证教育研究的分析潜力(SOEP)

In Germany, researchers dealing with questions of empirical educational research rely mainly on cross-sectional data. In addition, there are region- and group-specific longitudinal studies. This paper demonstrates the possibilities for using educationally relevant information from long-running household studies like the Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) to address questions of sociological and economic interest in empirical educational research. Following an in-depth description of the educational information provided in SOEP, we cite selected examples of how these data can be used and also discuss the SOEP's current limitations. We show that the information on social origins and family background in SOEP offers a particularly rich source for empirical study. Through the SOEP's long duration of almost 25 years and its wide coverage of all of Germany, while still allowing for regional differentiations, the survey allows observation of educational processes in different social and economic contexts. Its currently existing limitations lie in measuring competency development and in collecting data on the characteristics of educational institutions.
在德国,研究人员处理实证教育研究的问题主要依赖于横截面数据。此外,还有针对特定区域和群体的纵向研究。本文展示了利用社会经济小组(SOEP)等长期家庭研究中与教育相关的信息来解决实证教育研究中社会学和经济学兴趣问题的可能性。在对SOEP中提供的教育信息进行深入描述之后,我们引用了如何使用这些数据的选定示例,并讨论了SOEP当前的局限性。我们发现社会起源和家庭背景的信息为实证研究提供了特别丰富的资源。该调查历时近25年,覆盖了整个德国,同时仍考虑到地区差异,因此可以观察不同社会和经济背景下的教育过程。它目前存在的局限在于衡量能力发展和收集有关教育机构特征的数据。

When is 'Too Much' Inequality Not Enough? The Selection of Israeli Emigrants 什么时候“过度”不平等还不够?以色列移民的选择

This paper examines the effect of inequality on the incentives to emigrate according to a person’s observable and unobservable skills. Borjas (1987) shows that higher skilled individuals are more likely to emigrate than lower skilled individuals when the returns to skill are higher in a potential foreign destination. Building on this framework, we develop a model which shows that this prediction holds for observable skills like education which are "general" in the sense of being easily transferable to another country. However, we show that the relationship between unobservable skills and the probability of emigrating is an inverse U-shape - since unobservable skills are a mixture of "general skills" and "country-specific skills" which are not easily transferable. We examine the predictions of our model with a unique data set containing information on who emigrates from Israel between 1995 and 2004, combined with a full set of demographic and labor market variables for both movers and stayers in 1995. By exploiting differences between Israel and the United States in the returns to observable (education) and unobservable skills across different sectors (industries and occupations), we find strong evidence that a lower return to unobservable skills in Israel versus the US entices higher ability Israelis to leave the country. Also, we find that virtually the entire positive relationship between education and the rate of emigration would be eliminated if the returns to education were increased in Israel to US levels within each industry. Overall, the results strongly support our model and the importance of differentiating between general and "country-specific" skills in the analysis of immigrant selection.
本文根据一个人的可观察技能和不可观察技能考察了不平等对移民动机的影响。Borjas(1987)表明,当一个潜在的外国目的地的技能回报更高时,高技能个体比低技能个体更有可能移民。在这个框架的基础上,我们开发了一个模型,该模型表明,这一预测适用于教育等可观察到的技能,这些技能在容易转移到另一个国家的意义上是“通用的”。然而,我们表明,不可观察技能与移民概率之间的关系是倒u型的——因为不可观察技能是“一般技能”和“特定国家技能”的混合体,这些技能不容易转移。我们用一个独特的数据集来检验我们模型的预测,该数据集包含1995年至2004年间从以色列移民的信息,并结合1995年迁入者和滞留者的一整套人口和劳动力市场变量。通过利用以色列和美国在不同部门(行业和职业)的可观察技能(教育)和不可观察技能回报方面的差异,我们发现强有力的证据表明,与美国相比,以色列的不可观察技能回报较低,吸引了高能力的以色列人离开该国。此外,我们发现,如果以色列每个行业的教育回报都提高到美国的水平,那么教育与移民率之间几乎全部的正相关关系将被消除。总的来说,结果有力地支持了我们的模型,以及在移民选择分析中区分一般技能和“特定国家”技能的重要性。

Firm Dynamics and Labor Market Consequences 企业动态和劳动力市场后果
Pub Date : 2008-05-22 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.926489
H. Morita
This article explores a new model of firm dynamics that incorporates workers, their accumulation of specific human capital, and their mobility. A firm's production efficiency is determined by the levels of its managerial capability and its workers' firm-specific human capital in the model. Elaborating on the connection between firm dynamics and specific human capital, I show that the importance of managerial capability systematically influences firm dynamics and employment practices. The model offers a new perspective on the public policy implications of apparently anticompetitive entry restrictions. By incorporating a government that can enforce entry regulations in the model, I demonstrate that entry restrictions can improve welfare by mitigating the underinvestment problem in specific human capital.

本文探讨了一个新的企业动态模型,该模型将工人、他们的特定人力资本积累和他们的流动性结合起来。在模型中,企业的生产效率由企业的管理能力水平和工人的企业特有人力资本水平决定。在阐述企业动态和特定人力资本之间的联系时,我表明了管理能力的重要性系统地影响着企业动态和雇佣实践。该模型对明显反竞争的进入限制的公共政策影响提供了一个新的视角。通过在模型中加入一个可以执行准入规定的政府,我证明了准入限制可以通过缓解特定人力资本的投资不足问题来改善福利。作者2010。牛津大学出版社代表耶鲁大学出版。版权所有。有关许可,请发送电子邮件:journals.permissions@oxfordjournals.org,牛津大学出版社。

Universities-Driven Entrepreneurship Model - Creating Pockets of High Entrepreneurial Activity in Pakistan 大学驱动的创业模式——在巴基斯坦创造高创业活动的口袋
Pub Date : 2008-05-20 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.1135115
H. Khawar
The paper highlights the relationship between economic growth and entrepreneurship, while appreciating the difference between necessity entrepreneurship and opportunity entrepreneurship, based on the available literature, and asserts that creation, survival and success of new ventures is an area which has traditionally been ignored by policy makers in Pakistan despite its potential to broaden economic base, contribute substantially towards economic growth and strengthen the process of wealth creation. The paper establishes that universities are a natural choice to initiate and promote opportunity entrepreneurship in the society. The paper then, capitalizing on key international examples and keeping in view the local circumstances/factors, proposes a framework - Universities-driven Entrepreneurship Model - for creating pockets of high entrepreneurial activity around universities. The paper presents specific policy recommendations for government and suggests key interventions for universities that can facilitate in transforming universities into entrepreneurial activity hubs, thus contributing towards national economic growth.
本文强调了经济增长与企业家精神之间的关系,同时根据现有文献,对必要性企业家精神和机会企业家精神之间的差异进行了评价,并断言,尽管新企业具有扩大经济基础的潜力,但新企业的创造、生存和成功是巴基斯坦决策者传统上忽视的一个领域。为经济增长作出重大贡献,并加强创造财富的进程。本文认为,大学是发起和促进社会机会创业的自然选择。然后,本文借鉴了重要的国际案例,并考虑到当地的情况/因素,提出了一个框架——大学驱动的创业模式——用于在大学周围创造高创业活动的口袋。本文为政府提出了具体的政策建议,并为大学提出了关键的干预措施,这些措施可以促进大学向创业活动中心的转变,从而为国家经济增长做出贡献。

Quantifying the Advantage of Secondary Mathematics Study for Accounting and Finance Undergraduates 量化会计、金融专业大学生中学数学学习的优势

We examine the role that secondary mathematics plays in the performance of students in introductory business courses. Students who pass more advanced secondary mathematics subjects perform significantly better in introductory business courses. This 'mathematics effect' is significantly stronger than the effect of other business-related secondary subjects, such as economics or accounting. Our findings also confirm previous studies showing that secondary accounting is beneficial for studying first-year tertiary accounting.

我们考察了中学数学在学生商科入门课程的表现中所起的作用。通过更多高级中学数学课程的学生在商科入门课程中表现明显更好。这种“数学效应”明显强于其他与商业相关的次要科目,如经济学或会计学。我们的研究结果也证实了先前的研究表明,二级会计有利于学习第一年的三级会计。但有趣的是,我们发现学习二级经济学可能会减损学生在某些课程中的三级入门成绩。我们的研究结果对教育工作者和管理人员以及当前的中学生都有启示。版权(c)作者。期刊汇编(c) 2008 AFAANZ。

Prior accounting education literature documents that students typically associate accounting subjects with negative perceptions, but there are also recent suggestions that the stereotype of the accountant has positive associations. These perceptions of accounting are likely to affect students' attitudes towards learning and, consequently, influence their performance. We examine the relationship between students' perceptions and students' performance. The present study involved undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in management accounting subjects. Our findings indicate that students' performance is negatively affected by the negative perceptions of accounting that students bring to the subject. Our findings also suggest that positive perceptions of accounting held by students at the end of the semester have a positive impact on students' performance. Copyright (c) 2007 The Authors.

先前的会计教育文献表明,学生通常将会计科目与负面看法联系起来,但最近也有建议认为,对会计的刻板印象具有积极的联系。这些对会计的看法可能会影响学生对学习的态度,从而影响他们的表现。我们研究了学生的认知和学生的表现之间的关系。本研究以管理会计专业的本科生和研究生为研究对象。我们的研究结果表明,学生对会计的负面看法对学生的表现产生了负面影响。我们的研究结果还表明,学生在学期结束时对会计的积极看法对学生的表现有积极的影响。版权所有(c) 2007作者期刊汇编(c) 2007 AFAANZ。
