This research explores how different parental leave reforms in West Germany impacted on the time mothers and fathers in couples spent on child care. I investigate indirect effects through mothers' labor market return decisions more in detail than previous studies and also examine potential direct associations of reforms of the leave period and benefits with maternal and paternal care time. The analysis uses multilevel multiprocess models for 1299 couples with a first or second birth based on data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (1984-2009). I estimate simultaneously the timing and extent of mothers' labor market return, selection into childbearing, and maternal and paternal child care time over the years following a first or second birth. The findings suggest that the extensions of the maximum period of low-paid or unpaid leave between 1986 and 1992 and the introduction of shorter well-paid leave and two 'daddy months' in 2007 indirectly affected maternal and paternal child care through changes in mothers' work return decisions. Even after controlling for these indirect effects and fathers' take-up of leave, the parental leave extensions were directly associated with longer maternal care time on weekdays, whereas father involvement in child care increased after the 2007 reform.
本研究探讨了西德不同的育婴假改革如何影响夫妻双方在照顾孩子上花费的时间。我比以前的研究更详细地调查了母亲的劳动力市场回报决策的间接影响,并研究了休假期和福利改革与母亲和父亲护理时间的潜在直接联系。基于德国社会经济小组(1984-2009)的数据,该分析使用了1299对第一胎或第二胎夫妇的多层次多过程模型。我同时估计了母亲返回劳动力市场的时间和程度,选择生育,以及母亲和父亲在第一胎或第二胎后的几年里照顾孩子的时间。研究结果表明,1986年至1992年期间低薪或无薪假期的最长期限延长,以及2007年引入的较短的高薪假期和两个“爸爸月”,通过改变母亲的工作回归决定,间接影响了母亲和父亲对孩子的照顾。即使在控制了这些间接影响和父亲休假之后,育儿假的延长与母亲在工作日照顾孩子的时间直接相关,而父亲在2007年改革后参与照顾孩子的时间增加了。

University Admission In Russia: Do the Wealthier Benefit from Standardized Exams? 俄罗斯大学录取:标准化考试对富人有利吗?

This paper examines the impact of family income on the results of the Unified State Examination (the USE) and university choice in Russia. We argue that, even under the USE, which was introduced instead of high school exit exams and university-specific entrance exams, entrants from wealthy households still have an advantage in terms of access to higher education, since income positively affects USE scores through the channel of a higher level of investment in pre-entry coaching. Moreover, richer households make more effective decisions about university. We have found positive and significant relationships between the level of income and USE results for high school graduates, with an equal achievement before coaching. We subsequently propose that students from the most affluent households do invest more in additional types of preparation (pre-entry courses and individual lessons with tutors), and those extra classes provide a higher return for children from this particular income group. Finally, we show that holding the result of the USE equal, students with good and fair marks from wealthy families are admitted to universities with higher average USE score than those from poorer families. As a result, we can observe that income status is a factor that significantly influences enrollment to university.
本文考察了家庭收入对俄罗斯统一国家考试(USE)成绩和大学选择的影响。我们认为,即使在USE下,它取代了高中毕业考试和大学入学考试,来自富裕家庭的进入者在接受高等教育方面仍然具有优势,因为收入通过更高水平的入学前辅导投资渠道积极影响USE分数。此外,富裕的家庭对大学的选择更有效。我们发现,高中毕业生的收入水平与USE结果之间存在显著的正相关关系,在接受辅导之前也存在同样的关系。我们随后提出,来自最富裕家庭的学生确实会在额外类型的准备(入学前课程和导师的个人课程)上投入更多,这些额外的课程为来自这一特定收入群体的孩子提供了更高的回报。最后,我们表明,在使用结果相同的情况下,来自富裕家庭的成绩良好且公平的学生被大学录取的平均使用分数高于来自贫困家庭的学生。因此,我们可以观察到,收入状况是一个显著影响大学入学率的因素。

Student Loans and Early Post-Graduation Earnings: Evidence from Decomposition Analysis 学生贷款与毕业后早期收入:来自分解分析的证据

Student loans increase educational opportunities for students from all backgrounds. They have also been criticized as imposing financial and psychological hardships. We employ the data from restricted-use National Surveys of Recent College Graduates to conduct an in-depth investigation of the relationship between student loans and post-graduation labor market outcomes. Graduates with loans have systematically lower earnings than graduates without loans. Decomposition estimations show that most of the earnings differential is due to factors related to the choice and performance in college and unobservables. Student borrowers could benefit from more information about net returns to higher quality education conditional on borrowing.
学生贷款为各种背景的学生增加了受教育的机会。他们也被批评造成了经济和心理上的困难。我们使用来自全国大学毕业生限制使用调查的数据,对学生贷款和毕业后劳动力市场结果之间的关系进行了深入的调查。有贷款的毕业生的收入总体上低于没有贷款的毕业生。分解估计表明,大部分收入差异是由于与大学选择和表现有关的因素以及不可观察的因素造成的。学生借款人可以从更多关于以借款为条件的高质量教育净回报的信息中受益。

What Actually Causes Mortgage Defaults, Redefaults, and Modifications 到底是什么导致了抵押贷款违约、再违约和修改
Pub Date : 2012-02-02 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.1997890
Kyle F. Herkenhoff
I use new household level data to simultaneously test three competing hypothesis about the primary cause of mortgage default. I consider the potential interactions of individual unemployment spells, negative equity, and unsecured debt. Unlike past studies that were only able to control for regional unemployment rates, I find that the double trigger event of job loss and negative equity is crucial in determining default as has been widely hypothesized in the literature. In every specification considered, the interaction term between unemployment and negative equity is significant indicating that double trigger events are the culprit in generating persistent defaults as hypothesized by Foote, Gerardi, and Willen (2009). I find that a person who has negative equity and who is unemployed is 10% more likely to default than a person who has just negative equity. The negative equity alone only makes a person 1.45% more likely to default, a factor of 6 smaller than the interaction probability. Unsecured debt plays a tertiary role compared to negative equity and unemployment, and past modifications make someone 20% more likely to have defaulted at the survey date. Redefaults, which are defaults after modification, are also well predicted by an interaction between unemployment and negative equity, and modifications are best predicted by past negative equity which makes someone 8% more likely to receive a modification.
我使用新的家庭层面的数据来同时检验关于抵押贷款违约的主要原因的三个相互竞争的假设。我考虑了个人失业咒语、负资产和无担保债务之间的潜在相互作用。与过去只能控制地区失业率的研究不同,我发现,正如文献中广泛假设的那样,失业和负资产的双重触发事件在决定违约方面至关重要。在所考虑的每一种规范中,失业和负资产之间的相互作用项都是显著的,这表明双重触发事件是产生持续违约的罪魁祸首,正如Foote、Gerardi和Willen(2009)所假设的那样。我发现一个拥有负资产并且失业的人违约的可能性比只有负资产的人高10%负资产本身只会使一个人违约的可能性增加1.45%,比互动概率小6倍。与负资产和失业相比,无担保债务扮演着第三大角色,过去的修改使人们在调查日期违约的可能性增加了20%。重新违约,即修改后的违约,也可以通过失业和负资产之间的相互作用很好地预测,而修改最好是通过过去的负资产来预测,这使得某人接受修改的可能性增加8%。

Development and Validation of the Brand Superiority Scale 品牌优势量表的编制与验证
Pub Date : 2012-01-27 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.1992899
Ilias Kapareliotis
The branding literature usually considers the brand as an independent variable comprised of a central construct with a variety of elements attached to it. This paper argues that more emphasis needs to be placed on the consumer perspective. However, research on the use of brands in the consumer decision making process is scant. The core objective of this study is to develop and test a multi item scale, the Brand Superiority Scale (BSP), which uses consumer’s use of brand names as guidance tools. The test results indicate that BSP has adequate internal reliability and a sound construct validity. Application of the scale in further consumer preference studies is reccommended.
品牌文献通常认为品牌是一个自变量,由一个中心结构和各种附加元素组成。本文认为,需要更多地强调消费者的观点。然而,关于在消费者决策过程中使用品牌的研究很少。本研究的核心目的是开发和测试一个多条目量表,即品牌优势量表(BSP),该量表以消费者对品牌名称的使用为指导工具。测试结果表明,BSP具有足够的内部信度和良好的构念效度。建议在进一步的消费者偏好研究中应用该量表。

Challenges in the Measuring of Comparative Corporate Governance: A Review of the Main Indices 比较公司治理衡量的挑战:主要指标综述
Pub Date : 2012-01-27 DOI: 10.1108/S1479-8387(2012)0000008014
Ruth V. Aguilera, Kurt A. Desender
This paper discusses the role that indices of corporate governance have had in comparative corporate governance research. To do so, we begin with a short discussion of what corporate governance is and its main debates. Then, we review the main indices (which are also summarized in Table 1) highlighting their strengths and limitations as well as describing some of the findings that emanate from them. In section 3, we discuss the methodological and conceptual assumptions of corporate governance indices which may compromise their construct validity. We conclude in section 4 with some encouraging suggestions for key methodological and research design issues to take into account in future comparative corporate governance.
本文论述了公司治理指标在比较公司治理研究中的作用。为此,我们首先简要讨论一下什么是公司治理及其主要争论。然后,我们回顾了主要指标(也在表1中进行了总结),突出了它们的优势和局限性,并描述了从中产生的一些发现。在第3节中,我们讨论了公司治理指数的方法和概念假设,这些假设可能会损害其结构有效性。我们在第4节中总结了一些令人鼓舞的建议,这些建议适用于未来比较公司治理中需要考虑的关键方法和研究设计问题。

The Capitalization of Intangibles and Managerial Information 无形资产资本化与管理信息
Pub Date : 2012-01-15 DOI: 10.2139/SSRN.1985664
Mindy Wolfe
In this study, I investigate whether managers’ capitalization of intangible expenditures conveys incremental information, about the amount and timing of future cash flows, to expensed intangible expenditures. I find the association between capitalized SD (Software Development) expenditures and future cash flows is stronger than the association between reported RD indicating managers may use the capitalization decision to convey private information when incentives to do so are higher. However, I find the association is lower for firms whose capitalized SD expenditures allows them to meet or beat analysts’ forecasts, consistent with managers using the capitalization decision opportunistically. These findings suggest that on average managers who capitalize SD expenditures use their private information to convey the future cash flow implications of SD expenditures; but that in some situations they may also use the capitalization decision opportunistically.
在这项研究中,我调查了管理者对无形支出的资本化是否传达了关于未来现金流量的数量和时间的增量信息,以支付无形支出。我发现资本化的SD(软件开发)支出和未来现金流之间的关联比报告的RD之间的关联更强,这表明当激励更高时,管理人员可能会使用资本化决策来传达私人信息。然而,我发现,对于资本化的SD支出允许他们达到或超过分析师预测的公司,这种关联较低,这与经理们投机地使用资本化决策是一致的。这些发现表明,平均而言,将可持续发展支出资本化的管理者使用他们的私人信息来传达可持续发展支出对未来现金流量的影响;但在某些情况下,他们也可能会投机地使用大写决定。

Exports and Olympic Games: Is there a Signal Effect? 出口与奥运会:是否存在信号效应?
Pub Date : 2012-01-01 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.1935345
W. Maennig, F. Richter
Rose & Spiegel (2011) find that Olympic Games host countries experience significant positive, lasting effects on exports. They interpret their results as an indication that countries use the hosting of such events to signal openness and competitiveness. We challenge these empirical findings on the grounds that a comparison of structurally different and non-matching groups of countries might suffer from a selection bias. We demonstrate that with an appropriate matching and treatment methodology, the significant Olympic effect disappears.

Violence in and Around Entertainment Districts: A Longitudinal Analysis of the Impact of Late‐Night Lockout Legislation 娱乐区及其周围的暴力:深夜关闭立法影响的纵向分析

Violence in entertainment districts is a major problem across urban landscapes throughout the world. Research shows that licensed premises are the third most common location for homicides and serious assaults, accounting for one in ten fatal and nonfatal assaults. One class of interventions that aims to reduce violence in entertainment districts involves the use of civil remedies: a group of strategies that use civil or regulatory measures as legal “levers” to reduce problem behavior. One specific civil remedy used to reduce problematic behavior in entertainment districts involves manipulation of licensed premise trading hours. This article uses generalized linear models to analyze the impact of lockout legislation on recorded violent offences in two entertainment districts in the Australian state of Queensland. Our research shows that 3 a.m. lockout legislation led to a direct and significant reduction in the number of violent incidents inside licensed premises. Indeed, the lockouts cut the level of violent crime inside licensed premises by half. Despite these impressive results for the control of violence inside licensed premises, we found no evidence that the lockout had any impact on violence on streets and footpaths outside licensed premises that were the site for more than 80 percent of entertainment district violence. Overall, however, our analysis suggests that lockouts are an important mechanism that helps to control the level of violence inside licensed premises but that finely grained contextual responses to alcohol-related problems are needed rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.
娱乐区的暴力是世界各地城市景观的一个主要问题。研究表明,有执照的场所是凶杀和严重袭击的第三大常见地点,占致命和非致命袭击的十分之一。一类旨在减少娱乐区暴力的干预措施涉及使用民事补救措施:一组使用民事或监管措施作为法律“杠杆”来减少问题行为的策略。用于减少娱乐区问题行为的一种具体民事补救措施涉及操纵持牌场所的营业时间。本文采用广义线性模型分析了澳大利亚昆士兰州两个娱乐区的锁门立法对记录的暴力犯罪的影响。我们的研究表明,凌晨3点的关门立法直接显著减少了在有执照的场所内发生的暴力事件的数量。事实上,禁酒令使有执照的场所内的暴力犯罪率下降了一半。尽管在控制持牌场所内的暴力行为方面取得了这些令人印象深刻的成果,但我们发现没有证据表明,封锁对持牌场所外的街道和人行道上的暴力行为有任何影响,而这些地方是娱乐区80%以上暴力事件的发生地。然而,总的来说,我们的分析表明,禁酒是一种重要的机制,有助于控制有执照的场所内的暴力程度,但对酒精相关问题需要细致入微的情境反应,而不是一刀切的解决方案。

Overall, however, our analysis suggests that lockouts are an important mechanism that helps to control the level of violence inside licensed premises but that finely grained contextual responses to alcohol-related problems are needed rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.","PeriodicalId":306816,"journal":{"name":"Econometrics: Applied Econometric Modeling in Microeconomics eJournal","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117878174","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we use Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to estimate how well China’s urban areas absorb migrant workers under the interaction of urbanization and industrialization. We applied an output-oriented BCC model to evaluate provincial and regional rural labor absorption efficiency in mainland China. It appears that 4 out of 31 provinces and municipals are efficient, and 2 out of 8 economic regions are efficient in absorbing migrant workers. In the southern and eastern parts of China, urban labor absorption efficiency is higher compared with the western and northern parts of China. Different urbanization patterns and industrial development strategies should be adopted in different economic areas to enhance labor absorption ability in these areas. Urban areas in many parts of China still have potential to accommodate rural migrant workers. The inter-regional flow of production factors would affect urban labor absorption efficiency.
本文采用数据包络分析(DEA)对城市化和工业化相互作用下中国城镇吸纳农民工的效果进行了评估。本文运用产出导向的BCC模型对中国大陆省区农村劳动力吸收效率进行了评估。31个省市中有4个省市吸收农民工效率高,8个经济区中有2个省市吸收农民工效率高。中国南部和东部地区的城市劳动力吸收效率高于西部和北部地区。不同经济区域应采取不同的城市化模式和产业发展战略,以提高不同经济区域的劳动力吸收能力。中国许多地区的城市地区仍有容纳农民工的潜力。生产要素的区域间流动会影响城市劳动力吸收效率。
