This study extends a pilot study from (Gatlin-Watts, Carson, and Maxwell, 2007) which examined the ethical perceptions of collegiate students from a university in the Southwest United States. Ethical perceptions were measured on ten ethical scenarios, which were grouped into two dimensions: Regulatory and Informational related ethics. The study explores the effect of demographic variables, i.e., age, gender, nationality, and language, on perceptions of ten individual ethical scenarios and two aggregated ethical perceptions among college students. Based on a sample of 922 respondents, age and gender significantly correlated with some of the ethical perception scenarios. Similarly, nationality and language showed a significant relationship with ethical perceptions. Limitations of this study include the limited sample size of international students and the relatively homogeneous sample comprised of mainly business students. Further studies are recommended.
本研究扩展了一项试点研究(Gatlin-Watts, Carson, and Maxwell, 2007),该研究调查了美国西南部一所大学的大学生的道德观念。伦理观念是在十个伦理情景中进行测量的,这些情景分为两个维度:监管伦理和信息相关伦理。本研究探讨了年龄、性别、国籍和语言等人口统计变量对大学生十种个体伦理情境和两种总体伦理感知的影响。基于922名受访者的样本,年龄和性别与一些道德感知情景显著相关。同样,国籍和语言也显示出与伦理观念的显著关系。本研究的局限性包括国际学生的样本量有限,以及主要由商科学生组成的样本相对同质。建议进一步研究。

This paper demonstrates that spousal earnings affect an individual’s decision to retire. I find that husbands with higher-earning spouses are more likely to retire following an involuntary job loss. Earlier studies show that job reduces subsequent employment, earnings, and wealth, but they do not explain why some workers return to work and others do not. I add an important dimension to these studies by considering how spousal earnings and household assets affect a worker’s post-displacement labor supply. To explore the household's problem, I develop a stylized two-period model to illustrate how labor supply responds to spousal earnings and household assets in an uncertain environment. Using data from the Health and Retirement Study, I test my theoretical model's predictions using a reduced-form empirical specification. Relative to displaced men with low-earning spouses, husbands with higher-earning wives are more likely to exit the labor force following displacement. The same effect is not detectable in the population of older women. In both populations, a displaced worker with higher household assets is less likely to return to the labor force. At the household level, job loss as a profound impact on retirement well-being. At a broader level, a reduction in the labor supply of older workers has negative fiscal consequences.

The National Basketball Association (NBA) has the highest average player salary of any professional sports league that exists. In previous studies, it has been found that on-court performance statistics, such as points per game and rebounds per game, are key determinants of NBA players’ salaries. This study contributes to the literature by examining the effects of other on-court performance statistics such as real plus minus, field goal percentage, and free throw percentage. In addition, we test the relationship between NBA players’ social media following and their salaries. The multivariate analyses in our study show that points per game, real plus minus, and social media following are the most essential three factors determining NBA players’ salaries. The implications for NBA research and practice are discussed.
