N2  - The proceedings of the colloquium on 'science, ethics and food' are presented. 5 papers look at the right to food, increasing food production in Africa, food entitlements, a redistribution of food and agricultural science (J.W. Mellor), and a common agricultural future. In order to develop long term remedies for the human dilemmas associated with the world's food supply, it is concluded that issues must be addressed from a wide range of disciplines to overcome the technically complex problems, and failures of communication that still exist in improving global production and food distribution.

N2  - The aims of this study were to determine airborne (respirable) crystalline silica dust exposure levels among U.S. workers; to provide an update of the 1990 Stewart and Rice report on airborne silica exposure levels in high-risk industries and occupations with data for the time period 1988-2003; to estimate the number of workers potentially exposed to silica in industries that the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) inspected for high exposure levels; and to conduct time trend analyses of airborne silica dust exposure levels for time-weighted average (TWA) measurements. Compliance inspection data that were taken from the OSHA Integrated Management Information System (IMIS) for 1988-2003 (n=7209) were used to measure the airborne crystalline silica dust exposure levels among U.S. workers. A second-order autoregressive model was applied to assess the change in the mean silica exposure measurements over time. The overall geometric mean of silica exposure levels for 8-h personal TWA samples collected during programmed inspections was 0.077 mg/m3, well above the applicable American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists threshold limit value of 0.05 mg/m3. Surgical appliances supplies industry (Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) 3842) had the lowest geometric mean silica exposure level of 0.017 mg/m3, compared with the highest level, 0.166 mg/m3, for the metal valves and pipe fitting industry (SIC 3494), for an 8-hr TWA measurement. Although a downward trend in the airborne silica exposure levels was observed during 1988-2003, the results showed that 3.6% of the sampled workers were exposed above the OSHA-calculated permissible exposure limit.

N2  - Child labor is a global issue that exists in both industrialized and developing countries. With the unanimous adoption of International Labour Organization (ILO) Convention No. 182 in 1999 calling for the immediate elimination of the worst forms of child labor, ratifying member countries have committed themselves to identifying hazardous work for children in the context of their respective legislative frameworks. Part of tackling the problem of child labor is knowing what types of occupational activities children are engaged in, what types of work environments they are under, and what risks of injuries and illnesses they are exposed to while working. Using the Philippines as a country example, this study introduces a promising data source on children's work and presents a methodology for examining hazardous work to children through the examination of injury rates. Data for this study rely primarily on a nationally representative dataset from the Survey of Children 2001 carried out by the Philippine National Statistics Office, covering the months of October 2001 to September 2002.

N2  - Time spent eating and exercising can impact quality of life measures such as general health and risk for obesity. This article links data from the American Time Use Study and the Eating and Health Module to explore exercise and eating patterns for varying age groups, over different times of day, and by self-reported health status. Younger Americans who did some exercise were more likely to engage in higher impact sports. Older Americans who exercised were more likely to do so in the morning. Americans who reported being in excellent health spent more time exercising than other self-reported health groups, regardless of their sex or age.

N2  - Objectives: Global consensus is lacking, especially among developing countries, on whether agricultural work is detrimental to children's health and safety. We aimed to measure the degree to which Philippine children working in agriculture have a higher risk of injury compared with children working in other industries, and to uncover potential risk factors for their non-fatal injuries. Methods: Using the Philippine Survey of Children (SOC) 2001, we calculated injury incidence rates and relative risk measures across industries, and employed a multivariate logistic regression on the sample of working children in agriculture to ascertain the association of various exposures with the occurrence of work-related injuries. Results: Children working in agriculture had a fivefold risk of non-fatal injury compared to children working in other industries. Logistic regression indicated that the most robust risk factor for the occurrence of non-fatal injury was the use of tools (OR=3.12). Conclusions: The results of this study demonstrate agriculture to be a hazardous industry for children. Further research should focus on identifying the most dangerous tools and restricting their use.

N2  - During 2003-2010, the U.S. oil and gas extraction industry (onshore and offshore, combined) had a collective fatality rate seven times higher than for all U.S. workers (27.1 versus 3.8 deaths per 100 000 workers). The 11 lives lost in the 2010 Deepwater Horizon explosion provide a reminder of the hazards involved in offshore drilling. To identify risk factors to offshore oil and gas extraction workers, CDC analysed data from the Bureau of Labour Statistics (BLS) Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI), a comprehensive database of fatal work injuries, for the period 2003-2010. This report describes the results of that analysis, which found that 128 fatalities in activities related to offshore oil and gas operations occurred during this period. Transportation events were the leading cause (65 (51%)); the majority of these involved aircraft (49 (75%)). Nearly one fourth (31 (24%)) of the fatalities occurred among workers whose occupations were classified as "transportation and material moving." To reduce fatalities in offshore oil and gas operations, employers should ensure that the most stringent applicable transportation safety guidelines are followed.

AB  - It is evident from all clues obtainable that in the open world there has never existed a social government. Efforts have been made to prove that mankind at various intervals and at various points, once enjoyed conditions of life based so radically upon democratic laws as to resemble those now advocated; but such examples do not bear the test of rigid investigation. Although there have existed republics and paternal governments they have been so tinged with patrician leadership on the one hand and patriarchal dictatorship on the other, as to render it impossible to compare them with the socialism now advocated, where the lowly ascend and the lordly descend, to unite on a common level. The deep aim of these great struggles of our age known as the labor movement is to acquire and to enjoy complete and lasting co-operation. This co-operation, or brotherhood of life economies is expected to be not only political but economical, changing both the government and the methods of creating and dispensing the means of life, from the competitive into the purely democratic or co-operative. A practical adoption of this mutualism by any tribe or branch of the human family has probably never yet occurred and never has such a state of things existed except among those secretly organized, of whom we propose to treat.

AB  - The enormous growth of slavery just before the beginning of the Christian era was the cause of several of the most gigantic and bloody uprisings the world has ever known. Those convulsive episodes invariably arose from maltreatment of workingmen and women. Dr. Bücher, whose delineations we so often quote, shows that the necessary workmen for supplying slave material to man the great estates which the Roman lords, about this time were grasping from the original cultivators who fanned' the government land on shares thus turning them out of house and home, were bought and sold as common goods at ridiculously low prices.

AB  - An enormous and memorable uprising or strike, both of slaves and wage workers of antiquity, occurred in Sicily, beginning 29 years after the close of the war of Eunus, which ended B.C. 133, bringing the date at B.C. 104. As in the account we have given of the first servile war of Eunus, Achseus and Cleon we have followed the admirable chronology and other points of Dr. Karl Bucher, so in this second war, we follow the splendid elaboration of Prof. Otto Siefert.

AB  - As physical science informs as of convulsions in nature called by geologists, the Permian age which brought the palæozoic era to an end and left, after its prodigious upheavals, the calm in which we live, so historical fragments and palœgraphs inform us of great social cataclysms immediately preceding the immense calm that began to envelop human society during the reign of Augustus, rooted into it by the visit and labors of Jesus. The desperate social upheaval here referred to--the last in the line--was that of the gladiators under Spartacus, B.C. 74-70. In introducing this mighty conflict of Spartacus--the greatest and last of all the ancient struggles coming into our categories of the 'irascible' against the 'concupiscent,' and undertaken by labor, in its plan of salvation from the horrors of slavery and suffering--we find it necessary to sketch an outline of the condition which matters were in during the century preceding the advent of Jesus, who was the next reformer in chronological order.

AB  - We have spoken of certain organizations among the working people of ancient times. That these existed is no longer denied. In Rome they were mostly freedmen. But what inspired their combination into secret orders does not appear plain to those who study the past for the sake of gratifying a taste for great events. Neither do those who study it for purposes of gleaning points in philosophy and religion as commonly understood, obtain any correct idea of them. The ancient contempt rooted in the taint of labor which slavery inspired is yet too strong; and there still lingers too much of the old spirit of paganism to allow of interest, or hardly of curiosity. This must answer the astonished strident of sociology who asks why so much ignorance on the subject of those ancient societies. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)

AB  - The typical color of the great non-laboring classes in ancient times was white and azure blue; while that of the strictly laboring element was red. This phenomenon has come down to us by the power of habit, from high antiquity. Multitudes of instances are on record proving that the Roman generals cunningly managed to toss the vexillum or red banner, in some surreptitious manner, over into the enemy's camp at a moment of onset, thereby enthusing the soldiers with a reckless oblivion of danger, as they crushed into it in desperate haste and determination to seize from the polluted fingers of the barbarian their endeared and cherished flag. The curiosity of the reader may by this time be aroused to understand what may have been the cause of this strange affection. We shall attempt to bring out, so far as authentic evidence can be had, the facts lying at the bottom of the ineffaceable love in the strictly proletarian class, for the beautiful and incomputably aged red banner; and in doing so, we may help the inquirer in the effort to discern the causes of this emblem having so successfully breasted the storms of adversity and time and come down to us embalmed in the same love and veneration that shrouded and shielded it in deep antiquity, when it knew and comforted men only as poor and lowly slaves.

AB  - This volume is one of the first histories yet compiled and written exclusively from a standpoint of social science. That the 'still small voice' meant the ever suppressed yet ever living, struggling, co-operating and mutually supporting majorities, is made self-suggestive without forsaking history. The phenomenal fact is moreover brought out, that the present movement whose most radical wing loudly disclaims Christianity, is nevertheless building exactly upon the precepts of that faith, as it was told to us and taught us by Jesus Christ; whatever may or may not have been borrowed by His school from the immense social organization of His own and preceding ages. Modern greed with its class hatreds, individualisms, aristocracy, its struggle for personal wealth, dangerous, defiant in our faith and in our political economy, is not Christianity at all; it is the ancient evil still lingering in the roots of the gradually decaying paganism that appears to remain for the labor movement to smother and at last uproot and completely annihilate. One thing must be solemnly set forth as a very suggestive hint to modern anarchists, however honest their impulses. The historical facts are that the great strikes, rebellions and social wars--if we are permitted to except those of Drimakos and the strike of the 20,000 from the the silver mines of Laurium in Attica--all turned out disastrously for the general cause. The punishments meted out to the strikers and insurgents of the working class after their overthrow by the Romans, as in the rebellions of Eunus, of Athenion, of Spartacus, of every one we have treated in this book, with but the above exceptions, was bloody, revengeful and exterminatory to the last degree. An ancient author whom we quote, gives the aggregate number crucified at something more than a million. Crassus and Pompey alone crucified over 6,000 workingmen on the Appian Way as examples of the awful blood-wreaking to be expected from Roman military justice. Twenty thousand were similarly massacred at Enna and Tauromanion. These unscrupulous deeds of retribution that went far toward annihilating the ancient civilization by stimulating a blood-thirsting craze in a long succession of Roman emperors, completely extinguished all hopes of the workingmen for the achievement of liberty by violent means.

AB  - The article discusses the workmen's compensation act of 1898 in France. An overview of the enactment of workmen compensation act in Germany, England, Norway and Austria is presented. Germany was the pioneer in the enactment of any first such laws. Efforts have been made since 1880 for the enactment of the present law for the compulsory compensation of injured workingmen in France. Around fifteen legislative bills related to the issue were proposed in French Parliament since 1880. Under the law, employers were made responsible for any accidents in industry and employees were entitled for compensation. A comparison of the French law with German and Austrian law is also presented.

AB  - The article discusses the efforts being done to provide the special needs of children in the United States. Community, health and social services and schools equipped to give the great variety of training and creative experiences necessary for maximum child development are of fundamental importance in order to give the children means for physical, intellectual and emotional growth and development. It is the mission of the school and the teacher not only to give the child an academic education but to train him to fit into society. Economic security is the first and most important measure of child welfare because it is fundamental to normal and wholesome home-life. In terms of family life, this means development of greater economic opportunity and protection against the hazards of incapacity, unemployment and widowhood so that children need not be subjected to conditions of poverty.

AB  - The article states that the United States Children's Bureau and the School of Social Service Administration of the University of Chicago, Illinois have been cooperating with local agencies for the past several years in an experimental juvenile-probation project conducted in an area approximately a mile square, southeast of the stockyards in Chicago. Using psychiatric, medical, case-work, and community-organization services, the project began by accepting for study and treatment children referred to it as delinquent, in danger of becoming delinquent, or as problems by the juvenile court, schools, police, and parents. In trying to deal with the situation the project worked in two ways--first, continuing casework with individual children; and, second, developing or stimulating the community to develop more adequate resources not only for problem children but also for the community as a whole and to improve the working relations among existing agencies. The article deals with several aspects of the second phase of the project.

AB  - The article discusses studies pertaining to the distribution of family income in U.S. urban communities in the 1930's. A division of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics conducted a study in 1934-1935 among urban families in several states. Preliminary results revealed a relationship between the size of a community and income levels. Rent was found to be the most significant expenditure of family income, particularly in larger communities. Lower-income families in Chicago, Illinois had just two-thirds of their annual incomes for consumer purchases other than rent.

AB  - The article discusses American demographics. The decrease in the size of the American family is not of recent origin, but dates back more than a century in the history of America. In 1790, when the first census was taken, the average American family consisted of 5.7 members. In 1850, it averaged 5.6 members. By 1900, the average family had decreased to 4.7 persons, and by 1930 to 4.1 members. Even more striking than the reduction in average size is the change in the proportions of the extremely large and very small families. There were proportionately five times as many families with ten or more members in 1790 as in 1930. At the time of the first census, almost one in every ten families consisted of ten or more members, while in 1937, less than one in fifty is this large. The small family of one or two members is almost three times as prevalent today, proportionately, as it was in 1790. At that time, 11.5 percent of all families consisted of one or two persons, while in 1930, 31.3 percent were this small.

AB  - The article focuses on the interest of the League of Nations in motion pictures related to child welfare. The Child Welfare Committee of the Advisory Commission for the Protection and Welfare of Children and Young People, now the Advisory Committee on Social Questions, of the League of Nations recommends to include the subject of motion pictures on its agenda. In conformity with this recommendation, the Committee has studied the subject of motion pictures as a source of recreation for young people, and has cooperated, through a liaison member, with the International Educational Cinematograph Institute in Rome. The information gathered by the Committee has been obtained largely through questionnaire inquiries to all members of the Advisory Committee and to nonmember states. A summary of the replies received from the various governments was presented at the meeting of the Committee in April 1937. The member of the Advisory Committee on Social Questions from the United States, the Chief of the Children's Bureau, has furnished material to the League on State laws and municipal ordinances relating to censorship and the age of admission of children to motion-picture theaters.

The concept of the program was borrowed from Europe where it places youths in work camps under healthful conditions and salutary discipline. It discusses the specific causes of the program's ineffectiveness in its aim to provide supplementary education and employment for young adults. It also offers some suggestions to be implemented in the program for it to satisfy effectively its aims and objectives.

AB  - Military and business conditions both before and after the 1918 Armistice exerted an important influence on the termination of contracts and on the disposal of surpluses. Before the war ended, the military procurement program contemplated greatly increased American participation in hostilities abroad. Through the fall of 1918, plans called for a decisive campaign, with a five-million-man army and a greatly expanded A.E.F. Business leaders reported that the Armistice caught the U.S. industrially unprepared for peace. Both Congress President had been urged to prepare for the transition, but waging the war and negotiating the peace diverted their attention from domestic problems. As a result, demobilization of men and of industry proceeded without any integrated master plan. For both contracts and surpluses, the six-month period of post-Armistice industrial hesitation was important. Four factors predominated: first, impending cancellation of contracts totaling billions of dollars; second, huge surpluses threatening the market; third, prospects of unemployment as 9 million war workers and 4 million service men sought new work; fourth, and probably most important, anticipation of downward adjustment of the prevailing high prices.

AB  - The article focuses on the degree and character of the wartime expansion of the national labor force in the U.S. As a clue to manpower problems, the wartime administrators in 1917-1918 did not have available, for whatever use they might have made of it, any comprehensive current employment or labor force data. No urgent demand had existed for such information prior to the war and no comprehensive series was initiated during the war. While interest was shown in the twenties for current manufacturing employment data as a general measure of welfare and of fluctuations in economic activity, it was the crisis of the thirties, which led to the preparation of monthly employment data largely perhaps as some kind of indirect measure of unemployment. The relatively new Monthly Report on the Labor Force provides a broad framework, into which can be fitted the more detailed employment data by industrial components. Whatever the limitations of such total labor force, employment and unemployment data, it does provide a current measure of the level of the labor force and broad components within it as well as some further refinements by age and sex. For nonagricultural industries, the more familiar employment estimates provide detailed data for administrative use.

AB  - This article discusses the views on maintaining security for children in the world today in context of psychology of pre-adolescent children in war time. The article is unable to repress the anxiety that security, with all the word implies for psychiatrists, may soon become nonexistent for millions of children. The article exclusively concerned with the presence or absence of anxiety in children as related to their knowledge of war. The article explores the needed attention upon pre-adolescent children who are less dependent upon the family for care and companionship, let's see what is happening in the school, where so much of the child's interest is ordinarily centered. School systems report that teachers are leaving the profession to go into employment offering higher salaries. The article further discusses the goals which are to be achieved eventually through continued improvement from generation to generation in the care and education of all children.

AB  - The article proposes that underwriting of aggregate consumer spending is the base for a full-employment policy in the U.S. In a modern high-income economy operating at capacity or near-capacity levels, voluntary saving tends to exceed the available private investment outlets, so that resources threaten to go unused altogether. Public investment applied as a compensatory technique does not squarely meet the over-saving problem. It palliates the difficulty by absorbing the excess savings. But it fails to assure a level of consumption adequate to maintain full employment with public investment limited to items regarded by the general public as worth while for their own sake. A public investment program used as the main weapon against unemployment and expanded to whatever extent might be necessary to prevent unemployment, would probably seriously discourage private enterprise. The multiplier principle indicates that an increment of aggregate investment will produce a more than equivalent increase in national income, since it will also raise consumption. If there is a deficiency of private investment, relative to the tendency to save at full employment levels of income, the gap must be closed by expanding aggregate investment. The other alternative would be an increase in consumption, which would invoke a reduction of aggregate real savings.

AB  - The article presents an attempt to develop a method of forecasting gross national product under peacetime conditions. The author presents an examination of the statistical relationships between outlays for construction and for producers' durables on the one hand and gross national product on the other, to determine whether forecasting by means of investment factors is feasible. The primary conclusion reached from an analysis of how private investment and gross national product producers' durables outlays varied continuously and concurrently with were related was that, by and large, construction and gross product. The extensive lead of residential construction on gross national product arises in no small measure from the relationship between residential construction activity and the current level of profits. The higher the levels of employment and expenditure in the capital goods industries, the higher gross national product will tend to be. The primary analytic conclusion indicates a critical role for profits in the determination of gross product. The primary gross national product values for the period between wars can be closely approximated by the use of a weighted and led series on profits in conjunction with a weighted concurrent series for federal expenditures.

According to the author, the most progress in defining the quality of goods at the time of publication, exists in regards to food, including canned foods, and meats especially. Also discussed is the need for developing methods of obtaining prices of goods of a constant quality. The author believes that the difficulties in obtaining enough price data to compile consumer price indexes, stem from the rapid rate at which technology changes production techniques.

AB  - The principal emphasis here is, first, upon the national income and what its probable future level, in dollar terms, implies for those unhappy people whose task it will be to manage a debt of almost uncomprehended size in a period when taxation will not be popular, however sure it may be. Second, the paper refers briefly to the distribution of national income and some of its consequences for the handling of the debt. With respect to debt management itself, it defers to the fiscal and monetary experts. The facts of the federal public debt in relation to national income are in themselves fairly simple. The total debt of the federal government in October 1946 was 26334 billion dollars, all but 1 billion of which was interest bearing. This includes all those bonds, notes, certificates of indebtedness, and special issues commonly classified as "public debt" by the Treasury Department, but not guaranteed securities. It embraces all indebtedness in that category which the Congress has, by statute, limited to a total of 275 billions.

AB  - The real importance of higher productivity levels is, of course, obvious—with reasonably full utilization of the labor force and with hours of work fixed at socially acceptable levels, it affords the only means by which average standards of living may be raised, and the only method whereby any one group can secure additional material benefits except at the expense of others. Many of the factors contributing to higher productivity levels have been extensively discussed and are well understood. With respect to the technical side of the economy, the benefits of fundamental as well as applied research are probably appreciated to a greater degree today than ever before. It is known that new techniques of manufacture and new products require new equipment. It is generally agreed that the earnings of industry must be sufficient to attract the capital necessary for such new equipment. Furthermore, the competitive system places a real premium on technical developments which permit a manufacturer to lower costs or increase quality.

AB  - Great Britain is at the present time engaged in the momentous experiment of reconciling broad economic planning for the country as a whole with the greatest possible amount of freedom for its individual components. The difficulties are apparent and can be readily studied in the field of collective bargaining. How much freedom for individuals or trade unions and employers' associations is compatible with maintaining the delicate balance of the over-all plan, especially in a period of full employment? In the postwar British economy there is not room for a great deal of flexibility for yielding to strains and stresses. Uneconomic bargains would divert needed manpower into nonessential occupations, siphon off scarce consumer goods from places where they are most needed as incentives to increase production, or raise costs of products intended for export. Yet even in their precarious economic situation the British have chosen to preserve voluntary institutions in the field of industrial relations. They have refrained from governmental planning of the wage structure, and have imposed compulsory arbitration of labor disputes only to a limited extent. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The article discusses the relationship between consumption by consumers and price indexes. The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics analyzes price indexes of wholesale and consumer's prices and collects periodic surveys of family expenditures in relation to income. During World War II, the cost of living and income rose proportionally, and consumers spent more on food and medical care as opposed to 1935-1936. The author says that while the information is useful to marketing personnel, the Bureau's appropriations limit the rate at which they can exploit the data.

AB  - The article discusses the advantages of the regular rate of pay definition in the U.S. The clarification of regular rate of pay problems provided for by the amended Section 7 of the Fair Labor Standards Act will have the effect of increased compliance with the act's overtime provisions as well as improved labor-management relations in the general application of the act. The former bald requirement that an employee's overtime compensation must be computed on the basis of at least time and one half his regular rate of pay, with the term regular rate not defined in the act, each year resulted in increased problems of interpretation, causing unwitting violations by well-meaning employers, and often strained employer-employee relationships. The four types of payments which are neither included in the regular rate nor creditable toward overtime compensation due under the act may be described generally as being payments of the kind which are unrelated to an employee's hours of work, or are payments not necessarily based on or measured by hours of work.

AB  - This article reports on an experiment conducted to observe interviewer's expectations as to the organized structure of the respondent's attitude. Interviewer effect in survey research has been the subject of a sizable body of research during the past two decades. But recently, particularly in social psychology, research and theory organized around the central concept of cognition or perception have regained a position of prominence as witnessed in current writings and organized activities. Methodological research specifically on interviewer effects would require the broadest kind of study of the way interviewer and respondent regard each other and the interview situation. Interviewer effects would ultimately be seen in terms of a well-rounded theory embodying both motivational and cognitive principles. Many of the interviewers believed that the attitudes of any respondent are bound together in some organized structure. On the basis of this belief they expect the respondent to answer the many questions asked in a consistent manner.

According to the author that the maintenance of a balanced employment security program is to continue all essential services, while at the same time shifting program emphasis to meet changing conditions. In relevance to this concept, the administrator is now prepared to expand employment security services. However, shift of emphasis must be made between the employment service and unemployment insurance programs as conditions change. Further, it must be made within the two programs in order to balanced employment security program.

It states that a sample of interviews was recorded in the employment offices of several companies and the method of analysis by Julius Seeman was used. It says that the time spent in the interviews were analyzed and each interview was examined by categorizing each exchange. It notes that the method of analysis allowed to compare interviews for various jobs and the methods employed by interviewers. It adds that it was possible to create categories for the interview analysis for purposes other than employment.

AB  - Many current statistical texts either omit expressions for the variance of sample estimates of the standard deviation and variance, or include results which are valid only for sampling from normal or infinite populations. In view of the extensive current use of sampling in the socio-economic field, where normal or infinite populations are not always conveniently available, this seems unfortunate. A convenient derivation and summary of references are presented. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)

AB  - This country, perhaps for many years ahead, is deeply committed to a program designed to achieve national security and to safeguard the peace. Already the dimensions of this program are subjecting our national economy to substantial strains as we seek to increase defense production and control inflation. Civilian demands for goods and services are competing with defense requirements for materials and man power. Under these circumstances, the government has been compelled to initiate various program actions to increase its revenues, curb inflationary trends, and assure required military production both in regard to quantity and dates of delivery. To these ends, taxes have been increased, credit restrictions introduced, and allocations and export controls of scarce materials undertaken. Current indications are that further actions will be required to attain defense program objectives. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The article discusses the utility of the cooperative program related to current monthly employment estimates together with data relating to hours of work and earnings of workers. The program offers a logical solution to the problem of providing adequate current nonagricultural employment information. There is the obvious fact that each cooperating administrative and employment agency has much to contribute to the cooperative program. The state employment security agencies have the regular labor contribution reports giving monthly covered employment information.

AB  - The article discusses the input-output analysis method utilized in marketing. The practice is a statistical data collection and analysis which is designed to provide insight on probable cost trends. It's largely used by industries which sell directly to consumers, investors, and government and foreign buyers. A prerequisite for the approach is the organized collection of quantitative information pertaining to purchases and sales among industrial or processing sectors of the economy. The input-output table represents a set of double-entry books for the economy, in which each sector is represented by debit and credit accounts. It also shows in compact form the transactions among the sectors during a stated time period.

AB  - A federal equal pay law applicable to employees in private interstate industry in the U.S. has not yet been enacted, but the movement for such legislation appears to grow stronger with each succeeding Congressional session. In the Seventy-ninth U.S. Congress, Senators Claude Pepper of Florida and Wayne Morse of Oregon introduced the bill after which equal pay bills introduced in each succeeding Congress were chiefly patterned. Briefly, this bill applied to employers engaged in commerce or in transactions or operations affecting commerce; it declared it an unfair wage practice for employers covered by the act firstly, to pay female employees a lower rate of wages than are or have been paid to males for comparable work; secondly, to replace female with male employees, except where the layoff or discharge was for good cause or on the basis of a seniority system, making no sex discriminations; and thirdly, to discriminate against employees for exercising rights or privileges under the act. In the Eighty-third Congress, a bill introduced by Representative Frances P. Bolton of Ohio, marked a departure from the traditional equal pay bill which had repeatedly made its appearance in prior Congresses. Although women have more to gain than do men from the passage of equal pay legislation, such a law would protect men as well as women from discriminatory rates.

AB  - The article attempts to evolve a constructive employee relations in government, by taking into account the practices in the private areas, which can provide a basis for focusing the numerous facts relating to the nature, extent and goals of the organization of federal employees, and on the nature and approaches to labor-management relations. The great growth of collective bargaining during the past 20 years has been aided by the federal labor policy which is based upon "encouraging the practice and procedure of collective bargaining." This statutory policy includes the requirement that employers bargain collectively when the majority of their employees indicate their support for a labor union, and it bans certain unfair practices on the part of employers and unions. But the entire collective bargaining process can be conducted without ever having recourse to government and the law. It is through such bargaining, generally between individual employers and trade unions that wages and working conditions are determined. The aversion to governmental interference in collective bargaining applies equally to interference in strikes.

AB  - Collective bargaining in the U.S. takes place in an economic setting that is constantly changing. Every so often it is appropriate to appraise the economic changes which are taking place and to assess their significance for the bargaining process. It is certainly time for a new appraisal of the significance of international economic developments, especially the nature and effects of changes in foreign trade. The U.S. has an "unfavorable" balance of payments with the rest of the world, there has been an outflow of gold and a large accumulation of foreign-held dollar balances and some American industries are, for the first time, facing stiff foreign competition, both abroad and at home. he international ties and contacts of American labor and American management during the postwar period have had a marked effect upon attitudes towards problems of foreign competition. There has been growing understanding of the benefits to living standards that are brought by international trade, and of some of the adjustments which are necessary in production, design, sales methods and jobs.

AB  - Wage or salary rates typically exhibit substantial dispersion for most occupations within local labor markets. Such variations have often been attributed mainly to wage differences between establishments, but a neglected and hitherto statistically inaccessible source of variation is the occupational rate differences within establishments in the same market area. This article extends substantially the author's earlier, and more tentative, effort to weigh the relative contributions of inter- and intra-establishment wage rate differences to over-all occupational wage dispersion. Ten occupations in manufacturing industry in thirteen widely distributed labor markets were analyzed with respect to the two sources of wage rate variability. The findings lead the author to suggest various lines of further investigation of the sources of wage dispersion among occupations and labor markets. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The article presents a discussion related to the market for economists in the U.S. The supply of economics graduates with bachelor's degrees is expected to be considerably greater than the demand for professional economists with minimal qualifications. Also, estimates of the number of advanced degrees to be awarded in economics during the sixties indicates that an adequate supply of fully qualified people will be trained during the decade. One can safely assume that virtually all the Ph.D. graduates in economics will enter the profession. But, as a recent nationwide follow-up study of 1958, college graduates demonstrates, only a fraction of the people with a master's degree in economics can be expected to enter the field. Thus, it appears that a deficit in the supply of qualified economists is probable during the sixties, unless there is a rise in the proportion of economics graduates with a master's degree entering the profession and more young people with bachelor's degrees elect to do their graduate work in this field. Otherwise, shortages may be anticipated in such fields as college teaching and research and among top economic advisers and consultants.

AB  - The relationship between labor and management is a crucial testing ground of freedom in today's technological society. Collective bargaining is a basic institution. Government efforts in the labor-management field have been directed toward encouraging the parties to bargain responsibly. One seeks to avoid on the one hand government-imposed settlements and on the other hand settlements, which may be injurious to the public or to one or the other party. Usually one rejects a policy of compulsory arbitration, just as one rejects a rigorous "hands-off" policy. Workers and management are committed to free decision-making by the parties and to their right to assert economic force, but they strive by every proper means to minimize conflict. Beyond that, the government must fulfill its historic obligation to promote and preserve the public interest. The commitment to free decision-making and efforts to keep the peace between labor and management are truly meaningful only in the context of this traditional role of government.

AB  - The article says that while discussing the role of the government in labor relations, it is important to keep in mind the extent of government intervention in other sectors of the economy, such as agriculture, the maritime industry or the field of air transportation. Since society taken, as a whole is not free in an absolute sense, neither can collective bargaining be unconditionally and absolutely free of government intervention. In appraising the extent of government intervention in the field of labor relations in the U.S., one must also keep in mind recent developments and changes in our industrial society. Mergers and absorptions of corporate enterprises have been increasing. Even the kinds of mergers and absorptions have been changing. Instead of the traditional merger of two enterprises in the same industry, there are now absorptions of companies in industries not entirely related to the parent enterprises. Moreover, a large factor, which has led to greater intervention at the federal level, is the vast expansion in the media of communication and in improved technology. Because of these influences, many problems can no longer be solved at the local community level, for the underlying causes and influences are often national, not local, in scope.

AB  - This article is intended as a brief smorgasbord-type roundup of research directions being taken in the United States on the manpower implications of technological change. The article focuses on the new legislation providing a mandate and support for expanded manpower research, particularly on the effects and needs generated by automation and other new technology. It analyzes several of the principal manpower trends being shaped by new technology. It also notes major new research programs and plans of the U.S. Department of Labor in this field. The statistical programs of the Labor Department reflect notable manpower developments in the economy which, while perhaps no longer strikingly new or dramatic for informed members of this association, are not yet adequately comprehended by the general public. The increasing role of new technology is requiring more scientific, engineering and technical skills for development, maintenance and repair. The influence of advances in technology is evident from data on output in the private economy, which is weighted heavily by goods-producing industries in which new technology has had its greatest impact thus far, as distinguished from the essentially-service government sector.

AB  - The article presents a research made by the Presidential Railroad Commission, which is the most extensive exploration ever made of the elaborate system of rules, practices and decisions that governs the manning of American railroads and the assignments and pay of the men who operate the nation's trains and engines. The issues before the commission resulted from a series of conflicting demands set forth in "notices" filed in 1939 and 1960 by the carriers and the unions under Section 6 of the Railway Labor Act. The 195 railroad companies before the commission operate 92 per cent of the rail mileage of the country and employ 94 per cent of the industry's employees. Some of the broad conclusions of the report were, that a gap had developed between technology in the industry and work and compensation rules, and that this gap had not been closed by bargaining as hitherto practiced; that the rules governing the manning of engines and trains and the assignment of employees should be revised to permit the elimination of unnecessary jobs and, at the same time, to safeguard the interests of the individual employees adversely affected; that the entire complex and intricate system of compensation should be overhauled.

AB  - The article discusses the problem of undereducated workers in the U.S. The demand for educated workers is growing every year. The supply of young educated workers is increasing rapidly. Both trends undermine the position of the undereducated worker. There are over 30 million educationally disadvantaged workers in the country. Most of the undereducated workers are white, are city dwellers, and work in industry as laborers or machine operators. Lack of education is most severe, proportionately, among African Americans who live in rural areas of the South and work the land. Both in number and proportion, the poorly educated are an older group. The seriousness of the problem is evident in high unemployment and low income, in the need for extensive welfare amidst a general prosperity. There is a need to develop human resources. Even though literacy training is on the increase, the corrective efforts that are now making are small compared to the size of the problem. Effectively, the high-school diploma has become a necessity in most lines of work.

AB  - The article discusses the problems posed by early retirement to employers and employees in the U.S., including the inadequate pensions received by early retirees. The heaviest coverage of private pension plans is in manufacturing, particularly in the metalworldng, chemicals, rubber and petroleum industries. Pension plans are found most frequently in public utilities and in finance, both of which have high proportions of professional and clerical workers. Industries which negotiate on the multiemployer pattern are believed to have multiemployer plans.

AB  - Recent legislation in the manpower area provides programs to increase employability of unemployed and underemployed workers through training. The U.S. Employment Service has important responsibilities with regard to counseling and selection of candidates for training. To help meet these responsibilities, a program of research is under way to develop aptitude measures for use with such candidates. There are several projects In this research program, including (1) determination of ability to take the tests in the USES General Aptitude Test Battery, (2) development of a non-reading edition of the CATB and (3) validation of tests against training and job success.

AB  - Since 1962 the salaries of U.S. federal employees have been based on comparisons with those of workers in private industry. The author explains the background to this scheme and the development of a national salary survey by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The subsequent revision of the salary structure and the principles of comparability are then discussed, and some comparisons are drawn between the British and the American approach to this problem.

AB  - The article discusses the abstracts of several papers on economics published in November 1965 issue of the journal "Economica." Some of the abstract which are presented in the journal: "Fair Comparison: The Case of the United States White-Collar Civil Service," by H.M. Douty; "Hospital Bed Scarcity: An Analysis of the Effects of Inter-Regional Differences," by Martin S. Feldstein; "Exclusive Dealing in Petrol: Some Comments," by Harry Townsend; "Economic Controversy in the British Reviews, 1802-1850," by Frank W. Fetter; and "Say's Law, Effective Demand, and the Contemporary British Periodicals, 1820-1850," by Barry J. Gordon. To examine the way supply differences influence the use of hospital beds, Feldstein estimated the elasticities of admission rates and mean durations of stay with respect to the number of bed available per capita in the second article. In the fourth article, the solus system of distributing petrol in Great Britain is examined in the light of the market structure of wholesaling and retailing: oligopolistic wholesale suppliers facing oligopolistic and monopolistic retailers, with entry into both wholesaling and retailing restricted, and with a near-homogeneous product, produced jointly with a mass of others, whose sales are to a large extent determined by factors beyond the influence of either wholesalers or retailers.

AB  - The article discusses the projections of supply and demand for manpower in the U.S. The following are the purposes of projecting manpower supply and demand: planning educational programs; evaluating the feasibility of launching programs which require skilled personnel; vocational guidance; and developing manpower programs and policies. The following are the general steps for projecting manpower demand: evaluation of the factors that influence the demand for the occupation; evaluation of how these factors operate; identification of economic variables that measure or serve as a proxy for each factor and that are capable of being projected independently; and project demand for the occupation on the basis of these relationships. Projections of the labor supply can be made by making separate estimates of the following: labor supply in a base year, major inflows into the supply and the major outflows.

AB  - The article discusses how technological change affects manpower forecasts in the U.S. Technological change indirectly affects the total output of an industry by providing new or improved products or services which stimulate the demand for a particular industry's product. On the other hand, technological change directly causes industrial productivity. Technological change also affects an industry's employment structure, job content and skill composition. The following are the basic steps of forecasting the impact of technology on manpower: identification of expected technological developments; determination of the timing of introduction and rate of diffusion of the technology; and evaluation of the probable manpower effects of the developments.

AB  - The article discusses the economic measure enacted in Germany as a means of promoting workers' self-protection against poverty caused by unemployment or other factors.  The Federal Republic of Germany enacted on May 5, 1965 the Second Law for the Promotion of Capital Accumulation by Employees, which amended the first law on this subject, dated July 12, 1961. The German Minister of Labor characterized the law as the beginning of a new era in the history of German policy. The Savings Bonus Law of May 6, 1959 entitles any owner of a savings account not subject to withdrawal for at least five years to a total bonus of 20 percent, that is, 4 percent per year, payable out of public funds, in addition to any interest, dividend or similar payment due him. The Housing Construction Bonus Act of August 25, 1960 applies similar rules to the investment of money in a manner promoting housing construction, such as accounts at building and loan associations into which sums are deposited periodically toward a building loan. The purpose of the capital accumulation law of July 12, 1961, as amended, is to promote saving and investment specifically by employees. Covering both private and government employees, it provides tax incentives for certain benefits paid to employees provided that the benefits are earmarked for use to build up the employees' personal capital.

AB  - This article presents the new role of the employment service in serving the disadvantaged. It may be necessary at the outset to establish a common basis of reference so that one may better grasp the nature of the human resources problems which confront the public employment service in its efforts to better meet the needs of the disadvantaged. An important element in the manpower revolution which are currently experiencing is the emergence of an active manpower policy. This is best evidenced in an outpouring of human resources and manpower legislation as has never before been experienced in this country in such a brief period of time. The implementation of manpower development and training programs and advancing better utilization of manpower falls heavily on the local employment office. It is the local employment office that is responsible for the determination of training requirements, occupations for which training will be undertaken, counseling, selection and referrals of candidates, cooperation with educational and training authorities, initiation of job development activities and ultimately the placement of trainees. The problems confronting the employment service were made more difficult not only by reason of assignments of increased manpower responsibilities, but even more because the nature of these responsibilities were undergoing most significant changes.

AB  - This study evaluate the East Los Angeles Youth Training and Employment Project service program undertaken by a nongovernment consultant to assist a second phase of a project in south central Los Angeles and to set up guidelines for the objective assessment of other projects. An evaluation team composed of a nongovernment consultant and an OMAT project officer interviewed individuals representative of the staff, the board, public and private agencies, the community, and the trainees, The team attended formal and informal meetings as well as counseling and training sessions. The team found the project effectively staffed, although the staff was burdened by long working hours, uncertainty regarding tenure, and lack of customary professional fringe benefits. High rental costs and the need to renovate the inadequate physical facilities were the major causes of financial problems. The necessity to hold classes in a school out of the project area led to transportation and communication difficulties. Group dynamics proved a valuable tool for in-service staff training, follow-up counseling for trainees, and training teachers and case aides. The team thought their evaluation had stimulated the staff to become self-corrective. Staff communications were speeded up. Interviews with local lay and community agency leaders had promoted an increased sense of involvement. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)

AB  - Economic growth, unemployment, and the balance of payments are serious economic problems in the United States while Western European countries have full employment and rapid growth without price stability. Although evaluation of unemployment in the United States is more thorough than in Western Europe, the United States still has a high unemployment rate for an industrialized country. In the period from 1957 to 1964 employment shifted from manufacturing to the service industries. Employment in agriculture decreased by 1. 2 million during this period, and decreased by smaller numbers in mining, manufacturing, transportation, and public utilities. Employment increased in government, wholesale and retail trade, services, and finance. Within the industry groups, office jobs increased at the expense of production and plant jobs. Recent productivity increases in the United States are modest and do not support the contention that automation will cause great unemployment. High wage rates stimulate mechanization and make its productivity level one of the highest in the world, so that further advances are hard to achieve. Unemployment in the United States results from increasing productivity and a simultaneous increase in the labor force. Some experts believe that if aggregate demand is increased enough, unemployment will decrease to a satisfactory level. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)

AB  - This article discusses the development and implementation of the policy that the use of foreign workers in seasonal agricultural activities should not be at the expense of U.S. citizens. This policy of preventing adverse effect has been a major factor in shaping the farm labor programs of the U.S. Department of Labor as of December 1966. Adverse effect evolved over a period of years from broad statements of general policy and action in individual cases to the establishment of specific criteria, both in terms of wages and other terms and conditions of employment, which employers seeking to use foreigners had met. For the period prior to 1965, it is difficult to measure the effects of this development. It is clear that some drop in foreign worker employment would probably have occurred without any implementation of the policy as farmers substituted machines and fertilizer and pesticides for labor. The effects of the policy are clearer for 1965 and 1966. In the earlier year, only about 36,000 foreign nationals were admitted for seasonal employment in the U.S. agriculture. In general, the employment of these workers was limited to relatively brief periods of time at the peak of the harvest; in other words, they were used to supplement the domestic workforce. So far as the overall effect on domestic workers is concerned, the data indicate that about 100,000 more were employed as seasonal workers in 1965 than in 1964. This increase, it should be noted, ran counter to the long-term decline in the total number of hired farm workers. The 1965 trend continued into 1966, with the use of foreign workers limited to those few instances in which extreme shortages of workers existed even after employers had made reasonable efforts to attract and hold domestic workers.

AB  - Using a mechanical analogy, the term 'intellect amplifier' could be applied to the data bank of the u.s. Bureau of labor statistics (bls) which is based on a computer system for storage, retrieval, and reduction of numeric information. The bls data bank and information system provides the social scientists with the direct use of the computer as a tool in their analyses of economic affairs without the need for writing in computer language on a job-by-job basis. An integrated data bank and information system implies a staff of sophisticated statisticians and economists with the imagination to seek new ways to solve old problems. In the future, imaginative and aggressive users will create new problems as they push the system to the limit.

AB  - Problem oriented languages have made talking to machines more natural. Although the social scientists may expect to address the computer in english, his own language is only a subset of the english vocabulary involving the jargon of the specialist. The language of the u.s. Bureau of labor statistics (bls) information system is not fully developed as the rules for the preparation of instructions to the system which cannot be regarded as english language structures are being replaced by a near-english free form. At the bls, the talk is mainly between the user and the machine, with only occasional intervention by the information processing professional, whose job may be compared to that of a telephone maintenance man who makes the placing of a call possible but who is never involved in the conversation. The problem oriented language provides the user with a great potential since the language is limited only to the statistical programs involved, the data stored, and the nature of the instruction set.

AB  - The article discusses the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) and some of the financial problems of government employment unions. The largest single union of federal government employees found itself badly in need of additional income to finance its operations. Organizing new members and lodges have also necessitated major expenditures. There is also a need to turn the attention of employee organizations more to the white collar segment of the federal service. The difficulties that unions face in organizing white collar workers in the private sector are compounded for unions in the federal sector by civil service guarantees and benefits which are not enjoyed by all those in the private economy.  INSET: MAJOR 1966 COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENTS.

AB  - The several social insurance programs are based upon the same theory and principles: a loss of earnings or support will entitle a person to benefits. This income is available only through individual program specialists. The importance of these benefits and the objectivity expected of the staff strongly suggest that this work be considered a profession. Although the present performance of the specialists falls short of professional standards, greater responsibility is being accepted. Professional recognition will come only when the workers identify themselves with the broad field of social insurance; it will not come from continued identification with a given program or with one government bureau.

AB  - A description is given of the system of replicated samples introduced into the Consumer Price Index as of December 1963. Essentially simple in concept, the main difficulties related to implementation of the design throughout the complex CPI structure. Estimates of sampling error in the CPI, the first such estimates for a major national price index, are given, and their adequacy and limitations evaluated. The results indicate that any change in the published CPI of .2 per cent (not index points) over a monthly, quarterly or longer period is significant at the 5 per cent level. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - As a result of the continuing Federal-State cooperative test research program in the Employment Service, aptitude test batteries for a large number of specific occupations have been developed. These test batteries are in daily use by Employment Service counselors of candidates for training programs established under the Manpower Development and Training Act (MDTA) of 1962. To what extent are these test batteries predictive of success of enrollees in MDTA courses? This article summarizes the available evidence on this question, based on data for 875 MDTA trainees in 12 courses. In 10 of the 12 samples the operational test norms showed significant cross validity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Occam's Razor, Morgan's Canon, and the principle of parsimony suggest that the simpler of two hypotheses is to be preferred. With due respect to Jones' informative comment (American Psychologist, 1968, 23(3), p. 202; see record [rid]1990-55844-001[/rid]), psychological terminology often defies communication.

AB  - Microeconomics theory predicts that the market shares of firms in differentiated, highly concentrated oligopoly should be stable. Yet, if the conventional assumption of fixed consumer tastes is relaxed this prediction may be modified. This paper tests the share-stability prediction for firms in the heavily differentiated, highly concentrated cigarette industry, during periods when it was reputed to have experienced notable variations in consumer tastes. The prediction that the firm's market share is stable in heavily differentiated, highly concentrated oligopoly is rather thoroughly accepted in the literature. Market shares could be stabilized by either strong buyer allegiance, a concomitant of product differentiation, or by nonprice interdependence or collusion which are hypoethetical results of high concentration. However, when exceptional, autonomous shifts in buyer tastes are introduced, knowledge of and/or concern for rival, reactions may be expected to diminish firm interdependence and nonprice rivalry could increase. Either the shift in demand or the resulting increase in rivalry could disturb market share stability.

AB  - This article presents the author's views on various issues related to counselors and counseling, published in previous issues of the Personnel and Guidance Journal. The Congress has charged counselors in the Manpower Administration and other agencies with an overwhelming responsibility to cure the ills of the unemployed. "Counseling" has been looked upon almost as a panacea, and it has been unable to meet and may never meet the myriad expectations of counselors, clients, employers, and administrators. Counselors in the "real world" are in imminent need of two things: (a) solid research which can develop effective counseling methods; (b) assistance in defining and proclaiming the role of the counselor. Presently there is a great deal of confusion and conflict among counselors and administrators in regard to counselor role. The idea of pinpointing expected outcomes and providing a system of continuous feedback for modification of efforts appears to be tremendously important and long overdue.

AB  - The paper discusses the role of prices in the framework of the new System of National Accounts (SNA) in terms of three major uses: (1) deflation, (2) price indicators, and (3) price analysis. Following a brief review of the price and quantity measures required by the new SNA with its emphasis on deflation of commodity flows and input-output accounts, in addition to the more conventional deflation of final demand categories, the paper discusses some of the conceptual, methodological and data problems involved in implementing the various uses of prices in the new SNA. Implementing the use of prices as deflators depends, in part, on the concept of output selected (national versus domestic; gross versus net), and which of six concepts of valuation, ranging from purchasers' value to true factor cost, is used. Some of the difficulties in deflating nonmarket flows (e.g., interplant transfers) and industry value added, based on the double deflation method, are discussed. In concept price deflators, which have shifting weights, cannot be used as price indicators, which should have fixed weights. In practice, this is often disregarded and the deflators are used as price indicators. The paper support the SNA recommendation for the development of price indexes with fixed weights to be used as price indicators, in addition to the implicit price deflators. Research in the United States indicates that differences in weights can result in different price measures for various subperiods, components of demand and sector output. Periodic revisions in weights in provide more current fixed weights for price and quantity indexes in each subperiod may minimize the problem but it introduces a new problem—lack of comparability with the constant price tables in the SNA which have fixed weights for the entire period. The new SNA provides a comprehensive and integrated framework for price analysis including the analysis of the structure of aggregate price changes, the industrial... [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This article assesses the collective bargaining structure in the maritime industry in the U.S. in 1970. If the diversified and fractionalized maritime collective bargaining structure can be characterized as involving craft union structure, it is a structure which is unique to the off-shore maritime industry. It includes long-established unions of supervisory licensed personnel, an exceptional situation. It includes coastwide bargaining units, rather than local units. Custom and status have been basic elements in the job structure on board ship, and the traditions of the sea are hard held to, reinforced as they are by statutes and collective agreements. Meanwhile, the major realities confronting the parties to bargaining in the U.S. flag merchant marine have been the post-war decline in the volume of cargo carried, the growing obsolescence of U.S. flag ships, and the decline in job opportunities. The major concern of the maritime unions has been with the maintenance and protection of job opportunities. Their efforts in the labor-management relationship have been coupled with the active support given ship management in seeking government assistance. These efforts have been thwarted by divergent, competing and, as a result, self-defeating efforts by subsidized and unsubsidized groups of both management and labor.

AB  - The article presents information related to the educational system of the United States. Various kinds of pressures on education prevent schools from facing up to the problems and needs of three groups in particular: the disadvantaged, brightest students and women. Too many schools seem pre-occupied with preparing students for college. Certainly no one seriously disputes the value of a college education, but the greatest harm done by overemphasis on college preparation is that it wastes the potential of so many. As things stand now, boys get a better break than girls. A girl who is not college-bound is offered little choice in vocational training during her high school years. In home economics, the skills taught are generally those that will be useful when she has her own home. Home economics teachers must explore the vocational opportunities offered by their subject. Ironically, a school system centered on college-bound students may fail to meet the needs of many of its brightest young people. Self-discovery, of course, does not take place under teachers who think in stereotyped terms.

AB  - This article comments on Gordon's study of developments in the measurement of price indexes for fixed capital goods as of September 1971. The major point of Gordon's paper is that wholesale prices indexes contain deficiencies which make them unsuitable as deflators for fixed capital. He contends that as a result measures of fixed capital stocks and fixed capital investment have been biased. This conclusion is based primarily on a comparison of wholesale price and unit value indexes, which presupposes the validity of the unit value indexes as measures of transaction prices. Although this assumption is crucial to the analysis, little justification is presented to support its acceptance. The most recent source of information on the relative reliability of unit values is contained in the Report of the Pricing Subcommittee of the U.S. Interagency Committee on the Measurement of Real Output. Gordon minimizes the relevance of this report to his study for two reasons: insufficient product overlap, and emphasis in his study on tightly specified goods.

AB  - This article focuses on day care facilities in the United States. Two groups of children, especially, need developmental day care. In order of numerical magnitude, the first is children of employed mothers who cannot arrange for satisfactory care at home. The second group is those whose mothers are economically deprived, are not working and are unable to provide them with the kind of preschool care that would give them an equal start with others. A large percentage of the licensed day care slots that have been added to the supply have been subsidized by public funds and are used largely for care of children in poor families. Relatively few families with two working parents are eligible for subsidized care. The number of working mothers who are not eligible for subsidized day care for their children, but whose incomes are too low to enable them to buy good care, is very large. To meet the day care challenge more effectively, it is necessary to set public financing sights far higher as well as stimulate private and voluntary action.

AB  - This article focuses on education programs for mature women in the United States. The number of mature women seeking a college education has risen markedly. The rising interest of mature women in returning to college is related in part to the greater desire of men and women in all age groups to develop their understanding of the complexities of modern life. Various demographic factors also help to explain the great interest of mature women in college attendance and they indicate why the interest is even greater among women than among men over 35 years of age. These factors include women's early age at marriage, the frequent changes in women's pattern of living and their lengthened lifespan . The forerunners of continuing education programs for women were the courses instituted following the Second World War. But the continuing education programs developed for women in the 1960s acquired some interesting new features. Some of these are: limited course loads in degree or nondegree programs, flexible scheduling of classes at hours convenient for housewives, liberal provision for transfer credits, educational and employment counseling, financial assistance for part-time study, nursery services, and job placement or referral services.

AB  - Past empirical studies of the aggregate-consumption function have often assumed constancy of the age distribution of the population. This paper relaxes that assumption by specifying a multiperiod-consumption function which introduces age-distribution parameters explicitly into the model. This is accomplished by specifying a multiperiod constant-elasticity-of-substitution (CES) type utility function where the consumer's time horizon is determined by various age-distribution parameters such as median age, retirement age, etc. The proportion of lifetime income spent on current consumption is shown to depend on the rate of interest, the age-distribution parameters, and the parameters of the utility function. Lifetime income, in turn, depends on the interest rates and age parameters. The model, which is nonlinear, is estimated using annual data from 1948 to 1965. The effects of changes in interest rates and age parameters are assessed, and a prediction-interval test is applied to the model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Originating from recommendations of two commission reports in 1866 and 1867, the Massachusetts Bureau of Labor Statistics survived a shaky start until it was strengthened by the appointment of Carroll D. Wright as Commissioner in 1873. Wright, who had little formal education, built a reputation as an honest, fearless student and publisher of statistics on practically every current problem of his day, and to him we owe the maturity of the science of labor statistics.

AB  - A utility tree is specified yielding a complete set of demand equations that subsumes the linear expenditure system as a special case. In contrast to the Stone-Geary system, it is shown that our S-branch model allows for Hicks-Allen complements, and it does not restrict the own-price elasticity. Moreover, it is not costly in terms of the additional parameters required. Maximum-likelihood estimates of the S-branch system are presented; these are derived by means of the Bard version of the Gauss-Newton algorithm. In this application to food expenditure data in the United States the use of the S-branch system avoids a potential misspecification which would have resulted from the application of the linear expenditure system.

AB  - It has long been recognized that productivity growth is a basic determinant of the amount of economic goods and services that the nation has available. In recent years it also has been recognized that productivity is involved in one way or another with most major issues of public and private policy. During periods of rising prices, interest has centered on the problem of rising costs and the relationship between productivity and wages. The need for information about productivity, therefore, is with us in inflation and recession, and has intensified greatly in recent years. Productivity is loosely interpreted to be the efficiency with which output is produced by the resources utilized. A measure of productivity is generally defined as the ratio relating output to one or more of the inputs (labor, capital, energy, etc.) which are associated with that output. For all productivity measures the concept of output is one of work done or the amount of product added in the various enterprises, industries, sectors, or economy.

According to him, the work of Mergen disputes his conclusion that the decisions made by the American Federation of Labor (AFL) Railway Employees Department, the AFL convention and the Wilson Board of Arbitration concerning jurisdiction over welders were political decisions. The author stated that there are several difficulties with Mergen's interpretation of events and his article. He said that his article refutes the contention that he did not look at events from the perspective of the participants. He points out that the difference between Mergen and his views is that he looks at events from the viewpoint of the union he is interested in which is the Blacksmiths.

AB  - The coverage of extended-care facilities (ECFs) under Medicare was intended as a means of shortening patient stays in short-term hospitals and reducing the overall costs of the program. Regression analysis of state data on the average hospital stay for Medicare patients in 1967 and 1968 shows that the use of ECFs has, in fact, contributed to shorter stays. Further, the savings in hospital reimbursements, estimated from the regressions, more than outweighed the costs of ECF care in both years. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The article discusses several issues related to education and women's rights in the United States. Change in customary ways of doing things, change of revolutionary proportions, is now enveloping education at every level. At its core is the issue of women's rights, particularly three pieces of federal legislation that made 1972 a climactic historical date in the drive by women for treatment in education equal to that of men. These landmark bills are the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972, the Education Amendments of 1972, and the Health Manpower Training Act of 1971. This trio of breakthrough new laws has catapulted the education community into a whole new ball game. Making the necessary changes will be a complicated and difficult job. But the effort must be made; in part because of the law, but also because our society as a whole and the education community in particular are suffering from an increasing waste of training, brain-power, and talent resulting from closing the doors to women.

AB  - In order to obtain the information needed to include Kenya in an international comparison of income and purchasing power, it was necessary to collect some data to supplement the regularly collected statistics. Special collection was particularly important for capital goods prices and rural consumer goods prices. The remainder of the work involved using unpublished data available from the Kenyan Statistical Division, either to obtain additional detail required by the comparison, or to maintain international consistency in concept and estimating procedures.

AB  - This article comments on several papers on industrial relations and multinational corporations (MNC) presented at the Industrial Relations Research Association's 1973 Annual Spring Meeting. Industrial relations and the MNC really involves two separate problems. The first is economic and includes the employment/manpower impact. The U.S. unions are particularly concerned about job losses and thus support the Burke-Hartke Bill quotas and controls on MNCs. The second is the somewhat political question of the evolving labor-management relations of the MNC. The Europeans center on this aspect especially because it is influenced by European Community (EC) harmonization and integration. Jerolyn R. Lyle's paper is noteworthy for two things. It is innovative and perhaps even unique in that it adds one small piece of empirical evidence about the employment practices of MNCs. The use of factor analysis is also notable as is the use of primary data from the Equal Employment Opportunity records. Shortcomings with description, definition, and source of the variables is a serious problem in the paper. This problem makes it difficult to furnish a final judgment on the strength of the findings. Discussion of the labor-management relations of the MNC presents a serious problem of too many symposia and conferences on the topic and not enough real research. Robert Copp and Ben A. Sharman are both especially qualified to state their respective positions since they come from an industry with one of the most highly developed stages of multinational firms and unions. But these positions have been stated before, and at length, in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the International Labour Organization, and the International Institute for Labour Studies an they will be state again.

AB  - The article presents the author's reply on a comment by George Strauss, on one of his papers focusing on the period of apprenticeship programs. Strauss argues that the extent of minority participation in construction apprenticeship programs is far more significantly influenced by factors other than the length of the training period. The author says that "Strauss identifies the principal factor left out of my previous analysis as status." According to him Strauss offers no definition of "status," except to say that the low-status trades are the mud trades. Strauss' division of the trades into high, medium, and low status categories indicates that status is positively correlated with educational level, ability, and annual and hourly earnings. Strauss also points out that the author's statement concerning nepotism is misleading in that it does not distinguish, between the sons of carpenters who are carpenters and the sons of carpenters who are electricians or bricklayers. The point is that those who have no relatives in any of these trades will have less chance of becoming an apprentice in any of these trades than those who have a relative in at least one of the trades.

AB  - The article focuses on the changes in the employment outlook for counselors in the growing period from sixties to seventies. The uncertainties arise from a variety of factors, that include, demographic, political, and developmental. By developmental is meant the adjustments that counselors and their professional organizations must make in this growing phase. The most significant demographic forces are the slowing of the birthrate, the continuing migration of poor people to the urban heartland, and the suburbanization of many metropolitan areas into megalopolises. There is substantial underemployment of counselors at the elementary level. The winds of political change are equally uncertain and perplexing to the forecaster. It would be easy and misleading to suggest that all good things for counselors come from the wisdom, policy, and largess of one or another political party. Substantial cuts have been made in funding for further counselor education and in both funding and authorizations for myriad categorical programs in which counselors and paraprofessionals are or were employed.

AB  - This article examines the notion that licensing of occupations is not in the public interest. Occupational licensing has been justifiable in the view of legislatures on the grounds that it protects the public interest; often, however, it is the producers of the good or service who present this argument to the state legislatures. This is hardly surprising, since the typical consumer is likely to suffer too small a wealth loss, in the form of higher prices, in the licensing of one more occupation, as has already been pointed out by others. The end result is the promotion of the interests of the producer group rather than those of the public. Though this is what economists would expect to happen, the principal difficulty in making progress with their case has been in trying to convince legislatures that the occupations receiving licenses do use their power to promote their own wealth at the expense of the consumer. Licensing initially raises entry costs by imposing at least a fee and usually also training requirements and shifts the short-run and long-run supply curves upward and to the left. Under these conditions, after licensing is imposed there will be a drop in entrants and an income gain distributed to members of the profession.

AB  - The article discusses the U.S. government's involvement in a strike by non-operating craft employees of the Florida East Coast Railway Co. in 1963. It reports that on January 23, 1963, the non-operating craft employees of the Florida East Coast Railway Company went on strike. Nine years later, a provisional settlement of the longest strike in railroad history and one of the most labyrinthian pieces of railway labor litigation was presented to the court for approval and final order. The Florida East Coast Railway, as part of the system established by Henry Flagler, had transported generations of northerners to the sunny resorts of the east coast of Florida and citrus fruits to their neighbors they left behind. It is informed in the article that collective bargaining in the railroad industry is governed by the Railway Labor Act. The scheme of the Act provides for extensive bargaining between the parties after notice of the desired change is given and if bargaining breaks down. The Act is structured to preserve a balance between labor and management so that one or the other will not completely dominate the working relationship. At last, on January 4, 1974, all parties brought to the court an agreement on all but four points on civil rights together with a revised distribution plan that would take effect within six months of date of final order.

AB  - This article examines how funding for manpower programs be allocated across geographical areas and presents alternative formulas that are designed to reflect various goals of manpower policy. In any analysis, major importance should be given to the need for recognizing that there is a net flow of workers into the central cities from the suburban areas. Ensuring access to adequate data for updating the formula is a major problem for any manpower revenue-sharing formula. Because some formulas are based on unemployment rather than income data, they are more easily updated compared to others that have been proposed.

AB  - The article focuses on the merit principle. For almost two decades before the early 1960s, the U.S. seemed proud of its advanced civil service concepts and processes. The authors were so confident that various reform commissions' calls for structural change were largely ignored. In the last dozen years, strong and growing protests against civil service have been raised from many sides: minority groups impatient with tests they do not pass, courts calling for test validity, unions demanding changes and a voice in decision making, even former supporters who question whether the practices do really obtain the best people or provide proper incentives. Criticism is severe and serious, and civil service administrators have become defensive. These criticisms fall into two basic categories. First, there an those who claim that civil service has moved too far in the direction of employee protectionism, which interferes with demands for better management and higher productivity. Second, it is argued that formerly sacred methods no longer permit adequate response to changing manpower requirements.

AB  - The article examines some aspects of discrimination in the market for public school teachers in the United States. The article uses cross section data from the Coleman Report for 1965. The conceptual framework is a model of the spatial distribution of teachers based on the theory of equal advantage. School characteristics, including student racial composition, intelligence of students, student motivational indicators and neighborhood hazards are found to be important sources of real wage variation in the teachers' market. The estimates imply that a minimum increment of $300 was required for average white teachers to accept average black teachers' school characteristics in 1965. The authors examine consequences of the fact that labor market transactions involve mutual, joint exchange of both labor services and consumption attributes at the workplace. Teachers sell the services of their labor, but simultaneously purchase utility bearing characteristics of the schools in which they work.

The author says that the fundamental issue of his work is the differentiation between empirical rejection of the Zeuthen-Nash bargaining model and differences in bluffing. Bognanno and Dworkin concern themselves with presenting reasons for and against differential bluffing. Minor institutional and econometric disagreements with Bognanno and Dworkin are also presented.

Two key elements of counseling are presentation of the biological aspects of sickle cell trait and sickle cell anemia, and dealing with misconceptions and potential psychosocial complications. The guidelines presented here define basic ingredients of counseling as applied to sickle cell trait. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The article assesses the impact of increases in income and tuition charges on the market share captured by private academic institutions in the U.S. from 1927 through 1972. In the U.S., the ratio of enrollment in the privately controlled institutions of higher education (IHE) to enrollment in the publicly controlled institutions has been declining since 1947. A time series of the ratios of undergraduate degree-credit enrollment in the public and private institutions to the number of 18-24-year-old high school graduates in the civilian population have been constructed. While both ratios exhibit a very similar pattern for the years 1927-51, after that period they diverge, with the public enrollment ratio rising and the private ratio declining. There has been some success in explaining fluctuations over time in the total public and private enrollment ratio using household income and an index of tuition charges as explanatory variables. Results suggest that the rise in the private to public tuition ratio has had a major depressing effect on the private to public enrollment ratio, while, on the other hand, the rise in family income has tended to favor an increase in the private share of the higher education market. The evidence presented in the study suggests that the income elasticity of demand for enrollments has been significantly greater in the private sector than in the public sector of higher education. Also, it suggests that the differences in the sum of the own price and cross price elasticities of demand have not been a factor in causing the private to public enrollment ratio to fall. Further, it suggests that the decline in undergraduate degree-credit enrollment in the privately controlled IHE relative to that in the publicly controlled IHE can be attributed to, on the demand side of the market, the rise in the private to public tuition ratio.

The DA&I is the Department of Labor's central audit organization. The directorate is responsible for (a) audit of all grants and contracts made by Department of Labor agencies and for internal audit of all Department of Labor operations, (b) negotiation and approval of cost allocation plans and indirect cost rates and (c) conduct of investigations into allegations of improper conduct by Department of Labor staff. The DA&I was originally established in 1967 as the Office of Program Review and Audit, by consolidating a number of small audit groups scattered throughout the department. The directorate's operating budget as of 1976 is about $5 million, with a budgeted staffing level of 214.

AB  - This article comments on Michael C. Lovell's article about the least-squares alternative in seasonally adjusting the unemployment rate, which appeared in the March 1976 issue of the periodical Brookings Papers on Economic Activity. Effective in January 1976, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics revised its approach to the seasonal adjustment of unemployment. Unemployment for adults is adjusted using the multiplicative procedures of the X-11 seasonal-adjustment program and unemployment for teenagers is adjusted using the additive procedures of the program. Previously, the multiplicative adjustment was used for all groups. Michael Lovell has laid down three criteria for an adequate adjustment. First, the sum preservation comes secondary to accuracy of the adjustment. Second, the final results of several different methods should be given ex-post tests of their actual orthogonality. Lastly, idempotency should again be tested on the live data of regression results. BLS used a test for it in arriving at its latest procedures. Additional criteria should also be considered in evaluating any new adjustment methodology, including the aspect that addition of more observations should bring minimal revisions to the previously adjusted data. The author said the Lovell's model for adjusting unemployment is additive--that is the magnitude of the seasonal is independent of the level of the series. Also the author commented that the use of explicit seasonal variables in a system of estimated equations is probably appropriate, no matter what the adjustment method, if the aim is to capture the total relationship between variables.

AB  - This article focuses on the accounting significance of current cost and present value in the measurement of a firm's economic income. Practical difficulties have led to a search for surrogate measures of income and this search is aimed to identify that information capable of providing users of accounting statements with the best means of estimating the firm's value and changes in that value. Current cost income has been suggested as a surrogate for economic income. In a perfectly competitive economy, this surrogate relationship is based on the equality of the components of replacement cost income to their corresponding counterparts within economic income. The marginal present value of a particular fixed asset depends upon a host of factors, such as, the discount rate, the length of time over which the asset is to be used, and the state of the firm's complementary equipment and capacity. Given these factors, the marginal present value of an asset changes with variations in the level of investment. The marginal present value of a one-unit increase in the number of assets purchased depends on: the marginal productivity of the additional asset; the marginal revenue the firm would obtain by selling this additional future output; and the marginal operating cost the firm would incur by utilizing the additional asset.

AB  - This paper presents a statistical study of direct voting behavior on a major initiative which would have reduced reliance on the use of property tax by local governments in California. The election measure called for a substantial reduction in the reliance on the property tax within the state, major limits on the use of the state income tax, and the assumption of financing local public education by state and county governments. The study emphasizes the inference of voter valuation of several provisions of the election measure by interpreting the correlations obtained between the intrastate voting pattern on the election measure with interjurisdictional variation in selected fiscal characteristics of several different types of local governments. Furthermore, analysis on the provisions of the measure shows that adoption of the Watson amendment, the resource allocation in the local governments and not simply resorting to considerations of personal tax liability to make a voting decision, would likely a differential impact between local governmental jurisdictions.

AB  - This article explores the implications of federal intervention in psychological testing for employment on personnel measurement in the U.S. The American Psychological Association has been quite active in the promotion of the proper use of tests. There are certain minimum standards which evidence about a test must meet in order to permit the use of that test in employment situations without infringing on the rights of people taking the test. In criterion-related validity studies, there is a concern about the need for representative samples and about the need for demonstrating that the use of a test is fair for members of all groups in the relevant labor market. Many psychologists, perhaps most, prefer that the performance domain be expressed in terms of tasks or duties and that the test be a representative sample of that domain.

AB  - The article focuses on the disparity among existing research on the measurement of wages and prices, with the price measurement side having received much more rigorous and extensive analysis. This disparity exists even though conceptual specifications for wage measures and for consumer price measures are similar and even though somewhat related bodies of studies exist on one or two of the major measurement problems. The article argues that the analysis of inflation--and labor economics as well--would greatly benefit from extension to labor market variables of the type of research that has been carried out on the price measurement side. At the micro level, issues which have dominated the price measurement literature have analogs on the wage measurement side. One is the question of quality error in price indexes.

AB  - The effect of the Head Start program on cognitive achievement is examined with two objectives in mind. First, we clarify the use of statistical models to evaluate programs that deal with nonrandom assignments to "treatment" and "control" groups, and we show the conditions for unbiased estimation of program effects. Second, we present a refined set of empirical estimates of Head Start effects, using multiple regression techniques. The data used are from the Westinghouse Learning Corporation. study, and our results generally support their pessimistic findings, although some qualifications are in order. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The article focuses on a new program under the U.S. Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA). The program, named the Senior Skills Center, is helping seniors become productive members of society again. Operated by the North Bay Human Development Corporation (NBHDC), the project is a self-help program that taps the resources of older adults to provide other seniors with second career training, counseling, job placement, and low-cost products and services. While the center program is directed at the senior population in general, it puts special emphasis on helping financially hard-pressed senior citizens. Michael Walsh is the founder and director of the center. George Ortiz, NBHDC president and a board member of the North Bay Senior Planning Council, hired Walsh as a job developer. Walsh helped him develop the center plan, and then presented the proposal for funding to the California State Employment and Training Advisory office, which administers the California Governor's 4 percent discretionary CETA funds. It is reported that according to the county prime sponsor's own records, its CETA programs had failed to reach the majority of its residents 55 or older, and poor.

AB  - The application of content validity to a merit examining process or rating schedule requires an extension of the concept beyond that of work samples and tests of knowledges or skills to measures of ability and personal characteristics. A method for accomplishing this without violating the principles of content validity is presented. This technique, called the job sampling approach, is a task-based, structured system of eliciting the information necessary to Construct the rating schedule from sources most able to provide that information and for using the information to construct the rating schedule and linking it to job performance. The steps include: definition of the performance domain of the job in terms of process statements; identification of the selection and measurement objectives of the organization; development of the measurement domain in relation to the performance domain and to the selection and measurement objectives; and demonstration that a close match between the performance domain and the measurement domain was in fact achieved.

AB  - Previous empirical estimates of the relationship between unemployment and unfilled vacancies in Great Britain have been obtained from a mis-specified model. In particular, past studies have attempted to estimate an equilibrium relation directly from observations which have in general been generated from disequilibrium states of the labour market. This paper presents and estimates a disequilibrium, job search-labour turnover model of the labour market, using quarterly British data, from which a static equilibrium 'UV' relationship can be derived. The empirical results suggest that there is no statistically significant equilibrium relationship between unemployment and vacancies in Great Britain. Consequently, the recent controversy over explanations for alleged shifts in this relationship may have been 'much ado about nothing.' [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The article focuses on pay differentials between federal government and private sector workers. In a recent article, economist Sharon P. Smith assesses the federal government's comparability pay policy, which is intended to provide equal pay for comparable work in the federal and private sectors. Smith argues that if this policy has been successful, workers who are comparable in their personal and productive characteristics should receive comparable pay. Smith estimates human capital earnings functions for federal and private workers in 1960 and 1970, regressing both annual earnings and hourly wages on education, work experience, and personal characteristics. She concludes that the comparability policy has not worked in that a substantial economic rent accrues to the federal worker. This comment takes issue with much of Smith's analysis. Smith's analysis is limited to the residents of Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia, chosen to obtain enough federal workers and comparable private sector workers in approximately one labor market

AB  - Reviews the book, The challenge of daycare by Sally Provence, Audrey Naylor, June Patterson (1977). This book is one of the most stimulating and constructive works now available in the day care field. This book tells so dramatic and convincing a story of what can be achieved when care is at its best, one can only hope it can help lift the goals of policy makers and legislators and spur them on to overly long delayed action. Looking to the future, the authors see as a change that will ultimately have to be made the coordinating and centralization of human services on a neighborhood basis, with neighborhood centers providing services related to public assistance, medical care, job training, employment and legal aid, and including a day care center, a family-service organization, and child guidance and mental health services.

AB  - Econometric investigations of the male labor supply function based on individual household data have yielded a wide variety of substitution elasticities. The authors maintain that this result has been due partially to inadequate theoretical grounding of both the wage and labor supply concepts, which they treat by decomposing the current wage into permanent and transitory components and by expanding labor supply to take account of unemployment time. Using data taken from the National Longitudinal Survey, they lest their thesis and find that for mature males, as predicted, permanent and transitory wage components generate differential supply responses and most unemployment time is actually desired work time. They also conclude that the explainable variation in the labor supply of mature males results less from variations in wages than from variations in attitudes, health, and demographic factors.

The author discusses each article and criticizes their shortcomings. He looks at von Furstenburg's use of the Phelps-Shell model of dynamic economic growth and notes the usefulness of neoclassical growth theory. The author feels that his discussion on the effects of government deficits on output growth or productivity represent a fruitful economic analysis innovation.

AB  - The article discusses some international aspects of small business in the U.S. It is quite obvious that all small businesses do not lend themselves to international marketing because of such things as raw material availability, transportation costs, and such problems as specialization of labor, lack of experience and limited production capacity. At the same time, it is quite obvious that there are thousands of small and medium-sized firms that should expand into the foreign markets. One study estimated that seven out of ten businesses in international trade are small. There are many success stories of small firms that have entered international markets. For example, Belshaw Brothers Inc. of Seattle, Washington, is making donuts popular in far off places such as India, Iran, Thailand, Africa, and Japan. This company sells 25 percent of its donut-making equipment overseas. The company, which began in 1923, has sold over 100,000 donut cutting heads, has 100 employees and has operated a modest export program since 1956.

AB  - This article discusses the importance of establishing fair labor standards for handicapped individuals in the U.S. It is claimed that the U.S. Department of Labor fully appreciates the importance of fair labor standards protection for handicapped individuals. This Department's primary objective is to foster mainstream employment of handicapped individuals to the maximum extent possible. In addition to the Section 14(c) program under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), the Department also administers Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. There have been provisions for the employment of handicapped workers at subminimum wages in the FLSA since its inception in 1938. Based on data obtained from the most recently conducted wage surveys in 1973 and 1976, average hourly earnings in workshops increased 14 percent over the three-year period, from 71 cents per hour in 1973 to 81 cents per hour in 1976. It was recognized that the overall wage increase in these programs did not keep pace with the increase in the statutory minimum wage over the same period.

AB  - The article suggests ways to improve and preserve the strength and well-being of the private pension system in the U.S. Nowhere are the shortcomings of the private pension system more apparent than when a pension plan terminates. The adequacy of the standards for funding, vesting and fiduciary conduct may all come into question when plan termination results in broken promises and unfulfilled expectations. And yet, many individuals are calling for an end of plan termination insurance, especially as it may apply to multiemployer plans. If termination insurance is to work for the private pension system, that the private pension system must pay for termination insurance. The first type of misuse could arise where plan benefits are increased in contemplation of termination. The second type of misuse may arise in the context of plant shutdowns or where part of a business is being closed or liquidated. In such circumstances, the employer must decide whether or not to continue the pension plan for affected employees. Annual liability payments due would be waived up to a one-million dollar per year ceiling in any year in which the employer was under a court-supervised organization proceeding pursuant to the Bankruptcy Act.

AB  - The article focuses on the achievements and challenges in the advocacy of working women's labor rights in the U.S. The trend is for more and more mothers to join the labor force. Their rate of entry into the world of work has been even greater than for all women in the past ten years. But women still find barriers to employment. One indication is the high rate of unemployment, now over 8 percent for women, compared to 6.2 percent for men. The U.S. Department of Labor is meeting the need of relating antidiscrimination efforts to employment and training efforts through demonstration programs carried out in FY 1978 in the ten cities where federal regional offices are located. Also, women have made known their dissatisfaction with white-collar jobs, from which they have limited opportunity to advance. The area of job health and safety raises, policy issues that are new in form but reminiscent of debates a decade ago. The evidence is accumulating that for the teen-aged mother job expectations are immediately diminished.  INSET: REVERSE DISCRIMINATION QUESTIONS.

AB  - The article analyzes the possible effects of a tax-based incomes policy (TIP) and compares them to the effects of a wage subsidy or a decreased payroll tax. The most widely reported versions of the TIP are those in which the corporate tax rate is made to vary with the rate of wage increase offered by the firm. A compensation based TIP would rest evenly on each dollar of labor compensation, meaning that a firm would have twice the incentive to hold down the wages on a high wage worker as on one earning half as much. A profits based TIP would have this same incentive if the wage rate used for tax purposes was simply an unweighted average of the wages paid to all classes of employees. It is important to interpret correctly the result concerning the similarities between a TIP and wage subsidies. The important result for policy purposes is not that under certain highly restrictive conditions one version of TIP and one version of a wage subsidy are exactly the same or exactly the opposite. In summary, TIP is one of a variety of policies that can influence the demand for labor. If we are to be sure that these policies do not work at cross purposes, they should be analyzed simultaneously.

AB  - This paper presents estimates of price elasticities of demand for the imports and exports of the U.S., the expanded European Economic Community (E.E.C.) and Japan in thirty-four manufacturing categories. Due in part to the cumbersome data problems, previous disaggregate research in this area has been piecemeal-limited to estimating price elasticities for one country or for several countries but for noncomparable categories. Consequently, to examine issues affecting several commodities and countries, researchers have been forced to amalgamate disparate studies, to rely heavily on imputation, or to do both. Aside from comparability, estimates presented here are distinguished by four major characteristics, first, the E.E.C. elasticities apply to the E.E.C. as an entire unit and not to just one or more member countries, second, estimates reflect a consideration of the potential bias resulting from the use of unit-value trade data and from the familiar simultaneity problem, third, estimated equations are not generally restricted to the traditional relative-price specification and finally, direct empirical estimates are obtained for the textile and steel categories that are subject to voluntary export restrictions.

AB  - This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of productivity growth that is aimed at identifying the factors behind the slowdown in U.S. labor productivity between 1973 and 1978. It investigates productivity in the private business sector for which quarterly labor productivity and cost statistics are published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The basic methodology weights growth rates of capital and labor inputs by their shares in gross domestic product of this sector. Although growth in labor productivity is the target for explanation, the framework includes the contribution of multifactor productivity growth--the Hicks-neutral residual. The measurement techniques draw primarily on the work of Denison and Dale W. Jorgenson. The factors the authors examine as possibly contributing to the slowdown are limited to those that can be quantified and adapted for inclusion in a national accounts framework. In addition, the authors examine the existence and timing of the productivity slowdown and its pervasiveness among major industry sectors of the economy. And they estimate the contribution to this slowdown of changes in the composition of the labor force, changes in capital-labor ratios, trends in the ratio of hours worked to hours paid, interindustry shifts of capital and labor, capital expenditures for pollution abatement, and increases in energy prices.

AB  - This paper develops a theory of the unemployed individual's choice of how much effort to devote to search. The term effort involves two choice variables, time and money. Specific attention is given to the role of unemployment contingent income and the probability of obtaining employment without search. The theory is tested using data from a supplement to the May 1976 Current Population Survey. The empirical findings suggest search theory is important in explaining the behavior of the unemployed: unemployment insurance benefits decrease search time per period, and search time is lower for individuals on layoff--a group that has a positive probability of employment without search effort.

AB  - The article proposes an alternative approach for measuring time series instability. By considering the general class of covariance stationary stochastic processes, the time series is seen as decomposed into two components: a systematic, predictable component and an unexpected, unpredictable component. The latter reflects the inherent variability or unpredictability of the series; after all predictive information in the past history of the series is accounted for, what remains is a component that is intrinsically unpredictable and in this sense inherently unstable. In the extreme case in which a series is perfectly predictable it possesses no inherent instability; in the more typical situation a series will have a component that is not capable of being predicted from all the past information contained in the series. The latter is properly viewed as an unexpected component and represents the inherent variability of the series.

AB  - Under the strong maintained conditions used here—demand functions are linear in household characteristics, and the covariance between per-capita expenditures and household characteristics is zero (doubt is raised that this condition holds for all groups)—it is found that conditions for the existence of aggregate utility functions (as a function of average income) are met for some groupings of individual households. But they are not met for all groupings. The national aggregate behaviour of groups 3 and 9 fulfil the aggregate condition, but it is necessary to limit the group 6 characteristics to satisfy the same conditions. Although this is a study of the empirical evidence on the existence of group utility functions, there are two by-products of the study that are worth noting. The first is the evidence that within a linear expenditure specification the marginal budget shares, bi's, vary with household characteristics and the "so called" subsistence parameters, fi's, do not. The conclusion follows from rejecting the Gorman condition and not rejecting the Theorem 2 proportionality conditions. The second by-product is the evidence, given the conditions listed above, that individual households are utility maximizers. This conclusion follows from accepting the Theorem 2 conditions as well. Households with demand functions that are linear in m are utility maximizers if and only if they possess Gorman Polar Form indirect utility functions. Because of the relationship between the constant C in Theorem 2 and the quantity f, a rejection of Theorem 2 conditions would imply that households do not possess the necessary GPF utility function and therefore could not be utility maximizers. Thus, the acceptance of the Theorem 2 conditions supports hypotheses that imply the existence of household utility functions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

It is not precisely clear what the figures imply for the issue of sex discrimination in union membership. Increasing female unionization would probably diminish only modestly the present male-female wage differential. Based on documents; 13 notes.

AB  - In a recent note in "Review of Economics and Statistics," economist Kazuo Sato, considered a potential error in the ACMS method of correcting estimates of the elasticity of substitution to take account of efficiency differences. Sato had pointed out an error in the usual conclusion that the elasticity of substitution is inevitably biased towards one if an efficiency variable correlated with the wage rate is omitted. In addition, the observation that measures of the elasticity of substitution based on Hicks-neutrality are unduly constrained may be a useful idea in many different contexts. Sato's fundamental criticism to the ACMS method appeared to be that the assumption of Hicks-neutrality unduly restricts the potential value of the elasticity of substitution. This was an interesting comment and may potentially turn out to be a valuable insight in many different contexts. However, many recent studies in economics have estimated the elasticity of substitution based on the assumption of Hicks-neutral productivity differences.

AB  - The article focuses on the substitution bias of the Laspeyres price index. The most commonly used measure of the cost of living, the Consumer Price Index published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, is essentially a Laspeyres price index. It is well-known, however, that a Laspeyres price index provides an upward biased estimate of the cost of living, because in keeping the same base period basket of goods as weights, it does not take into account substitution among commodities induced by relative price changes. The magnitude of the bias is an empirical question, which is the focus of this study. An estimate of the substitution bias may be obtained by taking the difference between the Laspeyres price index and an estimated true cost-of-living index. The true cost-of-living index is based on the theory of consumer demand. It is the ratio of the minimum expenditures under two different price regimes necessary to maintain a constant level of utility. The size of the bias depends on two factors, the size of consumption substitution elasticities and the magnitude of relative price changes.

AB  - This article examines the correlation between the level of wage rate and establishment size. The Industry Wage Survey (IWS) program of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, basic data source, surveys some 70 narrowly defined industries, most of them at three-to five-year intervals. Each survey collects data on straight-lime average hourly earnings for selected occupations representing the industry's wage structure; information on union status, employment size, and other characteristics of the establishment is also included. From the IWS data, we selected 34 recently surveyed manufacturing industries for the sample. Size of area coefficients were generally positive as expected. Twenty-two of the 59 area coefficients in these nine industries were positive and significant. Notably, Paints and Varnishes had five of seven statistically significant area coefficients, and Meatpacking, four of six. All the establishment size coefficients were also significant, indicating that size of establishment is not simply a proxy for size of area.

AB  - This article presents the authors' comments on different papers related to the measurement of productivity growth. Albert Rees mentions several problems in productivity measures in his article. There is some downward bias to the BLS measures of productivity, however, it is not very large, as may seem to be indicated by Rees' observations. The problem of inclusion of input measures for output in the National Income and Product Accounts has a very small impact on the BLS measure. As Rees mentions, it affects only 5 percent of the measure of total real output. Overall, Rees provides a sound basis on which measurement of both aggregate and industry productivity can be improved. In another paper, Zvi Griliches focuses on the ratio of research and development (R&D) expenditure to gross national product (GNP). According to him, of about 1966, R&D contributed at most 0.3 percentage points to the growth rate of private domestic GNP. A key ingredient of this calculations is the amount of R&D expenditures for projects that can be expected to raise output per unit of input.

The lower work rate of migrant wives after moving is a function not only of moving for husbands' job opportunities, but being in the childrearing stage of the life cycle. However, the socioeconomic characteristics are lower for nonworking than for migrant wives, and migrant wives who work have higher levels of education and higher status jobs prior to and after moving than nonmigrants.

AB  - The impact of unionism on relative wage rates is a topic of long-standing interest in labor economics. Over the years researchers have used a variety of approaches to estimate the wage advantage associated with union membership. Initially, researchers compared the average wages of union and nonunion workers in specific sectors, such as an industry. This approach has the obvious limitation of not accounting very well for the various quality or productivity differences that exist among workers-differences that command compensating wage payments. Standard methods of measuring the impact unionism has on relative wage rates are not able to control fully for the various quality differences that exist among workers. This limitation has encouraged skepticism about estimates of the union wage effect. The paper has attempted to eliminate the problem of unmeasured worker quality differences by comparing the initial and subsequent wage of the same worker who changes union membership status. Several other interesting findings emerge from the study.

AB  - Unemployment insurance programs differ across States, potentially .affecting locational decisions of firms and the pattern of unemployment across States. This paper provides an investigation of such differences in UI programs across States that avoids the complex task of comparing numerous program parameters (including unobserved differences like enforcement standards). Three key measures of State differences are obtained that permit a sharper delineation of the actual differences that a given worker could expect to encounter if located in an alternative State and that suggest difference in UI taxes a given employer could expect to encounter if located in an alternative State.

AB  - The purpose of this paper is to provide new evidence on the determinants of household vacation travel expenditures using data from the 1972-73 CES. The detailed information on household characteristics allows us to assess the separate effects of each variable on the likelihood of travel and the level of expenditures. Specifically, Tobit analysis is used to obtain parameter estimates with which one can decompose the total effect of each factor into its effect on the probability of travel and on expenditures. <BR> Section II briefly discusses the model and data. Section III presents the empirical results, while Section IV provides some concluding remarks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This article examines how one response of domestic producers to an exogenous change in relative prices may reduce estimates of import price elasticities made for aggregate classifications of imports. The importance of output effects for estimated elasticities depends upon the level of aggregation used in the estimation and on the input-output structure of the importing country. As a case study, authors estimate the magnitude of output effects for import price elasticities estimated for Canada, using the aggregate classification. elasticities for aggregate classifications. Results indicate that output effects could reduce estimated import price elasticities for Canada by as much as 10% to 15% for some aggregate classifications. These net suits tend to understate the importance of output effects for estimated elasticities to the extent that they do not include any output effects of changes in exports and they tend to overstate the importance of these effects to the extent that supply curves for domestic production are less than perfectly elastic. However, they provide order-of-magnitude estimates of the bias caused by output effects when import price elasticities estimated for aggregate classifications are applied to disaggregate classifications of imports.

AB  - This article provides a methodology for evaluating the direct distributional impacts of energy conservation plans. Focusing on gasoline conservation, we analyze two different types of plans: excise taxes and white market coupon rationing. Using a sample which focuses on the nonbusiness use of individual households and a gasoline demand function estimated on data from these households, we provide simulated burdens for the different conservation plans. We analyze in detail the distribution of the burden, partitioning the population by income class as well as by several important demographic characteristics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - The article presents author's narrative of pension fund (PF) investments in the U.S. The idea of union use of employee pension funds suggests an interesting hypothesis about the relationship between unions and pensions. We know that pension coverage is much more extensive among union members than in the non-union sector. Yet the explanations for this result are not fully satisfying. Examples of these are that union members are less mobile or that the union leadership justifies its existence by providing different, if not necessarily better, compensation packages. The BC paper suggests another: The pension is a solution to a public good problem. Suppose there is some investment strategy which would benefit most workers - for example, targeting investment into depressed heavily-unionized sectors, such as construction in the Northeast. This strategy will not be followed if left to individual, voluntary decisions. Each worker's savings represents such a small portion of the total funds required, that it will not be privately rational to make the investment at a reduced, or more risky return. However, a mandatory pension solves the "free-rider" problem. Everyone must contribute to the achievement of the collective goal. Again, this process requires that the union leadership directs the funds in accordance with the preferences of the membership.

AB  - The article presents a response to an earlier article of the October 01, 1981 issue of the periodical "American Sociological Review." Bridges and Miller argue that the sample is restricted, making generalization a bit difficult. Furthermore, they argue that their replication with the QES (and equally good if not better measures) gives a more accurate representation of the process of acquiring power in the workplace. Bridges and Miller state that the major differences are that they find experience and tenure effects are larger for men than for women.

AB  - Designs for the analysis of mobility effects are flawed by the manner in which the effects of origins and destinations are parametrized. Consequently, suggestions that mobility experiences do not affect attitudes and behaviors are inconclusive. A new class of models (diagonal mobility models) for the analysis of mobility effects which are demonstrably grounded in sociological theory is proposed, and estimation of these models is discussed. To illustrate the use of these models, a reanalysis of the relationship between fertility and intergenerational mobility is presented, using data from the 1962 Occupational Changes in a Generation (OCG-1) survey. The effects of origin and destination on fertility do not depend upon particular origin or destination classes; the effect of destination on fertility appears to be stronger than the effect of origin; and there is only weak evidence of mobility effects.

AB  - The article reviews the potential avenues of relief that may be available for excepted service attorneys in the U.S. who are facing a dismissal action. A dismissal that is challenged on grounds that the employer's action in fringed upon the discharged party's constitutional procedural due process is usually based upon a claim that there has been a denial of liberty or property without the due process of the law in violation of the fifth amendment of the U.S. Constitution. The article presents four distinguishable routes that may offer grounds for contesting a summary discharge. These are constitutional, statutory, regulatory and collective bargaining. Finally, it discusses the U.S. Supreme Court case in holding Keim v. U.S. which involves non-preference-eligible attorneys in the excepted service.

AB  - This paper examines the accuracy of the home purchase component of the Consumer Price Index. Alternative monthly index series are simulated over the period 1973-1978 using FHA Master Statistical File data. Hedonic indexes derived from monthly regressions are compared to series constructed by the current CPI index method, which utilizes only age and size of house in correcting for intertemporal quality change. Of particular interest b the BLS practice of "linking out" price changes occurring when FHA raises its ceiling on the size of insurable mortgages. This procedure may have led to a significant downward bias in the official index. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This article examines the impact of reimbursement on admissions by nursing homes. Low rates of payment for Medicaid patients suggest that nursing homes should prefer non-Medicaid patients. Such preferences are observable in daily admissions data from some of a sample of 18 Southern California facilities. Facilities with observable preferences tend to have strong incentives to prefer non-Medicaid patients. The statistical method used to observe preferences may have applications to studies of discrimination in other settings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The article discusses the economic implications of the aging U.S. labor force. It has been the conventional wisdom of the economics profession that the substantial increases in Social Security benefit eligibility rates and in Social Security benefits have had an important effect on the work effort of older men. Economic considerations importantly affect the decisions of older workers to remain or to leave their job. They find that the greater the earnings of a worker, the less likely he is to leave his job. As was the case with regard to Social Security, if a pension is not neutral with respect to the age it is taken, then changes in the present discounted value of that pension will change the rewards paid for work and importantly affect the work decision. Like Social Security, it has affected work effort not only by increasing wealth at older ages, but also by tilting benefits such that wealth would fall for those who stayed at work. The link between empirical analysis and public policy is often a precarious one. Sometimes complicated relationships are successfully captured in rule of thumb numbers which allow the policymaker to roughly approximate the economic implications of various program alternatives. But at other times, these rule of thumb values fail to capture the real movements they are assumed to be measuring.

AB  - Nonpecuniary job characteristics, as well as the money, wage and prices, are important determinants of labor supply. These variables all are statistically significant in the basic translog and homothetic translog specifications. Income and price elasticities derived from demand system estimations often differ in sign and magnitude from those in the labor supply literature. Furthermore, the translog forms yield results that differ in sign and magnitude, and in the variables that are statistically significant. Estimates of the demand for leisure and nonpecuniary job using a utility-maximizing framework can derive characteristics that allow for cross-price effects as well as own price effects and also incorporate the restrictions of microeconomic theory. While such a utility-maximizing framework is often used in theoretical discussions, empirical estimations of labor supply that incorporate the restrictions of theory are somewhat less common. Of those studies employing a demand system setting, none incorporate nonpecuniary job characteristics into the model as one of the arguments of the utility function. The effect of this omission on estimates of price and income elasticities has not been known.

AB  - A method is developed for imputing missing values when the probability of response depends upon the variable being imputed. The missing data problem is viewed as one of parameter estimation in a regression model with stochastic censoring of the dependent variable. The prediction approach to imputation is used to solve this estimation problem. Wages and salaries are imputed to nonrespondents in the Current Population Survey and the results are compared to the nonrespondents' IRS wage and salary data. The stochastic censoring approach gives improved results relative to a prediction approach that ignores the response mechanism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The article presents new estimates of the employer size wage relation using data from the U.S. Current Population Surveys for May and June 1979. Numerous studies have found that large employers pay higher wages. This study confirms that result. In a major departure from past analyses, however, the data that are analyzed cover the entire work force and provide worker specific information on both plant or establishment size and firm size. The results presented indicate that plant and firm size both have strong positive associations with wages. Interacting plant and firm size with union membership reveals that the union- nonunion relative wage differential is much greater in small firms and/or plants. The results also indicate that the positive association between firm size and wages is found across broad industry groupings and among firms operating in competitive product markets as well as those operating in more concentrated settings. Finally, in a rough attempt at adding health and pension benefits to the wage measure, firm size and union membership have proportionally greater impacts on the expanded measure of compensation than on wages.

AB  - The first aim of this study is to estimate the interest rates paid for motor vehicle loans. The second aim is to identify those potential borrowers most likely to be rationed out of the market by the imposition of rate ceilings. Rate ceilings constrain the rates paid by successful loan applicants to be no greater than the applicable ceiling level. These constraints are dealt with by treating the interest rate paid as a variable truncated at the ceiling level. Assuming the dependent variable is truncated normal, consistent estimates are obtained by employing the maximum likelihood method of Hausman and Wise. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The purpose of this article is to provide some empirical evidence on the quantitative and qualitative variations across households in inflation rates, implied by Laspeyres-type price indexes, over the period 1972-73 to 1982. The author states that the use of a single index in adjusting the incomes of groups of varying individuals has a distributional impact which is automatic. The author hoped to determine the extent to which price indexes shift across households partitioned into homogeneous groupings while keeping in mind variables which may influence the patterns of consumption.

AB  - The article discusses the need for the U.S. Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. to protect participants and beneficiaries in terminated defined pension plans against loss of their basis pension benefits. In 1974, when the Employee Retirement Income Security Act was passed, the annual premium imposed by the U.S. Congress on single employer plans was one dollar per participant. By 1977, when it became clear that the premium was not adequate to cover claims against the system. The average claim against the Corporation from terminating plans is currently over one million dollars, compared to just under $300,000 in 1977. The amount of claims incurred by the Corporation is equal to the present value of basic benefits in terminated plans less the sum of plan assets turned over to the Corporation on plan termination and less any amounts recovered by the Corporation under the employer liability provision. The Corporation's premium study forecasts that a premium increase to six dollars would cover projected new benefit claims through the end of 1986 and amortize, by the end of 1987, the $236 million deficit that will exist at the end of fiscal year 1982.

N2  - This study explores whether union wage premiums reflect compensating differences or noncompetitive rents. It is argued that if (1) there exists substantial dues variability, and (2) there is a positive wage-dues relation among union workers, at least part of the observed union premium is noncompetitive. Empirically, these two conditions are substantiated both within and across industries using the PSID microdata base. On average, 44 percent of the overall union premium is attributable to noncompetitive sources. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

N2  - This paper pools cross-section data to obtain an estimate of the overall effects of unions on relative wages for the period 1967 through 1977. We found the average union wage premium for all workers to be roughly 24 percent, but that this premium varies substantially between subgroups of workers. Our analysis showed that real wage rates increased faster in the union sector than in the nonunion sector between 1967 through 1977. However, we found that this relative growth pattern in wages was caused by economic conditions rather than in any fundamental shift in the power of unions. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

AB  - This paper uses two new data sources, each of which combines information on worker and establishment characteristics with detailed information on the components of employee compensation, to examine union/nonunion pay differentials for white-collar workers. Estimates reveal that nonunion wages and total compensation are more responsive than union pay levels to worker productivity differences, such as education and work experience. Also, large firms pay 10 to 15 percent more to their white-collar employees than small firms in the nonunion sector but only 5 percent or less in the union sector. Overall, the white-collar union wage differential appears to be 3.5 to 4.0 percent, rising to 7.1 percent when fringe benefits are included in the dependent variable. Significant spillovers to nonunion white-collar workers, which appear to erode the measured union/nonunion pay differentials, are also found. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Longitudinal estimates of the variability of individual wages, hours, and weeks worked over the course of changing demand states are provided for all workers generally and for workers of varied levels of job experience. Emphasis is placed on that part of job experience represented as years on current job, a commonly used proxy for the magnitude of firm-specific skills. Interpretation of resulting estimates in the context of the labor market contracting literature is attempted. Generally significant procyclical patterns are found for real weekly wages, weekly hours, and weeks worked. The extent of weekly wage variability is much greater than is generally suggested in the literature. Furthermore, workers with greater tenure exhibit greater cyclical wage and hours variability and less weeks variability. Finally, empirical distinctions are drawn separately for white-collar and blue- collar as well as union and nonunion workers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - In this article, an attempt has been made to review and update the manager of the small business enterprise to some of the activities which the Occupational Safety and Health Administration has undertaken to assist the small business employer to bring his establishment into compliance with occupational safety and health standards (or with state requirements in those 24 states and territories which have had plans approved for promulgating and enforcing their own standards). OSHA is constantly seeking ways by which it can provide more and improved services and support to all of those employers and employees who are affected by the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970.

AB  - This paper investigates the role of each of these influences and several other elements of advanced technology and innovation. The present analysis improves on most prior work in many important respects. First, the appropriate economy-wide measures of factor abundance are used instead of interindustry comparisons which do not adequately convey such information. Secondly, an unusually broad variety of different concepts of technology is examined within a consistent data set. Thirdly, each facet of technology is measured in considerable industrial detail, at the three-digit SIC level within manufacturing. Since three-digit industries contained within a two-digit sector often have extremely different technological characteristics, this industry detail constitutes an important advantage. Fourthly, all concepts are measured at each stage of fabrication, as determined from the total requirements version of the input-output table.[2] Fifthly, similar consistent and detailed measures of occupational skill and capital intensity, in constant dollars, are included for purposes of comparison. These advantages permit a far more conclusive examination than ever previously conducted of the extent to which science-technology, rather than labour skills or capital, differentiates the United States economy from the rest of the world and of exactly what elements of science and technology most strongly distinguish the United States economy.

AB  - In this paper we present the results of an analysis of the impact of the National Health Service Corps (NHSC) on the utilization of physician services and on health status in rural areas, using Health Interview Survey (HIS) data for 1978. Because county identifiers were available to us for the study, we were able to link the HIS data to aggregate county data and to control for characteristics of the market for physicians' services in the individual's area of residence, including whether or not the individual was nearby to an NHSC site. Although weak evidence of a favorable NHSC impact is found for children, on balance, there is no conclusive evidence in either direction for men or women. Differences in neither income level nor race are found to be strongly associated with differences in utilization or in the number of bed days. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This paper examines the extent of response errors in labor market survey data and explores the implications of such errors for economic analysis. Explicitly examined are responses to questions on industry, occupation, union status, hours worked, and wages. Analyses are based on two sources: (1) a special supplement to the January 1977 Current Population Survey that obtained data from workers and their employers and (2) an exact match of workers and their employers interviewed in the Employment Opportunity Pilot Project Survey. The dual nature of these surveys provides a basis for analyzing the effect of response error on a variety of economic analyses including the trade-oft between wages and risk, the wage impact of unionism, and the sensitivity of wage-determination models to alternative responses to earnings questions.

Sluggish economic growth was not a regional phenomenon, but existed on a national level. Changes in growth levels are accounted for by variations in the growth of the total factor production. Interregional differences resulted from differences in the growth of capital and labor inputs, not from differences in economic efficiency.

AB  - This study examines the decision to participate in the labor force made by persons over 54 years of age. Through the use of a set of pooled time-series cross-section observations from the Current Population Survey over the years 1974-80, the analysis emphasizes the effect of two factors on this decision: cohort crowding and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). The empirical results reveal that pressures arising from the relative growth in the youth population led to increased labor market activity by older women; that retirement incentives in the form of SSI and social security had a negative effect on female as well as male labor-force behavior, though the effects were considerably stronger for men; and that the differential between men's and women's participation rates was largely a result of the female response to marital status and retirement incentives.

AB  - This study uses longitudinal microdata from the Current Population Survey to examine the consistency with which unemployment duration is reported. An estimate of measurement error is proposed and analyzed. A significant negative relationship is found between the initial month's unemployment duration and the reported change between surveys. On average, persons who begin spells of unemployment in the second month report durations greater than the actual time elapsed. Overall, the average duration of unemployment in this sample may be overstated by at least two weeks. A brief discussion of some implications for empirical labor market research concludes the article. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - We consider several grouping tests for regression misspecification, with reference to housing-demand function estimation. We compare three existing test procedures, demonstrate modifications necessary in most applications, and propose a fourth test to distinguish between two categories of potential specification error. The test procedures are evaluated in artificial simulations of alternative errors. Finally, we apply the tests to FHA home purchase data. We reject the hypothesis that household and grouped regressions differ only by sampling error or random mismeasurement of household income or price. Our results have implications for choices among test procedures and interpretations of previous housing-demand analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The article reports on the implementation of the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) in the U.S. Under JTPA, Private Industry Councils, with a majority of their members consisting of private employers, are involved in every phase of the program's planning, operation, and assessment. Basic to the Act is the premise that training is the vehicle for providing to disadvantaged and dislocated workers the skills that they will need to obtain regular, self-supporting employment. The Act emphasizes this commitment by requiring that 70 percent of the resources be expended on training. Even before JTPA was signed into law, a transition task force was established in ETA to direct implementation of the anticipated legislation. In October 1982, the month JTPA was signed into law, the implementation plan for the Act was published. Local jurisdictions also worked on the developing of local job training plans to be implemented on October 1. On October 1, the JTPA was up and running throughout the nation.

AB  - Abstract--A model is developed in this paper which allows the growth rate of public sector productivity to be estimated without an explicit measure of sectoral output. In this model, communities are regarded as generalized households, and the goods and services provided by the community's government are interpreted as internally produced household goods. The model is then fitted to quarterly data from the U.S. National Income and Product Accounts, and the rate of productivity change is found to average -0.50% per year for the period 1959-1979.

AB  - In a paper recently published in the "American Economic Review," James Bennett and Thomas DiLorenzo (B-D) estimate a model designed to "test the hypothesis that conservatives, do in fact return a larger proportion of their staff allocations unspent than liberals. While they make no claim to be modeling efficient management behavior, they are sufficiently confident in their ability to control for what might be variously labeled as state effects, job effects, and political effects, to conclude that "senators who are conservative in making collective decisions are also fiscally conservative in spending public funds under their direct control" Their regressions indicate that several such factors are significantly related to the percentage of staff funds returned by each senator and hence may influence the estimated relationship between measures of political and fiscal conservatism. However, B-D do not effectively control for these variables. In this comment, authors suggest a natural alternative specification of their model which automatically controls for all state effects. If the B-D model were correct, the specification would produce parameter estimates statistically indistinguishable from those obtained by B-D.

AB  - This article discusses the legislative changes needed for the U.S. Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. (PBGC). It is a self-financing, wholly owned-government corporation that was established in 1974 by Title IV of ERISA. The termination insurance program was intended to guarantee a basic level of benefits in terminating private defined benefit pension plans and thus to protect the 38 million participants in such plans, including over 29 million in single-employer plans. Its current request is based on the premise that PBGC's claims should be "currently funded" rather than funded on a "pay-as-you-go" basis. This means that it should have on hand at any point in time assets which, together with the return that can be achieved on their investment, will be sufficient to pay all liabilities assumed at that time. It is the Administration's strongly held view that a premium increase alone is inadequate to protect the insurance system over the long term. Because an employer may terminate its plan at anytime, PBGC cannot prevent a termination which is timed to coincide with a period when thirty percent of an employer's networth falls drastically short of the unfunded guaranteed benefits in the plan.

AB  - The article discusses legislation that facilitate pension fund investments in residential mortgages in the United States. The Congress has before it two bills, H.R. 1179, the "Residential Mortgage Investment Act of 1983," and the similarly titled H.R. 4243. The Act sets standards of fiduciary conduct through both general and specific rules. The general rules, found in Sections 403 and 404, provide, among other things, that fiduciaries must act solely in the interest of participants and beneficiaries by discharging their duties in a prudent manner for the exclusive purpose of providing benefits to participants and beneficiaries and for paying reasonable administrative expenses. The first exemption, PTE 82-87, permits plans to make many mortgage commitments and loans on residential dwellings without being deemed to have entered into a prohibited transaction. The bill would go further, however, and allow any type of residential investment that was approved by an independent fiduciary. If residential mortgage investments are to be attractive to pension funds, this end should be accomplished because these investments are prudent and because they can successfully compete with other potential investments in the marketplace. Such a provision could undermine the confidence that responsible pension plan fiduciaries have in the integrity of mortgage markets.

AB  - The purpose of this paper is to analyse the short-run residential demand for fuel oil using household data from the 1972-73 Consumer Expenditure Survey (CES) of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). We adopt the conceptual framework common to analyses of the short-run demand for other energy sources such as electricity, natural gas and automobile fuels.[4] In this framework, the short run is defined as the period during which the stock of appliances using fuel is fixed. Hence, short-run responses are reflected in changes in the utilization rate of that stock. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This article examines worker participation in management and quality of working life in the U.S. The Bureau of Labor Statistics took note of the small but spreading phenomenon, attesting that participative arrangements were a subject, although a minor one, of discussion at the bargaining table. In 1942, 1946, and again in 1966, it published bulletins that in part referred to negotiated labor-management cooperative provisions. These were largely pledges of cooperation, although there also were a few committees negotiated. Neither form was widespread. But their inclusion in three different bulletins published over more than two decades was a tacit Bureau judgment that cooperative arrangements had taken sufficient hold to be discussed and studied. Joint labor-management committees concerned with production and technological change still were uncommon in 1980. The total of 81 committees that were found, however, was understated to an unknown degree because experience in smaller bargaining units and in nonunion situations could not be reflected in the Bureau's standard universe for study involving major collective bargaining agreements.

AB  - This article focuses on the public and congressional concern over the future of the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) in the U.S. This act was enacted in 1970 it was described as the most revolutionary piece of labor legislation since the National Labor Relations Act. The primary areas of debate center on the OSHA's regulation of toxic chemicals that are used in the workplace, that is, which chemicals need to be regulated; what level of exposure is to be allowed; and whether employers will be required to reduce worker exposure to these chemicals by engineering controls, which generally reduce the level of the chemical in the air, or by requiring employees to wear respirators. The OSHA has, in the past few years, embarked on a program to revise and update many of its safety standards. This effort has, in contrast to the OSHA activity in the health standards area, received little scrutiny from the public, press, the U.S. Congress, or organized labor. There should be more interest in the OSHA's activities in the safety standards area because protective, well written, and adequately supported safety standards are crucial to the safety of America's blue-collar work force, and improvement of these standards will not take place by itself.

AB  - The article investigates the contention that business tax policy has in fact failed to pick the winners in the high technology sectors in the United States. It suggests that accelerated depreciation allowances and investment tax credits have been the primary means through which the U.S. corporation income tax has been reduced over the years. The author argues that what is needed, instead, is a neutral tax policy that neither discriminates for nor against different industries nor between types of assets.

AB  - This article focuses on the regulation of Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. (PBGC) which protects lump-sum benefit values in the U.S. PBGC announced its intention to publish a revised regulation on Valuation of Plan Benefits in Nonmultiemployer Plans. The revised regulation will apply to all plan terminations where assets are sufficient to cover benefits guaranteed under Title IV of Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). The revised PBGC regulation provides that any rate utilized in determining lump-sum values cannot be in excess of the PBGC closeout rates as of the date of distribution, including reduced rates for deferred annuitants, or the rates specified in the plan for lump-sum distributions to individuals, whichever is more favorable to the participant. Benefit valuation is more favorable to the participant. Benefit valuation calculations are made on an individual-by-individual versus an overall plan basis. This effectively results in the establishment of a guaranteed floor value for each participant's benefit. The revised regulation on lump-sum benefit valuations represents a continuation of the PBGC's effort to properly balance the rights of plan sponsors while it fully protects the value of participants' accrued benefits, especially in cases involving excess asset reversions to the employer.

The importance of clear conceptualization is shown by examples from the Producer Price Index and other programs. The Consumer Price Index program has demonstrated initiatives in sampling and estimation methods. The problems and opportunities of a federal-state cooperative environment are discussed in the context of the survey of employment, hours, and earnings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The purpose of this paper was to investigate the impact of household characteristics and automobile stock characteristics on the purchase of new imported cars. The analysis was confined to households who purchased small cats in 1972, a year characterized by stable economic conditions and an adequate supply of small domestic automobiles, Logit analysis was used to estimate the impact of various explanatory variables. The results indicated that socioeconomic characteristics, with the exception of income, had a significant impact on the probability of purchasing an imported car. En addition the origin of disposed-of-stock proved to be a major explanatory variable. Households that disposed of foreign stock were more likely to purchase imports than other households.

AB  - This article discusses issues related to the accounting for the reversion of excess assets when a sponsor terminates a defined benefit pension plan in the U.S. Although this issue has existed in theory for a number of years, certainly since the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, from a practical standpoint, it has not received much attention because such transactions rarely occurred. Since August 1982, however, there has been a significant increase in the number and magnitude of terminations that resulted in reversions of assets to plan sponsors. The annuity rates currently available are abnormally high compared with underlying plan funding rate assumptions. Current law provides that a plan sponsor must offer annuities to all participants as a means of satisfying all accrued benefits on the date of termination except in the case of de minimis, or trifling, amounts. Neither type of termination transaction was proposed with any degree of frequency because of the government's opposition to the various potential abuses posed by these transactions. In fact, the U.S. Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. had never knowingly permitted a spin-off-termination transaction.  INSET: On the IRS's hit list, by Richard Morais.

AB  - When charitable contributions are tax deductible, the marginal price of charitable giving in other consumption foregone per dollar of contributions is generally less than unity. Further, if the income tax schedule is a progressive step function, the marginal price of contributions is generally a rising step function of the level of contributions. The problem of estimating a contributions demand function for individuals is therefore complicated by the spurious correlation between the level of contributions and the observed marginal price. We take this econometric problem into account in estimating a contributions demand function using data from the 1972-73 Consumer Expenditure Survey. After comparing our results with those of estimation techniques used by other authors, we provide evidence on the impacts of alternative tax policies on charitable giving using our estimates of the model parameters.

He stared at her blankly, questioningly, as if she might have the answer to some unspoken inquiry. She smiled, more out of habit than friendliness. "Sit down," she said. "I'm just looking at your file.". [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The article examines a consumption model using international consumption and the Bayesian Regression Analysis Program (BRAP). Three variants of M. Friedman's consumption model are analyzed using H.S. Houthakker's international consumption and income data and the Bayesian Regression Analysis Program (BRAP). The analysis is focused on evaluating Friedman's proportionality hypothesis. Various diagnostic procedures are discussed and applied using diffuse and informative prior distributions. The, importance of "diagnostic checking of models" or "specification analysis" has long been recognized both in Bayesian and non-Bayesian approaches. Clearly use of an inappropriate model can lead to incorrect inferences, that is, for example, poor estimates and predictions. In these and other works two cases are usually differentiated, namely, one in which the form of the departure from a standard model is assumed to be known and the other in which it is unknown. When the forms of possible departures from a standard model are unknown, diagnostic checks are required to determine the nature of these possible departures. Such departures can include incorrect functional form, outliers, heteroscedasticity, auto correlated disturbances, non-normality, etc. In the present paper, the researchers present a variety of Bayesian diagnostic checks that can be applied in analyses of regression models.

AB  - The prediction approach to finite population inference is developed for a general nonlinear model. An estimator of the finite population total and an estimator of its variance are derived, and the asymptotic properties of both are obtained when the random variables in the model are independent. The theory is applied to the problem of estimating the total number of units that have a specified characteristic. An empirical study is presented, which confirms that a nonlinear Bernoulli model is potentially useful for that problem but also illustrates difficulties that may be encountered. Comparisons with the ratio and linear regression estimators are also included. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The author reflects on the experience of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) with regards to administrative data. First, we must remember that we need to look at a broad array of data when we talk about administrative records, not just Internal Revenue Service and Social Security Administration data. Without administrative records, we would not have much of a program at the BLS. There are, of course, legal and policy issues--most of which, in my view, are far easier to deal with than the bureaucratic ones. We must remember that the qualify of statistical series may be affected adversely if we insist on the use of a single list--without taking into account the strengths and weaknesses of that list, the purpose of the survey, and the concept that it is designed to measure. Most BLS programs, but not all, should have samples developed with probabilities proportional to employment. What we need is access to all of the lists and research to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of them. But let there be no misunderstanding of our position. The BLS will oppose any legislation that forces use of the Census Bureau list. We believe that the Standard Statistical Establishment List should be made available, we believe that research should be undertaken to evaluate it. The challenge is often to find ways to make administrators, who use the data to implement programs, recognize the benefit to them of work done in statistical units.

AB  - This paper is about a holdup problem and the firm's attempt to stop it. The holdup potential comes from labor unions, and the firm's method of dealing with it is the perhaps unlikely vehicle of the pension plan. The theory appears to explain the long-standing puzzle that firms underfund their pension plans despite heavy tax consequences. By identifying the beneficiaries of federal pension insurance, the theory also leads to a natural explanation for the enactment in 1974 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act in the U.S.

AB  - Most pension-covered workers in the United States are covered solely or primarily by defined benefit plans. In these plans, workers are typically promised a pension that is proportional to their years of service in the firm and theft final wage. Depending upon how workers pay for it, the existence of a pension in the labor contract may play either an important role or no role at all in the worker-firm relationship. This paper addresses the issue, how workers pay for the cumulating pension benefit over their tenure cycle in the firm, and derives several economic implications for the worker-firm contract. While the theory itself has ambiguous implications, the data confirm the longstanding presumption that pensions offer strong incentives for the worker to complete the normal tenure cycle in the firm, not to quit early. But if this intuitive notion is accepted, it is shown that a perhaps less intuitive notion is also true, firms make workers long-term bondholders in the firm. The same flow of worker pension savings that tie workers to the firm are not accounted for in the pension trust fund. Pension plans are significantly underfunded in a true economic sense. This is a peculiar characteristic of the labor contract which raises several unanswered questions. The paper also shows that the nature of the pension contract can play an important role in determining the wage-service profile and the capitalized value of the firm.

AB  - This article examines how an increase in workers' compensation indemnity benefits affects injury rates when firms are experience-rated to varying degrees. The theoretical model shows that an increase in benefits has a smaller effect on injury rates in more highly experience-rated firms. Since an institutional characteristic of workers' compensation insurance is that larger firms tend to be more highly experience-rated, the empirically testable hypothesis is that there is a smaller relationship between benefits and injury rates in larger firms. The hypothesis is tested with injury rate regressions estimated by using data on 25 three-digit U.S. manufacturing industries for the years 1972-1979. Support for the hypothesis is found when the frequency of all injuries is the dependent variable, but the evidence for the hypothesis is less strong when the dependent variable is the frequency of lost-workday injuries.

AB  - The measurement of flows in the American labor market has challenged researchers for years. Several problems, including response variability, rotation group bias, and matching errors, hinder accurate measurement of the flows. The Bureau of the Census and the Bureau of Labor Statistics jointly sponsored a conference to examine these problems, present current research on solutions to the problems, and submit recommendations for improving the data. Recommendations include procedural changes in the Current Population Survey as well as new estimation techniques. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The article examines the applicability of random effects models and the consequences of inappropriately using ordinary least squares (OLS) estimation. When explanatory variable data in a regression model are drawn from a population with grouped structure, the regression errors are often correlated within groups. Error component and random coefficient regression models are considered as models of the intraclass correlation. This paper analyzes several empirical examples to investigate the applicability of random effects models and the consequences of inappropriately using OLS estimation in the presence of random group effects. The principal findings are that the assumption of independent errors is usually incorrect and the unadjusted OLS standard errors often have a substantial downward bias, suggesting a considerable danger of spurious regression. As it is well known, the use of OLS when disturbances are correlated results in inefficient coefficient estimation and biased standard errors.

AB  - Quit rates in the federal government are abnormally low. Some economists and the federal government itself have taken this to mean that federal wages are too high. This paper provides an alternative explanation. It shows that the timing of compensation across a career as well as its level affect quit rates. Pensions, in particular, impose large penalties on workers who quit early. And the portion of federal pay in the form of pensions is very high. This feature of the federal pay structure may explain its abnormally low quit rate. As a general proposition, quit rates are poor indices for judging pay adequacy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The diagnostic tools examined in this article are applicable to regressions estimated with panel data or cross-sectional data drawn from a population with grouped structure. The diagnostic tools considered include (a) tests for the existence of group effects under both fixed and random effects models, (b) checks for outlying groups, and (c) specification tests for comparing the fixed and random effects models. A group-specific counterpart to the studentized residual is introduced. The methods are illustrated using a hedonic housing price regression. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The article examines the U.S. Court of the Fifth Circuit's ruling in 'Brown & Root v. Donovan,' which restricted the scope of protection for whistleblowers in the nuclear power industry. In Brown & Root the Fifth Circuit expressly disagreed with the Ninth Circuit's conclusion in Mackowiak v. University Nuclear System Inc. that the filing of internal quality control reports with one's employer is a protected activity under Section 5851 of the Energy Reorganization Act (ERA). The Fifth Circuit reached its conclusion because it found the plain meaning of the statute and its legislative history both showed the intention of the U.S. Congress to limit protection to employees who assist or participate in some kind of formal proceeding under the Act. The Fifth Circuit was apparently concerned that an employee who simply has a disagreement with an employer and is disciplined for insubordination could clothe himself in the protection of the ERA and employers would loose their ability to manage their own workplaces. But this problem of overinclusive interpretation is not unique to this employee protection provision.

AB  - This paper uses computable general equilibrium models to demonstrate that partial-equilibrium welfare measures can offer reasonable approximations of the true welfare changes for large exogenous changes. With consistency in the size and direction of the indirect price effects associated with large shocks, single-sector partial-equilibrium measures will exhibit small errors. Otherwise the errors can be substantial and difficult to sign. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Pension economics has emerged as a separate literature over the past decade. Some of the early pension work was devoted to financial issues, including implications of pensions for savings rates and portfolio allocation. Most new developments, however, have stemmed from research surrounding labor markets. This research has led to an implicit contract theory of pensions, a theory that has pensions playing a more complicated role in worker-firm relation than heretofore realized. The theory explains much of economic behavior in labor markets, and bridges a gap between labor and financial literatures. This essay describes the genesis for these ideas and traces some of the most important research results in the area. An equal amount of space is devoted to a consideration of likely directions for future research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Generalized variance functions (GVF's) are used in a number of sample surveys as a convenient method of publishing sampling errors. The method consists of estimating the relative variance (relvariance) of an estimator T of a total T by using a model with the form a + b/T. Using the prediction approach to finite population sampling, some asymptotic theory is presented for estimators of totals that are linear combinations of sample cluster means from stratified, two-stage cluster samples. One choice of GVF estimator is shown to be consistent under a particular class of prediction models. The theory is illustrated by an empirical study in which two-stage stratified samples are selected from a population of households.  The prediction model is one in which units within a stratum have a common mean and variance, units in the same cluster are correlated but units in different clusters are not, and in which the common variance is a quadratic function of the common mean in a stratum. Bernoulli and Poisson random variables, for example, have the mean-to-variance relationship studied here. Under the model the approximate prediction-relvariance of T has the form a + b/T, and the parameters a and b can be estimated by least squares. The theory leads to guidelines for selecting a set of survey variables to use in estimating a and b.  The theory was tested in a simulation study using household data collected in the U.S. Current Population Survey. Totals of binary variables derived from labor force and demographic data were estimated in 2,000 stratified two-stage samples. Using 45 variables, I estimated GVF's of the form a + b/T and cT[sup d], which has been suggested elsewhere in the literature, from each sample and summarized results over all samples. The results illustrate that some GVF's can, for many variables, produce unbiased estimators of... [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The prediction properties of the stratified expansion estimator, the separate and combined ratio estimators, and the separate and combined regression estimators are studied under a model appropriate to a population stratified on a size variable. Several estimators of variance for each total estimator are considered, including standard ones from probability sampling theory, alternative choices derived from a superpopulation model, and the jackknife. The theory is tested in an empirical study using a real population. Earlier studies of the ratio and regression estimators under simple random sampling plans have illustrated that conditional properties of those estimators and of the linearization variance estimators that are often used with them can be much different and less desirable than unconditional properties. Whether similar results hold for stratified samples and estimators has been the subject of some debate. This article illustrates both theoretically and empirically that the use of stratification and reasonably large samples is not necessarily sufficient to produce reliable inferences. Over all stratified samples, estimators may be unbiased and confidence intervals may have nominal coverage probabilities, but conditional on certain sample characteristics this may not be true. To illustrate the prediction theory for the stratified expansion estimator, the combined ratio estimator, and the combined regression estimator, a simulation study was conducted using a population of iron and steel foundries. The variable y, whose population total was estimated, was employment in a particular month, and the auxiliary variable x was the employment one year earlier for each establishment. The population was divided into five size strata based on the auxiliary, and two sets of 2,000 stratified simple random... [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The Heckscher-Ohlin-Vanek model predicts relationships among industry input requirements, country resource supplies, and international trade in commodities. These relationships are tested using data on twelve resources, and the trade of twenty-seven countries in 1967. The Heckscher-Ohlin propositions that trade reveals gross and relative factor abundance are not supported by these data. The Heckscher-Ohlin-Vanek equations are also rejected in favor of weaker models that allow technological differences and measurement errors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This article reports on the status of the Federal Government Productivity Improvement Program (PIP) which was established in February 1986, 18 months after its initiation and outlines the future agenda, as of December 1987. The productivity effort is agency-driven with the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) providing leadership, oversight and coordination. The participating agencies establish supporting structures that facilitate productivity improvement within the operating program areas. Each year the agencies select a number of program functions for inclusion in the program and provide productivity data relating to each function to OMB. Program functions are mission-related program activities that produce products or services for the public, and that are sufficiently repetitive that they can be measured. A major emphasis of the PIP is encouraging every participating agency to develop the management support structures necessary to facilitate productivity improvement. This is in recognition of the prominent place given to productivity management in both the productivity literature and in the experience of private sector companies and public sector organizations that have achieved long-term productivity gains.

AB  - Estimators of chain and fixed-base Laspeyres price indexes are studied using the prediction approach to finite population sampling. The estimators include some that are based on those used in several U.S. government index programs and others derived from prediction models. Biases and variances of the estimators are studied for a case in which the reference period index weights are unknown for nonsample items. Under a model for a one-period price change in which items have common within-stratum means, unbiased estimators can be constructed, but under a more general regression model, special sample balance conditions are needed for unbiasedness of those estimators. The theory for the estimators of fixed-base indexes is illustrated in an empirical study using a population of items priced for the U.S. Consumer Price Index. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Although there has been continuing job growth in the US service sector there is growing concern over the 'quality' of these jobs. This article examines the 'quality of jobs' issue. Two approaches are employed: the industry approach and the earnings approach. Results show that the job shift to services has not adversely affected women from an earnings standpoint. However, there is some evidence that men have been adversely affected. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - For more than 40 years, the US government has produced a monthly estimate of unemployment based on an activity: looking for a job. The measurement comes from the Current Population Survey which will be revised after the 1990 census. The survey provides a very rich body of demographic information, and the challenge of the 1990's is to redesign it as a more useful tool of research.

AB  - Currently there are 3.7 workers supporting each recipient of benefits from the Social Security Old-Age and Survivors Insurance (OASI) program. By 2030, when the last of the baby-boom generation reaches retirement age, this ratio is expected to fall to 2.2 workers per beneficiary. In particular, many members of the baby-boom generation are concerned about the level of Social Security benefits they will receive when they retire. The Social Security Administration (SSA) has examined this issue. Using an actuarial approach, the SSA concludes that the system, as it is currently structured, is in actuarial balance and that baby boomers can expect to receive retirement benefits that are generous by today's standards. However, a major weakness of the SSA approach is that it ignores political forces and the potential of these forces on benefit levels. This paper addresses this weakness by drawing upon voting and special-interest group models to develop an economic, as opposed to an actuarial, approach for predicting OASI benefits.

AB  - Using two sets of U. S. Census data and information from the U. S. Employment Service, this study analyzes the effects of mechanization on skill requirements of blue collar jobs, assessing changes in the distribution of employment in these jobs by race and gender. The results are discussed in the context of high and low levels of mechanization change. Although there was a tendency for mechanization to lower the skill requirements of production work, changes among labor force subgroups are found to differ substantially. Black males increased in high skill jobs regardless of whether these jobs were in industries undergoing high or low rates of mechanization. Females and white nudes tended to increase more sharply in low skill work, especially in the industries which had high rates of mechanization. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - I use hedonic regression methods to estimate average rental housing physical depreciation for areas of the United States. I estimate downward quality bias of the U.S. consumer price index (CPI) caused by rental-housing physical depreciation, and I develop methods to correct the CPI for such aging bias. My physical depreciation estimates imply that recent percentage changes in the U.S. CPI shelter-cost indexes are downward biased by .3 to .4 annually. Such bias is nonnegligible because recent annual changes in the CPI shelter-cost indexes have ranged between 3.5% and 6.8% for various regions. My results also imply that rent-controlled housing has depreciated faster than other rental housing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This article examines the major elements that impacted the enactment of U.S. the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (FLSA). It is an historical study that attempts to illuminate the feelings, attitudes, and conditions related to the initiation and administration of the law. The study focuses primarily on the minimum wage component of the FLSA, even though the child labor and work hours provisions are also very important. It was the minimum wage requirements that generated passions, frustrations, and hopes as pressure mounted for the resolution of several important labor problems. It is the minimum wage provisions of the FLSA that still arouse these feelings today. This study will focus on the federal program. This article will be organized as follows. First, a brief description of the early historical precedents will be provided. Second, the initial development of the state programs will be outlined. Third, the initial legal challenges will be discussed. Fourth, the major steps in the enactment of the FLSA will be described. Fifth, the major provisions of the original FLSA will be outlined. Sixth, summary measures of impact will be described. Finally, a brief summary and conclusion will be provided.

AB  - In late 1981 Federal workplace safety officers, and those of several states, began on-site checks of plants' injury records to determine which establishments to inspect. Critics claim incentives for underreporting were thus created, and that published injury rates could be biased downward. Because the records-check procedure is not applied in all states or industries, this research (using four different statistical models) compares pre- to post-1981 changes in reported injury rates across states and industries. Data on 3059 uninspected plants suggests a 5-14% decline (cet. par.) in reported rates among plants potentially subject to the records-check procedure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - If information is costly to collect and implement, then it is efficient for trades by informed investors to occur at prices sufficiently different from full-information prices to compensate them for the cost of becoming informed. This notion is tested by evaluating investment performance in the mutual fund industry over a 20-year period. The study finds evidence that is consistent with optimal trading in efficient markets. Risk-adjusted returns in the mutual fund industry, net of fees and expenses, are comparable to returns available in index funds; and portfolio turnover and management fees are unrelated to fund performance.

AB  - The article provides information on the alternative tests of the error component model. It informs that the error components regression model is now widely applied in econometrics and statistics. To econometricians, the model is most familiar from the literature on pooling time-series and cross-section data. Other important applications include regression analyses of data drawn from two-stage or cluster surveys, studies of the economic achievement of siblings, and analyses of data drawn from populations with grouped structure (i.e., populations containing units that can be grouped by geographical location, industry, occupation, etc.) For the latter types of data, ordinary least squares (OLS) are still commonly used in applications. If the errors actually follow an error components specification, then use of OLS can lead to seriously biased standard errors and test statistics. It is therefore important to test for the presence of error components. Given the potentially high costs of incorrectly excluding the component from the model, an error components test should have high power. In addition, if a test is to gain acceptance from practitioners, the test should be computed easily.

AB  - Publication of indexes measuring changes in prices of retail, wholesale, export, and import items is an important part of many governmental statistics programs. One form of price index that is often used is the fixed-base Laspeyres, in which a fixed market basket of goods is priced over time. This article introduces a new class of multiplicative estimators of Laspeyres indexes. The optimum within the class is derived for long-term price change and compared with two other members of the class when used for estimating both long-term and short-term change. Theoretical properties are derived under a model in which long-term relative price changes for individual items have common within-stratum means and are correlated over time. Theory for long-term and short-term change estimators is tested in a simulation study in which a large number of stratified probability samples is selected from a population extracted from items priced for the U.S. consumer price index.

AB  - The article presents the author's comments on substitution between production, labor and other inputs in unionized and nonunionized manufacturing. Economists Richard B. Freeman and James L. Medoff presented sets of estimates for the U.S. manufacturing of the factor share, the constant output elasticity of demand, and the elasticity of substitution of economist R.G.D. Allen's type between unionized and nonunionized production workers and other inputs. Inherent in Allen's partial elasticities of substitution, there is certain zero-sum identity relating factor share and elasticity of substitution. A check on Freeman and Medoff's estimates shows that theirs failed to meet this prior zero-sum identity. Consequences of a deviation from the zero-sum identity cannot be ignored for apparent reasons. Perhaps one might argue that the zero-sum identity can only be met statistically, not numerically, so that some kind of significance test should be performed before expressing concerns on any deviations from the zero-sum identity as suggested to this note by one anonymous referee.

AB  - The Consumer Expenditure (CE) Survey data are a collection of detailed consumer expenditures, income, and consumer unit characteristics. The data set is a rich source of information available to researchers conducting economic analysis. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the projects being undertaken at the Bureau of Labor Statistics in which these data are being utilized and to suggest directions for future research. The paper focuses primarily on the estimation of aggregate statistics, index numer reseach, econometric modeling, and survey research methodology. Topics addressed include: weighting, moving-weight price indexes, price indexes for demographic subgroups, interarea price indexes, tax and price indexes, demand analysis, statistical and econometric techniques, the econometrics of panel data, income and consumption distributions, cognitive research, composite estimation, non-normal distribution testing, and data imputation. Noted are changes in the survey methodology, which were introduced with the Continuing Consumer Expenditure Survey, and topics, within statistical methods, which focus on improving the measurement of CE variables.

AB  - Beginning with January of 1987, the consumer price indexes (CPI's) have been seasonally adjusted by the X-11 autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) procedure. This modification of the X-11 procedure was introduced following an empirical investigation into three aspects of seasonal adjustment methodology as applied to several CPI series--the choice of ARIMA models to fit and forecast those series, the improvements made by the ARIMA modification in terms of revision and smoothness of the seasonally adjusted series, and the effect on the quality of seasonal adjustment and the identifiability of seasonality due to the ARIMA modification. This article reports the results of that investigation. In addition, a brief account is given of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics procedures relating to the projected seasonal factors, seasonally adjusted aggregate series, and the revisions of the seasonally adjusted series.

AB  - Focusing on a specific government agency, the Internal Revenue Service, and using publicly available data for the years 1956-1982, this article investigates two issues. First, because government agencies produce services which, in general, are not sold in markets, the appropriate measure and weighting of outputs is not obvious. Thus, it is of interest to know how sensitive an index of labor productivity is to the way in which output is measured. Second, in computing labor productivity, an index number formula must be selected. Dispersion among the index numbers is not uncommon, making the choice among formulas an important issue. Results indicate that the choice of both the output measure and index formula are important. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - In a recent paper, economist Richard Steinberg examines the effects upon private donations of federal and local government spending for a public good. When discussing the consequences of changes in local spending, he mis-specifies the demand function for donations. This error enables one to conclude from his model that it is a priori impossible for the government to crowd out private donations one-for-one. Such a conclusion violates intuition because one-for-one crowding out should be at least theoretically possible. And Steinberg's model-when corrected-does allow donations to fall as much as the government increases its spending. One can further conclude from the model presented in the body of Steinberg's paper that the structure of the government's tax policy has no effect on the level of crowding out. The corrected model implies that the government can influence changes in private donations that are caused by increased government spending. The degree of control depends upon the size of the donors' income effects and upon the ability of the government to allocate the extra tax burden.

AB  - Griliches recently observed that the rise in energy and materials prices and the possible exhaustion of the sources of technological progress are the main candidate explanations of the productivity slowdown. The present paper examines these possibilities by studying information on the rate of return to R and D, where the hypothesis of technological exhaustion is most likely to appear. Annual data are used to decipher differences in timing. The evidence does not support technological exhaustion, but instead indicates that even the R and D facet of productivity growth was thrown off by macroeconomic events associated with the oil shocks. These findings support the energy price-macroeconomic disturbance diagnosis of the productivity slowdown. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The article describes win-win bargaining, a new approach to collective bargaining in the United States. The approach comprises a set of principles, assumptions, steps and techniques that can be used by bargaining teams to gain positive results for both parties. The principles of the win-win bargaining approach are as follows: it focuses on issues and interests of both parties, it creates options to satisfy mutual and separate interests and it evaluates options with objective standards. The win-win bargaining approach includes the following steps: prepare for bargaining, develop options on one issue, create acceptable standards, test options against standards and achieve a positive result or settlement.

AB  - The growth of new jobs slowed in 1989 as compared with 1988, but the unemployment rate changed little. Manufacturing industries actually lost workers, while in most other industries the rate of increase slowed. There were gains in the number of adult workers, especially women and Hispanics. Since 1989 was the seventh year of an economic expansion, a slowdown was to be expected.

AB  - Although nursing homes do not have the highest rates of workplace injuries and illnesses, their accident rate has greatly increased in recent years. Most of the loss of work time subsequent has to do with strains and sprains resulting from patient handling. These injuries are largely experienced by nursing aides in an occupation characterized by high turnover and poor training.

AB  - The federal-private wage differential is reexamined with recent data. Using specifications similar to those used in three previous studies, I find that the federal-private wage differential has narrowed since the 1974-79 period analyzed in those studies, in addition, I discover that wage differentials based on specifications used in the literature are biased upward because the previous studies did not control for detailed occupational and locational characteristics of workers. Corrected point estimates of the wage gap are much smaller than previous estimates in the literature. Differences in the gap across demographic groups, occupations, and locations are also discussed.

AB  - The article discusses the provisions of the 1988 Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act which deal with worker rights in the U.S. Regarding worker rights, the act contains provisions in three areas: importance of worker rights as an objective of trade policy; responsibilities of the executive branch in reporting on the worker rights situation abroad; and denial of internationally recognized worker rights as an unfair trade practice. Through the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act, the Congress has continued to advance the concept of worker rights in trade legislation.

AB  - Abstract--Many economic researchers have attempted to measure the effect of aggregate market or public policy variables on micro units by merging aggregate data with micro observations by industry, occupation, or geographical location, then using multiple regression or similar statistical models to measure the effect of the aggregate variable on the micro units. The methods are usually based upon the assumption of independent disturbances, which is typically not appropriate for data from populations with grouped structure. Incorrectly using ordinary least squares can lead to standard errors that are seriously biased downward. This note illustrates the danger of spurious regression from this kind of misspecification, using as an example a wage regression, estimated on data for individual workers that includes in the specification aggregate regressors for characteristics of geographical states.

AB  - Studies wages in 15 industries that employ both union and nonunion workers. Since 1983, the wage differential, which has historically favored union workers, has been narrowing. Benefits tend to make up a larger percentage of employment cost for union workers than for nonunion, and these still favor union workers. There is no dollar estimate as to the size of the differential.

This article analyzes labor flows from Cuba to Eastern Europe (East Germany, Czechoslovakia, and Hungary) and to the Soviet Union during the 1980's; it also examines the phenomenon of Soviet assembly operations on the island. The analysis suggests that these labor flows were largely motivated by factors similar to those that drive labor migration in the West - notably labor complementarities arising from differential rates of labor force growth and the tendency among native workers to avoid certain types of jobs.

AB  - The authors use IRS data to compare the composition, risk, and rate of return to union pension investments with those of nonunion pension funds. They find almost no differences between single-employer union and single-employer nonunion funds. Collectively bargained, multi-employer funds, however, held less risky portfolios than either union or nonunion single-employer funds. Multi-employer funds averaged a lower risk-adjusted rate of return for 1977-80, but performed as well as nonunion investments from 1981 to 1986. Thus, little evidence is found that "social investing," most likely to occur in multi-employer funds, has increased the risk or consistently reduced the returns of union pension funds.

N2  - This study investigates why, after 15 years of virtual stability, U.S. labor force participation rates for men aged 55 to 64 fell by approximately 20 percent from 1970 through 1986. The author's analysis of rule changes in the social security system and pension plans suggests that part of this reduction was caused by an increase in social security benefits by almost 50 percent during the 1970s (half of which is not reflected in legislation), which worked to create unexpected wealth effects similar to those that characterized the system during the early 1950s; but an equally important cause was a widespread change in private pension plan rules toward encouraging earlier retirement. These conclusions challenge the common notion that earlier retirement is largely a supply-side phenomenon.

Women accounted for the bulk of the increase in moonlighting. Multiple jobholding is likely one reason for the employment differences between the Bureau of Labor Statistics' household surveys and its Current Employment Statistics programs.

This article is based on a log-gap earnings statistic methodology that separates income data according to wage rate and hours.

During the 1980's, they tended to lower the unemployment rate because they had become mature workers. This trend should continue during the 1990's.

AB  - At the start of the 1980's, reducing inflation was the major economic problem facing policymakers. During the 1980's, the pace of inflation largely decelerated although there were some upward price movements after 1986. This article deals with both the amount and composition of price movements and summarizes these movements year by year. Price movements in the 1990's are not likely to deviate much from the movements of the 1980's.

AB  - The 1980's began with two recessions in three years and ended with the longest peacetime expansion in history. During the decade, 6% of employment was transferred from the goods-producing industries to the service-producing industries. Outside of the recession years employment in the goods-producing industries held stable but their percentage of total employment declined. Employment in eating and drinking places, business services, and health services were among the most rapid growth industries.

AB  - Despite the imminent danger, working at heights without adequate fall protection is fairly commonplace in the construction industry in general and in the roofing and sheet metal work industries in particular. In 1988, there were almost 20 occupational injuries per 100 full-time workers in roofing and sheet metal (construction average was 15), more that double that for private industry as a whole. Most of the occupational accidents in this industry resulted from falls.

AB  - This article develops a new approach for testing aggregation restrictions in estimated production-function and cost-function models. Rather than using the well-known separability conditions for the existence of an aggregate, this approach focuses on testing whether a particular aggregate is valid and develops empirically testable necessary and sufficient conditions for the validity of some known aggregation scheme. An empirical section examines the power of this test in the context of a simple production-function model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Examined the psychological properties of commercial memory aids (CMAs). CMAs are products whose primary purpose is either to facilitate memory performance (a memory prosthetic), correct memory errors (a memory-failure corrective device), or perform a memory task (a memory-task robot). An analysis of 74 kinds of CMAs indicates that they help memory in a specific manner, i.e. by assisting performance of a particular task which arises in a certain context and which involves a certain type of content. When 27 university students were asked to indicate the 4 CMAs they found most useful, 17 found the calendar to be the most effective. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)

Olin Corporation," is one of the first cases to deal with fetal protection policies. In the later case of "Hayes v. Shelby Memorial Hospital," the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals found that a hospital violated the Pregnancy Discrimination Act. protection policy. In "Oil, Chemical & Atomic Workers International Union v. American Cyanamid Company," a fetal protection policy within the context of the Occupational Safety and Health Act was examined. The article highlights other developments in fetal protection policies.

AB  - To investigate practice effects in the retrieval of categoric examples from semantic memory, 45 undergraduates experienced 15 trials each in which they were presented with (1) a different category on each trial (general practice), (2) repeated trials for each of 3 categories (blocked practice), or (3) a single category across all trials (specific practice). A day later Ss performed a transfer task involving trials with a new category. Recall increased substantially for specific and blocked practice. With each repeated trial, Ss were able to recall most items from previous trials and to retrieve one or more additional words. General practice produced only a small effect related to a general retrieval skill. (German abstract) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)

AB  - In order to explain two-way trade, the standard H-O model has recently been modified by assuming a market structure with monopolistic competition. The factors that affect the volume of total trade and its intra-industry component have been previously specified. This paper attempts to generalize these results to the N-good, M-country case. Although endowment similarity increases the intra-industry component in the 2 × 2 case, this proposition does not strictly hold for bilateral trade in the N x M case. Similarity of relative income size (GNP) does increase intra-industry trade in the 2 × 2 case, but does not increase the intra-industry share as assumed by several authors. In the N x M case, similarity of relative income size does not affect the bilateral volume of intra-industry trade nor its intra-industry share. This article thus shows that ceteris paribus comparative static changes in a 2country model are not equivalent to changes in that variable across a crosssection of a multicountry model.

AB  - The author analyzes data on 6,416 persons in 109 firms to determine whether the length of these workers' tenure was positively related either to wage tilt--the payment of below-market wages in the early years of the worker's employment with a firm and above-market wages in the later years--or to the presence of defined benefit pension plans. Contrary to the popular (but little-tested) hypothesis that wage tilt is important in inducing workers to make long-term commitments to the firm, the results show that wage tilt had no significant effect on tenure, except indirectly through its effect on pension quit costs. In contrast, pensions increased tenure in the firm, on average, by more than 20%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Examines characteristics of the eating and drinking places industry and analyzes its injury and illness record in detail. It is a high-impact industry in that it generates a much higher than normal number of illnesses and accidents. This is partly attributable to the fact that the industry employs a much larger number of young and inexperienced workers than does the economy as a whole. Sprains and strains are the most common cases.

AB  - Multifactor productivity relates output to the combined inputs of labor, capital, and intermediate purchases. The farm and garden machinery industry consists of farm equipment (64%) and lawn and garden equipment (36%). Between 1958 and 1973 output per hour grew 2.4% per year but declined by 0.3% after 1973. Demand for farm equipment has declined but that for lawn and garden equipment has held stable. Recently, the major investments in the industry have been in computers and robotics.

N2  - Most econometric applications entail uncertainty in the choice of model. An example is the possible use of hedonic regressions for quality adjustment of price index numbers for radio services. Economic theory suggests that a hedonic regression specification ought to include price-determining characteristics of a good as regressors, but gives no guidance as to which characteristics are likely to be price determining. In this paper the author argues that Bayesian techniques provide a natural methodology for both choosing a best model and combining inferences across models to better reflect and measure the uncertainty faced by the data analyst. Empirical analysis of hedonic regressions for radio advertising prices is used to illustrate the techniques.

N2  - After appreciating for much of the first part of the decade, the U.S. dollar turned around and, in March of 1985, began a steady course of depreciation against the currencies of several of the nation's leading trade partners. The 35.8 percent fall in the dollar's trade-weighted value between March 1985 and the end of 1990 had a substantive impact on both price movements and trade volumes of U.S. imports and exports. One sector of the U.S. economy that clearly demonstrated these effects was the machinery and transport equipment industries, the largest category of the nation's international trade.

N2  - A definition of a high-technology industry is preferred based on the percentage of employment in research and development within a given industry, as defined by the three-digit standard industrial classification. Comparative analyses of data regionally and by state reveal where the highest concentrations of employment in high-technology industries, as defined, are. Although the data vary greatly by state, little dispersion is evident on a regional basis. A strong relationship is established between higher pay and the degree of high technology in an industry. Projections of current trends indicate little employment growth for high-technology industries by the year 2000.

N2  - The consumer price index allows only intertemporal price comparisons. Recent Bureau of Labor Statistics' research, however, uses the price data collected for the CPI to construct an experimental interarea price index for food at home. Because the CPI sample comprises different goods in different outlets and cities, a hedonic regression technique is used to derive intercity price differentials. These differentials provide the basis for a multilateral interarea price index for food at home for the forty-four geographic areas that have published CPI series. The new index is then compared to those constructed from data based on the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Family Budget Program in 1972.

AB  - This article discusses the impact of the Immigration Act of 1990 on employment-based immigration in the U.S. That law increases overall immigration by approximately 35 percent, while more than doubling employment-based immigration from 54,000 to 120,000 visas, and reconfiguring the educational and skill qualifications required of these immigrants. The framework of the debate that led to the bill's enactment was the present immigration system's alleged unresponsiveness to U.S. employers' needs for foreign workers with human capital characteristics otherwise unavailable at the time and place needed in the country. In particular, how best to use immigration policy to enhance the competitiveness of U.S. businesses in the global marketplace. Reliance on immigration to rectify projected labor-market imbalances proceeds from two sets of assumptions. First, both the demand and the supply sides of the labor market equation will either remain essentially constant or change in a specific and predictable way. Second, government intervention in the labor market is either useful or appropriate. Crafting policy responses to immigration without a prior attempt to assess human resource needs is both shortsighted and dangerous. Few would argue with the simple proposition that a successful immigration policy should be guided by the results of such an assessment and attempt to respond to identifiable skill deficits.

N2  - This article uses data from the 1984 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth to examine the incidence of on-the-job drug use among young workers in the United States. It is found that drug use is higher among men than women, among whites than minorities, and among workers ages nineteen to twenty-three than those ages twenty-four to twenty-seven. Blue-collar workers have higher rates of drug use than white-collar workers. Also, drug use is most common among young workers in the entertainment/recreation and construction industries, and least common among those in professional services and public administration industries.

N2  - This article offers a comprehensive look at the percent of preretirement income provided by defined benefit pension plans. The data reveal significant variations in benefits based on the age, length of service, and salary of plan participants. For those workers age sixty-two and older, Social Security payments are also figured into the calculations to afford a comprehensive look at retirement income. In addition, survivor pension benefits are calculated, revealing in many cases the very low percent of a former spouse's income available to a widow or widower. In total, the data may be viewed as a benchmark for comparing individual benefit plans.

AB  - We develop a method for computing output shadow prices when total cost and input prices are exogenous, using the indirect output distance function of Shephard (1974). We show that indirect distance function shadow price imputations for output prices are the same to a proportional constant as marginal cost imputations. We motivate our results by relating them to the problem of valuing the output of nonprofit institutions, to some measurement issues for noncompetitive industries, and to a problem of imputing sales of the commercial banking industry to consuming sectors of the economy in the national income accounts.

AB  - This article focuses on the impact of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (OBRA) for defined benefit plans in the U.S. It establishes new full funding limits for defined benefit plans. The effect of the new law is akin to the application of an annual excise tax on some defined benefit plans, the size of which depends on the age distribution of its participants. The worker can still obtain full consumption tax treatment of implicit pension savings by using defined contribution plans. But the tax discourages the use of defined benefit plans which are essentially deferred wages schemes subject to consumption tax treatment. Thus, the OBRA excise tax imposes a production inefficiency.

AB  - The authors examine the relationship between the receipt of employer-provided training and the characteristics of workers and jobs using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of the High School Class of 1972 and the Dictionary of Occupational Titles. They find that the intensity of training and the duration of training were negatively related; the incidence of training was slightly higher among women than among men, but the amount of training was higher among men; blacks received somewhat more training than whites; post-secondary education had a strong positive relationship with training; and aptitude had a positive effect on training. Training does not appear to have been affected by high school curriculum or by observable and unobservable factors specific to the individual's high school. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Estimation of price indexes in the United States is generally based on complex rotating panel surveys. The sample for the Consumer Price Index, for example, is selected in three stages--geographic areas, establishments, and individual items--with 20% of the sample being replaced by rotation each year. At each period, a time series of data is available for use in estimation. This article examines how to best combine data for estimation of long-term and short-term changes and how to estimate the variances of the index estimators in the context of two-stage sampling. I extend the class of estimators, introduced by Valliant and Miller, of Laspeyres indexes formed using sample data collected from the current period back to a previous base period. Linearization estimators of variance for indexes of long-term and short-term change are derived. The theory is supported by an empirical simulation study using two-stage sampling of establishments and items from a population derived from U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data.

AB  - A longitudinal establishment data set is used to assess the effect of changes in workers' compensation benefits on the incidence of lost-workday injury and illness cases in manufacturing for the years 1979-84. Higher benefits are found generally to increase lost-workday cases. However, consistent with theory, the benefit effect is smaller in larger, more highly experience-rated establishments. After initial estimates are obtained using ordinary and weighted least squares, several count data models are explored that are more appropriate for the integer injury and illness counts in the data. The results are consistent across the specifications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This article comments on the efforts of the U.S. Department of Labor to promote the status of women and minority employees in the country.  The term glass ceiling refers to the invisible barriers, real or perceived, which appear to stymie advancement opportunities for minorities and women. A couple of years ago, the Department of Labor launched its Glass Ceiling Initiative to examine this issue. As part of a pilot study of nine corporate work forces, the agency investigated how mid- and upper-management positions are filled in the corporate sector, and whether minorities and women are being considered for these positions. Specifically, we looked at developmental programs, training, rotational assignments, and reward structures, all of which serve as indicators of upward mobility in the sector. This Initiative has everything to do with access and equal opportunity, coupled with the abilities of an individual, hard work, and desire. There are individuals from all groups, including women and minorities, who may not be willing to engage in the personal sacrifices, long hours, and other trade-offs required to reach those upper levels. Thus, on August 8, 1991, Secretary of Labor Lynn Martin released the results of the study entitled Report on the Glass Ceiling Initiative.

N2  - Every other year, the Bureau of Labor Statistics develops three alternative projections of the U.S. economy: low growth, medium growth, and high growth. The November 1991 Review presents the latest set, covering the 1900-2005 period. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects the labor force by demographic categories, growth in real gross national product and by major demand categories, changes in employment and output by industry, and changes in employment by occupation. Each topic is discussed in separate articles. This article summarizes the major findings from each topic and highlights some important implications.

N2  - As with prior aggregate economic projections, the 1990-2005 projections assume three alternative growth paths: low, moderate, and high. By 2005, GNP is expected to range between $5.2 trillion and $6.4 trillion (in 1982 dollars). This translates to an average annual rate of growth for real GNP of 1.5 percent in the low-growth alternative, 2.3 percent in the moderate-growth, and 2.9 percent in the high-growth alternative over the 1990-2005 period, contrasting with a historical rate of GNP growth of 2.9 percent between 1975 and 1990.

By 2005, black in the labor force are projected to increase 32 percent over their 1990 numbers, Asians and others are projected to increase by 74 percent, and Hispanics are projected to show a 75-percent increase. Labor force participation is projected to increase at a slower rate than during 1975-90, reflecting the aging of the population and lower increases in the participation of women. The Bureau projects that between 1990 and 2005, 55.8 million people will enter and 29.9 million people will leave the labor force.

Occupations that require higher levels of education or training generally are projected to grow faster than those requiring less formal education or training, including many detailed occupations in the managerial, professional, and technical worker groups. Of the remaining occupational groups, only service workers are expected to increase significantly faster than the average for all occupations. Most detailed occupations that are projected to grow rapidly are health- or computer-related. More than half of the fastest declining occupations are concentrated in the manufacturing sector.

AB  - The purpose of this research was to explore economic dimensions of a consumer gift-giving model. Two dimensions of extrahousehold gift expenditures were modeled: the probability of giving and the expected value of the corresponding expenditures. Data were from 4,139 households in the Quarterly Interview component of the 1984-1985 U.S. Continuing Consumer Expenditure Survey. The results demonstrated that both the probability of giving and the value of annual expenditures for gifts given outside the consumer unit are related to total expenditures (a proxy for income), family size, life-cycle stage, and education. In addition, the probability of gift giving is related to the number of female adults, ethnicity, and urbanization, and the value of gift expenditures is related to region. Extrahousehold gift expenditures appear to be a luxury--as income increases, gift expenditures increase more rapidly. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - The industry that forms heavy metal supports for buildings and other structures has one of the highest rates of occupational injuries and illnesses. About one in four workers in fabricated structural metal sustained an injury or illness on the job in 1989, triple the national average for all industries. Half the cases in structural metal resulted in lost worktime. Such serious injuries as flash burns to the eyes of welders and back sprains from heavy lifting were common. To foster a safer workplace, industry and government standards address a number of safety and health problems in fabricated structural metal.

N2  - This article examines the existence of lower-cost alternatives to hospitalization and analyzes health-care coverage for these alternatives. It focuses on skilled-nursing-care facilities, home-health-care organizations, and hospices. Historical information relates to the rising cost of hospitalization and the incidence of alternative-health-care coverage as reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Tables show limitations imposed on medical-plan coverage for skilled nursing care, home health care, and hospice care. Charts show percent of medical-care participants with coverage for alternative care and typical medical care services by source of care.

N2  - This article traces the evolution and growth of employer-provided defined benefit pension plans in the United States. From their inception in 1875, defined benefit plans, which guarantee the retiree a specified level of income, have grown in number, assets, coverage, and complexity. Developments in these areas are outlined in the decades since 1875. Past economic conditions and their influence on pension provisions and funding are discussed. Pension legislation has played a large role in shaping modern pension plans. Typical features of today's plans are presented.

N2  - Labor productivity, as measured by output per hour, rose 2.5 percent in U.S. manufacturing in 1990. This article examines comparative trends in manufacturing output per hour, unit labor costs, and related measures for the United States and eleven other industrial nations in 1990 and, subsequently, over the 1960-90 period, with discussions of selected subperiods. Trends in unit labor costs in South Korea and Taiwan since 1973 are included. The analysis also includes relative trade-weighted measures of productivity and unit labor costs--the U.S. measure relative to a trade-weighted average for the other economies or selected economies.

AB  - One of the persistent problems plaguing the measurement of productivity and output is accounting for changes in product quality. A similar problem arises in attempting to explain shifts in a production function using information on changes in the characteristics of the production process itself. We consider these problems under a behavioral model in which the firm chooses a profit-maximizing bundle of input/output/process characteristics as well as the profit maximizing levels of input and output. This view of quality change is similar to the endogenous design index advocated by Triplett [1983] for industrial prices and the endogenous quality indexes analyzed by Pollak [1983] for consumer prices. We show how a price-characteristics locus can be used to adjust the Tornqvist output- and input-oriented multifactor productivity indexes of Caves, Christensen and Diewert [1982] for changes in input, output and process characteristics. To show the applicability of the methodology to services, we apply the results in the framework of the commercial banking measurement of Fixler [1988] to measure the impact of bank branching on multifactor productivity.

AB  - The conventional view of going-private transactions is that they are designed to enhance the efficiency of the firm (for example, Jensen (1986)). A starkly different view is that these and other control transactions are motivated to effect transfers from other stakeholders in the firm to equity holders (Shleifer and Summers (1988)). This study exploits data describing pension terminations as a way to test these theories. We conclude that the efficiency theory can plausibly explain a substantial number of LBO-related terminations, but not enough to undermine the transfer theory. More specific predictions from the efficiency theory are needed to structure more exacting tests. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This article explored the hypothesis that vigilance among mutual fund investors plays an important role in generating an efficient equilibrium in this market. The reasons why the mutual funds market is well suited to the study of the economic issues surrounding quality assurance are as follows: accurate and comparable data describing market shares and investment returns are available over significant periods of time, product quality can be defined and measured relatively unambiguously in terms of investment returns net of risk premia and expenses and since investors have access to costless index funds, it can be reasonably inferred that they expect actively managed mutual funds at least to deliver risk- and expense-adjusted returns comparable to market indices. In the model used, mutual fund investors evaluate quality by observing recent performance. It s established that consumer vigilance s more efficacious if the market has access to systematic and comparable information across brands.

AB  - Discusses issues on reforming the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. (PBGC) to protect the pensions of the holders of private defined benefit pension plans. When the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) was created in 1974, it was envisioned that a low level of premiums would be needed to support the pension safety net that would catch participants in the rare instance when a plan is terminated. With a premium increase in 1990, PBGC's premium receipts continued to exceed the benefit payments made to retirees of the trusteed plans. Specifically, PBGC wants it made clear that bankrupt companies have to make payments to ongoing plans as administrative expenses. And, if a plan is terminated, PBGC wants it made clear that it has priority for any missed contributions plus a priority for a portion of the underfunding. To further improve funding incentives and limit PBGC's exposure to structurally underfunded pension plans, the fourth reform calls for PBGC to guarantee future benefit increases only in plans that are fully funded. This would prospectively apply to new plan amendments and once a plan is fully funded, all previous increases would be guaranteed. Companies can also keep their pensions better funded. Choices have to be made as to where limited resources go and it is hard to imagine a better use of resources than increasing pension contributions.

N2  - As part of its annual survey of occupational injuries and illnesses, the Bureau of Labor Statistics develops a variety of measures to gauge the frequency and severity of recordable work place incidents by industry. This article examines some characteristics of soft drink manufacturing and analyzes the injury and illness record of the industry. The industry's 1990 injury and illness rate of 21.5 per 100 full-time workers was well above the 13.2 rate in manufacturing as a whole and more than double the private industry rate of 8.8. The industry's largest group, drivers-salesworkers, sustained injuries related to manual material handling.

N2  - A sample of people with epilepsy, collected by the author, is used to compare the educational attainment, probability of employment, and earnings of disabled individuals with two control groups. Results demonstrate the importance of controlling for the severity of a disorder. In particular, the sample of people with epilepsy who choose to work is nonrandom with respect to severity. Selection bias is, therefore, an issue when estimating an ordinary least squares wage equation on a sample of working individuals. Results show that the estimated marginal wage penalty across severity levels is magnified when accounting for selection bias.

N2  - This article provides an overview of annual percent changes in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers. The CPI-U increased 3.1 percent in 1991, following a 6.1-percent advance in 1990. The 1991 rise was the lowest annual rate of increase since 1986, and the second smallest since 1967. Sluggish economic conditions tended to dampen inflation, but developments for energy and food were major factors in the general slowing of consumer price increases. A table illustrates the rates of change for selected expenditure categories over the 1982-91 period.

N2  - This article discusses the 1991 changes in prices received by domestic producers for the three major stage-of-processing categories. It highlights selected items within each category. The Producer Price Index for Finished Goods dipped 0.1 percent, following a 5.7 percent increase in the preceding year. The Intermediate Goods Price Index moved down 2.6 percent after a 4.3-percent rise the year before. Crude Materials for Further Processing switched from a climb of 6.0 percent in 1990 to a slump of 11.6 percent in 1991. A dramatic reversal in energy prices accounted for most of the annual differences, but many other kinds of goods also contributed a share. Coauthors are William Thomas, Roger Burns, and Jaclyn Shend.

AD  - US Dept of Labor/Bureau of Labor Statistics Ab This article examines the spending pattern of U.S. consumers for durables and services from 1980 through 1990. The dramatic increase in expenditures for many new types of goods and services that have become an integral part of today's way of life are discussed. Data are based on the Consumer Expenditure Survey, conducted for the Bureau of Labor Statistics by the Bureau of the Census. It consists of both a Diary Survey, completed by respondents for two consecutive 1-week periods and an Interview Survey in which data are obtained in five interviews conducted each quarter. Telephone answering machines and meals eaten away from home, videocassette recorders, and cable television were all popular.

AB  - Recent theory casts doubt on the frequently used interindustry regression method of inferring a country's abundant factors. This paper examines the empirical importance of these theoretical qualifications by comparing regression- derived estimates of factor abundance with both revealed and actual factor abundances for 35 countries and 12 resources. We demonstrate the theoretical importance of trade imbalances for the reliability of the regression estimates and therefore propose and implement a theoretically consistent trade imbalance correction. The results indicate that, despite valid theoretical concerns, the regression estimates are generally reliable indicators of revealed factor abundance. Therefore, the innumerable regression studies conducted over the past 30 years can be considered to provide reliable evidence concerning the validity of the factor abundance theory.

N2  - This article compares the labor force activity and earnings of Vietnam-era veterans and their nonveteran contemporaries as of the fall of 1989. The analysis is based on a survey conducted as a supplement to the September 1989 Current Population Survey by the Bureau of the Census for the Bureau of Labor Statistics. It concludes that the majority of veterans and nonveterans are in the labor force and very few are jobless. Weekly earnings, on average, were similar for both, but veterans outearned nonveterans at lower levels of education. Men who served outside the war theater were earning significantly more than the war zone veterans--and nonveterans--in every educational and occupational category.

N2  - This article examines the interrelationship between child support payments to custodial mothers, visitation of noncustodial fathers, and annual hours of work of the parents. The data are based on the 1988 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. This ongoing survey provides annual information on a sample of young women and men who were 14 to 22 years old in 1979. The mothers who received child support payments were more likely to work than are those who did not. Among the recipients, mothers whose children were visited by the absent father worked more hours and had higher earnings than did mothers who received child support only.

N2  - This paper empirically examines the sources of procyclicality in labor productivity for a panel of U.S. auto assembly plants from 1978-85. An employment demand equation, derived from a cost-minimization model, is estimated to test for the presence of increasing returns and labor hoarding on the employment dimension. The data used match employment and wage data from the BLS Current Establishment Survey to publically available data on output and the nature of production at these plants. Statistical evidence in favor of both increasing returns and hoarding is found. These findings suggest that the observed procyclicality of labor productivity in this industry is due to both the nature of technology (increasing returns) as well as attempts by plant managers to maintain a reserve of experienced workers (labor hoarding).

AB  - This article focuses on the Glass Ceiling Initiative of the U.S. Department of Labor. Voluntary efforts play an important role in the glass ceiling endeavor. The heart of the Glass Ceiling Initiative is the promotion of equal opportunity, not mandated results. We encourage the promotion of good corporate conduct through an emphasis on cooperative, not just corrective, problem solving. We also believe in recognizing and rewarding those companies that are independently removing their own glass ceilings. Indeed, one of the most important benefits of the widespread publicity surrounding the Glass Ceiling Initiative has been the increasing corporate awareness of glass ceiling issues. Since the release of the Glass Ceiling Report, many corporate executives have come forward to let the Department of Labor know what they are doing to remove their barriers. Voluntary compliance is also key for other reasons. Each corporate culture is distinct, and every company has its own approach to the development of a management team. Therefore, businesses, not the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP), are best situated to determine the optimum means of ensuring that qualified women and minorities are being given the opportunity to advance. Businesses, not the OFCCP, are best equipped to change the attitudes of managers who would cut short the career of a person because he or she does not fit the mold of a manager. And the ideal way to guarantee that this change in attitude happens is with a commitment from the CEO and other senior-level officers to make equal opportunity a key corporate objective toward becoming a premier employer. If the glass ceiling is allowed to remain, it effectively cuts the pool of potential corporate leaders by eliminating more than one half of the work force. It deprives business of new leaders, new sources of creativity, and would-be pioneers with entrepreneurial spirit.

N2  - Productivity, measured by output per employee hour, declined at an average annual rate of 0.9 percent in the fish and seafoods industry, reflecting a 2.3-percent rise in output and a 3.2-percent increase employee hours. Limited technological diffusion and difficulties associated with processing perishable, highly variable, and seasonal products have contributed to productivity declines in this industry. Although fish and seafood products are enjoying a surge of popularity with consumers in the marketplace, the benefits of this growing demand have yet to be reflected in the long-term productivity growth rates of the industry. However, significant advances in productivity occurred in recent years.

N2  - Output per employee hour in the nuts, screws, rivets, and washers industry increased at an average annual rate of 0.9 percent between 1958 and 1990, according to a new measure of industry labor productivity. Output increased 1.5 percent, while employee hours rose 0.6 percent. The relatively low average annual increase in labor productivity masks a pattern of accelerating productivity growth--1.0 percent over the 1973-79 period and 1.4 percent between l979 and 1990. Output was strongly influenced by growing import penetration, increasing use of alternative joining technologies, improved fasteners, and development of products requiring fewer fasteners.

N2  - In the wood containers industry, productivity grew at an average annual rate of 2.2 percent, output increased 2.8 percent, while employee hours increased 0.6 percent during the 1977-89 period. Productivity growth has been heavily influenced by technical changes in the wood pallets and skids segment, its largest component. Continued improvements in pallet-making equipment and greater diffusion of the most automated systems will likely spur more productivity advances. The industry has never faced serious competition in the past and this does not appear likely to change in the future.

N2  - This article reviews some of the 1984-88 measures of multifactor productivity for manufacturing industries and updates previously published 1949-83 data. It discusses the differences in industry productivity growth rates and the extent of the recovery in growth. An examination of the contribution of manufacturing to productivity growth in the private business sector also is included. The data indicate that growth of manufacturing productivity has resumed the pace of the early postwar period, notwithstanding the dismal performance of the late 1970's. However, slow growth persists in the more aggregate business sector.

N2  - More than 8 million U.S. workers have jobs in the health services industry. The industry share of total nonfarm jobs rose from 5.8 percent in 1980 to 7.6 percent in 1991--an increase of 2.9 million jobs. This increase was widespread across the industry, and fairly evenly distributed among the major occupation groups. This article provides a brief history of the market for health services and focuses on the industry's employment trends since 1980. It concludes with a brief discussion of factors that may influence industry employment trends in the 1990s.

It also explores some reasons for and against choosing outpatient, rather than inpatient, surgery. The price of health care increased 109 percent between 1981 and 1991--more than twice the rise in the price of all items in the Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index. The cost of hospital care rose 135 percent. Data for the survey are representative of 77.9 million full-time employees.

AB  - This article discusses various issues related to the initiatives of the U.S. Department of Labor towards improving corporate culture. The article makes specific reference to the glass ceiling initiative. The marching orders of the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs are to enforce laws and regulations that prohibit government contractors and subcontractors from discriminating in their employment practices against any employee or applicant for employment on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, or national origin and require them to make good-faith efforts to attract, develop, and retain women and minorities. Historically, the Department has focused its enforcement efforts on ensuring that women and minorities are not kept out of the workplace unlawfully or, if hired, are not kept unlawfully at entry-level jobs. While that battle is not yet over, workforce participation statistics suggest that these initial efforts have, in large part, been successful. The glass ceiling refers to the invisible shield found in most American organizational structures which seems to stymie access to advancement opportunities for women and minorities.

It uses the recently developed definition of the working poor: persons who devoted more than half to the year to working or looking for work and who lived in families with incomes below the official poverty level. When the official poverty threshold for a family of four was $13,359 a year, 6.6 million workers in the labor force more than half the year lived in families whose incomes fell below the poverty level.

This study combines job search information from a given month in the Current Population Survey with information from the following month. This matching of data created a longitudinal perspective of an individual's job search efforts. More than one-fifth of all jobseekers surveyed in one month found a job by the second month. The method most often used was "checked with employer directly." However, the most successful method was registering with a private employment agency. Findings show that the type and number of job search methods influence outcomes.

AB  - This article presents a study to analyze mobility within the income distribution of the United States from 1917 through 1986. In this analysis, data from individuals in the Panel Study of Income Dynamics has been used to examine income mobility. The use of longitudinal data also allowed the researchers to control for unobserved differences between individuals which may be determinants of income mobility. Certainly, differences in ability, preferences, and opportunity costs have been correlated with an individual's location within the income distribution. To preview the results, author founded strong empirical evidences that income mobility has decreased since the early 1970s. The findings suggest that both labor supply and labor demand factors are important determinants of mobility. On the supply side, becoming a member of a two-earner family is associated with an improvement in income status, while becoming a member of a female-headed household is correlated with a decline in income position. Thus by focusing on income mobility rather than inequality, a sense of the dynamics of the income distribution is achieved.

N2  - This study analyzes demand patterns conditioning on male and female work status and hours of labor supplied, following Browning and Meghir's approach (1991). It also explores implications of "collective" models of household decision-making. Somewhat weak evidence is found for the necessity of conditioning on labor supplies. Husband/wife relative wages do not have a significant effect on the demands, while total expenditures and the number of children have very strong effects.

N2  - Using data from the manufacturing sectors in the United States, Canada, and France, we distinguish the energy efficiency and productivity impacts of embodied and unembodied technological progress. We find that technological progress embodied in new equipment is responsible for a surprisingly small proportion of productivity growth. We conclude the paper by interpreting this finding.

N2  - Contract negotiations for almost 2.8 million workers under 669 major collective bargaining agreements are scheduled for 1993. Bargaining will involve slightly more than one-third of the 8.2 million workers covered by all major labor agreements (those with 1,000 or more workers) in private industry and State and local governments. Workers in private industry make up almost three-fourths (2 million) of all workers covered by agreements set to expire or reopen in 1993. Among the many economic conditions that are expected to dominate talks in 1993, the issue of economy's ability to generate new jobs is of major concern. The employment outlook for the economy as a whole, as well as for particular geographic regions and industries will influence negotiators.

N2  - This article highlights 1992 labor-management contract negotiations in general and by developments in individual industries and firms. It states that the economy's inability to emerge from a 2-year recession and the fallout from defense cuts contributed to difficult negotiations in 1992 for unions and management. Several key unionized industries, such as steel, aerospace, and airlines were forced to downsize and lay off workers. Several other industries also experienced economic difficulties because of the prolonged recession, weak sales, foreign competition, or government regulations. Health care costs and benefits continued to be the most common and most contentious bargaining issue. In some cases, unions traded all or part of a wage increase to avoid a cut in health care benefits or a shift of health insurance costs to their members.

N2  - Laws in most West European countries give workers strong job rights, including the right to advance notice of layoff and the right to severance pay or other compensation if laid off. Many of these same countries also encourage hours adjustment in lieu of layoffs by providing prorated unemployment compensation to workers on reduced hours. This paper compares the adjustment of manufacturing employment and hours in West Germany, France and Belgium, three countries with strong job security regulations and well-established short-time compensation systems, with that in the United States. Although the adjustment of employment to changes in output is much slower in the German, French and Belgian manufacturing sectors than in U.S. manufacturing, the adjustment of total hours worked is much more similar. The short-time system makes a significant contribution to observed adjustment in all three European countries. In addition, we find little evidence that the weakening of job security regulations that occurred in Germany, France and Belgium during the 1980s affected employers' adjustment to changes in output. These findings suggest that, given appropriate supporting institutions, strong job security need not inhibit employer adjustment to changing conditions.

N2  - Recent studies have documented the growth of earnings inequality in the United States during the 1980s. In contrast to these studies' findings, our analysis of micro data for the former West Germany yields virtually no evidence of growth in earnings inequality over the same period. Between 1978 and 1988, a reduction in the dispersion of earnings among workers in the bottom half of the earnings distribution led to a narrowing of the overall dispersion of earnings in Germany. Earnings differentials across education and age groups remained roughly stable, and there was no general widening of earnings differentials within either education or age groups. German wage setting institutions tend to limit earnings differentials across groups of workers, but differences in wage setting institutions cannot fully explain the differences between trends in earnings inequality in Germany and those in the United States. Both the high quality of the training received by non-college-bound German youth and the fact that the growth of the highly-educated work force did not decelerate in Germany as it did in the United States seem likely to have contributed to these differences.

N2  - The 1992 labor market was sluggish, as the economy struggled to regain ground lost during the 1990-91 recession. Employment grew little over the year, while unemployment rose in the first half, but edged down in the second. Nonfarm payroll employment increased by about 450,000 between the fourth quarters of 1991 and 1992; this modest gain left employment about 1.5 million below its prerecession peak. Only the services industry and government had substantial employment gains, and even in these areas, job growth was much slower than during most of the 1980's.

N2  - This article compares labor market changes in major geographic regions of the country from 1990 through 1992 with those of the 1981-82 recession. The recession of the early 1990's had its greatest impact on the two coasts--first (and longest) in the Northeast and then on the west coast. In contrast, the 1981-82 recession hit hardest in the central part of the country, especially the industrial heartland of the East North Central and East South Central divisions. For the nation as a whole, the 1981-82 recession was sharper and deeper than the recession a decade later. Manufacturing employment was hit much harder in the early 1980s than in the early 1990s. However, the recession of the early 1990s was severe in the service-producing sector.

N2  - This article examines the effect of postwar socioeconomic changes in New York City. It discusses important issues and future challenges facing the city and reviews labor market dynamics and shifts in industrial and occupational patterns. Notably, in the early and mid- 1970's, manufacturing accounted for nearly half of the job losses. However, the early l990's contraction marks a departure from this pattern. While there was accelerating job loss in manufacturing, it accounted for only a fifth of the city's job decline. The latter contraction took a major toll on the city's service-producing sector.

AB  - Inequality in U S. consumption expenditures is examined using the Lerman and Yitzhaki covariance method for decomposing the Gini coefficient by factors From the decomposition, non-parametric estimates of elasticities with respect to total expenditures are derived. Using data from the 1987 U S Consumer Expenditure Interview Survey, the overall Gini based on total annual consumption expenditures is 033 Consistent with parametric expenditure elasticities, the Gini expenditure elasticities for household operations, apparel and services, and entertainment are relatively high An implication of this result is that taxing such goods and services will increase the progressivity or reduce the regressivity of the tax system.

AB  - This paper constructs an equilibrium job-matching model where workers differ in their attachment to the labor force. The model predicts that workers with weaker attachment to the labor market will receive lower starting wages and lower post-training wages, and will be placed in jobs that offer less training and use less capital. The implications of the model for gender differences in pay and job assignment are tested with the EOPP data set. Our findings suggest that while training intensity during the first three months of employment is similar in positions filled by males and females, females are employed in positions that have a shorter duration of on-the-job training and that use less capital. These differences in on-the-job training and capital in positions filled by men and women, as well as a lower market value for women's prior labor market experience, account for a substantial part of the gap in wages between males and females.

N2  - Two Supreme Court decisions concerning the legal definition of discrimination in the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibit as discriminatory the use of separate mortality tables for men and women in pension benefit calculations. We analyze discriminatory aspects of risk classification and find that the Civil Rights Act has increased discrimination in pension compensation. This article demonstrates both theoretically and by simulation that sex-based risk classification results in less sex discrimination and less individual discrimination than a unisex approach. This result holds for various sex-based classification policies, as well as for various definitions of discrimination and statistics used to quantify those definitions. Of six pension classification policies, the Supreme Court's policy of unisex classification is the most discriminatory.

AB  - A standard problem in sample survey inference is that of predicting the finite population total H of a function h(y) of a random variable Y. The model-based approach to this problem first defines a working model ξ for Y and then predicts H by estimating its expectation under ξ, conditional on the sample values of Y. This approach leads to biased predictions if ξ is incorrect. We explore an automatic solution to this misspecification bias that uses nonparametric regression to define a robust (but inefficient) predictor of H, and then calibrates this predictor for its bias under ξ. An application to prediction of the finite population distribution function of a population of Australian beef farms is presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

It discusses U-1 through U-7 measures for the United States, Canada, Japan, five major European Community countries, and Sweden for 1989. Among the countries studied, Sweden and Japan had the lowest unemployment rates (between 1 and 3 percent), in terms of persons who were without work, and currently available for work. The United States placed in the next range with Germany, between 7 and 8 percent. Canada, Italy, and the United Kingdom followed with rates between 7 and 8 percent. The Netherlands recorded a rate of almost 9 percent, while France was at the high end with 9.7 percent.

N2  - This article describes how retirement income coverage in private plans are affected by type of industry and by union status, amount of benefit, job tenure, retirement age, personal savings, and by trends in retirement income programs. The percent of total retirement income derived from employer pension plans is projected to increase from 19 percent in 1988 to 25 percent in 2018. U.S. workers are leaving the full-time work force at earlier ages, yet these younger retirees often receive low postretirement benefits from all sources, and recent Social Security changes will provide even lower benefits in the future. While there is no fixed standard for the amount of income that a retiree will need, studies indicate that the income equal to at least 60 to 70 percent of preretirement earnings is necessary.

N2  - Beginning with data for January l992, the weights used to construct Producer Price Indexes were updated to reflect 1987 shipment values of commodities. From January 1987 through December 1991, weights were based on 1982 shipment values. Most of the weight shifts reflected changes in the American economy during the 1982-87 period, however, some of the shifts are attributable to coincidental alterations in the structure or pricing procedures in the Producer Price Index. In each major stage-of-processing category, weights contracted in the energy sector while expanding in the "core" component (that is, excluding foods and energy). Weights for the food components declined for finished goods and intermediate goods, but advanced for crude goods.

AB  - Supports the argument that relevant variables have been forgotten in mainstream memory research in 3 ways. First, research is reviewed to show that there are many variables that have been forgotten, or largely so, by mainstream memory research and theory. Reasons are discussed that are believed may account for why memory theory and research have come to ignore certain variables. Lastly, implications are explored for memory theory and how research methodology needs to adapt if memory research is to pay adequate attention to forgotten variables is examined. A sample subject information questionnaire is appended. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)

AB  - An index number approach to the measurement of bank efficiency has been developed. The method departs from the common methods for measuring efficiency because it views observed productivity variations as deriving from heterogenous technology instead of a sub-optimal use of inputs. The index number measure required an estimate of returns to scale, which is obtained through the estimation of a distance function. The index number approach provided a potentially useful tool for regulators because of its flexibility in accommodating heterogeneous technologies and its computational simplicity.

AB  - Expenditure patterns of different demographic groups are examined using the Consumer Expenditure Survey. Such information is essential for describing the social and economic situation of the times. This paper outlines and discusses the evolution of the methodology of the Consumer Expenditure Survey in the U.S. and changes in the spending patterns of American families since 1935-36 as revealed by these surveys. Both the collection methodology and results from the survey reflect the society of each era. The survey periods covered are 1935-36, 1960-61, 1972-73, and 1988-89. The survey has evolved from a relatively short questionnaire where respondents were asked to recall their expenditures over the last year to two separate instruments (weekly diaries and quarterly interviews) with shorter recall periods but, in the case of the interview component, many more detailed questions. This study reveals that over this period there was a significant shift in family budget shares away from food and toward transportation. The distribution of total aggregate spending has remained about the same across quartiles of income. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This paper evaluates the evidence for a college degree effect-a particularly high return to completing college compared to the first three years-in the National Longitudinal Study of the High School Class of 1972 (NLS-72). An ordered probit model of schooling choice is developed to correct for selection bias. If conventional exclusion restrictions are adopted, selection bias does not appear to account for the degree effect. However, use of Leamer's (1978, 1982) extreme bounds analysis shows that the results are very dependent on acceptance of the exclusion restrictions used to identify the model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This paper studies the impact of workers' compensation income benefits on injury rates and on the distribution of injuries by severity. I develop econometric models for correlated counts of injuries that are estimated on a longitudinal data set of 2,798 manufacturing establishments. I find that higher benefits increase the frequencies of most nonfatal injuries, but reduce the frequency of fatalities. Also, higher benefits increase the probability that a given injury involves days away from work, but reduces the chance that it is a fatality or a minor injury. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Despite the importance of commercial banks as a major provider of financial services, a bank output price index for financial services has not been developed. This paper derives such an index from the economic theory of financial firms and the application of the user cost of money concept. The derived index is superlative, non-parametric and of the T<oum>rnqvist type. An empirical application using the Federal Reserve's functional cost analysis data for banks with deposits over 200 million dollars shows that these banks experienced an output growth of 7% over the years 1985-88 and financial services prices declined by 2%.

AB  - The health and safety problems that arise from employee theft are considerable and should be recognized. Effective prevention of employee theft should focus on employee selection, education, and the factors associated with theft such as drug and alcohol abuse. When physical barriers are used at work sites to prevent theft, work site egress should be safe. Interaction between management and occupational health professionals can focus attention on the relationship between work site theft and employee health. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Previous research on electric generation costs has mainly relied on economy-wide data. This study disaggregates a broad sample into regions known to have marked differences in fossil fuel availability, climate, regulatory effects, and other variables. We find differences exist in generation costs among the studied regions and nuclear power, using estimates of scale economies and other measures. We also find smaller minimum efficient size fossil-fuel firms than previous studies, based on recent cost information. This study provides insights into several industry structure issues, such as capacity expansion, competition, input costs, environmental policy, and transmission access. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The article reflects on the development of women's rights movements in the U.S. The move toward women's legal literacy argues that people must get beyond what has been for centuries a government of men's laws. From 1963 to 1993, a variety of strategies has been used to increase the responsiveness and the efficacy of legal institutions to the concerns of women. As of 1993, criminal law in cases such as rape, incest, and physical abuse; domestic relations law, such as divorce, child support, and child custody; and employment law, such as job discrimination and workers' compensation, more accurately reflect the actual circumstances of women's lives than ever before in the U.S. The perception of what constitutes the most urgent employment issue for working women has changed as new legislation, court cases, and media information shape cultural expectations of how women should be treated on the job. As of 1993, women are encouraged to raise new and innovative fairness issues in the courts, legislatures, and at the work place. In addition, women are putting before the public the question of the fitness for leadership roles of those individuals who have behaved unjustly to women workers. Once women exercise their rights to participate at all levels of the legal system, both the substantive law and its enforcement will move closer toward protecting the legal rights of all citizens.

AB  - We use OECD data to examine inter-industry wage differentials (relative wages among industries for 14 OECD countries over the period 1970-85. We find, first, that the industrial wage structures have shown remarkable stability over time in terms of rank order for all the countries in the sample. Second, despite their rank order stability, wage structures show a tendency to expand or contract. While the U.S. has shown increasing industry wage dispersion between 1970 and 1985, the pattern is very mixed for other countries. Unionization is a significant factor in explaining cross-country differences. Third, industry wage rankings show some evidence of becoming increasingly similar across nations over time, and this movement is associated with a convergence of per capita incomes. Fourth, industry wage differentials are positively related to an industry's productivity growth, output growth, capital intensity, and export orientation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Examined the relationship between child support and visitation, using survey data collected over a 5-yr period in the 1980s from 3,817 custodial mothers and 1,923 absent fathers (aged 14–22 yrs in 1979). Simultaneous equations that eliminate unobserved differences between individuals were applied. Findings indicate that changes in child support and changes in visitation had no effect on each other, which suggests that the positive correlation found in other studies is due to unmeasured characteristics of the parents.

AB  - This article assesses the benefits of unfunded pension plans with the establishment of a task force by U.S. Labor Secretary Robert Reich to examine the condition of pension plans in the U.S. The interagency task force drew on significant resources throughout the government. The challenge faced by the task force was to forge a balanced solution and to integrate the different perspectives of all who have a stake in the pension system. At the core of the Administration's reform is improved funding of pensions. As a whole, the defined benefit pension system insured by PBGC is strong and well-funded. Although underfunding is concentrated in a few industries (primarily steel, auto-mobile, tire, and airlines), it is growing and persistent. The fact that a plan is underfunded does not mean that a participant's benefits are jeopardized. Too often, however, underfunding occurs in plans of troubled companies.

AB  - Examination of aircraft engine histories provided by Pratt & Whitney, Inc., indicates a significant increase in the number of engine hours between major overhauls in the period following deregulation. Parametric analysis of times between overhauls, which controls for other variables affecting the length of the shop visit cycle, suggests that deregulation is a significant factor in the change. Logit analysis, however, shows that engine "failures" (as measured by in-flight shutdowns) have not increased as a result of deregulation. These findings suggest that airlines have responded to competitive pressures by optimizing scheduled service times and perhaps by improving the quality of service performed but paying less attention to minor problems between scheduled shop visits.

N2  - Like most Western European countries, Germany stringently regulates dismissals and layoffs. Critics contend that this regulation raises the costs of employment adjustment and hence impedes employers' ability to respond to fluctuations in demand. Other German labor policies, however, most especially the availability of unemployment insurance benefits for those on short time, facilitate the adjustment of average hours per worker in lieu of layoffs. Building on earlier work, we compare the adjustment of employment, hours and inventories to demand shocks in the German and U.S. manufacturing sectors. We find that, in the short run, whereas U.S. employers rely principally on the adjustment of employment levels to respond to demand shocks, German employers rely principally on the adjustment of average hours per worker. The adjustment of overall labor input is generally similar in the two countries. Short-time work makes a very important contribution to short-run hours adjustment in Germany. We find little evidence that inventories help to buffer demand fluctuations in either country. Our findings suggest that, given appropriate supporting institutions, strong worker job security can be compatible with employers' need for flexibility in staffing levels.

AB  - This research uses microdata from the 1986 Statistics Canada Family Expenditure Survey and from the 1986-88 U.S. Consumer Expenditure Survey to estimate equivalence scales using a methodology which is very similar to that employed by Statistics Canada for the estimation of Low-Income Cutoffs. Employing identical rumple selection criteria and identically specified models, we find that equivalence scales for the two countries are not in general statistically different when estimated in the same way. The larger issue is then whether the two countries should choose the same methodology for the estimation of equivalence scales. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The article comments on the manuscript "Minimum Wage Research Symposium," written by the economists David Neumark and William Wascher, published in the October 1992 issue of the journal "Industrial and Labor Relations Review." In this comment the authors argue that an appropriate analysis of Neumark and Wascher's data raises serious challenges to the conventional view of the minimum wage that they espouse. Indeed, the authors believe that an objective reading of their data supports the conclusions reached in our papers in the symposium. Neumark and Wascher's conclusions hinge entirely on whether they hold constant the effect of a variable reportedly measuring the proportion of the age group enrolled in school. When they include this variable, the minimum wage index has a statistically significant negative effect on employment. When they exclude this variable, however, the minimum wage index has a statistically insignificant and positive contemporaneous effect on teenage employment. Because Neumark and Wascher regress the employment-population rate on an enrollment measure that is mechanically correlated with the employment rate, they find a t-statistic of over 25 on the enrollment variable.

AB  - This article focuses on Phyllis A. Wallace, distinguished economist, former president of the National Economic Association, and a beloved and respected role model for many African-American economists. Wallace embarked on a distinguished career in teaching, research, and administrative leadership. During the mid-1960's, Wallace was invited to join the senior staff of the newly organized U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) as its Director of Technical Studies. In that capacity, she pioneered in the development and use of occupational employment data as a tool for strengthening the enforcement of Title 7 of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. After her distinguished career at EEOC, Wallace joined the well-known black psychologist, Kenneth Clark as vice president of the Metropolitan Applied Research Center in New York City. While there, she conducted studies on the employment problems of urban minority youth and wrote a pathbreaking book on the employment of black teenage women in New York. Wallace passed away one year ago in Boston, Massachusetts, her adopted city where she lived, worked, and made a significant contribution to the community.

AB  - It is widely presumed that inflation causes or is at least associated with price dispersion, and indeed the literature provides both empirical and theoretical support for this view. Whether this is so have important implications for understanding how markets respond to inflationary shocks and for determining the microeconomic foundations of macroeconomic fluctuations. In contrast with the prior literature, the present paper shows that inflation and price dispersion may be negatively related. Paradoxically, the theoretical explanation for this phenomenon is based on considerations of incomplete information similar to those often used to argue for a positive relation between these variables. This paper is also distinguished by its use of a broad panel of micro-level data on different sellers' prices for the same good rather than aggregated price averages or indexes. The major finding of this paper is that the positive relation widely presumed to exist between inflation and price dispersion is absent in micro-level data.

N2  - The implicit pension contract has provided a theoretical basis for the observed relation between pensions, less quitting and earlier retirement. But it also has encountered difficulty explaining why wages seem 'too high' in pension firms. This anomaly has been taken by some to imply that efficiency wages, not pension capital losses, explain why quitting is abnormally low in defined benefit pensions. In this paper, I pursue an alternative explanation, that the implicit contract model is oversimplified because it ignores supply conditions facing long-tenure firms. I show that once an allowance is made for compensation required by workers for entering long-term labor contracts, numerous anomalous empirical observations in the pension market are explicable.

AB  - This article estimates the unauthorized U.S. labor force and explores employers' initial reactions to the passage of the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA). A sample of businesses, undertaken to evaluate IRCA impact, supplies information on hiring practices. A selectivity correction model is used to impute 2.6 million unauthorized workers in the entire sample which compares favorably with other estimates. The estimate is tabulated by questions about IRCA: the findings suggest that a large proportion of the unauthorized labor force uses fraudulent documents, many without the knowledge of their employer. This may be associated with the apparent lack of marked change in patterns of unauthorized hiring in the period immediately following IRCA passage. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The authors argue that the classic hierarchy of industrial hygiene controls may be successfully used to control TB. Various elements of hygiene control programs reviewed here include TB exposure control programs, identification and isolation of patients, respiratory isolation, local source capture ventilation, laboratory procedures, employee surveillance programs, reporting of occupational illnesses, labeling requirements, and respiratory protection.

AB  - Using cost data generated by an optimization model, we evaluate the degree of economies of scope in the local telephone exchange market. We find that economies of scope between switched and non-switched services are a decreasing function of customer density, while there are strong economies of scope, regardless of customer density, within the switched telephone market.

AB  - Uses Current Population Survey data to examine changes in job stability during the 1980's. For consecutive four-year periods during 1979-91, estimates of four-year retention rates for workers with varying levels of employer-specific seniority are presented. Retention rates of low-seniority workers rose between 1979-83 and 1983-87 but fell between 1983-87 and 1987-91. Retention rates for 1987-91 were typically lower than those for 1979-83, suggesting a secular decline in job stability during the 1980's. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - Since 1980, defined benefit plans have steadily lost market share to defined contribution plans. In 1979, defined contribution plans had 17 percent of the primary pension market. By 1988, it was 34 percent. About half of the shift is attributable to a loss of employment in large unionized firms where defined benefit plans are used intensively. But evidence of large changes in preferences is also found in the data. One likely explanation is the introduction of a new variety of defined contribution plans, so-called 401(k)s. These pension plans have productivity traits that make them more effective competition for defined benefit plans.

N2  - Workers compensation legislation was relatively light during 1994. Although some States made sweeping changes, overall legislative changes were light this year. Several new and revised laws focused on fraud and injuries resulting from intoxication and use of illegal drugs. Fraud received considerable attention in Arizona, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Dakota, and Virginia. Some States made sweeping changes in their laws. This annual article summarizes compensation legislation enacted by State.

AB  - This study addresses two fundamental questions about the economic assimilation of undocumented immigrants in the United States: 1) how different recently legalized immigrants are from all foreign-born persons and native-born whites; 2) whether wages of undocumented immigrants improve as they acquire greater amounts of U.S. experience and, if so, how these improvements are comparable to those of immigrants in general. We analyze the Legalized Population Survey and the Current Population Survey to assess the returns to U.S. experience and find positive returns to U.S. experience for both undocumented migrants and all foreign-born men. Returns to U.S. experience depend on region of origin. Undocumented immigrants from Mexico received the lowest wage returns and men from non-Spanish-speaking countries received the highest returns to U.S. experience. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Using 17 measures of job quality from the 1980 Census, the Current Population Survey, and the Dictionary of Occupational Titles, the authors perform a cluster analysis that groups 621 jobs covering 94% of the work force into six job categories (termed "contours"), a job classification closely resembling those suggested by labor market segmentation theory. The distribution of employment over the period 1973-90 shifted sharply away from the two middle-quality contours toward the two highest-quality contours. The two lowest-quality contours show no decline in employment share in the 1980's. The declining relative position of employed black and Hispanic men stems from both a worsening job mix relative to white men and a sharp drop in the quality of low-skill jobs. Female workers experienced both a greater shift away from jobs in the lower-quality contours and higher real earnings growth within each job contour than male workers.

AB  - The article presents information about the enactment of the Retirement Protection Act. With the enactment of the Retirement Protection Act, the administration and the U.S. Congress took decisive steps to strengthen the pension system and better protect pension benefits. One now has tools to reverse the trend of pension underfunding that has posed a risk to workers and retirees, the pension insurance program and American taxpayers for much too long. Pension underfunding climbed from $27 billion in 1987 to $71 billion in 1993. Nearly 8 million workers and retirees are in underfunded pension plans. An effort to get to the underfunding core was made in 1987 when Employee Retirement Income Security Act was amended and funding requirements were tightened but obviously not tightened enough. The law contained loopholes and enough flexibility to allow certain companies to contribute little or nothing to their plans even though they were severely underfunded. The Retirement Protection Act closes the loopholes. The reforms bring certainly and speed to pension contributions.

AB  - One of the best-known predictions of standard economic theory is that an increase in the minimum wage will lower employment of tow-wage workers. Meta-analysis is the quantitative analysis of a body of studies. Meta-analytic techniques may be used to summarize a set of related studies to evaluate the reliability of the findings in a statistical literature. In the context of time-series minimum wage studies, a natural test for publication bias arises from fact that more recent studies use more data. Structural change is one possibility that the minimum wage may have declined over time, and it may have done so at a faster rate than the decline in the estimated standard error. But the validity of the time-series approach is called into question if there has been a structural change. The main conclusion that is reached is that researchers may have to temper the inferences they draw from a body of published studies-even from a literature that appears to provide strong support for a particular finding.

AB  - The article discusses the importance of the consumer price index (CPI) as the principal measure of inflationary pressure in the consumer markets of the Unites States economy. It is widely used to adjust payments in both the private and public sectors. It is estimated, for example, that, because the CPI is used to adjust such things as Social Security benefits and income tax brackets, a 1 percent increase in the index produces an increase in outlays and a decline in revenues for the federal government which, jointly, add $6.5 billion to the federal deficit. The CPI produced by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), it is a measure of the average change in the prices paid by urban consumers for a fixed market basket of goods and services. Historically, this market basket has been updated roughly every ten years. The BLS actually produces indexes for two different population groups each month. One includes all urban consumers; a second consists of just wage earners and clerical workers.

N2  - This article analyzes the results of the 1993 Survey of Employer-Provided Training, conducted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and sponsored by the Employment and Training Administration of the U.S. Department of Labor. It finds that workplace practices are quite prevalent, but varied substantially by establishment size. Larger establishments are far more likely than smaller ones to provide formal training to their employees, as are establishments that offer various benefits or employ certain workplace practices.

A 0.9 percent average gain in labor productivity was due entirely to increases in capital and intermediate purchases relative to labor.

AB  - About one in four adults in the United States has high blood pressure on the basis of a single evaluation. Hypertension is associated with an increased risk of developing coronary heart disease, stroke, congestive heart failure, renal insufficiency, and peripheral vascular disease. Weight loss, reduced sodium intake, reduced alcohol consumption, and exercise have documented efficacy as interventions to decrease high blood pressure. A number of intervention programs in community based settings and in health care provider practice based settings have documented that behavioral change and relevant reductions in blood pressure are feasible. Occupational health nurses are in unique positions to both initiate and support intervention programs. Interventions could be conducted by individual occupational health nurses as well as sponsored by corporate employers or local occupational health nursing constituencies.

N2  - The article examines the differences between voluntary and involuntary part-time employment in the U.S.  The data show that part-time employees can be classified in three distinct groups, based on their reasons for working a part-time schedule and their usual weekly work schedule. These groups differ in a number of ways, including the characteristics typical of the people in them, the industries in which they are found, and their pattern of growth over the last two decades. Discussions of part-time employment often focus on the differences between its voluntary and involuntary components. As previously mentioned, the involuntary segment can be further segmented by whether the employee usually works full or part time.

AB  - Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth from 1986 to 1990, the author investigates the wage impact of various sources of training-among them, company training programs, apprenticeships, business schools, vocational and technical institutes, correspondence courses, and seminars outside the workplace. Time spent in training (of whatever kind) apparently did not affect 1990 wage levels. The incidence of two kinds of training, however-company training and seminars outside work-was positively related to wage levels as well as to wage change between 1986 and 1990; that is, workers who undertook such training enjoyed higher wages than those who did not. Time spent in vocational schools was also positively associated with wage change, though not with 1990 wage levels. The other forms of training had no apparent impact on either wage levels or wage change. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This article explores the labor market effects of the employer sanctions provisions of the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA). These provisions levy a "paperwork fine" on all employers who fail to screen each new worker for work-authorized status, as well as a "hiring fine" on employers who knowingly hire unauthorized workers. The 1986 IRCA seeks to check the sizable flow of illegal migrants into the United States. To this end, the act's "employer sanctions" provisions add labor market mechanisms to the long-standing practice of deporting unauthorized workers. This article analyzes the impact of the law's fines against employers on average wage rates. Whereas prior research makes no distinction, authors argue that it is necessary to distinguish between the two types of fines levied under the employer sanctions provisions. These provisions empower the INS to levy a "paperwork fine" on all employers who fail to verify and document the work authorization of each new employee, as well as levy a "hiring fine" on those who knowingly hire unauthorized workers. The literature on the labor market impacts of employer sanctions ignores INS paperwork on hiring penalties.

AB  - The cost of shelter is the single most important component of interarea differences in the cost-of-living. This paper constructs hedonic interior indexes of the cost of shelter using a major new source of detailed microdata, the CPI Housing Survey. Identification of the exact location of housing units permits us to control for measured neighborhood characteristics, and variance components models are used to model the effects of unmeasured neighborhood characteristics. Hierarchical models with interarea slope coefficient variation are applied and model performance is evaluated by comparing out-of-sample predictions. The hierarchical approach allows us to pool information from different cities to reduce the variability of the areas' coefficients. A multilateral index number formula is employed in the index-number construction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - Based on estimates of employment in day care establishments from the Bureau of Labor Statistics Current Employment Statistics, the number of workers in the private day care industry has more than doubled since its employment was first estimated in 1972, increasing by nearly 400,000 jobs. The industry has been influenced by the increasing population of children; the dramatically climbing percentage of job holders among mothers of young children and among other women; Federal, State, and local government spending on child care; increased Federal tax breaks for families with children; and many private initiatives to provide needed day care.

N2  - This study identifies families with children that have full health insurance coverage, partial coverage, and no coverage. It examines the demographic characteristics of each insurance group, types of policies held, health care expenditure patterns for each group, and the relationship between the family's demographics and the probability of being in a particular "coverage group." Based on the Consumer Expenditure Survey, families without health insurance are less likely to receive some kinds of care than families who are at least partially insured, even when income and other characteristics are held constant.

N2  - Japan and Sweden, the countries with the lowest unemployment rates as conventionally measured, had by far the largest increases when the definition of unemployment was expanded to include persons working part time for economic reasons and discouraged workers. In times of recession and recovery, the Japanese unemployment rate consistently tripled when additional measures of underutilization of labor were incorporated. For Sweden, the most inclusive indicator more than doubled until 1992-93 when labor market conditions deteriorated drastically and the conventional rate jumped sharply, resulting in some closing of the differential between the conventional and expanded rates.

It examines the extent to which persons of any given group are able to maintain or improve their relative economic status from one year to the next and analyzes changes in mobility patterns over time. Some of the findings are that: men have higher short-term earnings mobility levels than women do; workers in their twenties have high levels of earnings mobility or instability relative to their older counterparts; higher education levels generally mean more stability in short-term earnings; and black men have more instability in their earnings than do their white counterparts.

N2  - Employment of wage and salary workers in the security brokers and dealers industry grew by 28 percent between 1984 and 1993 according to data from the BLS Occupational Employment Statistics survey. Technological changes affected both the staffing patterns of firms and the tasks performed by workers in various occupations. The result is an industry that today encompasses greater shares of professional and sales occupations and relatively fewer managerial and clerical occupations than in the past.

N2  - The record-keeping requirements of the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA), and fines for illegal employment, may induce employers to discriminate against foreign-appearing workers. The General Accounting Office (GAO) reported widespread IRCA-related discrimination but did not link reported discriminatory practices to discriminatory employment behavior. We analyze the GAO's random survey and, controlling for selectivity effects, demonstrate that employers who report discriminatory practices actually employ fewer Hispanics. Although the measured reduction of Hispanic employment due to IRCA is fairly small, this finding parallels research alerting us to adverse consequences of a law that so far has achieved few of its intended efforts.

N2  - This paper develops an auction model in which the winning bidder has an opportunity to cancel the transaction and pay damages to the seller. In the event of a default on the auction contract, the winning bidder pays liquidated damages or loses a posted deposit. When renegotiation is possible, increasing the deposit has no effect on the seller's payoff unless the seller has some bargaining power and exogenously receives some information about the winning bidder. Under these conditions, the seller's payoff is decreasing in the level of the deposit. (c) 1995 Academic Press, Inc.

AB  - This article analyzes the optimal linear incentive contract to offer to would-be agents competing for a principal's project when the principal finds it costly to observe an agent's cost performance ex post and cannot commit to a monitoring policy ex ante. Cost sharing reduces the winning bidder's informational rents but creates an incentive for the agent to pad costs ex post and to slacken his effort. The optimal cost-sharing parameter generally differs from that when monitoring is costless, and it is higher the fewer the number of bidders and the larger the variance of their idiosyncratic cost.

AB  - Data from five surveys that included specific and general questions on a similar topic are examined. Results suggest that when specific and general questions are paired in surveys., significant patterns will appear. In each of the live studies, correlations between pairs of questions were significantly different when the general followed the specific item compared with the general/specific order. But there was no consistent pattern of assimilation (answers to second item agree with the first) or contrast (response to second question opposite that of the first). One study showed clear evidence of assimilation: the other four showed varying degrees of contrast effects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Using recent data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, it is found that among young workers from 1986 to 1991, there were no gender or race differentials in the likelihood of receiving training, in participation in multiple training events, or in hours of training received. White women, however, were more likely to receive more training per hour worked than white men. This gender differential appears to occur because white women are more likely to work fewer hours and to be employed in entry-level positions that are associated with greater training intensity.

AB  - SUMMARY In this paper we propose a new estimator for the finite population distribution function when there is auxiliary information available about the population. The new estimator has a smaller asymptotic mean squared error than two leading estimators in the literature. In fact, it is in an optimised form in terms of mean squared error. Results are reported for simulation studies on real and artificial populations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Section 504 viewed as a "remedial" statute has become exceedingly important in preventing the influence of criminal elements in our nation's labor movement. A general study of the LMRDA found no local union officers or dissidents who could think of any modifications, reflecting that many in the labor movement may be in favor of congressional intent on this issue (McLaughlin & Schoonmaker, 1979). The 1984 amendments to section 504 have greatly expanded its original scope. The Current provisions of section 504 demonstrate how strong congressional intent is "… to have an antiseptic and purifying effect on the conduct of union affairs by union officials and officers…" [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Is commercial policy a viable tool for correcting trade imbalances? Using the macroeconomic identity where the trade deficit is equal to net national savings, the theoretical channels through which commercial policy could impact the trade balance are investigated. Although there are numerous possible channels, there is presently little theoretical consensus or empirical evidence to suggest that commercial policy can have a permanent and significant impact on national savings or the trade balance. In macroeconomic models with unemployment, commercial policy has more potential in this regard; however, the practical policy relevance of this finding is of limited importance. The desirability of correcting a trade imbalance considering the alternatives and consequences is discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The article informs that the IS-LM model is an important analytical tool in many intermediate macroeconomic courses. Yet the model does not explicitly consider a key market that is commonly cited in discussions of the effects of monetary and fiscal policy changes. Recently, various textbook authors have suggested how this market can be integrated into the IS-LM framework. The most common approach to integrating a financial market into the IS-LM model is to claim that equilibrium in the financial market is implied by equilibrium in the money market alone. The aim of this study is to outline a straightforward, internally consistent approach to analyze the financial market in the context of the IS-LM model. The key feature of this approach is the adoption of an end-of-period version of the IS-LM model along the lines suggested by economist D. Patinkin in his classic treatise on monetary theory. Another aim of this study is to illustrate how this approach differs from discussions of the financial market that appear in many intermediate macroeconomic textbooks.

AB  - This paper assesses the relative contribution of the public and private sectors, through their employment and wages, to the black/white wage convergence that occurred in the U.S. economy over the 1963-92 period. Applying standard decomposition methods to Current Population Survey data, the authors show that almost all the convergence in black/white relative wages in the 1963-75 period was due to black/white convergence in the private sector. Similarly, the post-1975 slowdown in black/white wage convergence was almost completely due to a corresponding slowdown in the private sector. The unimportance of the public sector, the authors argue, arises for two reasons: the public sector never accounted for more than 20% of civilian employment over the 1963-92 period; and blacks' historic success in that sector left relatively little room for further wage gains there, whereas in the private sector blacks had considerable ground to make up.

AB  - In this article we use matched cross sections from the Current Population Survey (CPS) to examine patterns of short-term earnings mobility for the period 1967-91, which we then employ to assess the impact of rising annual individual earnings inequality on inequality over a longer span. First, we find that less-educated individuals and blacks have more instability in their earnings than those who are more highly educated and non-black. Second, short-term mobility levels have not undergone major changes over the time span we examine. Third, our results suggest that long-run inequality (calculated over five years) rose in the latter half of the 1980s. Fourth, important differences exist across demographic groups in long-run inequality trends, with long-term inequality increasing most in the 1980s for less-educated males. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This article analyzes a minimum wage in a market with imperfect information and job watch. It establishes that employment effects of a minimum wage do not generally indicate welfare effects. It shows that researchers interested in welfare consequences should ask two questions. First, is the existing minimum wage binding? Second, do some firms that would be bound by a new minimum wage presently experience labor shortages? If the answers to these questions are no and yes respectively, this article supports the conclusion that a higher minimum wage is welfare improving regardless of its effect on the unemployment rate.

AB  - President Lyndon Johnson issued Executive Order No. 11246 in 1965 to prevent discrimination in minority hiring by federal contractors, and also to establish the practice of affirmative action. The order covers all business firms with fifty or more employees and with $50,000 or more in US government contracts. At first enforcement was decentralized, but since 1978 it has been concentrated in the Department of Labor. In general, enforcement has been reasonably consistent except that it was drastically reduced during the Ronald Reagan administration.

AB  - Income data in the U.S. Consumer Expenditure Survey are subject to nonresponse. Model-based imputation is being explored to diminish missing data problems. Since income is an important variable in predicting expenditures, might expenditures be useful in predicting incomes? Incomes from wages and salaries and self-employment are modeled. These results are compared to regressions on demographic characteristics alone. Although each expenditure category adds to the predictive power of the model, total expenditures adds the most.

N2  - The Current Population Survey (CPS), a national survey of 50,000 households, is a major source of information about the American labor market. In January 1994, the CPS underwent a major redesign both in the wording of the questionnaire and the methodology used to collect the data. This article reviews the motivation for the redesign, compares several key CPS estimates before and after the implementation of the new survey, and explains some of the new data collected in the redesigned CPS.

AB  - A firm's decision to contract out for business support services may be influenced by the wage and benefit savings it could realize, the volatility of its output demand, and the availability of specialized skills possessed by the outside contractor. Analysis of newly available establishment-level data shows that all three of these factors help to explain observed contracting behavior. The reported empirical findings are relevant both for understanding the recent growth in business support service contracting and for understanding firms' relationships with their own employees.

N2  - At the same time health care costs have been rising, studies have shown that business and government have been shifting direct costs of health care to consumers. Furthermore, low-income consumers are more vulnerable to changing health care costs. This article examines three groups of low-income consumers: families with Medicaid recipients, families that pay for some health insurance, and families that have no insurance at all. Low-income families are defined as families with income below the current and previous year's poverty lines that receive government assistance. Income sources, demographic characteristics, types of coverage, and expenditures for health care and other items are analyzed using data from the 1991-93 Consumer Expenditure Surveys. The results show that each group reacts differently to changes in health care costs. The largest differences are found in expenditures for food, transportation, and recreation, the smallest differences are found in expenditures for housing and apparel.

N2  - Since 1977 Federal data collection agencies have been required to obtain and present racial ethnic origin information. This article describes the results of a May 1995 Current Population Survey supplement that tested different questions to assess race and ethnic origin. Results from the supplement also are compared with race and ethnic tabulations from the CPS, which contains only the basic categories: American Indian or Alaska Native; Asian or Pacific Islander; black; and white. Also included are respondents' preferences for racial and ethnic terminology.

N2  - "'Race' and 'ethnic origin' are two of the most emotionally charged and conceptually ambiguous terms in U.S. contemporary social discourse," according to this article. Nevertheless, it describes the development, collection, methodology, and analysis, of data from the Current Population Survey Supplement on Race and Ethnic Origin. Through extensive cognitive testing, the survey instrument was developed so that could be easily understood and would no longer evoke negative emotional responses. It allowed analysts to pinpoint the circumstances associated with multiracial reporting.

N2  - Experimental Laspeyres, Paasche, and Fisher price indexes are derived for poor consumers in order to determine whether an index would be lower than, higher than, or equal to the current Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers. The minimal differences between these indexes and the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers in the calculation of poverty rates indicate that the poor and the general population face similar price trends. The results reveal that the Fisher indexes for the poor are much the same as those for the whole urban CPI sample.

N2  - Self-employed workers are less likely to be affected by implicit contracts, efficiency wages, and other forces that mute wage cyclicality and exacerbate employment cyclicality. This observation motivates the authors' comparison of the cyclical experience of the self-employed with 'wage and salary' workers who clearly have an employer. They find negligible or small differences in annual hours cyclicality between the two groups, but hourly wages and annual earnings are much more cyclical for the self-employed. These results are consistent with efficient contracting models where employers smooth workers' income without causing inefficiencies in hours of work.

N2  - There is a growing sense that employers, in their attempts to reduce costs, have increased their use of employment intermediaries and are relying more on alternative staffing arrangements. This article discusses the definitions of contingent workers and alternative work arrangements used by the Bureau of Labor Statistics to analyze data from a special supplement to the Current Population Survey, and presents aggregate estimates of workers in each group thus identified. Data from the 1994 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth also are used. The conclusion discusses the overlap between contingent workers and workers in alternative arrangements.

N2  - Contingent workers were more likely to be female, black, young, enrolled in school, and employed in services and construction industries than were noncontingent workers. Three definitions of contingent workers are used to examine their characteristics (1) wage and salary workers expecting their jobs to last for an additional year or less and who had worked at their jobs for 1 year or less: (2) self-employed workers and independent contractors, expecting to work for a year or less and had worked for a year or less; and (3) workers who did not expect their jobs to last, except those who, for personal reasons, expected to leave.

N2  - Contingent workers generally earn less income and are less likely to receive health insurance and pension benefits through their employers than are noncontingent workers. This article takes a first look at the compensation data from the Contingent Worker/Alternative Work Arrangement supplement to the Current Population Survey, conducted in February 1995. Overall, median weekly earnings of contingent workers were $285, compared with $416 for noncontingent workers. This study finds, for example, that a much larger proportion of the contingent work part time and that contingent workers tend to be younger, and younger workers generally tend to be lower paid.

N2  - This article discusses alternative work arrangements--independent contractors, temporary help agency workers, contract company workers, a on-call workers--in detail including the 1995 demographics of the workers the characteristics of the jobs they held, and the extent to which their jobs were contingent. Approximately 12 Trillion persons, or 10 percent of the work force, fell into at least one of the four categories. The largest was independent contractors (8.3 million), followed by on-call workers (2 million), temporary help agency workers (1.2 million), and contract company employees (650,000).

N2  - Workers in alternative work arrangements were generally less likely to receive health insurance or pension coverage from their employers, but many earned higher wages than workers in traditional arrangements. According to data from the February 1995 Contingent Worker/Alternative Work Arrangement Supplement to the Current Population Survey, approximately 1 of 10 workers was employed in an alternative work arrangement. Workers employed by temporary help agencies and those who are on call earned less than workers in traditional arrangements, while contract company workers and independent contractors earned more.

N2  - This article examines the importance of contingent and alternative work arrangements for persons who recently started their current work relationship, and it considers what these individuals were doing prior to entering into that relationship. It examines their arrangement preferences, and their reasons for being in that type of employment relationship. Several measures are constructed which present the proportion of those employed who involuntarily entered into either arrangement. It provides a proportion of those who are looking for a new job and of those who work in traditional jobs, but started working for their current employer in an alternative work arrangement.

N2  - Data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth suggest that recent occurrences such as the birth of a child can affect the likelihood of entering different types of employment arrangements. This article explores the impact on workers aged 29 to 37 of being in a nonstandard employment arrangement. It examines the distribution of workers among various employment arrangements, then looks at aspects of work behavior and life "events" that may have influenced the likelihood of working in a nonstandard arrangement. It compares wages and hours worked on the previous job with those on the current nonstandard employment arrangements.

AB  - This article comments on a paper by Matthew D. Shapiro and David W. Wilcox about mismeasurement in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The paper is thought to be a particularly careful and thoughtful summary of the issues and state of knowledge concerning potential biases in the CPI. There is a valuable emphasis on the difficulty of some of the problems involved in eliminating those biases. The major limitation of the paper is that it gives too little attention to the basic question of why the authors are trying to quantify the CPI bias. It is believed that if more attention had been given to the purpose of measuring CPI bias, a different estimated distribution of total bias would have been obtained. The most important example of this point concerns social security. As the authors recognize, the indexation of federal taxes and spending is the most obvious reason that CPI mismeasurement matters, and social security is the most important component of that indexation. There is another issue that the authors address only in passing. The CPI is measured exclusive of numerous prices or quantities that would be included in a comprehensive cost-of-living index. These include such factors as crime levels and public-school quality that would point in the direction of a downward bias in the CPI as a measure of the true cost of living.

N2  - While commonalties exist among the States, the economic events that affect Mississippi, for example, are often very different from the factors which influence California. This article examines the economic fortunes of the individual states between 1983 and 1995. The first part of the article examines employment growth within the states, using a shift-share analysis. Because State employment growth often goes hand-in-hand with population growth, these two variables are examined combination. Several key issues related to regional economic growth over the last decade are discussed.

AB  - In regression analysis, at is important to test the validity of the assumed model prior to making references regarding the population of interest. In this investigation, we utilize nonparametric regression techniques to test the validity of a kth order polynomial regression model. The departures from the polynomial model are assumed to belong to a smooth class of functions, a parametric form is not assumed A test based on nonparametric regression fits to the residuals from kth order polynomial regression is proposed. It utilizes a smoothing spline fit of order 2k to the residuals from kth order polynomial regression A test statistic based on this estimator is formulated and its asymptotic distribution is derived under alternatives converging to the null at a rate of (nλ1/4k)-1/2 where λ is the smoothing parameter. We note that this rate of convergence is slower than the parametric rate of n-1/2 Power investigations are conducted through a small-scale simulation study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - The most basic element of the Consumer Price Index decennial revision program is the selection of new CPI samples. The selection of geographic areas is the first stage of the CPI's multistate sample design. The selection of new geographic sampling areas ensures that the 1998 revised CPI is representative of current demographics. This article describes the area selection process for the 1988 CPI revision. It highlights how the 1998 revision methodology and final sample design differ from the previous 1987 revision.

N2  - The CPI "market basket" Of goods and services needs to be modified occasionally because, for example, consumers change their preferences or new products emerge. During these occasions, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reexamines the CPI item structure, which is the classification scheme of the CPI market basket. AA part of the 1998 CPI revision, the Bureau will introduce fairly sweeping changes in the CPI item structure. This article outlines this process.

N2  - Beginning in 1998, the Bureau of Labor Statistics will introduce major revisions to the Consumer Price Index. These changes will require the development of a new publication strategy for the CPI. The bureau is preparing and publishing some new indexes a year ahead of their actual introduction, in order to help ease the transition for users in eases where there has been a substantial change. This article includes the publication plan for local area indexes to begin with the index for January 1998.

N2  - Previous authors have noted that there are significant differences between the provisions of union and nonunion pension plans, I present evidence that sheds light on two hypotheses. The first (Parsons, 1983) posits that union pensions should encourage earlier retirement because productivity falls as workers age, but union rules prohibit firms from lowering wages. The second (Freeman,1985) argues that union pension plans reflect the preferences of older, more senior workers. I find some support for both hypotheses.

N2  - From 1992 to 1996, the High Court decided a number of cases in labor law and employment law. Just as the work force and its protections for workers have evolved, so, too, have the Court and its docket. This article updates the last comprehensive report that appeared in the "Review" on labor and employment cases decided by the Supreme Court since the Court's 1991-92 term. It covers traditional labor relations, pensions and benefits, employment discrimination, and public-sector employment.

N2  - State legislation enacted in 1996 covered several different aspects of employment standards. While the subject of minimum wage rates received much of the attention, important laws also were enacted revising prevailing wage and family leave laws, protecting employers who provide job performance information, regulating the apparel and employee leasing industries, consolidating State labor departments into larger agencies, and protecting workers from various forms of employment discrimination.

This article summarizes significant workers' compensation legislation enacted in 1996 by individual States. For example: Georgia repealed a requirement that bodily loss ratings be based on American Medical Association guidelines, while Pennsylvania increased its reliance on these measures; Maryland increased the threshold earnings test for coverage of domestic servants in a private home; and Wisconsin increased maximum weekly benefits for total disability and death to $509 for injuries occurring after January 1, 1997.

New Jersey enacted a temporary emergency unemployment benefits program, while most States established a system for withholding of Federal income tax for unemployment benefits. This article summarizes some significant changes in State unemployment insurance laws during 1996.

N2  - This paper uses data from the Luxembourg Income Study to explore the role of differences in supply shifts in explaining cross-national differences in the rise in earnings inequality. Changes in returns to age and education are estimated for eight countries using a common specification of earnings functions across years and countries. We find that the small overall increase in earnings inequality in many countries reflects large but offsetting changes in returns to skill and changes in inequality within age education cells. Furthermore, these differences in returns to skill can largely be explained by differences in supply shifts.

N2  - Earlier research has indicated that an untargeted reemployment bonus program would not be good public policy. In this paper, profiling models similar to those in state Worker Profiling and Reemployment Services systems are used to reexamine evidence from reemployment bonus experiments. The targeting of offers to the unemployment insurance (UI) claimants identified as most likely to exhaust benefits is estimated to increase cost effectiveness. However, estimated average benefit payments do not steadily decline as the eligibility screen is gradually tightened. Furthermore, targeting does not guarantee that bonus offers will be cost effective. The best candidate to emerge for a targeted reemployment bonus is a low bonus amount, with a long qualification period, targeted to the half of profiled claimants most likely to exhaust their UI benefit entitlement.

A significant contemporaneous added worker effect is found, although as much as 75 percent of the added worker effect suggested by descriptive statistics is seen to reflect sample heterogeneity.

N2  - This article examines trends in the average workweek and changes in the distribution of hours worked since the mid-l970s. It also focuses on estimates of annual work hours. Those figures are affected not only by the length of the workweek, but also by the event to which people work at all, and the number of weeks that they work during the year. Also discussed are differences between hours' data collected before and after the redesign of the Current Population Survey in 1994. Because of the effect of those changes on work-hour estimates, trend data in the article are restricted to the period through 1993.

N2  - Substantial differences in occupational employment by gender still remain, but the degree of these differences varies according to several factors such as educational attainment and age. This analysis seeks to update past research on occupational differences between the sexes by evaluating trends over the past two decades, particularly, during the period from the mid-1980s to the mid-1990s. Current patterns and changes are discussed. Analysis of aggregate levels of occupational differences using a summary measure is included. The article concludes with discussion on gender-dominated jobs.

N2  - Cold winter weather, low petroleum inventories, and high grain costs drove the increases in energy and food prices in 1996. However, decelerating prices for other goods and services contributed to record-low underlying inflation. The consumer Price Index (CPI-U) for All Items increased 3.3 percent in 1996, following a 2.5-percent advance in 1995. The 1996 rise was the highest annual rate of increase since a 6.1- percent advance in 1990. Accelerations in energy and food prices were major factors behind the rise in the overall index. Excluding food and energy prices, the (underlying) CPI-U increased only 2.6 percent.

N2  - Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth from 1987 to 1992, the determinants of training and the impact of training on job turnover are examined for young private sector workers in the United States. It is found that the receipt of company training is positively correlated with education, ability, and prior tenure at the job. The results provide only limited evidence that company training reduces turnover. There is substantial evidence, however, that training which is not financed by employers increases job mobility. The results imply that training plays an important role in the job search and job matching process among young workers.

The article also includes descriptions of recent production technology, new designs and methods of manufacturing, and market influences that could influence industry output and input. Multifactor productivity gains averaged 1.5 percent annually over the 1967-94 period. To comply with Federal legislation, the industry shifted from chlorofluorocarbons, an important input in the production process, to environmentally safer substitutes.

N2  - From 1977 to 1994, the mobile homes industry experienced very modest long-term productivity growth reflecting wide fluctuations in demand and limited investment in new capital. However, output has grown significantly in the past few years, along with consumer demand. A new measure of industry productivity from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that output per hour increased at an average annual rate of 0.6 percent between 1977 and 1994.

N2  - For more than two decades, the Bureau of Labor Statistics had collected, analyzed, and published data on labor productivity in the Federal Government. Due to budgets constraints, the Federal Productivity Measurement Program has been terminated. This article presents some of the statistics produced by the program during the 27 years of its operation. It provides a brief history and explains conceptual underpinnings of the program. Results from the program show a small, but steady increase in output per employee year in the Federal Government from 1967 to 1994, with the rate slowing somewhat after l982.

AB  - We adapt techniques from the literature on chaos and nonlinear dynamics to detect misspecification in models of serially independent data by checking for dependence between the regressors and disturbances. Our tests are nonparametric in that they determine whether the distribution of the disturbances depends on the regressors without identifying a model of dependence or the distribution of the disturbances. In Monte Carlo simulations we find that these tests have good power against dependence caused by omitted variables, incorrect functional form, heteroskedasticity, and similar problems. We also apply our tests to detect misspecification in models of income imputation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This article assesses the notion that the determinants of remittances generated by refugee flows, particularly from Communist-inspired systems, are different from those associated with labor migrations. Labor migration, by definition, involves the voluntary departure from the home country in search of better economic options, whereas refugees, including those from communist systems, depart their homelands for a combination of political and economic reasons. These differences have a major bearing on how labor migrants and refugees perceive their relationship with countries of origin. The propensity of labor migrants to dissociate themselves from the home country is considerably less than among refugees whose perceptions are mediated by opposition to the ruling regime and other factors, such as political relations between refugee-sending and refugee-receiving countries and whether or not there has been a regime change or one is expected to occur. The conceptual issues elaborated here are based on the Cuban-American experience, but also reflect an assessment of Nicaraguan emigration during the 1980s. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - Research by Bureau of Labor Statistics economists indicates that the Employment Cost Index (ECI) is not particularly sensitive to the methodology used in constructing the index. Also, because changes in the price of labor can be due to shifts in supply demand, or both, caution should be used when applying standard index number analysis to the ECI. The two aggregation issues discussed in this article are: how the various job quotes within a given cell should be combined to obtain a cell average and the way cell averages are aggregated to obtain the actual index.

N2  - The Bureau of Labor Statistics has collected some information that can be used to analyze job security in the United States. In periodic supplements to the Current Population Survey, individuals are asked about job tenure. In February 1995, the Bureau conducted the first supplement designed to obtain more information on contingent jobs and alternative employment arrangements. In this article, data from recent CPS supplements are used to examine the quality and the nature of variables that are utilized to measure job security.

AB  - While much of the evidence suggests that there was an increase in inequality in the U.S. during the 1980s, the reasons are less evident. Using the U.S. Consumer Expenditure Survey data, we find that the inequality of consumption-expenditures, as well as the inequality of other measures of resources, widened considerably during the 1980s. While previous studies suggest that increasing inequality is mainly due to increases in within group inequality, we show that by decomposing inequality by the interaction of family type and education almost three-fourths of the increase in inequality is accounted for by changes in inequality between groups and by shifts in the population.

During 1987-95, productivity, as measured by output per hour, increased 6.5 percent per year in miscellaneous general merchandise stores, and 2.7 percent per year in catalog and mail-order houses. Output also increased in both industries, rising 6.0 percent per year and 8.6 percent per year, respectively. Total employment in miscellaneous general merchandise stores fell at an average annual rate of 1.0 percent. Total employment in catalog and mail-order houses increased 5.2 percent per year.

AB  - As the principal fact-finding agency for the U.S. Federal Government in the field of labor economics and statistics, the Bureau of Labor Statistics collects, processes, analyzes and disseminates essential statistics to a diverse user community, which includes other federal agencies, state and local governments, Congress, academics and researchers and the American public. As part of the agency's mission, BLS data must satisfy a number of criteria, including timeliness, accuracy and consistently high statistical quality impartiality in both subject matter and presentation and relevance to current social and economic issues. One of the most visible products of federal action on social issues is the recently enacted Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act known as welfare reform. The impact of the law will affect not only the client population but also the nation's labor market. In considering how statistical data can aid in understanding effects of such a major program change, it is important to differentiate among roles economic statistics can play. Statistics can be and are used in developing policy and program initiatives in implementing program actions and in evaluating program results.

N2  - Demand for low-sulfur western coal has led to rising coal prices in the West. Employment in coal mining was stable in the region, in contrast to declining employment in much of the rest of the country. Appalachia is still the country's largest coal producer and employer, but a clear westward shift of coal mining is underway. Western coal has a low sulfur content, which has increased its desirability, in terms of the environment. Since 1983, the Producer Price Index has shown declines in prices received by coal producers in every region of the United States, except the West.

N2  - This article examines employment trends in the textile and apparel industries, reviewing the likely causes of both the recent historical and projected declines, their varied effects across occupational groups, and the response American producers have developed to adapt to rapidly changing economic realities. It provides an outlook of how the industry and its workers will fare in an uncertain and rapidly changing future. It projects that employment declines in the textile and apparel industries are expected to continue, but they will still provide more than 1.3 million jobs in 2005, or nearly 8 percent of all projected jobs in manufacturing.

AB  - Economic theory has long been concerned with determining the optimal pricing scheme for a multiproduct monopoly, but it has been quite difficult to make use of developments in practice. Using LECOM, the Local Exchange Cost Optimization Model, over three stylized city maps, and assuming price elasticity values taken from the literature for four standard outputs of the local exchange, we demonstrate how fully distributed cost prices, Ramsey-optimal prices, Shapley prices, and standalone prices can be computed for a variety of baseline output levels. Analysis of consumer surplus changes relative to the marginal cost baseline shows that while Ramsey pricing maximizes social welfare over the set of schemes considered, only the Shapley approach results in subsidy-free prices.

AB  - This article reports the effect that the ranges presented in answer categories for survey questions can have on respondent answers. Responses categories were manipulated in a split-ballot survey conducted in both telephone and mail modes. These categories presented in the separate ballots, overlapped in one category; the other categories were unique to each ballot. The experiment was conducted on four questions: two frequent and mundane and two rare and salient. It was found that the response categories significantly affected the response for frequent and mundane questions. One question demonstrated a significant difference in response between the mail and telephone modes. For this question, a response scale with a limited number of socially desirable alternatives resulted in a social desirability effect in the telephone mode. Alternatively, the telephone mode demonstrated an extremeness effect when the response scale comprised a greater number of socially desirable alternatives. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - Historically, economists have taken the position that psychological capital is either unobservable or unmeasurable; thus, heretofore, little evidence has been available on the contribution of psychological capital to wages. Using data drawn from two different waves of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, the authors offer evidence that psychological capital has both a direct effect--via self-esteem--and an indirect effect--through locus of control--on an individual's real wage. They find a person's wage is more sensitive to changes in self-esteem than to comparable alterations in human capital. Both relative wages and human capital contribute to self-esteem.

AB  - The fact that an employer and employee incur a loss when a trained worker changes jobs provides an incentive for on-the-job training to be selectively provided to workers who are less likely to change jobs. Consequently, if there is belated information about employees' future mobility, it may be optimal to delay training, even if doing so means forgoing the returns to training during the early part of the employment relationship. The training literature, however, assumes that training is concentrated at the beginning of the employment relationship. The authors of this paper examine the relationship between tenure and the probability of ever having received training using data from the Current Population Survey and the National Longitudinal Surveys of Youth. Their findings indicate that delayed formal training is the norm rather than the exception. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - Historically, price indexes reflective of total output for U.S. companies, such as the Bureau of Labor Statistics producer price index (PPI), were frequently used as substitutes for export price indexes. Results of a recent study show that producer price indexes remain imperfect measures of export price trends. Major conceptual and methodological differences underlie the differences between the two series.

N2  - The Bureau of Labor Statistics projection of the aggregate U.S. economy shows real gross domestic product is expected to grow at a rate of 2.1 percent per year over the 1996-2006 period. By comparison, GDP grew at an average 2.3 percent during 1986-96. Slowing GDP growth is tied to slowing labor force growth. Over the next 10 years, certain sectors of the economy will undergo dramatic growths while others will recede in importance. Exports and imports continue to be the fastest growing major components of GDP, with high-technology products leading the way.

N2  - This article describes the labor force projections, made by the Bureau of Labor Statistics for 136 age, sex, race, or Hispanic origin groups. For this article, changes in the labor force are first attributed to changes in labor force participation rates or population changes and then to the dynamics resulting from persons entering, leaving or staying in the labor force: factors that also lead to changes in the composition of the labor force. Finally, this article reviews the demographic implications of projected changes in the age composition of the labor force and population.

N2  - In the latest round of Bureau of Labor Statistics projections, the labor force grows at an annual average rate of 1.1 percent during the 1996-2006 projection period. This is a slowing in the rate of growth compared to the 1 .3-percent annual average rate of increase posted over the 1986-96 period. Overall, the rate of growth of both the labor force and GDP is slowing, but output, as measured by GDP, continues to outpace labor force growth because of productivity gains. The service-producing sector continues to lead projected employment growth.

AB  - In May 1997, a one-stop shop for US federal government statistics, FedStats <www.fedstats.gov>, was released to the public by the Office of Management and Budget. Official statistics from more than 70 federal agencies are now much easier and faster to find. Internet users can locate the statistics they need without having to know in advance the agency, or in some cases the agencies, that produce the data. The long-range goal for FedStats is to encourage the appropriate use of federal statistics, thereby helping to improve the quantitative literacy of the general public. Development of FedStats has spawned several new research initiatives. For example, library science researchers have developed a multifaceted set of methodologies to investigate design improvements for FedStats. Also, an interdisciplinary-applied research program is under development to encourage collaborative efforts that can be used by federal statistical agencies to improve the collection, analyses, and dissemination of statistical information. Over 240,000 unique visitors made over 440,000 visits to FedStats during its first six months of availability, exceeding that of all but the largest federal statistical agencies. FedStats has been widely praised in the media, the Internet community, and by many of the visitors to the site. Presents an overview of the major features and advantages of the FedStats Website.

N2  - As the economy grew in the mid-1990's, job loss declined and the rate of reemployment rose. Job losses that did occur were more widely dispersed across industries and occupations than in earlier years. This article examines the recent experience of job loss and reemployment, using data from the BLS surveys of displaced workers. The analysis uses two years of data from each of the displaced worker surveys to construct a time series that begins with the 1981-82 period (from the 1984 survey) and ends with the 1993-94 period (from the 1996 survey).

AB  - Systematic sampling is a method for selecting cases in such a way that they are distributed evenly through a series. The sampling process is bound by 2 conflicting constraints: sampling should have the advantages of systematic selection that is, observations should be spread evenly through the data stream, but at the same time, the sampling interval should not be predictable to the workers whose production is being assessed. The 2 stochastic systematic methods described in this article allow selection of cases that are separated by regular but not necessarily identical intervals. A method with linear probability thresholds defines a range of cases that are candidates for selection and chooses one, whereas a more sophisticated method uses logistic cumulative of a segment, but is nonzero at the edges. The present article will describe variations on a method for systematically sampling with a stochastic process. SAS code has been included to illustrate the process: SAS should not be hard to translate into any higher or lower level computer language.

AB  - This article uses a local-information, near-neighbor forecasting methodology as a prediction test for evidence of a noisy, chaotic data-generating process underlying the Divisia monetary-aggregate series. Using a nonparametric method known to perform well with low-dimensional chaotic processes infected by noise, accompanied by a robust test of forecast performance evaluation, we compare out-of-sample forecasting accuracy from the local-information method to forecasting accuracy from the best fitting global linear model. Our results fall to substantiate previous claims for. determinism in the Divisia monetary-aggregate series because the degree of forecast improvement obtained by the local-information method is not consistent with the hypothesis of a low-dimensional attractor underlying the Divisia data.

AB  - The article presents information on consumer price index. The recent report of the Advisory Commission appointed by the U.S. Senate Finance Committee begins with one overarching recommendation: "The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) should establish a cost-of-living index as its objective in measuring consumer prices." Indeed, the BLS has long said that the cost-of-living framework guides operational decisions about the construction of the index. Putting things slightly differently, if the BLS staff or other technical experts knew how to produce a true cost-of-living index on a monthly production schedule that would be what we would produce. Although one has no fundamental disagreement with the Commission about what the objective of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) program ought to be, one may disagree to some extent about the approaches and methods that are appropriate and feasible in working toward that objective. The first purpose in the present paper is to comment on the Advisory Commission's report and the recommendations it contains. The article will describe some of the initiatives currently underway at the BLS-some of which were undertaken before the appearance of the Advisory Commission's report, others of which are part of a CPI improvement initiative that was included as part of the President's 1998 budget proposal-which attempted to address the bias issues that were high-lighted by the Advisory Commission.

N2  - Data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth indicate that the employer often pays the explicit costs of not only on-site training but also off-site general training. Although few of these costs appear to be passed on to workers in the form of a lower wage while in training, completed spells of general training paid for by previous employers have a larger wage effect than completed spells of general training paid for by the current employer. A model where contract enforcement considerations cause employers to share the costs and returns to purely general training can explain these findings.

AB  - Compared to conventional interviewer-administered questions about attendance at religious services, self-administered items and time-use items should minimize social desirability pressures. In fact, they each reduce claims of weekly religious attendance by about one-third. This difference in measurement approach does not generally affect associations between attendance and demographic characteristics. It does, however, alter the observed trend in religious attendance over time: In contrast to the almost constant attendance rate recorded by conventional interviewer-administered items, approaches minimizing social desirability bias reveal that weekly attendance has declined continuously over the past three decades. These results provide support for the hypothesis that America has become more secularized, and they demonstrate the role of mode of administration in reducing measurement error.

AB  - Robert Axelrod's model of the spread of culture is extended to demonstrate that social interaction can function as an algorithm for optimizing cognition. Mental structures can be represented as strings of symbols that can be evaluated according to some criterion of goodness. Individuals interact with their neighbors, often resulting in patterns of similarities within and differences between regions of the population. Group-level phenomena, in turn, result in the optimization of individual structures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - Using various measures derived from the Current Population Survey, this article compares the labor market experiences of young adult workers born during the baby boom with those of their counterparts born during the baby bust. It examines labor force trends among young adults from the early 1970s to 1996. It also examines trends in real median weekly earnings and occupational employment and earnings changes. In general, the data show little evidence that the baby-bust generation has enjoyed greater labor market success than the larger baby-boom generation.

N2  - In terms of various income and expenditure measures, young single adults in 1994-95, members of "Generation X," appear to be economically worse off than were their baby-boom counterparts in either 1972-73 or 1984-85. Using data from the Interview component of the Consumer Expenditure Survey, this article analyzes differences in incomes and spending patterns to see how, if at all, these items have changed, and if today's young singles are indeed "making it on their own."

N2  - This article focuses on the services industry, which includes a broad variety of activities and has the largest share of employees in the service-producing group. While demand for services have grown tremendously as a result of demographic shifts, changes in consumer preferences, technological advancements, and increases on competitive pressures, the level and share of manufacturing jobs have declined. Some observers view employment shifts to services as shifts from "good" to "bad" jobs because average wages are higher in manufacturing than in services. However, a deeper assessment reveals that within each industry, especially in services, there is a range of job quality.

N2  - The unemployment rate fell to a twenty-eight year low in 1997. as job growth accelerated. Real earnings reached their highest level yet in the 1990s. Total nonfarm payroll employment increased by more than 3 million workers and the unemployment rate fell to 4.7 percent in the fourth quarter of 1997. This article summarizes labor market developments for 1997 and describes the economic context in which these developments occurred.

AB  - We analyze the preferences of a risk-averse seller over the class of ‘standard’ auctions with symmetric and risk-neutral bidders. Assuming that buyers' private signals are independently distributed, we find that a sealed-bid first-price auction with an appropriately set reserve price is preferred by all risk-averse sellers to any other standard auction. In first- and second-price auctions, the more risk averse a seller, the lower the seller's optimal reserve price. Given two first-price auctions with reserve prices and entry fees such that both have the same screening level, all risk-averse sellers prefer the auction with the lower entry fee.

AB  - The major statistical agencies of the federal government in the U.S. have created a publicly accessible digital library called FedStats. The library's holdings accessed by millions of people each month are stored and maintained independently by agencies across all executive departments of the U.S. government. This operation is in direct contrast with most other nations, where a single, centralized statistical agency exists. FedStats users will eventually be able to access the statistical holdings of more than 70 agencies. These independent collections contain a variety of digital materials that are generally divided into two types, text-based or numeric-based. A digital library of statistics presents a new set of challenges, particularly in the development of interfaces for information seeking and retrieval. For a statistical database to meet an extended definition of a digital library where the goal is the acquisition of knowledge, simple access to statistics must be provided. Users need additional information and tools if they are to be able to analyze and transform statistics into intelligence.

AB  - In June of 1995, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) announced plans for a comprehensive sample redesign of its monthly payroll survey. The bureau's plans called for a 2-year research effort to develop the new design, followed by a production test and then phased-in implementation if the test results were satisfactory. The Current Employment Statistics (CES) program is a federal/state cooperative establishment survey that provides monthly estimates of nonfarm payroll jobs and the hours and earnings of workers. These data are some of the most closely watched and widely used economic indicators. The existing CES sample of some 400,000 business establishments is a quota sample whose inception over 50 years ago predated the introduction of probability sampling as the standard for sample surveys. The new design is a stratified, simple random sample, where the strata are specified by state, industry, and employment size. The sampling frame, and the CES sample itself, will be updated on a quarterly basis, as each new quarter of unemployment insurance-based universe data becomes available.

AB  - This paper presents poverty estimates using thresholds derived from the 1989-1991 Consumer Expenditure Survey (CEX), and using family resources based on the 1991 panel of the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) and the March 1992 Current Population Survey (CPS). The resulting experimental poverty rates are compared to those based on the official measure. While most previous work has examined the new poverty measure exclusively using the CPS, this paper presents, for the first time, estimates from the SIPP, the survey that the Panel recommended should become the official source of poverty resource measurement. Additional estimates from the CPS from 1992-1996 are presented in order to examine the behavior of these experimental poverty rates over time. The authors' findings reveal that changes in the poverty rates based on the official and the experimental measures are similar over time. The authors show that poverty rates using SIPP data are below those using the CPS. They also show that using the experimental poverty measure yields a poverty population that looks more like the total population in terms of various demographic and socioeconomic characteristics than does the poverty population based on the current official measure.

N2  - The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) All Items for the U.S. city average increased 1.7 percent in 1997, down from a 3.3 percent advance during the prior year. The 1997 rise was the smallest annual increase since the 1.1 percent advance in 1986, when oil prices collapsed. A combination of declining energy prices and moderating food inflation contributed to last year's relatively low consumer inflation. This article examines factors underlying the slowdown in consumer prices during 1977 and compares 1997 price changes with those in 1988 through 1996.

N2  - This article discusses employer-provided training using data from September 1995. This new survey, conducted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, represents an advance in establishment-based training surveys, as it goes beyond the incidence of training to obtain estimates of the intensity of training provided by establishments. In addition to obtaining estimates of formal training, the survey collects information on the extent of informal training by interviewing randomly selected employees. Findings from the employer data indicate that the incidence of formal training tends to be higher at establishments that are larger, have lower turnover, have higher numbers of benefits, use more alternative workplace practices, and use contract workers.

N2  - This article examines the projected effect of rebasing calculations of the contributions of the components of gross domestic product to overall growth to a base year in the middle of the Bureau's 1996-2006 projection period. It finds that using the 2001 base enhances the significance of the services component of the estimates, compared with its contribution to growth calculated in 1992 dollars. Rebasing from chained 1992 to chained 2001 dollars has only minor effect on the contributions to growth of net foreign trade and government expenditures for the 1996-2006 period.

AB  - When people answer survey questions such as 'During the past month, how many times did you…?' their responses provide valuable data for researchers and policy makers. Yet the way respondents produce their answers to these behavioral frequency questions is not well understood. This article demonstrates that survey respondents can use an array of distinct estimation strategies, depending on what information is available in their memories. The kind of event information that people use is related to factors such as the regularity of occurrence, similarity of one episode to the next, and frequency. In a study conducted as a telephone survey, 106 respondents' verbal reports and response-time patterns indicate that they usually answer behavioral frequency questions by either retrieving and counting episodes, retrieving or estimating rates of occurrence, or converting a general impression of frequency into a numerical quantity. The 3rd strategy should be of particular concern to survey researchers because respondents provide a quantitative estimate without any relevant numerical knowledge. The set of strategies and the factors that influence their use are integrated into a statistical model that could help researchers to improve data quality and to broaden their perspective.

AB  - The authors estimate the extent to which establishments have adopted six alternative work organization practices. Findings from the 1993 Survey of Employer Provided Training show that some 42% of all establishments used at least one of these practices, and among establishments with 50 or more employees the figure was nearly 70%. Establishment characteristics that were positively related to the use of the practices were the recent introduction of new technology; large size; manufacturing as the primary activity; incentive-based compensation; the provision of generous benefits; and the use of extensive training. The choice of practices varied greatly among establishments, with no apparent "best practice." [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - We describe a test, based on the correlation integral, for the independence of a variable and a vector that can be used with serially dependent data. Monte Carlo simulations suggest that the test has good power to detect dependence in several models, performing nearly as well or better than the BDS test in univariate time series and complementing the BDS test in distributed lag models. Finally, we apply our test in conjunction with the BDS test to examine models of US unemployment rates.

N2  - Based an the February 1997 supplemental data from the Current Population Survey, about 12.6 million people, or 1 in 10 workers were classified into one of four alternative employment arrangements. Both the proportion and characteristics of workers in the alternative arrangements were little different from 2 years earlier. This article examines the demographic and job characteristics, earnings, and benefits of workers in each of the alternative arrangements: independent contractors, on-call workers, temporary help agency workers, and contract company employees. Comparisons are made with workers in traditional arrangements.

N2  - This article examines data on contingent work arrangements from the second special supplement to the Current Population Survey on the topic, conducted in February 1997. It finds that although the incidence of contingent work declined between 1995 and 1997, it continues to be more common among women, youth, students, part-time workers, and in the construction and services industries. However, contingent workers are found in both high- and low-skilled occupations.

AB  - This paper uses data from the Luxembourg Income Study to explore the role of differences in supply shifts in explaining cross-national differences in the rise in earnings inequality. Changes in returns to age and education are estimated for eight countries using a common specification of earnings functions across years and countries. We find that the small overall increase in earnings inequality in many countries reflects large but offsetting changes in returns to skill and changes in inequality within age education cells. Furthermore, these differences in returns to skill can largely be explained by differences in supply shifts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The article presents the text of the remarks by David M. Strauss, executive director of the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. before the American Society of Pension Actuaries on October 26, 1998, about the role of defined benefit plans in providing retirement income security for the aging population in the U.S. The challenge of providing retirement income security for the baby boom generation and others nearing retirement is one of the most compelling domestic challenges facing the country. The challenge is compelling for two reasons: the huge number of people affected, and the short time we have left to deal with the problem. I am convinced that we will never achieve the goal of retirement income security for the vast majority of people in the U.S. without a strong defined benefit system. And I am even more convinced that, if the system is to survive, it must be reinvented. With 103 million citizens concerned about retirement, the time for action is now. If we can develop credible proposals to reform the system, they will get serious consideration both within the Administration and the Congress. It is important that we succeed. The retirement security of millions of people depend on our efforts.

N2  - Data from the dairy portion of the Consumer Expenditure Surveys, and newly published results from the Diet and Health Knowledge Survey (DHKS, a national survey of nutritional attitudes conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture) are used in this article to explore whether consumer expenditures on food at home have changed to reflect nutritional attitudes. It finds that consumers are reacting to the ever-changing news about relationships of food to health, but that some demographic groups respond differently than others. The article likely represents the first time that the DHKS has been linked to another nationwide survey to investigate changing food expenditure patterns.

N2  - This article presents a review of Bureau of Labor Statistics Producer Index energy indexes by comparing them with an alternative measure of price trends. It focuses on the important price-volatile group of energy commodities, as arrayed within a stage-of-processing system (finished, intermediate, and crude) of price indexes. It finds that month-to-month changes in the PPI energy series perform well when compared with corresponding changes in alternative data sources.

AB  - In the model presented, a buyer uses competitive bidding to facilitate her purchase of a good (the primary good of the exchange). Not included in the original purchase is the possible procurement of a good related to the original purchase: the supplementary good. The primary and supplementary goods are closely related; knowing a bidder's cost of producing the primary good implies that the buyer can infer the bidder's cost of producing the supplementary good. I show that a bidding mechanism for the primary good will fail to ensure an efficient allocation if the buyer learns the bid of the winner and the price of the supplementary good is determined through sequential bargaining.

N2  - Using recent data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, this study examines the predictions of the human capital model concerning the relationship between training, starting wages, and wage growth. As implied by the model, training, particularly employer financed training, is positively related to wage growth. Company financed training also appears to be portable across jobs or to have a general component. In addition, there is some evidence that workers pay for initial training through a reduced starting wage. The results provide partial support for the human capital model.

N2  - In this paper, we examine the job stability of workers in a wide range of flexible staffing arrangements: agency temporary, direct-hire temporary, on-call, contract company, independent contractor, and regular part-time work. We draw upon two data sources in our analysis. The first is a nationwide survey of employers on their use of flexible staffing arrangements conducted by the Upjohn Institute for Employment Research. This survey provides evidence on why employers use various types of flexible staffing arrangements and the extent to which employers move workers in these positions into regular arrangements within their organization. The second data source is the Supplement to the February 1995 Current Population Survey on Contingent and Alternative Work Arrangements. Exploiting the longitudinal component of the CPS, we compare the subsequent labor market status of individuals in flexible work arrangements and those in regular full-time positions in February 1995. We find that, except for independent contractors, workers in flexible staffing arrangements have less job stability than those in regular full-time arrangements in the sense that they are more likely to switch employers, become unemployed, or involuntarily drop out of the labor force within a year. However, the degree of job stability varies considerably across arrangements. We also show that the recent growth in certain types of flexible staffing arrangements could have translated into small declines in aggregate job stability and can account for a substantial share of the modest increase in job switching observed over the last decade.

N2  - Using Consumer Expenditure Survey data, we obtain summary measures of the distributions of income and consumption for each quarter between 1980 and 1994. We find that the trends in the distribution of income and consumption and the response of these trends to changes in inflation and unemployment were similar during this period. We find that unemployment does not significantly affect the inequality measures and that inflation has a progressive effect, i.e., that a decrease in inflation is associated with an increase in inequality. Finally, we find that the relationship between inequality and macroeconomic variables during the 1990s may be similar to the relationship that existed prior to 1980.

AB  - The book 'Equal Pay in Europe? Closing the Gender Wage Gap,' by Jill Rubery, with Francesca Bettio, Marilyn Caroll, Colette Fagan, Damian Grimshaw, Friederike Maier, Sigrid Quack, and Paola Villa, is the product of a project on cross-country comparisons of women's labor market situations sponsored by the International Labour Office. It examines how different payment systems, and women's relative employment positions within these systems, contribute to gender wage gaps in three countries: Germany, Italy, and the United Kingdom. A major point is that the relative wage consequences of employment segregation by sex vary substantially across countries as a function of pay structure. By using employer-level case studies, the authors illustrate, at a micro level, the complicated roles payment systems and women's relative position within the establishment play in contributing to a gender gap in wages.

AB  - The 1998 Standard Occupational Classification was developed in response to a growing need for a universal occupational classification system. Increasingly diverse applications of occupational information have highlighted the benefits of a classification system that would allow government agencies and private industry to produce comparable data. Users of occupational data include government program managers, industrial and labor relations practitioners, students considering career training, job seekers, vocational training schools, and employers wishing to set salary scale or locate a new plant. Data collected using one classification system are often not suitable for other uses. A universal classification system would allow economists and other users to more easily analyze educational, environmental, demographic, economic, sociologic, or geographic factors that affect occupational employment and wages.

N2  - Much of the theoretical auction literature assumes that there are no observable differences between the bidders of an auction. In this paper, the author presents an asymmetric auction model where the distribution of a bidder's value depends on some commonly observed characteristics. The model is applied to joint bidding and mergers in auction markets. The results provide additional evidence that first-price auctions are less susceptible to the acquisition and exercise of market power than open auctions.

AB  - The article presents an overview of the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI). The CPI has come under intense scrutiny in recent years. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has created several experimental price indexes to assess potential differences between what the official CPI measures and how it is actually used for various purposes. The article contrasts how the CPI is currently constructed with those experimental indexes. Specifically, experimental CPI's have been constructed for two population groups, older Americans and poor Americans. In addition, experimental geometric-mean and superlative indexes have been developed that move the CPI away from its traditional fixed-market-basket concept. There are significant uses of the CPI for which parallel experimental measures cannot or have not been calculated by BLS. For example, the CPI for all urban consumers is used in the annual escalation of federal income-tax brackets and personal standard tax-exemption amounts. Although a CPI for all consumers might theoretically be better for this purpose, such a measure cannot be constructed because prices are not collected in rural areas, currently about 13% of the population.

N2  - Although the economies of Canada and the United States are closely linked, their labor markets have diverged in some respects during the 1990s. A striking difference has been in the contribution of self-employment to net job creation. This article focuses on comparing the characteristics of the self-employed and the growth of self-employment in the United States and Canada. It finds that self-employment rates have been higher in Canada than in the United States for some time, and this tendency became more pronounced during the 1990s.

N2  - This article summarizes the Consumer Price Index situation during 1998. The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) for All Items for the U.S. city average increased 1.6 percent in 1998, about the same as during the prior year when the index increased 1.7 percent. The 1998 rise was the smallest annual increase since a 1.1-percent advance in 1986, when oil prices plummeted, and the second smallest since 1964. The article presents changes in energy and food prices, items other than food and energy, and other economic measures.

N2  - Previous studies have shown that performance pay can lead to adverse incentives. In these models, high-powered incentives encourage workers to neglect some aspects of their job or to sabotage their coworkers' efforts. This paper offers another explanation for the weak link between pay and performance: worker heterogeneity. When workers are heterogeneous and labor contracts are contests, the Nash equilibrium often pools workers. The author shows that this implies that the link between pay and performance is weaker than would be the case if firms could observe workers' types before contracting and offer each type their respective optimal contests.

AB  - The Sato-Vartia index is believed to be on a par with the Fisher ideal index in terms of its ability to satisfy index number axioms or tests. Yet we show that this index fails to satisfy the monotonicity axiom, and we provide formulas for the point at which a Sato-Vartia price index becomes non-monotonic in prices. In fact, requiring monotonicity for initial as well as final prices rules out not only the Sato-Vartia index but all log-change price indexes whose weights depend upon initial or final expenditure shares. Since cost of living index theory leads naturally to the Sato-Vartia index, as well as to other log-change indexes, there is an irreconcilable tension between the standard axiomatics for indexes, and cost of living index theory.

N2  - The quality of employment outlook information presented in the Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook is very dependent on the accuracy of the Bureau's projections. This article discusses the changes in procedures used to develop projections over the past 50 years and presents data to see if the quality of the projections improved as the projection procedures changed. It concludes that significant improvements have been made in the procedures used to develop the projections. Also, broad trends in occupational employment have been projected fairly accurately, but accuracy has not increased over time.

This article provides a description of the revision process for the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system. It presents background information on the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) revision process and the work of the Economic Classification Policy Committee, much of which was emulated by the SOC committee. The article also details why the SOC was revised and describes its key characteristics.

AB  - The Current Population Survey (CPS) is used for many studies examining trends in the returns to education. The CPS changed its education item in 1992. This paper develops adjustment factors for earnings at different education levels to make pre- and post-1992 earnings comparable. To accomplish this, contradictory results from alternative data sources are analyzed and, to the extent possible, reconciled. The adjustments reduce the estimated growth in the College/High School earnings ratio between 1989 and 1993 by between 29 and 48 percent for men and between 44 and 73 percent for women.

N2  - Occupational injury and illness rates have changed notably in recent years. Restricted-activity days are becoming a more common aspect of occupational injury and illness cases at the same time that days away from work are becoming shorter and less frequent. This article presents evidence of this compositional change in occupational injuries and illnesses. Increased jobs safety and the faster return to work of injured workers may account for this phenomenon.

This article updates the lists of high-tech industries and expands the concept of high-tech employment to identify the number of workers employed in high-tech activities in 1996. It also shows high-technology employment in 1986, its projections for 2006, and it growth over the 1986-96 and -2006 periods. Information on earnings in high-tech industries and occupations also are included.

N2  - The Consumer Price Index is the most widely used measure of inflation in the United States that affects nearly all Americans. These article presents a new measure from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, called the CPI research series using current methods (CPI-U-RS), which estimates the CPI-U from 1978 to 1998, incorporating most of the improvements made over that time span into the entire series. It finds that the measured rate of inflation would have been lower since 1978 if methods currently used in calculating the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers had been in place from that year to the present.

N2  - Outsourcing from manufacturing firms has fueled some of the service sector's rapid growth. We model the firm's decision to outsource and show that increases in outsourcing may explain part of the increase in the divergence in productivity growth between manufacturing and services. We also analyze the implications of outsourcing for output and productivity growth of service industries. Our findings indicate that it has reduced service sector productivity in the short run. In contrast to earlier work on services (Baumol, W.J., 1967, Baumol, W.J., Blackman, A.B., Wolff, E.N., 1985), we project that productivity growth in services is likely to increase, once demand growth from manufacturing due to outsourcing subsides.

The primary focus of the site's early content was a method for directly assessing the Bureau's LABSTAT database, with general program overviews and frequently-asked questions as supplements. Over the first several month's of the site's operation, news releases were the only form of publication available on the site. The Data Watch catalogues what publications are available on-line through the "Publications and Research Papers" selection from the menu at the bureau's Internet site.

N2  - The Employment and Training Administration of the U.S. Department of Labor sponsors biennial surveys of worker displacement which are based on supplementary data from the Current Population Survey. This article examines the 1981-82 through 1995-96 series of workers who experience job loss and reemployment. The article also focuses on workers who lost or left jobs they had held for at least 3 years. It finds that during 1995-96, the number of workers who lost jobs declined and the proportion that was reemployed rose. Compared with the previous survey, displaced workers spent fewer weeks without work and suffered less severe earnings losses.

AB  - This article examines the mobility of individuals in the U.S. based on equivalent income of all family members. The level of income mobility in an economy is an important factor to consider in designing policies to help those at the bottom of the economic ladder. It also has a strong impact on perceptions of whether society provides the opportunity for individuals to improve their economic well-being. Though poverty is always a cause for concern, the policy implications are clearly different if the same individuals stay in poverty for long periods than if poor individuals have a good chance of making strong income gains in the future. The extent to which low-income individuals have a chance to move into the middle and upper classes and the degree to which well-off individuals face a risk of a decline in their standard of living are factors that are likely to influence the levels of motivation in society and expectations of the future. The frequent changes in the composition of families given events such as births, deaths, marriages, and divorces makes it problematic to follow a family's fortunes overtime.

N2  - Data on the ways in which people allocate their time among daily activities can be used to answer questions on a broad range of economic and sociological issues. This article lists some of the potential applications of time-use data. It examines how time-use data can help in valuing nonmarket work, verifying and interpreting existing series (hours worked or commuting, for example), or measuring real income and well-being, time spent on education and training, the effects of policy and business cycle changes, the time spent on business and legal activities, and the timing and sequence of activities.

N2  - There are many methodological considerations to take into account when designing a time-use survey. Decisions concerning reporting procedures and mode of data collection may influence data quality. Likewise, the choice of follow-up probes and the treatment of simultaneous activities can determine the amount of information available for accurate and reliable coding of activities. This article describes the methodological decisions that a Bureau of Labor Statistics working group faced when designing a possible time-use survey. It presents the methodological choices that the group made and provides the rationale for those selections.

N2  - Using data from the Employer Opportunity Pilot Project (EOPP) survey and the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY), we explicitly document the specificity and generality of employer-provided training, and we analyze how wage growth and mobility are influenced by our direct measures of specific and general training. In spite of the emphasis that labor economists have placed on specific training, we find that employers in the EOPP and workers in the NLSY indicate that most of the skills learned in training are useful elsewhere. Our results are consistent with several recent models that predict that employers will often extract some of the returns to the general training they provide.

N2  - The separation between commercial and investment banking in the United States has been continually eroded since the 1980s through changes in banking regulations. However, for a long time the continuous efforts to abolish or amend the legislation that dates from the 1929 world depression has limited and led to a failure of the opportunity for commercial banks to underwrite, purchase, and sell securities. This study will attempt to demonstrate how regulations and deregulation can affect the different financial intermediaries in the United States.

N2  - Rapidly changing consumer electronic goods present particular difficulties when compiling a constant quality CPI. In this study, the hedonic technique is used to estimate (implicit price) values for VCR characteristics, and these estimates are used to quality-adjust VCR prices changes when a new VCR model replaces an older model in the CPI sample. It finds that the use of the hedonic technique has reflected minimal index impact when these quality-adjusted price changes were included for index estimation.

AB  - 'Unequal Pay for Women and Men: Evidence From the British Birth Cohort Studies,' by Heather Joshi and Pierella Paci with Gerald Makepeace and Jane Waldfogel, is a well-written, systematic study of trends in and possible determinants of gender wage differentials in the United Kingdom. Much of the analysis focuses on individuals in two cohorts, one born in 1946 and one born in 1958; both were surveyed in their early thirties. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - In 1998, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) released price level data and measures for 1996, as part of the Eurostat-OECD purchasing power parity program. The purpose of this program is to compare economic data across countries without using the exchange rates. Purchasing power parities measure relative price level differences for one time period across countries. This article analyzes the 1996 Eurostat-OECD purchasing power parities study, which covers 32 countries, including all of the current 29 member countries of the OECD, except one (Korea), plus four additional countries (Israel, Russian Federation. Slovak Republic, and Slovenia).

AB  - This paper examines completion of four-self administered questionnaires (SAQ) in the 1992 National Health and Social Life Survey (NHSLS), a large national personal-visit survey on sexual behaviors and attitudes in the United States. Based on interviewer reports, only 66% of respondents self-administered all four SAQs, while 15% self-administered nono of them, and 20% did some of the SAQs themselves. Three factors that may affect the decision to self-administer the SAQs were explored: (a) capacity, (b) motivation, and (c) question sensitivity. Support was found for the  capacity hypothesis, suggesting that literacy is a factor in the self-completion decision. Stranger support for the motivation hypothesis was found, with reluctant respondents being less likely to complete the SAQs themselves. Regarding the sensitivity hypothesis, the decision  to self-administer doe not appear to be affected by the behaviors engaged in by respondents, or by the perceived sensitivity of these behaviors. However, the responses to the SAQ items themselves differ systematically by whether the SAQ was self-completed  or done with the assistance  of the interviewer. These findings suggest it is important to measure who completes the SAQ, and to attemp to maximize the self-completion of SAQs in surveys. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article describes the labor force in 128 age, sex, race or Hispanic origin groups. it discusses labor force changes, which are attributed to changes in labor force participation rates or to population changes. It examines changes in the labor force based on the dynamics resulting from persons entering, leaving or staying in the labor force. It also reviews demographic implications of projected changes in the age composition of the labor force and population.

N2  - According to the projections prepared by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the services and retail trade industry divisions will account for nearly three-fourths of all new jobs from 1998-2008. Real output is expected to expand by nearly $4.7 trillion between 1998 and 2008, while total employment is project to increase by 20.3 million over the same period. The goods-producing sector is projected to experience strong growth of output, but limited employment growth, over the projected period. The majority of growth in total employment is attributed to the projected increase of 19.4 million nonfarm wage and salary jobs.

N2  - This article reviews historical labor force statistics to determine how the labor force has changed and which factors have affected its compositional changes between 1950 and 1998. It focuses on the labor force trends of men and women. The article also discusses projected changes in the labor force from 2015 to 2025 among women and men by age, race, and ethnic origin, caused by the changing demographic composition of the population. Historical data for this series are from the Current Population Survey, 1947-98, conducted by the Bureau of the Census for the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

N2  - More than 41 million women worked full time at wage and salary jobs in 1998 and their median weekly earnings were $456. Over the past 20 years. women's real earnings rose while those of men declined; even as the gender-gap shrank. However, earnings differences between white women and black and Hispanic women continued to grow. The article examines current earnings levels of women and trends in such earnings since 1979. The scope of the review is limited to the median weekly earnings data for full-time wage and salary workers from the Current Population Survey--conducted by the Bureau of the Census for the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

AB  - Particle swarm theory suggests that both minds and cultures are effects of local social interaction. This paper proposes a social-psychological view of intelligence as immerging from culture, which emerges from social interaction. A framework for the depiction of mental states is presented, and the optimizing effect of social interaction is demonstrated. Simulated beings called eleMentals are shown to be able to find optimal regions in their NK-landscape minds through an algorithm comprising two terms: a 'Law of Effect' term that represents reinforcement learning, or learning from experience, and a social influence term. The model is consistent with social-psychological data and theory, and the results support a hypothesis that human sociality may be in part responsible for human intelligence.

AB  - In the book, 'Who's Not Working and Why: Employment, Cognitive Skills, Wages, and the Changing U.S. Labor Market,' Frederic L. Pryor and David L. Schaffer seek to document and explain the declining employment rate of less educated men. Because employment trends likely relate to other important labor market changes, the analysis extends beyond the employment phenomenon. The resulting work forms a practical guide to some of the major labor market trends of the past 30 years: changing employment patterns by gender and education, changing occupational distributions, rising education levels, and rising wage inequality.

AB  - This article examines how establishment births and deaths contribute to job creation, job destruction, and net employment growth at different frequencies of measurement. The longitudinal data are constructed from quarterly unemployment-insurance microdata from the state of West Virginia and are essentially a census of establishments in all industries. Defining establishment births and deaths is an exercise in how to use cross-sectional administrative data for longitudinal research purposes. The analysis of job flows indicates that establishment births and deaths account for about 19% of quarterly job creation and destruction and well over half of triennial job creation and destruction.

AB  - Abroad consensus on the employer-employee relationship has developed in the United States over the last 60 years. The consensus begins with a recognition that market processes, including labor markets, have created enormous wealth, but that markets are not perfect, self-regulating mechanisms. After all, the human resource, or labor, is more than simply a factor of production. Human resources are people who have needs, aspirations, hopes, and fears, and who have personal lives as well as work lives. Labor, management, and the public are in broad agreement that measures must be taken to influence certain aspects of the economic outcomes produced by the labor market, even when they disagree at times over the specifics of those measures. The elements of the consensus on worker protection as it has evolved over time are embodied in an implicit social contract, secured in many labormanagement agreements, and codified in the laws and regulations administered by federal, state, and local authorities. Wages, salaries, and benefits are the main incentives that spur workers to help their employers achieve success in the marketplace. However, the broad acceptance of the social arrangements concerning worker protection help to explain why the great majority of workers are firmly committed to the success of their employer, and why so many workers are willing to go above and beyond minimum performance requirements to assure the success of the business enterprise. As the new century begins, it is useful to consider the challenge for worker protection policies in the years ahead. Clearly, the challenge will be framed by the demographic and economic changes that are influencing the American workforce. Because of these changes, government workforce protection policies will be as relevant to the maintenance and improvement of the American standard of living and quality of work life in the decades ahead as they were when they emerged as national policies two generations ago.

AB  - As part of ongoing work to understand citizen needs for statistics and to improve how statistics can be made more accessible and usable, a highly interactive tool for exploring the structure and content of US government statistical sites was developed and tested. Describes a tool that allows people to browse several characteristics of federal statistical data contained in 200 Websites before committing to any specific site. Provides a brief framework for the problems of overload and diverse user communities, describes the design process used in developing a prototype solution, reports results from a usability study of the Relation Browser tool, and offers recommendations for comparable applications of the tool.

AB  - This article does multiple duty. Thus, it generates a substantial panel (N = 24) of planned change applications at the politics/administration interface, describes them and estimates their success rates. In addition, the panel is used to test--or better said, to probe--eight working rules-of-thumb for practice that are commonly accepted in the literature of planned change. Overall, the panel provides only mixed support for the relevance of these guides for applications of planned change at the politics/administration interface. So much the more for "common opinion"!

N2  - Unemployment compensation in the United States is provided through a federal-state system of unemployment insurance (UI). UI provides temporary partial wage replacement to active job seekers who are involuntarily out of work. For older workers, UI is an important source of income security and a potential influence on work incentives. For many, the transition from full-time work in a career job to retirement is voluntary and orderly. For others, job displacement greatly disrupts plans. The transition often involves many intermediate steps. The chain of transitions may include full-or part-time work on another job which most often is not in the same industry and occupation (a bridge job). There may also be movement between bridge jobs, perhaps back from a bridge job to a career job, and finally a gradual movement into full retirement while out of the labor force. Many issues at the forefront of current UI policy debate are also issues of prime importance to those in the second half of their working life. Issues occur in all the standard areas of UI policy: coverage, eligibility, benefit adequacy, duration of benefits, work incentives, benefit financing, and interaction with other programs. This paper provides a brief background sketch of the labor market situation of older workers to examine issues of prime concern to older workers in these areas of UI policy. Our survey of policy issues suggests that changes in UI rules concerning, initial eligibility, continuing eligibility, wage replacement, and partial benefits should all be examined to evaluate effects on the likely employment patterns of older workers. Particular attention should be given to UI features affecting the choice of self-employment, part-time work, seasonal work, and agricultural jobs. The financing consequences of possible UI program changes should also be estimated, as should the macroeconomic impact of broadening recipiency. UI program features which would promote flexible and extended labor force participation by older workers should also enrich the employment choice environment for other workers. Therefore, it would be useful to examine the impact of such program changes on UI as a built-in stabilizer of aggregate expenditures. While younger workers are usually committed to long-term participation in the labor force, older citizens are often more flexible in choosing to use their time. Worsening labor shortage conditions in the United States mean that efforts to retain older workers in the labor force will intensify. The current and potential influence of UI on the income security and labor force participation of older workers should be well understood.

N2  - As the U.S. economy entered its ninth year of expansion in 1999, the unemployment rate hit a 30-year low. Service led the job growth, and the recent downward trend in manufacturing employment abated in the second half of the year. This article provides snapshots of several important developments or issues related to the U.S. economy and labor market in 1999. The primary sources of data are the Current Employment Statistics (CES) survey of establishments and the Current Population Survey (CPS) of households.

N2  - In order to distinguish the underlying employment trends from the effects of Census 2000 hiring, the affected employment estimates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics Current Employment Statistics (CES) survey must be adjusted in each month in which intermittent census employees are hired. As the size of the population has increased, it has taken more employees to conduct the census. To account for the anticipated 118 million housing units in the United States and 275 million people projected in the 2000 population, according to the Bureau of the Census, more than half a million census takers and support personnel will be needed.

N2  - During the economic expansion of the 1990s, employers in manufacturing industries were more likely than in previous recessions to increase overtime hours among existing employees than to hire new workers. From March 1991 to early 1997, average weekly overtime in manufacturing increased by 1.6 hours, reaching 4.9 hours--the highest since the initial publication in 1956. Overtime remained near this level during 1997-98, but retreated slightly at the end of the year. This article analyzes the striking growth in overtime from March 1991 to January 1998 and its relationship to employment. The data are from the Bureau of Labor Statistics Current Employment Statistics (CES) survey.

N2  - Do workers with similar skills in similar occupations receive similar wages across occupations? Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) survey are used to investigate wage differences among industries and reveal that occupations that are most closely related to the primary mission of the firm have the greatest differential. The results of this analysis suggest that interindustry wage differentials might reflect a motivational role in the use of higher wages. OES data are useful for investigating wage differences among industries because the data provide high levels of both occupation and industrial detail.

N2  - This article identifies some of the difficulties that are inherent in collecting detailed information on health and retirement benefits using two surveys--the household-based Current Population Survey (CPS) and the establishment-based Employee Benefits Survey (EBS). The CPS, which is jointly conducted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Census Bureau, is a good source for locating demographic information on persons covered by benefits. The EBS, conducted by the BLS, provides more detailed information on the benefits themselves. Hence, the two surveys are complementary, and allow policymakers, academicians, and other researchers to gain a fuller understanding of the type of information necessary when studying and formulating agenda on health and public-policy issues.

N2  - Wage and salary employment grew substantially over the decade 1989 to 1999, with nearly all the growth concentrated among high- and low-paid workers. The strongest job growth occurred in the highest earnings group; workers with midlevel wages experienced scant employment growth. Notably, workers in the lowest-earnings group experienced the most pronounced growth of all three categories. Research uncovered little correlation between those occupations and industry categories that grew the fastest in terms of employment and those that registered rising wages. Some categories exhibited strong growth in both employment and earnings; others showed divergent employment earnings trends; and still others showed declines in both employment and earnings. These types of differences were pervasive throughout the range of detailed occupations-industry categories analyzed.

N2  - This article explains changes that have occurred in the aviation industry economy throughout the last 40 years. In commercial aviation, for example, fares have declined, labor productivity has increased, and output and employment have increased vastly. Certain factors, such as at least some improvement in safety, general economic growth, and increased international trade have endured from the regulatory period to the free-market period and have continued to contribute to the growth of the industry. Data are from the BLS Current Employment Statistics establishment survey, records from the Air Transport Association, statistics and other data from the U.S. Departments of Transportation and Commerce, and a considerably broad collection of research published by academia and others. The result is a narrative history and a detailed analysis of the air transport industry in the United States.

AB  - This study contrasts 2 interviewing techniques that reflect different tacit assumptions about communication. In one, strictly standardized interviewing, interviewers leave the interpretation of questions up to respondents. In the other, conversational interviewing, interviewers say whatever it takes to make sure that questions are interpreted uniformly and as intended. Respondents from a national sample were interviewed twice. Each time they were asked the same factual questions from ongoing government surveys, 5 about housing and 5 about recent purchases. The 1st interview was strictly standardized; the 2nd was standardized for half the Ss and conversational for the others. Ss in a 2nd conversational interview answered differently than in the first interview more often, and for reasons that conformed more closely to official definitions, than Ss in a second standardized interview. This suggests that conversational interviewing improved comprehension, although it also lengthened interviews. It was concluded that Ss in a national sample may misinterpret certain questions frequently enough to compromise data quality and that such misunderstandings cannot easily be eliminated by pretesting and rewording questions alone.

AB  - Although a number of surveys now measure employee training, serious gaps remain in our knowledge of such fundamental matters as how much training takes place, who provides it, and who gets it. The authors explore these questions using the 1995 Survey of Employer-Provided Training, which, because it collected data from employers as well as employees, enables a more complete analysis of the correlates of training than has been possible before. While there are some differences across the measures of training incidence and intensity, the authors find that establishments that provided generous benefits to their employees and used innovative workplace practices also provided more training.

AB  - We look at the survival rate of defined-benefit pension plans with at least 500 participants over the period 1987-1995. We find that termination in favor of defined-contribution plans is a rare event and that the vast majority of these plans survive, albeit often under a different plan sponsor or in a new merged plan. Indeed, the frequency of mergers is an important feature in the pension market and partially explains the growing number of large defined-benefit plans. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - This annual article summarizes the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) for All Items for the United States. Primarily, it presents the percent change over time for selected categories of the CPI-U for 1999 and prior years, 1990-98. For the year ending 1999, consumer prices accelerated slightly, mainly as a result of a rise in gasoline prices, but core inflation (that measured by excluding food and energy prices) remained at a 34-year low.

N2  - Both the elderly and children are experiencing improvements in health status, but do not share the same increases in economic well-being. This article compares many of the socioeconomic indicators for children from infancy to 18 years of age, and for the elderly, aged 65 and older, using selected years between 1980 and 1998. Its primary source of information is from the report, America's Children: Key National Indicators of Well-Being, 1999, published by the Federal Interagency Forum on Child and Family Statistics, Washington, DC. The article shows the socioeconomic status of the two age groups in a particular year and also compares the changes that have occurred since 1980. The focus is on population, economic security, health status, behavior and social environment, and education. The author finds that while, in some ways, the elderly are better off than children, the children have a bright future to look forward to as older Americans.

N2  - A major demographic change affecting the United States today is the increasing average age of the population, with this trend expected to continue for the next several years. This article examines the spending patterns of Americans aged 65 and older, by analyzing expenditure trends for different age groups within the older population, and presents experiments to test whether tastes and preferences differ over time for older consumers. The data are from the 1984-97 Consumer Expenditure Surveys. The fact that older consumers account for an increasing share of total expenditures is to be expected, as this group is increasing as a percentage of the population. Spending trends reveal an interesting pattern: although older consumers spend different amounts than younger consumers, the trends are generally similar for both groups.

N2  - Families receiving public assistance differ from other families not only demographically, but also in the way they spend. This article summarizes the demographic characteristics and expenditure patterns of families receiving public assistance. The results are based on responses to the Interview survey component of the Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Expenditure Survey, conducted in 1998. The author finds that families receiving public assistance are demographically heterogeneous, as are their spending patterns; those receiving four or more types of assistance, on average, have the most number of members and children under age 18, and are most likely headed by a female single parent who did not or has not graduated from high school, and who most likely live in rented quarters. As the number of assistance programs these families receive increases, the more they allocate their budget shares toward basis necessities--food, housing, and clothing.

N2  - The restaurant business is clearly one of the most important industries in the United States today, regardless of the economic measure used. This article examines the phenomenon of eating meals away from home and looks at the types of meals purchased and the demographic characteristics of those buying the meals. It employs data from the Consumer Expenditure Survey. Logistic regression analyses are used to identify which demographic characteristic is actually related to the probability of purchasing meals away from home. The author finds that lunch is the most frequently purchased meal away from home, and that income, age, and ethnicity appear to be the most important factors in predicting probability of meals purchased away from home.

AB  - Explored underlying differences between self- and proxy reports and determining whether proxy reporters process and retrieve information the same way self-reporters do. In 2 studies, participants recorded their own and a target person's incidental purchases for 2 wks and then returned, either immediately or 1-wk after the diary-keeping period, for 2 recall tests. In Study 1, 45 volunteers (mean age of 38.5 yrs) participated. The data indicate that proxies tend to recall more typical events than do self-reporters immediately following the diary-keeping period. However, after a delay of 1 wk, both proxy and self-reporters tended to report typical items. These findings suggest that, at least initially, self- and proxy reporters process the information differently but that after 1 wk they process it similarly. Study 2 employed a method that was identical to that of Study 1 except that participants (50 married couples mean age of 49 yrs) were given a recognition test. The verbal protocols from the recognition test indicate that participants used different strategies to determine who made the purchase. Whereas participants focused on perceptual details surrounding the event when identifying their own purchases, proxies engaged in various strategies to identify their spouses' purchases.

AB  - Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and Affirmative Action apply most forcefully to large employers. The laws' focus on large employers implies that if Title VII and Affirmative Action were effective, then large employers should have increased their relative employment of blacks and women in the years following their institution. The authors show blacks and women did, in fact, move to larger employers after 1964. The authors also estimate that the move to large employers accounted for roughly 15 percent of aggregate black/white wage convergence over the 1965-80 period. Thus, whatever its cause, blacks' movement to large employers was an important part of black economic progress after 1964. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - This article examines the adjustments that are necessary when comparing international unemployment rates with those of the United States. In addition to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, three other organizations also adjust national data on unemployment to a common conceptual basis: the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the International Labor Office, and the Statistical Office of the European Communities. The resulting "standardized" or "harmonized" rates are intended to provide a better basis for international comparison than the national figures on unemployment offer. Specific surveys used are from the U.S. Current Population Survey, the Canadian Labor Force Survey, and the European Eurostat concepts from the Community Labor Force Survey. The analysis in this article indicates that the U.S. unemployment rate in the late 1990s really was lower than the European and Canadian unemployment rates, whether looked at from U.S., Canadian, or European concepts.

N2  - Flexible work hours have gained in prominence in the United States, as more than a quarter of all workers can now vary their schedules; however, there has been little change in the proportion who work a shift other than a regular daytime shift. Using data from the May 1997 supplement to the Current Population Survey, the author examines the incidence and trends in flexible work hours and alternative shift work, and also, the relationship between the jobs in which people work and the prevalence of these digressions from the more traditional "9-to-5" workday. While the proportion of workers who now work a flexible schedule has been increasing, the incidence of shift work itself has not changed since the mid-1980s. Service occupations had sizable gains, but without these gains, the overall proportion of workers on shift work would have actually decreased in recent years.

AB  - This article describes how career development programs became the focus of an international partnership between the United States and Canada. Beginning in 1976 in the United States, the National Occupational Information Coordinating Committee (NOICC) and its State Occupational Information Coordinating Committees (SOICCs) developed training and materials that promote the use of occupational and labor market information. Similarly, in the early 1970s, Canada began to explore the feasibility of creating a computer‐based career information delivery system. What follows is the story of an unusual and significant international collaboration. It concludes with identification of lessons learned. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2017 APA, all rights reserved)

N2  - This article looks at the occupations and industries likely to be most affected when the oldest baby-boomers (those persons born directly after World War II, beginning in 1946) begin retiring,. As aging boomers begin retiring, the effects on the overall economy and on certain occupations and industries will be substantial, creating a need for younger workers to fill the vacated jobs, many of which require relatively high levels of skill. Data are from the Current Populations Survey and also from the Bureau of Labor Statistics projections program. The research covers the period from 1998-2008,with extrapolations into 2018, when all but the youngest baby-boomers will be of retirement age. The pool of workers will be smaller, but changes to Social Security and the increased use of defined contribution pension plans, a healthier older population continuing to work, and projected increases in immigration all may serve to ameliorate the boomers' exodus from the labor force.

N2  - This article examines the number of hours workers in the United States spend at their paying jobs per week. It uses data from both the Current Population Survey (CPS), or "household" survey and the Current Employment Statistics (CES) program survey, known as the "establishment" or "payroll" survey. The CPS shows that there has been little change in average weekly hours worked, but the data from the CES survey show a long-term downward trend in the average length of the workweek itself. While the data appear to provide a conflicting story, they use different sources of information, which results in a variation in the type of data gathered. The author finds that the decline in the workweek in private industry, as measured by the CES survey, can be attributed to the combination of disproportionate employment growth and low and declining hours in retail trade and services.

N2  - This article compares the employment history of cable and other pay television services with that of radio and television broadcasting; and reviews some of the more significant regulatory and economic changes that have occurred over the period. The author concludes that as the television industry matured over the last 50 years, technological improvements, increased demand for video programming, and the easing of some regulations helped shift employment from broadcast television to cable and other pay television services. Employment in the radio and television broadcasting industry has grown immensely since 1958; and since 1972, pay television and other communications have added even more jobs. Employment data are from the Bureau of Labor Statistics Current Employment Statistics program, also known as the "establishment" survey and other relevant industry sources.

N2  - This article focuses on the job-search activity of employed wage and salary workers who used active search methods to look for a new job. The article examines whether any trends have emerged in the proportion of workers actively seeking new jobs in February 1995, 1997, and 1999. It then turns to how different characteristics of workers--such as sex, age, earnings, health and retirement benefits coverage, educational level, tenure with current employer, job security, occupation, industry, and union membership--relate to workers' likelihood to seek new jobs. Data are from the Current Population Survey. This research indicates that as unemployment fell and employment rose, the job-search rate of the employed declined, although many employed persons continued to search for new jobs.

N2  - This article examines the role that employed and nonemployed teenagers play in family expenditures. It specifically looks at the percentage of teenagers who are employed and not employed and the characteristics of each, using income level as a gauge. This is because children from low-income families may be more likely to contribute to family economic well-being than children from nonlow-income families. In addition, the association of teen employment with major family expenses is analyzed by testing whether teen employment is associated with more or less money spent on certain types of expenses, while controlling for other factors. Data are from the interview component of the 1997-98 Consumer Expenditure Survey, which is collected by the Census Bureau for the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The research concludes that approximately one-third of all teenagers were employed to some extent during 1997-98; however, many of those working teens did not seem to work to contribute to family necessities.

N2  - This article summarizes a panel session convened by the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) during its 1999 Summer Institute. It consists primarily of the edited remarks of several noted U.S. economists, who met and discussed the background of the consumer price data collection and price index statistics. The article includes these economists' opinions on future research agenda, and presents their collective belief that such research should merit the highest priority over the next two decades. It also outlines proposals to research not merely the Bureau of Labor Statistics' price index programs, but the more general issues of understanding prices and the cost of living.

AB  - Many recent empirical investment studies have found that the investment of financially constrained firms responds strongly to cash flow. Paralleling these findings is the disappointing performance of the q theory of investment: even though marginal q should summarize the effects of all factors relevant to the investment decision, cash flow still matters. We examine whether this failure is due to error in measuring marginal q. Using measurement error-consistent generalized method of moments estimators, we find that most of the stylized facts produced by investment-q cash flow regressions are artifacts of measurement error. Cash flow does not matter, even for financially constrained firms, and despite its simple structure, q theory has good explanatory power once purged of measurement error. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - This article reports the results of additional research on the "replicate estimate" approach to investigate job coverage in average hourly earnings. The authors use earnings, hours, and detailed information on the types of jobs from the BLS employer costs for employee compensation program. Data from this program can produce earnings and employment estimates that are measured similarly to those produced for the average hourly earnings series. This article compares average earnings levels (in dollars per hour) for these employer costs for employee compensation replicates with the actual average hourly earnings series over the March 1988 to September 1999 period. The authors' primary findings reveal the earnings estimates produced by the employer costs for employee compensation replicates of average hourly earnings correspond fairly closely to the actual average hourly earnings series.

N2  - This paper replicates and extends Solon's (1992) article "Intergenerational Income Mobility in the United States." The results confirm previous findings about the degree of transmission in earnings and consumption from fathers to sons. The correlation between fathers' and sons' earnings lies in the neighborhood of 0.4 and the correlation in consumption is larger. Using the sons' outcomes when they are 5 years older does not alter the estimates of the correlation in earnings, but the estimates of the correlation in consumption are smaller and closer to the estimates of the correlation in earnings. The estimates that use consumption data are sensitive to whether sons' 1984 or 1989 outcomes are used and to whether one adjusts for family size and structure.

N2  - This article presents an analysis of employment and unemployment in Mexico, focusing on the employment side, but including some information on the wage trend. It also updates a 1994 Monthly Labor Review article on the same topic. It presents recent calculations of Mexico's unemployment rates under U.S. concepts, and updates Mexico's complementary unemployment indicators that cover aspects of the country's employment situation missed by the unemployment rate. It also examines the importance of the informal sector in Mexico over a longer time period and under a wider range of economic conditions than did the previous article, as improvements in Mexico's labor data, since 1994, are able to be used to enrich the analysis. The author finds conventionally measured employment continued to grow despite a substantial drop in measured output in 1995, which may be attributed to the role of the informal sector in Mexico's economy.

N2  - This article provides an empirical analysis of the differences between the plutocratic (the relative levels of total expenditure provide the weights) and democratic (in which each household's expenditure pattern is equally weighted) price indices, using data from the Consumer Expenditure Survey (CEX) and the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the 1987-97 period. Each approach for constructing an aggregate price index incorporates different normative assumptions about the well-being of U.S. households; neither one, however, is favored by economic theory. Despite this, these two scenarios do provide some information on the sensitivity of the differences between the plutocratic and democratic indices, such as in extreme instances of rapid price change among goods that are inelastic in demand.

N2  - This article looks at the 1990s as they manifested themselves in the employment, hours, and earnings statistics. The long economic expansion fueled job growth during the period, while new technology had mixed effects: after the 1990-91 recession, overall employment began a sustained period of growth. The long expansion was not evenly distributed, however, and there was a continuing divide between the goods-producing and service-producing sectors of the economy. The authors conclude, however, that a degree of convergence existed throughout the decade in terms of earnings. Average hourly earnings in some service-producing industries--wholesale trade and finance, insurance, and real estate--actually moved higher than those in manufacturing by the decade's end.

N2  - This article presents a summary of State labor legislation for the year 2000. In 2000, 42 States and Puerto Rico enacted new laws. The volume of such legislation was lighter than in recent years. Six State legislatures did not meet in regular session and some States met only for budget purposes. Despite this lower volume, there were clusters of activity in some important labor standards areas, namely, increases in minimum wage rates, overtime requirement changes, bans on employment discrimination, child labor protections, and protection from workplace harassment and violence.

N2  - This article presents a summary of changes in workers' compensation laws for the year 2000. About half of the 50 States changed these types of laws to some extent, with most legislatures increasing benefits for both disability and death. A number of States focused on improving coverage by extending presumptions of coverage for certain diseases suffered by law enforcement officers or firefighters, or both. Also, one State established an Uninsured Employers' Fund to ensure the timely provision of benefits to workers injured during periods when an employer has no insurance.

N2  - This article presents a summary of changes in unemployment insurance laws for the year 2000. Two Federal legislative enactments affected the Federal-State unemployment insurance program. Also, the U.S. Department of Labor issued the Birth and Adoption-Unemployment Compensation final rule, effective August 14, 2000. Other changes included increases for States' maximum weekly benefit amounts for awards of unemployment insurance, and changes to the voluntary quit provision for a separation from work in situations caused by domestic abuse. Another significant change in three States included a change in reference from the Standard Industrial Classification System to the North American Industry Classification System.

AB  - Examined whether particular children in a particular family situation would fare better if the parents were to stay together or split up. The sample for this analysis was drawn from the 1st round of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, 1997 Cohort (NLSY97). Outcome measures included GPA in the 8th grade and indicator variables for certain negative behaviors: whether the youth smoked cigarettes, drank alcohol, or smoked marijuana on at least 2 days in the last month, had been arrested 2 or more times, and had sex with 3 or more partners ever. Information about the family structure was obtained from the parent interview. It was found that children living in nonintact families earn lower grades in school and exhibit a greater propensity to engage in problem behaviors in their teen years. Even after controlling for income and mother's education, NLSY97 youths living in nonintact families were up to 120% more likely to use marijuana regularly and 250% more likely to have been arrested 2 or more times.

N2  - This article presents several important developments or issues related to the U.S. economy and labor market in 2000. The primary sources of data are the Current Employment Statistics (CES) survey and the Current Population Survey (CPS). The authors note that the Nation's current economic expansion entered its 10th year in 2000, making it the longest expansionary period on record, but by the end of the year, signs emerged that the rate of expansion was slowing. At the same time, unemployment edged down to a 31-year low, although job growth slowed a bit in the second half of the year.

N2  - This article presents a review of the procedures that BLS uses to produce international productivity comparisons, along with the methods used by each country's statistical agencies to compile the underlying data used by BLS. In general, the methods used, by both the United States and Canada, to construct the components of output per hour are quite similar. Where differences do exist, they do not appear to be substantially affecting measured differences in productivity growth over the period of interest, with some tending toward reducing the gap, and others, increasing the gap. Also noted: both countries revised their methods in 2000, leading to increased comparability for some methods between the data series. The authors concluded that the United States held the advantage over Canada in manufacturing productivity growth during the 1990s, which was led by dramatic growth in information-technology-related industries, and it does not appear to be significantly affected by the use of different statistical methods by the two countries.

N2  - We show that if firms statistically discriminate among young workers on the basis of easily observable characteristics such as education, then as firms learn about productivity, the coefficients on the easily observed variables should fall, and the coefficients on hard-to-observe correlates of productivity should rise. We find support for this proposition using NLSY79 data on education, the AFQT test, father's education, and wages for young men and their siblings. We find little evidence for statistical discrimination in wages on the basis of race. Our analysis has a wide range of applications in the labor market and elsewhere.

AB  - Although child poverty rates continue to surpass those of others, there is growing consensus that current official poverty measure has become outdated and flawed. Using data from the Current Population Survey and Survey of Income and Program Participation, we implement an experimental poverty measure based on recommendations by a National Academy of Sciences panel. We find that while child poverty rates continue to surpass those of others, the gap between child and adult poverty rates is smaller under the experimental measure. Results highlight the impact of noncash government benefits and the Earned Income Tax Credit in reducing child poverty. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - This article discusses the results of the February 1999 Contingent and Alternative Work Arrangements Supplement to the Current Population Survey, including an examination of the characteristics of contingent workers and the jobs they hold, and their earnings and employee benefits. The analysis focuses on those who come under the heading of the survey's broadest measure of contingent workers, that is, individuals who do not have an explicit or implicit contract for long-term employment. The author finds that despite the strong labor market, the incidence of contingent work changed little between 1997 and 1999, and characteristics of contingent workers are similar to those of earlier surveys.

N2  - This article examines several issues relating to job quality and how or if it has changed since earlier surveys conducted in 1995 and 1997. It focuses on workers in alternative arrangements, rather than people who work in the more traditional and structured salaried or wage earning jobs. Four types of alternative work arrangements are discussed: 1) independent contractors, 2) workers provided by contract companies, 3) on-call workers, and 4) temporary help agency workers. The article uses data from the 1999 Contingent and Alternative Work Arrangements supplement to the February Current Population Survey. The author finds that characteristics of individuals employed in such work arrangements in 1999 were similar to those of 1995 and 1997; however, the proportion of these workers, who prefer such arrangements has increased since the mid-1990s.

AB  - The contact hypothesis (G. W. Allport, 1954) states that cooperative contact with individual members of an out-group can lead to a general more positive attitude toward the out-group as a whole. The research reported in this article investigated the validity of the contact hypothesis within the context of interage interactions. Specifically, the study examined the relationship between young adults' contact with older adults and their attitudes toward the elderly in general. The authors hypothesized that a single factor, Ss' self-reported quality of contact with older individuals, would be related to their attitudes toward the elderly as measured by an implicit attitude scale. Ss' self-reported frequency of contact with older adults was expected to have no effect on their attitudes. 62 college-aged Ss were given a single questionnaire that assessed (1) the frequency and quality of their contact with elderly men and women and (2) their implicit attitudes toward the elderly. The results confirmed that self-reported favorable quality, but not frequency, of contact was significantly related to more positive attitudes toward the elderly.

AB  - This paper examines what it means to be a supervisor, in terms of the associated responsibilities--their nature, who is likely to have them, and how they affect wages. The author examines data from a new series of questions on aspects of supervision included in the 1996 wave of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979. The results indicate that the wage returns to being a supervisor are not associated with simply having supervisory 'status' or a supervisory title, per se, but rather with having associated upper-level supervisory responsibilities. Women were less likely than men to attain supervisory status, and once they did so they were slightly less likely to have higher-level supervisory responsibilities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - The fundamental contribution of the paper is to contest the view that reducing barriers to entry cannot retard market performance when firm rivalry is productive. In a model of employee entry, we demonstrate that a reduction in barriers to entry causes no fall in industry price when incumbents are able to buy-off potential entry through higher wages. Over the longer term, the analysis illustrates that reductions in barriers to entry can cause industry price to be greater than if entry barriers had persisted at their initial level. Correspondingly, the model indicates that investment in endogenous barriers to entry and wage ceilings on executive salaries may enhance market performance.

Long-run premiums fell by 13.7% and injury rates fell by 8.2% or less, with rating bureau pricing having little effect. Most of the effects were found for eliminating prior approval of rates by insurance regulators.

N2  - This article focuses on changing rules and practices regarding retirement income benefits. It also explores other issues, such as, how the concept of "retirement" may be evolving into one of time spent in partial work and partial leisure, and how decisions workers make years before ending employment may affect their "golden" years. The author points out that in recent years, legislative changes, new types of retirement plans, and increases in life expectancy have led to differences in retirement ages; workers now have many alternatives to traditional retirement at age 65.

N2  - This article describes a new longitudinal database (LDB) from the Bureau of Labor Statistics that has the potential for enhancing microdata research into topics such as job creation, job destruction, and the life-cycle of establishments. This, in turn, has the potential to increase understanding of the labor markets. The microdata from which the database is constructed are the unemployment insurance reports that employers in the United States are required to file with the States, essentially a quarterly census of establishments in all industries. This implies that the job creation and job destruction statistics derived from the longitudinal database have the potential to be valuable economic indicators published by statistical agencies of the U.S. Government. The initial results reveal a large amount of heterogeneity underlying the net growth rates and that a sizable number of jobs and businesses appear and disappear in the time frame of 3 months.

N2  - This annual article summarizes the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) for All Items for the United States. Primarily, it presents the percent change over time for selected categories of the CPI-U for 2000 and prior years, 1991-99. For the year ending 2000, consumer prices accelerated slightly, mainly as a result of increases for shelter, energy, and medical care services.

AB  - This article focuses on the signs of child achievement as determinants of child support. Results indicate that measures of child achievement have positive impacts on the receipt of child support and on the amount of child support received. This finding is consistent across a number of specifications and becomes stronger with the inclusion of controls for the endogeneity of family structure and for the measurement error associated with the proxies for child achievement. The results may imply that the relationship between the two parents involves strategic elements. Noncustodians appear to consider how well their former partners care for their children when they make child-support decisions.

N2  - This article presents a qualitative assessment of the new economic element of electronic business. Prospective changes are discussed in terms of e-business stimulating or dampening employment or output in an industry or occupation. This is a different approach than those discussed in most Monthly Labor Review projections articles, which incorporate the impact of numerous factors and which present employment increases or decreases from the base year to the target year. The approach of this article also focuses primarily on industries and occupations with the largest potential impacts and those which, reportedly, are uniquely affected by e-business. The author concludes that electronic business both stimulates and dampens employment in many occupations and industries; however, assessments of those impacts, at this time, can only be qualitative rather than quantitative and that its full impact may never be fully measured.

It also examines the historical family budgets produced at BLS in 1908-09, 1919, 1947, 1966, and 1979. These are compared with budgets for 1984, 1989, 1994, and 1998 that were constructed using the recommendations of the Expert Committee on Family Budget Revisions. The article also presents a general description of family budgets and budget standards, reviews the history of family budgets and describes the latest family budget methodology, presents a descriptive family budget that is constructed using expenditure data, and concludes with a review of the issues associated with adjusting budgets for different family types and locations, and over time.

N2  - Prior to its switch from an annual interviewing format to a biennial one, the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 (NLSY79) conducted an experiment to see how less frequent interviews would affect data quality. This paper analyzes this experiment with respect to data collected using event history techniques, namely AFDC and food stamp recipiency and employment history. Respondents faced with the longer recall period failed to report short spells of recipiency, employment, and nonemployment. The pattern of the coefficients in econometric models of the type often used to study event history did not change greatly, though tests reject the equality of the coefficients between the recall sample and the control group in half of the models estimated.

N2  - This article analyzes measures for the 108 published three-digit manufacturing industries at the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) level, which cover 88 percent of employment in the total manufacturing sector. The authors analyze changes from 1987 to 1996, the entire period for which the new multifactor productivity series are presently available. Both years are at roughly comparable points in the economic cycle, representing years that were well into the economic expansions of the 1980s and 1990s. The authors conclude that during that period, multifactor productivity--measured as output per unit of combined inputs--increased in manufacturing as a whole and in most of these 108 industries. Within the three-digit industries, however, there was wide dispersion in the growth rates.

N2  - This article examines job loss and reemployment in the late 1990s, focusing on characteristics of workers displaced in 1997-98 and their experiences following a job loss. Data are from a time series constructed using 2 years of data from the Current Population Survey, beginning with the 1981-82 period and ending with the 1997-98 period. The focus of this article is on long-tenured workers--displaced workers who lost or left jobs they had held for 3 years or more, with the assumption being that at least 3 years with the same employer denotes a nontrivial employment relationship. These displaced workers are more likely to be those who lost their jobs due to labor market conditions, not as a result of a "bad match" with their employer. The author concludes that as economic growth continued in 1987 and 1998, job losses declined, and the displacement rate was the lowest of the 1990s; many displaced workers were able to find new jobs with little or no change in weekly earnings.

N2  - This article discusses the ongoing collaboration between Wassily Leontief and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Some researchers believed that the Bureau's role was merely that of data-gatherer and that of Leontief, intellectual. Instead, this article proposes that it was the Department of Labor's interest that stimulated the development of tables that would remain useful for decades, as well as bringing to Leontief confirmation of the utility of input-output tables. The combination produced a new framework for measurement, resulting in, among other elements, the Bureau's production of its first, albeit imperfect, Producer Price Indexes by industry, in 1953.

AB  - The Occupational Information Network (O*NET) has recently been developed as a replacement for the Dictionary of Occupational Titles. As a comprehensive system designed to describe occupations, the O*NET incorporates the last 60 years of knowledge about the nature of jobs and work. This article summarizes its development and validation by first discussing how the O*NET used multiple descriptors to provide "multiple windows" on the world of work, utilized cross-job descriptors to provide a common language to describe different jobs, and used a hierarchical taxonomic approach to occupational descriptors. Second, we provide an overview of the O*NET's Content Model of descriptor domains (i.e., worker characteristics, worker requirements, occupational requirements, experience requirements, occupation characteristics, and occupation-specific requirements) and their potential uses. Third, we discuss some of the technical issues surrounding the O*NET. Finally, we discuss some of the implications for research and theory, as well as some limitations of the O*NET system.

AB  - The Hispanic community in the US is growing rapidly. Understanding food expenditure patterns for this group is of increasing importance. Yet, as implied by the term Hispanic community, most literature treats Hispanics as 1 group rather than as a collection of diverse cultures with some common linguistic and other characteristics. This article uses data from the 1995 and 1996 US Consumer Expenditure Diary Surveys to examine food expenditure patterns for Hispanics as a group compared to non-Hispanics and for subgroups within the Hispanic community (i.e., families of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central and South American, or other Spanish origin). The sample analyzed consisted of 13,367 observations, 12,136 of which were non-Hispanic families and 1,231 from Hispanic families. The data show not only that Hispanics in general have different food expenditure patterns than non-Hispanics, but also, and perhaps more important, that the subgroups within the Hispanic community are not homogeneous in their food expenditure patterns. Researchers should recognize the diversity in the Hispanic population when considering goals for nutritional and related policies. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)

N2  - This annual article summarizes the Producer Price Index for the United States. Primarily, it presents the percent change over time for selected categories of the PPI for 2000 and prior years, 1991-99. For the year ending 2000, soaring natural gas prices sparked higher inflation among finished, intermediate, and crude goods, resulting in the steepest increase in the finished goods index in 10 years.

N2  - This article discusses the advantages of using seasonally adjusted time series methodology when evaluating a given economic situation. This article presents a structural model based method of seasonal adjustment called the state space model-based method. The author presents research conducted on this method and illustrates the advantages of the method. The research is part of the Bureau of Labor Statistics ongoing effort to explore relevant measurement issues of interest to the wider statistical community. This method is relatively new and innovative, for example, it offers greater flexibility in estimation and an increased ability to observe effects of intervention, to name two. It is simple and elegant in design, thus allowing for a broad application across the economic time series data.

AB  - Based on Bradley Efron's observation that individual resamples in the regular bootstrap have support on approximately 63% of the original observations, C. R. Rao, P. K. Pathak and V. I. Koltchinskii [1]have proposed a sequential resampling scheme. This sequential bootstrap stabilizes the information content of each resample by fixing the number of unique observations and letting N, the number of observatons in each resample, vary. The Rao-Pathak-Koltchinskii paper establishes the asymptotic correctness (consistency) of the sequential bootstrap. The main object of our investigation is to study the empirical properties of the Rao-Pathak-Koltchinskii sequential bootstrap as compared to the regular bootstrap. In all our settings, sequential bootstrap performs as well or better than regular bootstrap. In the particular case where we estimate standard errors of sample medians, we find that sequential bootstrap outperforms regular bootstrap by reducing variability in the final bootstrap estimates.

AB  - This article presents comments from several individuals on price index research at the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) Productivity Program of the Summer Institute on July 21, 1999. Controversy has broken out anew on an old issue: Does the concept of the cost of living (COL) index provide the underlying conceptual framework for the consumer price index (CPI)? The U.S. is one of a small number of countries that accept the COL index framework. Most countries' statistical agencies do not. The Boskin Commission report stated unequivocally that the U.S. CPI should be interpreted as an approximation to a COL index. But a no doubt unintended side effect of the report was to heighten an international dispute on this matter, a dispute in which the U.S. position--shared by the BLS and the critics of CPI--is decidedly in the minority.

AB  - Using a new data set, the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 (NLSY97), this paper examines the realtionships between Head Start and school suspensions, grade retentions, and scores on math achievement tests. The body of previous work that has studied the effects of Head Start on child outcomes has examined relatively young children or small samples from compensatory preschool programs other than Head Start. Using the NLSY97 helps to remedy some of the data issues because it is a large nationally representative data set and contains outcomes up to the teenage years. The estimates indicate that Head Start participation does not have long-term benefits. This finding is compatible with past work showing that compensatory preschool programs that are long in duration and intensive are more likely to improve participants' outcomes.

N2  - The new NLSY97 offers researches opportunities to analyze direct evidence on school-to-work programs, using data collected from individuals and schools. This paper focuses on the consequences of school-to-work program for youth employment and schooling decisions while in high school, and students' subjective assessments of the likelihood of future schooling and work behavior. School-to-work participation does not appear to influence behavior likely associated with future college attendance, although it does appear to increase respondents' subjective probabilities of obtaining a high-school diploma. More in accordance with the traditional view of school-to-work programs, participation increases the perceived likelihood of future labor market activity.

N2  - The employment behavior of youth under age 16 has been neglected in the literature. This paper uses data from the new National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 (NLSY97) to examine the employment and earning behavior of youths aged 12-16 as well as the cash transfers received from their parents. Nearly half the youths (47 percent) earned income in 1996. As youths age, the amount of money the control increases as earnings grows faster than allowances. Results also suggest that a negative relationship exists both between youth employment and parental allowances and between earnings and parental allowances for youths aged 14-16.

N2  - Recent research has attempted to explain the sharp decline in welfare caseloads that began in the mid-1990s, well before the implementation of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA), by focusing on patterns in aggregate caseloads at the state level. Although this approach has aided our understanding of caseload trends, several important issues remain unresolved. In this article I assess these patterns from a different perspective and, instead, examine the flows into and out of welfare that underlie the net changes in the caseloads. I find that a decline in the rate of initial entry into welfare, a shortening of the length of welfare spells, and a reduction in the likelihood of welfare recidivism all contributed to the marked decline in aggregate caseloads observed before PRWORA's enactment. I do not find evidence providing firm support for the view that welfare-reform waivers played an important role in the shifts observed for the three transition rates that determine movements in welfare caseloads. While the presence of such waivers is found to be associated with a shortening of welfare spells in the 1990s, further examination raises doubts about a causal interpretation of this finding.

N2  - This article identifies and discusses the cyclical and countercyclical industry groups of the services division and some of the different causes of cyclical and countercyclical trends. Data are from the Office of Employment and Unemployment Statistics, Bureau of Labor Statistics. The services industry and most of the major groups within it are reputed to be able to resist recessions, but the author found that some industries within the services do lose jobs, while others gain more jobs than usual during recessions. In the 16 major industry groups, job growth slows considerably, and in some instances stops altogether, with statistical significance. Five groups, however, have countercyclical growth, gaining jobs faster during recessions than at normal times. The author concludes that the services division as a whole and a majority of its main components show cyclicality, at least in the sense that the growth of jobs slows during recessions.

N2  - The Bureau of Labor Statistics has introduced a new data access tool called the BLS wage query system. It is an interactive application that allows users to find hourly wage data more easily, and to request wage data from the National Compensation Survey by certain characteristics. Once the users have targeted the specific data, the results are returned almost instantly. This article provides information on the data behind the new query system, a section on navigating the system, and a discussion on the new regression estimates that recently were added to the query system. It concludes with a look at enhancements planned for the future.

N2  - This article presents projections made by the Bureau of Labor Statistics for the U.S. economy for the 2000-10 period. It includes projections of demand, income growth, employment, and labor productivity. Each section of the article describes the projections in the context of trends over the previous 10-year period. The concluding two sections discuss the macroeconomic mode, the major assumptions underlying the aggregate economic projections, and the sensitivity of BLS economic projections to those assumptions. The author concludes that domestic growth, with continued high productivity, low unemployment rates, and strong foreign markets characterize the expected outlook for the coming decade.

N2  - This article describes the labor force projections, made by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, for 136 age, sex, race, or Hispanic origin groups for the 2000-10 period. First, it discusses changes in the labor force that are attributed to changes in labor force participation rates or to population changes. It includes a historical perspective, comparing two decades with the projected decade. Then, it examines changes in the labor force based on the dynamics resulting from persons entering, leaving, or staying in the labor force. It concludes with a review of the demographic implications of projected changes in the age composition of the labor force and population. The authors find that the labor force will grow steadily as the population and labor force ages, and that diversity will continue to increase.

N2  - This article provides Bureau of Labor Statistics projections for industry output and employment for the 2000-10 period. Employment in the United States is project to increase by 22.2 million and real output among industries is expected to expand by nearly $6.1 trillion during the next 10 years. The author concludes that both industry output and employment projections are characterized by unvarying population and labor force growth, along with slowing growth in total employment and productivity-led output expansion. The service-producing sector will continue to be the dominant employment generator in the economy, as has been the case historically. Business services and health services are projected to remain responsible for the majority of employment growth in the service-producing sector.

N2  - This article discusses several aspects of the Bureau of Labor Statistics employment projections for the 2000-10 period. For example, it examines changes in the structure of employment at the major occupational level; the detailed occupations that are projected to grow fastest, as well as those with the largest numerical increases and decreases; the total job openings projected to occur due to growth in the economy and the net replacement needs resulting from workers who leave the labor force or transfer to other occupations; and the distribution of employment in 2000 and projected 2000-10 job openings by level of education or training. The author finds that occupations requiring a postsecondary vocational award or an academic degree, which accounted for 29 percent of all jobs in 2000, will account for 42 percent of total job growth from 2000 to 2010.

N2  - This paper documents changing inequality in employer-provided fringe benefits in the United States using much more comprehensive data than previously available. Inequality growth in broader measures of compensation slightly exceeds wage inequality growth over the 1981-97 period. Employer costs due to paid leave, pensions, and health insurance fell for low wage labor and rose for high wage labor over this period. The findings suggest income effects as a contributory factor in the relative decline of fringe benefits among low wage workers.

N2  - Linear-in-variables continuous-time processes are estimated nonlinearly, because the coefficients of the implied linear-in-variables discrete-time estimating equations are the exponential of a matrix formed with the continuous-time parameters. Even with sampling complications such as irregular intervals, mixed frequencies, and stock and flow variables, using Van loan's (1978) results, the mapping from continuous- to discrete-time parameters and its derivatives can be expressed as the submatrix of a matrix exponential. For quicker estimation and more accurate hypothesis testing or sensitivity analysis, it is often better to compute analytically the first-order derivatives of the mapping. This paper explains how to compute efficiently the continuous- to discrete-time parameter mapping and its derivatives, without computing an eigenvalue decomposition, the common way of doing this. By linking present results with previous ones, a complete chain rule is obtained for computing the Gaussian likelihood function and its derivatives with respect to the continuous-time parameters.

N2  - This article examines changes in the retail trade industry during the 1987-99 period. The authors find that output and labor productivity both experienced strong growth, with growth in retail square footage far exceeding growth in the population. Thus, the industry has been faced with overcapacity of retail space, leading to fierce competition, consolidation under large corporations, and an increasing number of bankruptcies and liquidations. Much of the industry growth may be seen to come from its increased use of technology, for example, the use of Universal Product Codes (UPCs) to track and manage inventory. The authors conclude that the retail trade will remain an important and dynamic part of the U.S. economy. Productivity growth will continue to depend on maintaining tightly controlled inventories and offering products finely tuned to consumer demand based on data collected at the point of sale and stored in large marketing databases.

N2  - This article discusses the implementation of a new Bureau of Labor Statistics classification system, the North American Industry Classification System, or NAICS. Eventually it will replace the Standard Industrial Classification system, originally designed in the 1930s, but which provides insufficient detail for the now dominant service industry. It is hoped that the new NAICS will better capture the dynamism of the 21st century economy and changes as industry activity evolves. The article looks at changes to NAICS, as reflected in the NAICS 2002 manual, and profiles NAICS itself, discussing its structure, the issues confronting data users and collectors, and the implementation schedule for programs at the Bureau of Labor Statistics. In sum, the new system should provide a more viable way of classifying industries; however, the transition period may be challenging to both data collectors and data users.

N2  - In the fall of 2002, the Bureau of Labor Statistics will release industry employment, wages, and establishment count data for 2001 based on the North American Industry Classification System. This article presents the first glimpse of the data. It is hoped that this preview of the data will allow users to acquaint themselves with the structure. The data presented in this article are based on preliminary private sector U.S. totals for the first quarter of 2001. The data are from the Covered Employment and Wages or CEW/ES-202 program. The new view should reveal, better than ever before, the inner workings of the U.S. economy.

N2  - This article introduces a new survey: the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS). It presents a description of the survey itself and discusses anticipated uses of the data. The survey, which consists of a new data series that will measure labor demand and turnover, will attempt to show how changes in the labor supply and demand affect the overall economy. The new BLS program involves the collection, processing, and dissemination of job openings and labor turnover data from a sample of 16,000 business establishments, drawn from the universe of 8 million establishments compiled as part of the Bureau's Covered Employment and Wages program. It is hoped that the series will assist policymakers and researchers in addressing some fundamental issues concerning labor demand and movements in the labor market. BLS anticipates releasing monthly estimates of job openings, hires, and separation rates and levels beginning in early 2002.

N2  - Proposed explanations of the role of microprocessor technology in the shifts toward relatively highly skilled workers that have occurred within industries since the mid 1970s have implications for the types of occupations that should be most affected by computerization. In this study, I measure the effects of changes in capital usage, and of the level of high-tech capital usage in particular, on skill change caused by employment shifts among detailed occupations within industries over the 1989-98 period. The study utilizes data collected by the Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) survey, which produces data on employment and wages for over 700 occupations in non-farm establishments, by industry. These data provide an unprecedented opportunity to determine the types of occupations and skills that are most affected by changes in capital and technology usage, by making it possible to measure skill change within relatively narrowly defined occupational groups.

N2  - All pegged exchange rate arrangements are subject to predicaments that cast doubt on the ability of the policy makers to maintain the peg. This article organizes the literature dealing with the fragility of exchange rate nominal-anchor regimes around six fundamental and interrelated problems that can undermine the ability of policy makers to maintain their commitment to an exchange rate peg. It describes the regime-specific characteristics of an international monetary system comprising both floating rates and pegged rates--the operating domain of a nominal-anchor peg--that produce externalities relative to a pure float or a fixed-rate regime. Those externalities can lead to instability for small countries that peg to the currency of a large country, magnify the effects of asymmetric shocks on exchange rates against third currencies, and provide an escape mechanism that may help absolve the policy makers of the disciplinary constraint of a pure peg.

N2  - The advent of bar-code, retail scanner data provides an alternative data source for the compilation of consumer price indexes. This paper outlines the nature and merits of such data for this purpose. The data allows aggregation via superlative index number formulae at a very elementary level and provides superior coverage to conventional sources. However, it has been argued that aggregation bias may still arise if the unit values which feed into the superlative indexes are defined for product items, as opposed to product items for given outlets. We explore for six products the nature and extent of unit value bias by outlet type. For three products we found the level of aggregation did not matter. However, we also found it can matter and established the extent of its effects which were always the aggregation by model only, falling less than by model and outlet. This should help provide a basis for an understanding of the issues at stake in the use of scanner data for the compilation of consumer price indexes.

N2  - This article discusses the national and State labor markets in 2001. The authors note that the year began with a weakening labor market, in which manufacturing's downturn spread into other sectors. Unemployment climbed from the historic lows reached during the recent economic expansion of the 1990s. The authors examine these elements and other developments throughout the year 2001, using data from the Current Employment Statistics survey and the Current Population Survey. They find that a number of occupational fields were severely affected including as already mentioned, manufacturing, but also, services and retail trade. In contrast, health services and higher education accelerated their hiring in 2001, adding more than 400,000 workers to their payrolls.

N2  - This article describes the findings from a series of cognitive studies that were conducted as part of the Bureau of Labor Statistics new survey (at present, under development and scheduled for full production in January 2003) that studies and measures how Americans spend their time. The author notes that cognitive pretesting of the American Time Use Survey has resulted in several redesigns that disambiguated the wording of a number of questions in the instrument; further testing will ensure that the survey delivers high-quality data on an ongoing basis.

N2  - This article is a response to Anne Winkler's article, published concurrently. It provides a basis for understanding the methodology, which was used to guide the Bureau of Labor Statistics new survey, rather than that promulgated by Winkler, and also provides the reasons for doing so. While agreeing with Winkler's assertion that measuring all adult household members' use of time would provide an invaluable source of data, the authors explain that other developmental resources needed further focus, before such an issue could be fully addressed. This article seeks to provide a twofold response: it offers an update on the design of the survey and discusses some issues related to the measurement of time use by more than one individual in a household. Essentially, while the type of measurement Winkler notes is desirable, it could not be accomplished within the data quality requirements and budgetary constraints of this new survey; the topic, however, is on the Bureau's agenda for 2002.

AB  - The article focuses on the oligopsony and monopsonistic competition in labor markets. Since the genesis in industrial organization and the theory of the firm, models of imperfect competition have permeated many fields of economics ranging from international trade to macroeconomics to public finance. The advantage of an approach based on oligopsony is that it leads to more plausible and less elaborate explanations of many labor market phenomena that are otherwise regarded as puzzles. Traditional monopsony is clearly unrealistic, since employers obviously compete with one another to some extent. But there are a range of choices between perfect competition and monopsony where a degree of market power coexists with competition between employers. The existence of substantial wage dispersion among workers of very similar quality suggests that labor market imperfections are important and inevitably give employers some oligopsony power.

Using characteristics such as educational attainment, marital status, motherhood, occupations, and earnings as indicators of change, the authors show how a group and its relationship to the labor market has changed over the past quarter century. The article also focuses on issues, such as alternative work arrangements, contingent work, working poor, and health insurance and pension plan coverage, facing young women in the labor market today. Data are from the Current Population Survey.

N2  - Among manufacturing industries employing a substantial proportion of research and development and technology-oriented workers, the information technology industries exhibited particularly strong productivity growth over the 1987-99 period. This article examines productivity developments in a set of detailed industries representing the high-tech manufacturing sector and uses aggregate measures that were developed to permit comparison with the manufacturing industry as a whole. In addition to labor productivity and related measures, the analysis includes multifactor productivity. This analysis is based on data produced by the BLS Office of Productivity and Technology, and the industries used are classified at the three-digit SIC level.

N2  - This article reprises the methodology used in an earlier Review article, summarizes its findings, and presents new results. Besides including data through 1997, the new results reflect the comprehensive revisions of the National Income and Products Accounts, published by the Bureau of Economic Analysis, in October 1999. This article finds that aggregate productivity now is growing faster, and it is less clear that there is an aggregate bias, but negative MFP trends for some of the same industries still exist. For other industries, there were low MFP trends, perhaps reflecting measurement problems with some service industry outputs and rapid growth in high tech inputs.

N2  - The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) for All Items for the U.S. city average increased 1.6 percent in 2001, down from a 3.4-percent rise during the prior year. The 2001 deceleration in this index mainly reflects lower prices for energy (household fuels and motor fuel), apparel, and various commodities excluding food. This article reports that the largest annual decrease in gasoline prices since 1986 occurred in 2001, and apparel prices declined for the fourth consecutive year, as food inflation remained the same.

N2  - The services division, a part of the service-producing sector, contributed more than half of U.S. job growth between 1988 and 2000. Rising demand from enterprises was the key. This article is concerned with the question of why the services division gained so many jobs. The long-term upward trend of services jobs and its causes are the major subjects of this article; cyclical effects are not addressed. Input-output analysis is used to quantify purchases of the relevant services by the various industries in the economy and by the sources of final demand.

N2  - This article examines employment trends over the last several years in the four largest industries within business services; personnel supply services, computer and data-processing services, services to buildings, and miscellaneous business services, and it offers reasons for the varying degree of their vulnerability in the recent economic climate. Based on most recent data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Current Employment Statistics program, this article finds that falling employment in personnel services contributed to the greatest decline in employment in business services in the last 43 years. Also, slowing growth in computer services and job losses in miscellaneous business services played a smaller role.

N2  - This paper analyzes the implications of the pattern of returns to education for human capital and signaling models. The US Current Population Survey shows diploma effects and small returns to the interval just before college graduation. A human capital model explains this pattern only under special circumstances unlikely to be stable. A Spence-type signaling model can explain diploma effects, but not the low return prior to graduation unless there is substantial measurement error. I propose an extension of the signaling model where agents are initially unsure of their ability.

N2  - This article considers the impact of nondiscrimination (ND) rules in the federal tax code. Nondiscrimination rules limit within-firm inequality in the provision on nonwage benefits, but they place no corresponding limit on within-firm inequality in wages. Firms can skirt ND rules by moving workers with unusual benefits into part-time and seasonal positions because workers in such positions are excluded from some ND compliance calculations. We examine these issues empirically and find relationships consistent with the hypothesis that ND rules provide a binding constrain on within-firms benefits inequality.

N2  - We consider a multiple mismeasured regressor errors-in-variables model where the measurement and equation errors are independent and have moments of every order but otherwise are arbitrarily distributed. We present parsimonious two-step generalized method of moments (GMM) estimators that exploit overidentifying information contained in the high-order moments of residuals obtained by "partialling out" perfectly measured regressors. Using high-order moments requires that the GMM covariance matrices be adjusted to account for the use of estimated residuals instead of true residuals defined by population projections. This adjustment is also needed to determine the optimal GMM estimator. The estimators perform well in Monte Carlo simulations and in some cases minimize mean absolute error by using moments up to seventh order. We also determine the distributions for functions that depend on both a GMM estimate and a statistic not jointly estimated with the GMM estimate.

AB  - This paper uses data from the National Adult Literacy Survey to examine the relationship between schooling and earnings. Basic skills are partitioned between those acquired through schooling and those acquired elsewhere. The study finds that, for the most part, it is the substance of learning in school — the accumulated human capital — that counts. Further, the strength of the human capital explanation versus the credential explanation of returns to schooling varies by race. A large disparity is found between whites and blacks in the way annual earnings respond to basic skills acquired through schooling. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

This article discusses some broad conceptual challenges that need to be addressed in order for the world to benefit more from the ongoing process of globalization. At the broadest level, the theme of the article is that globalization requires a complimentary institutional infrastructure that needs to be improved. As a result of this existing deficiency, the social benefits from globalization have often been disappointing.

AB  - This article estimates the cost of the federal pension insurance program. Pension insurance claims have an important market-risk component, which means that the cost of the exposure cannot be estimated by discounting future claims by the risk-free rate. Moreover, owing to the complexity of the insurance contract, its price cannot be estimated with known options formulas without introducing an error of nonquantifiable magnitude. To circumvent these problems, we model the insurance program in its full complexity and use a Monte Carlo method. By hedging the exposure with a dynamic premium policy that offloads the market risk to the insureds, one can calculate the risk-free, or actuarial, cost of that policy. One can also characterize the nature of the subsidy and its structure across insured plans. Finally, we provide an estimate of the implicit cost of the hedge function that taxpayers currently are providing for zero remuneration. The model shows that simple contingent claims models of pension insurance result in a price that is about triple the true market cost of the insurance, and that pension insurance models that ignore market risk understate the cost by half. The solution demonstrates the broad characteristics that might characterize a credible private-sector version of pension insurance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - The Bureau of Labor Statistics Division of Foreign Labor Statistics provides a set of easily accessible labor statistics for comparability to aid users in making meaningful international comparisons. These statistics include data on the labor force, employment and unemployment; productivity and unit labor cost trends in the manufacturing sector; and hourly compensation costs for production workers in all manufacturing and in component manufacturing industries. This article presents a historical perspective and provides a brief overview of the current program. It examines reasons why foreign data must be adjusted for comparability and the procedures used by BLS to adjust the data.

N2  - From 1960-2000, U.S. unemployment rates improved from relatively high to the lowest among the G7 countries. Canada and the United States were leaders in job creation, while Japan and Europe had much weaker employment gains. This article examines U.S. trends and levels of unemployment, employment, and related statistics, contrasting them with corresponding trends and levels from the other G7 countries. Most of the data are from the BLS international labor force comparisons program, but several series are from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and one is from the Statistical Office of the European Communities (Eurostat).

N2  - This article examines hourly compensation costs and the component parts of compensation in 2000, and trends over the past 25 years for the United States and several foreign economies, focusing on the widening gap between the U.S. and foreign costs in 1985-95, and the slowdown in foreign growth in 1995-2000. It also analyzes some of the underlying factors that drive changes in relative hourly compensation costs. Despite the appreciation of the dollar, U.S. hourly compensation costs have grown more slowly than costs in foreign countries over the 1975-2000 period.

AB  - The article comments on the projections of labor force demographics and employment by industry and occupation for the American workforce issued by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) in November 2001. The projections cover the 10-year period from 2000 to 2010 and are commonly used in career guidance, planning education and training programs, and in studying long-range employment trends. The economic projection sees output rising somewhat more quickly from 2000 to 2010 than it had in the decade before, while the rate of employment growth is projected to be slightly lower. Overall, the projection suggests a continued trend toward higher productivity growth. However, the BLS projections were completed prior to the tragic events of September 11, 2001. While the events had an immediate impact on the U.S. economy, the nature and severity of longer-term consequences of September 11th remain unclear. Therefore, BLS will continue to review their projections and will incorporate any new effects of the tragedy into subsequent analyses of industrial and occupational forecasts.

N2  - The Producer Price Index (PPI) for Finished Goods declined 1.6 percent in 2001, the largest calendar year decrease since a 2.3-percent drop in 1986. Prices for commodities at the overall crude and intermediate stages of processing also experienced declines for the 2001 calendar year. Energy prices turned down at both the crude and intermediate stages of processing. This article summarizes the annual percent changes for major categories of the PPI, by stage of processing and for selected energy, food, finished goods (other than foods and energy), intermediate industrial materials, and selected service industries.

N2  - Regression analysis indicates that, for the most part, expenditure patterns are the same for both families headed by a single father and families headed by a single mother. Among the few differences found were effects due to income, marital status, and age. By comparing levels of expenditures and budget shares of single-mother and single-father households, this article examines whether there are differences in household consumption patterns based on the gender of the parent. The data are based on the Interview component of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Consumer Expenditure Survey.

N2  - This article analyzes expenditure patterns by preretirees and retirees to help understand how expenditure patterns differ upon retirement for single men, single women, and married couples. Many differences were found--some expected and some not necessarily predictable. Nevertheless, each characteristic could have an effect on expenditure patterns. To control for these differences, and to attempt to ascertain whether income differences are solely responsible for expenditure differences or whether tastes and preferences differ in retirement, regression analyses are performed. Although it is difficult to draw general conclusions about the role of retirement in expenditure decisions, some interesting findings are presented.

N2  - This paper derives and illustrates a new suboptimal-consistent feedback solution for an infinite-horizon, linear-quadratic, dynamic, Stackelberg game. This solution lies in the same solution space as the infinite-horizon, dynamic-programming, feedback solution but puts the leader in a preferred equilibrium position. The idea comes from Kydland (1977) who suggested deriving a consistent feedback solution for an infinite-horizon, linear-quadratic, dynamic, Stackelberg game by varying the coefficients in the player's linear constant-coefficient decision rules. Here feedback is understood in the sense of setting a current control vector as a function of a predetermined state vector. The proposed solution is derived for discrete- and continuous-time games and is called the anticipative feedback solution. The solution is illustrated with a numerical example of a duopoly model.

AB  - List-assisted random digit dialing (RDD) designs became popular in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Work done by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the University of Michigan in 1993 resulted in the development of the underlying theory for these designs as well as the evaluation of various alternative sampling plans to optimize the method. Recent research to reevaluate these designs in light of the significant changes in the telephone system over the past decade is presented in this article. The article provides background on the development of list-assisted designs, and recent changes in the U.S. telephone system are reviewed. Using 1999 data from Survey Sampling, Inc., an analysis of the current state of the telephone system is presented, anda reoptimization of the earlier designs is undertaken. Results from the earlier work are compared with findings from the 1999 data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - Provisions in medical care plans that emphasize coverage for preventive care tests have risen sharply in recent years, however, this article finds that preventive care provisions, such as cancer screening tests, specifically were not very commonly mentioned in plan documents. These benefits are usually covered under a more general clause. The Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality conducted a joint study to determine if employer health insurance documents specifically describe certain medical provisions. The study was conducted under the auspices of the Interagency Committee on Employment-Related Health Insurance Surveys.

N2  - Increases in the Employment Cost Index resulted in increased Medicare payments of more than $2 billion per year to hospitals. Payments to other medical providers were also influenced by this index. This article explains how two Federal programs work together: the Bureau of Labor Statistics Employment Cost Index (ECI) and the payment process of the Department of Health and Human Services Medicare program. It describes the ECI and Medicare and its payment system, providing details on adjustments to the Medicare payment system, including some examples payment calculations. Finally it discusses future changes that are being considered for both the ECI and the Medicare payment process.

AB  - Human exploitation of intertidal marine invertebrates is known to alter benthic community structure. This study describes the impact that harvesting by women and children has on the intertidal community structure of the mudflats of the Saco on Inhaca Island, Mozambique, by comparing the benthic communities of exploited and unexploited areas. Sampling was done using two different methods: a standard core sampling method with sieving over a 1 mm mesh, and collection by the women of all animals within a 10×10 m quadrat. A number of predictions were tested on the basis of previous studies. Species richness analyses were based on multivariate non-parametric tests. The women collected in total 64 different species per tide period, their mean catch amounting to 30.5 g AFDW (Ash-Free Dry Weight) per person, 69% of which comprised predators. The crab Portunus pelagica was the dominant species in weight. Average harvest was estimated at 0.12 g AFDW m−2 y−1. The benthic community comprised 117 different species, totalling 2200 organisms m−2 or 6.0 g AFDW m−2. No impact of the exploitation could be detected for any of the following macrobenthos parameters: biomass, abundance, density or percentage of target species, predator:prey ratio, target species size, species richness, species-rank abundance, or biomass/abundance ratio. No significant correlation was found between the benthos variables obtained with the core samples and the human predation pressure. The low biomass figures for predators obtained in the Saco could be linked with the human exploitation there. The samples collected in the 10×10 m quadrats comprised <0.1% of the numerical abundance and <5% of the biomass of the core samples. Species composition was also different by this method. Nevertheless, people preferred the areas with the highest abundance, biomass and species richness as judged from these 10×10 m samples. These samples apparently represented better the substrate characteristics from a human-predation perspective, and measured target species availability. The absence of any large exploitation impact is attributed to: the low level of harvest in relation to availability, the high production/biomass ratio of tropical benthos, and the mobility of the crabs. The human impact is also relatively low because of the specific characteristics of the sand-and mudflats, in which animals targeted can hide and escape predation, in contrast to rocky substrates (on which the majority of previous studies have concentrated). No keystone species could be found, and no cascading effects were apparent through the exploitation of predatory crabs. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

N2  - Use of information and communication technologies in the fastest-growing wholesale trade industries spurred strong labor productivity growth in the sector as a whole, over the 1990-2000 period. Wholesale trade's lower labor intensity and more highly skilled workforce, relative to retail trade, are likely to have played a role in the extent to which wholesalers were able to more quickly adapt to technological change. Thus, wholesale firms were able to improve their efficiency in handling products and to offer new services to their customers.

N2  - The Employment Cost Index (ECI), measures changes in employers' cost of compensating workers, controlling for changes in the industrial-occupational composition of jobs. Previous data from September 1981 to December 1994 indicate that the choice of aggregation formula has little effect on the estimated annual percent change in labor compensation, a key component of the ECI. Data from 1995 to 2002 show that this is still the case. The situation is in contrast to that pertaining to the CPI, for which the choice of aggregation formula does make some difference.

AB  - In signalling environments ranging from consumption to education, high-quality senders often shun the standard signals that should separate them from lower-quality senders. We find that allowing for additional, noisy information on sender quality permits equilibria where medium types signal to separate themselves from low types, but high types then choose to not signal, or countersignal. High types not only save costs by relying on the additional information to stochastically separate them from low types, but countersignalling itself is a signal of confidence that separates high types from medium types. Experimental results confirm that subjects can learn to countersignal. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - FedStats.gov is an award-winning portal to a distributed digital library of statistical information compiled by more than 70 federal agencies. The challenges in simply providing access are many-organizational, bureaucratic, technical and usability to name just a few. Access is simply a starting point for both citizens seeking statistical information and the agencies hoping to develop FedStats into a National Statistical Knowledge Network. Researchers and policy analysts often need the ability to use complex analytical techniques that require processing observation-level data. The ultimate goal of FedStats is to help users gain knowledge through statistical information about the health, economic well-being, quality of life, state of the U.S. educational system, economy, environment and natural resources, and so forth. Several of the digital government projects focus on the design or tables and graphs for the Internet. With Java tools, it is possible to design interactive presentations that allow the user to control what and how the data is presented.

N2  - The parameter estimates based on an econometric equation are biased and can also be inconsistent when relevant regressors are omitted from the equation or when included regressors are measured with error. This problem gets complicated when the "true" functional form of the equation is unknown. Here, we demonstrate how auxiliary variables, called concomitants, can be used to remove omitted-variable and measurement-error biases from the coefficients of an equation with the unknown "true" functional form. The method is specifically designed for panel data. Numerical algorithms for enacting this procedure are presented and an illustration is given using a practical example of forecasting small-area employment from nonlinear autoregressive models.

AB  - This article presents information on the new Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS), which was introduced by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics in July 2002. JOLTS measures the numbers and rates of job openings, hires, and separations for the nation, industries, and geographic regions. Job openings are a measure of unmet labor demand and can be compared with unemployment, which measures unused labor supply. Job openings are measured when: a specific position exists; work could start within 30 days; and the employer is actively recruiting from outside the establishment to fill the position. The sample of 16,000 business establishments covers both the private sector and government. Estimates from JOLTS are not seasonally adjusted, and experience suggests that there is a seasonal pattern to job openings, hires, and separations. The first release of JOLTS estimates covered the period from May 2001 to May 2002 and showed that the number and rate of job openings in May 2002 were substantially lower than a year earlier. The estimates from the JOLTS program are considered developmental, and caution should be exercised in drawing conclusions from them.

N2  - The objective of this study is to evaluate preferences for time paths of outputs arising from alternative forest management practices. A discrete choice framework using logit and mixed logit models is used to evaluate stated choices by Public Advisory Committee members over attributes regarding inter-temporal forest management options. Results of the study indicate a relatively strong preference for physical sustainability, or even flow choices. However, respondents appear to be more accepting of uneven flows in recreation services than they are of uneven flows of timber harvests. Results also provide yet another illustration of a difference in implied rates of discount over the goods involved (i.e. timber versus recreation). The paper illustrates a mechanism for use in public involvement exercises that may identify inter-temporal preferences over forest management plans and strategies.

N2  - The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) is the principle Federal agency charged with disseminating statistics in the broad area of labour economics. In particular BLS publishes the principle Federal economic indicators on unemployment and inflation in the U.S. BLS attempts to provide data providers with as many options as possible for submitting their reports such as over the Internet. The BLS approach to Internet data collection is to provide a singular, manageable, secure architecture for all surveys. This paper will explore the editing strategy used by BLS on the Internet. The paper will summarise the types of edits used in post collection review and the strategy employed to incorporate edits into web-based instruments. Edit experience from two Internet survey instruments will be discussed including implementation strategies, edit failure experience, and comparisons with edit failures of data collected by standard protocols.

N2  - The process of developing technology through open discussion has been called collective invention. Open source software projects have this form. This paper documents two earlier episodes of collective invention and proposes a general model based on search theory. One episode was the development of mass production steel in the U.S. (1866-1885), and the second with early personal computers (1975-1985). Technical people openly discussed and shared these developing technologies between firms. Collective invention episodes begin with an invention or a change in legal restrictions. Hobbyists and startup firms experiment with practical methods of production and share their results through a social network whose members gradually form a new industry. The network itself may disappear if the firms then keep their R&D secret. A model of an innovation search can describe this process if it is expanded to include independent hobbyists and consultants as well as profit-seeking firms.

N2  - Targeting reemployment bonus offers to unemployment insurance (UI) claimants identified as most likely to exhaust benefits is estimated to reduce benefit payments. While earlier research indicated that non-targeted reemployment bonus offers would not be good public policy, in this paper we show that targeting bonus offers with profiling models similar to those in state Worker Profiling and Reemployment Services (WPRS) systems can improve their cost effectiveness. Since estimated average benefit payments do not steadily decline as the eligibility screen is gradually tightened, we find that narrow targeting is not optimal. The best candidate to emerge for a targeted reemployment bonus is a low bonus amount with a long qualification period, targeted to the half of profiled claimants most likely to exhaust their UI benefit entitlement.

AB  - Over the past twenty-five years, wages at public universities have not grown as quickly as at private universities, due to increased financial pressure. While keeping faculty salaries low cuts expenditures, it also puts at risk the quality of public higher education, by inducing higher-quality professors to seek jobs at comparable private universities. In this paper I look for evidence that lower wage growth has been offset by increases in other nonpecuniary benefits, but do not find evidence that this is the case. Rather, high-paying institutions also offer high levels of benefits, although the relationship is weaker for public universities. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

N2  - This article examines developments affecting U.S. labor markets in 2002. The U.S. job market remained weak in the wake of the marked deterioration that occurred in 2001. Without a clear sign that the economy had returned to sustainable growth, most employers remained reluctant to hire. In addition, the business climate and consumers' attitudes were shaped by a number of events--namely, heightened geopolitical concerns and weakening in the stock markets. As a result, the unemployment rate edged up during the year; however, by yearend, it was up just slightly from its level at the close of 2001.

N2  - In 2001, more than half of all workers used a computer on the job. The most commonly reported use was connecting to the Internet or accessing e-mail. These findings are from a special supplement to the Current Population Survey conducted in September 2001. The Computer and Internet Use Survey obtained information on computer and Internet or e-mail use at home, school, and work, as well as on the use of the Internet for job searches. Computer usage varies by age, sex, education, and other characteristics. This article pertains to computer use at work and to job searches using the Internet.

AB  - In this paper, we examine the effect of income on child development in the United States and the United Kingdom, as measured by scores on cognitive, behavioral, and social assessments. In line with previous results for the United States, we find that for both countries income generally has an effect on child development that is positive and significant, but whose size is small relative to other family background variables.

N2  - This article details findings of the 2002 Consumer Price Index. Consumer prices rose slightly more in 2002 than in the prior year, mostly due to higher prices for energy and hospital services. (Energy includes motor fuel and household fuels, and hospital services are for both inpatients and outpatients.) However, the "core" index--which excludes energy and food--rose less than it did in 2001. In fact, when both food and energy are excluded, the commodities index decreased 1.5 percent--the largest calendar--year decrease since the BLS began keeping records in 1958.

N2  - Although personal choices, occupational crowding, and discrimination contribute to the gender gap, the higher share of women in an occupation is still the largest contributor. This article sheds some light on reasons for the gender earnings gap, focusing on the role that the share of women in an occupation plays. The authors use the methodology employed by George Johnson and Gary Solon to identify the sources of the relationship between wages and the share of women in an occupation. The data used in the article are from the 1989, 1992, and 1999 Outgoing Rotation Group Files of the CPS.

AB  - This study surveyed 165 federal government employees who were unable to resume their normal work after filing a workers' compensation claim for a work-related upper extremity disorder (WRUED) and who volunteered for a randomized study of alternative case management strategies. Before randomization, participants completed a baseline survey of upper extremity symptoms, functional limitations, and workplace factors. At baseline, 58 participants were working modified duty and 107 participants were not working. Compared with participants working modified duty, those who were not working were more likely to report: (a) a diagnosis of mononeuropathy, odds ratio (OR) = 3.16 versus enthesopathy, (b) higher pain ratings, OR = 1.43, (c) greater functional limitations, OR = 1.63, and (d) higher level of ergonomic stressors, OR = 1.62 in a multivariable logistic regression. Measures of high risk work styles were associated with greater perceptions of ergonomic exposure, but not with work status. The model had 87.9% sensitivity and 43.1% specificity to correctly classify those not working. The results suggest that modified duty for workers with persistent WRUEDs may be enhanced by assessing perceived functional limitation and ergonomic exposure as well as the type and severity of symptoms.

N2  - The paper obtains two principal results. First, using a new definition of higher-order (> 2) matrix derivatives, the paper derives a recursion for computing any Gaussian multivariate moment. Second, the paper uses this result in a perturbation method to derive equations for computing the 4th-order Taylor-series approximation of the objective function of the linear-quadratic exponential Gaussian (LQEG) optimal control problem. Previously, Karp (1985) formulated the 4th multivariate Gaussian moment in terms of MacRae's definition of a matrix derivative. His approach extends with difficulty to any higher (> 4) multivariate Gaussian moment. The present recursion straightforwardly computes any multivariate Gaussian moment. Karp used his formulation of the Gaussian 4th moment to compute a 2nd-order approximation of the finite-horizon LQEG objective function. Using the simpler formulation, the present paper applies the perturbation method to derive equations for computing a 4th-order approximation of the infinite-horizon LQEG objective function. By illustrating a convenient definition of matrix derivatives in the numerical solution of the LQEG problem with the perturbation method, the paper contributes to the computational economist's toolbox for solving stochastic nonlinear dynamic optimization problems.

AB  - The fate of humans has been intertwined with the fate of other animals since human ancestors scavenged the carcasses of non-human animals, nearly six million years ago. Feeding upon the meat of other animals gave these early humans a boost of protein, providing their brains with extra energy for higher level thinking. Thus began the rise of humanity and the flourishing of Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens, apes, monkeys, and Neanderthals, among others share a common ancestor. One of the more significant events in human evolution is when Homo sapiens and its direct ancestor Australopithecus africanus, began to eat meat.

N2  - We propose a simple model of wage dispersion arising from oligopsonistic competition in the labor market. Our model has workers who are equally able but who have heterogeneous preferences for non-wage characteristics, while employers have heterogeneous productivity characteristics. We completely and explicitly solve for the equilibrium wage distribution and show that "inside" and "outside" forces interact in wage determination. This interaction generates spillover effects of minimum wages in a manner which is consistent with the empirical evidence.

N2  - Benefits under the two kinds of retirement plans offered by U.S. private industry--defined benefit and defined contribution plans--may be distributed to an individual in a variety of ways. In recent years, lump-sum options have become more prominent as an alternative to annuity payments. This change is the result of growth in cash balance plans, which generally allow individuals the option of receiving lump-sum payments at retirement. In defined contribution plans, lump-sum payments have always been the most prevalent distribution option at retirement. When alternatives to lump-sum payments are provided, they are usually in the form of an annuity, or both an annuity and an installment option.

N2  - This article consists of six reports examining U.S. consumer spending trends for selected goods and services. Based on data from the Consumer Expenditure Survey program, conducted by the Census Bureau for the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the reports cover consumer buying habits with regard to basic necessities (food, housing, and apparel), travel, out-of-pocket medical expenses, vehicle acquisition, alcohol, and entertainment. One report finds that total average out-of-pocket medical spending was $2,315 per year for consumer units with fee-for-service insurance and $1,789 for consumer units covered by a health maintenance organization. Another finds that consumer spending on travel averaged $875 in 2000.

AB  - Vague answers present an inherent problem when using open-ended, categorical questions because these types of questions do not provide respondents with a response alternative list to guide them in their response formulation.  When asked about Cookies, where the desired answers are types of cookies (e.g., sugar cookies), for example, a respondent may say sugar.  Scoring this response would be a difficult task for a coder.  In this particular case, it is unclear whether the respondent was referring to sugar as an ingredient or as a type of cookie.  Here the omission of the category title leads to potentially vague answers.  Within the question context, one could argue that the coder could assume that the respondent really meant sugar cookie.  However, this is a leap of faith because without a list describing the category contents, it is conceivable that the respondent really did mean sugar as an ingredient. Two studies were conducted to find out why respondents provide vague responses to open-ended categorical questions.  In Study 1, respondents were asked to list the contents of a categorical question.  Afterwards, the respondents were asked to say why they omitted the title from their answers.  The results indicate that people omitted the title from their responses because they thought the title was implied or self-evident.  Study 2 was designed to find out whether respondents tailor their answers according to their beliefs about the coder’s knowledge level.  Respondents may include more self-evident information for coders that they perceive as novices than those they regard as experts.  Study 2’s methodology is identical to that of Study 1 with one exception: One group of respondents was told that the coder had much experience scoring responses, while another group heard that the coder did not.  Preliminary results are encouraging.  Practical and theoretical implications will be discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The National Longitudinal Surveys (NLS) designers are interested in obtaining pension plan information.  Reports from two of the survey’s cohorts indicate non-response rates on the pension questions (e.g., an increased number of don’t knows). Three separate studies were conducted to identify the sources of these non- response rates.  Study 1 focused on poorly phrased questions, as a potential source.  Respondents, who are pension plan holders, answered a series of pension questions. After answering each question, respondents received some probes designed to assess their understanding of the question and terminology. Study 1 findings indicate that people had difficulty understanding the intent of the question and terminology thereby suggesting that question wording may have contributed to the non-response rates. Study 2, which is currently underway, focused on the possibility that respondents  may have difficulty answering any pension questions due to topic difficulty.  Like Study 1, pension plan holders will be asked a series of newly designed pension plan questions. Afterwards, they will receive a series of follow-up probes designed to assess their question comprehension and recollection difficulties.  This study is still in its initial phases. Study 3 focused on the possibility that ineligible respondents may not have been screened out of the module and subsequently when asked about their plans lacked the relevant knowledge.    Ineligible respondents refer to those people who just started working but may not have been on the job long enough to be eligible for their employer’s pension plan.  Both eligible and ineligible respondents were asked a series of screener questions. Afterwards, all respondents received a series of probes designed to assess question comprehension and respondent eligibility. The results indicate that the ineligible respondents are not screened out thereby suggesting that respondent ineligibility may contr... [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The Interagency Committee on Measurement of Educational Attainment (ICMEA) has been charged with developing a new question(s) sequence about vocational certificates (VC) that could potentially be added to some existing government surveys in the future.  The purpose of this question(s) sequence would be to learn about respondents’ level of career/vocational/technical training; and whether they have received any certificates as a result of these varied career, technical, and/or vocational educational experiences. Over 20 expert interviews were conducted resulting in an operational definition that was used to develop several item sequences to assess vocational certificates.  Preliminary informal respondent testing indicated these initial versions resulted in significant "cognitive demands" on the respondent, so a three-item sequence was rewritten to break the concept "out."  This additional "real estate" should help reduce cognitive burden through the use of a "step-down" sequence that gradually eliminates respondents who are able to "skip out" of the sequence This poster describes the results of cognitive interviews with approximately 30 respondents who demonstrate substantial variation in types of vocational certificates earned, including: -- Military training programs -- Health professions -- Computer technology professions -- Unusual occupations/credentialing (including massage therapy, etc.) -- With several vocational certificates Respondents were recruited from local community colleges and/or medical facilities to ensure variety in breadth of vocational certificate recipients. The one-hour cognitive debriefing interview compares the effectiveness of three final versions of the item sequence that differed in wording and formatting.  Respondents were probed about their personal educational and vocational experiences, interpretation of relevant terms, and alternative wording(s) of the vocational certificate items In addition, to examine whether a...

AB  - This poster describes the results of a series of detailed telephone interviews conducted with 32 establishments drawn from survey samples from four major economic and labor surveys.  The primary objectives of these interviews was to learn (1) why some establishments comply with government requests for data, whereas others fail to do so despite repeated requests for participation and (2) why some establishments simply stop providing data, or provide data on an irregular basis according to the survey¡¦s prescribed data collection cycle. Four interview protocols were developed for the following four groups of establishments: Cooperative Respondents:  establishments that have reported regularly and consistently since enrollment in the survey sample; Intermittent Responders:  establishments that reported for a while, stopped, then resumed reporting (e.g., they may have been converted from refusal status to active reporting status after an interval of time); Dropouts:  establishments that reported for a given number of data collection cycles, then stopped reporting before their period in sample has ended; and Nonrespondents:  establishments that declined to participate in the survey when initially contacted by the survey program. Participating establishments varied in size and were selected from throughout the U.S.  Participants were queried about factors affecting their decision to participate in government surveys, including establishment factors (e.g., size, type of industry, etc.), internal processing of incoming government survey requests, barriers to survey participation, confidentiality issues, and attitudes toward survey participation.  Non-respondents were asked specifically about reasons for failing to respond to government requests for survey participation, as well as their opinion of a number of strategies that could be implemented to encourage future participation.  This poster will document the results and provide suggestions about way... [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Cognitive interviews has been widely used and studied as a research tool to reduce sources of response error and improve survey questions.  Cognitive interviews are based on the assumption that respondents are reasonably reliable informants about how they are able to comprehend and answer questions.  We recently conducted a study using a greater than average number of cognitive interviews to test question comprehension (n=40) in a housing survey.  The study was conducted in two parts: 1) survey completion and 2) retrospective probing.  In the first part, respondents answered questions from the housing survey with the option of indicating when they did not know the answer or did not understand the question.  In the second part, respondents were interviewed and probed about the clarity of questions, their subjective experience of answering the survey questions, and how they arrived at the answers.  This study yielded both quantitative and qualitative data which allowed a comparison of actual survey responses and information respondents reported about clarity and comprehensibility of questions.  This comparison showed that while respondents would say a question was clear and that they understood it, their actual responses to the survey indicated a lack of comprehension.  This study will show data from the housing study that indicate this discrepancy and will discuss the limits of relying on respondents as informants of their thought processes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - This paper is helpful for understanding interactive-agent economies. It presents a user-friendly framework for exploring the implications of economic interaction, and demonstrates its wide applicability. Agents repeatedly face binary choices and receive i.i.d. shocks; payoffs depend upon one's own action and shocks, as well as upon the actions of a subset of other agents. Simulations explore how properties change as the number of agents, the number of neighbors, and the degree of interaction change. Key results in this framework include the following: the law of large numbers can readily be postponed or defeated, stationarity and ergodicity are trivial to deduce, any equilibrium distribution may be attained in "globally interactive" economies, continuous- and discrete-time analogues generally behave very similarly, dynamics can be sensitive to details of the interaction structure (implying that popular mean-field approximations are not always appropriate), and substantial persistence is typical.

AB  - We report two experiments about how people estimate the frequency of event properties when they are explicitly (e.g., spinach-GREEN) and implicitly (e.g., spinach) presented. In Experiment 1, verbal reports indicated that, for explicitly presented properties, participants used several retrieval- and impression-based strategies and were relatively accurate. Implicitly presented properties led to off-target retrieval, which brought to mind more instances of nontarget than of target properties and degraded estimates. A third group estimated the frequency of taxonomic categories (e.g., furniture) much as the explicit property group did, suggesting that people can use properties to organize remembered events. In a second experiment, estimation time patterns underscored the results of Experiment 1 and eliminated reactive verbal reports as an explanation. Off-target retrieval was both ineffective and slow.

N2  - This paper introduces a simple, yet rich, measure of efficiency changes based on the revenue-generating-ability (RGA) principle. Using this principle, we explain the connections between efficiency changes and the variables, such as pretax profits, interest expense, non-interest expense, profit margins, loan loss provision, and asset quality. These connections are used to explain earnings differences between small and large commercial banks.

N2  - Previous research has suggested that inequality is lower in Spain than in the United States when it is based on income. For the present article, both inequality and social welfare are examined, with household consumption expenditures used as a proxy for household welfare. For tractability, equivalence scales depended only on the number of people in the household. Household-specific price indices were used to express the 1990-1991 expenditure distributions in 1981 and 1991 winter prices. Our results reveal that inequality and welfare comparisons are drastically different for smaller and larger households. When all households are considered, the two-country comparison suggests that the income inequality ranking can only be maintained for expenditure distributions when economies of scale are small or nonexistent. However, welfare is always higher in the United States than in Spain. Because inflation during the 1980s in both countries was essentially distributionally neutral, all results appear to be robust to the choice of time period.

AB  - An integrated case management (ICM) approach (ergonomic and problem-solving intervention) to work-related upper-extremity disorders was examined in relation to patient satisfaction, future symptom severity, function, and return to work (RTW). Federal workers with work-related upper-extremity disorder workers' compensation claims (n = 205) were randomly assigned to usual care or ICM intervention. Patient satisfaction was assessed after the 4-month intervention period. Questionnaires on clinical outcomes and ergonomic exposure were administered at baseline and at 6- and 12-months postintervention. Time from intervention to RTW was obtained from an administrative database. ICM group assignment was significantly associated with greater patient satisfaction. Regression analyses found higher patient satisfaction levels predicted decreased symptom severity and functional limitations at 6 months and a shorter RTW. At 12 months, predictors of positive outcomes included male gender, lower distress, lower levels of reported ergonomic exposure, and receipt of ICM. Findings highlight the utility of targeting workplace ergonomic and problem solving skills. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - About 59 million people or 27.6 percent of the civilian noninstitutional population volunteered through or for an organization at some point from September 2001 to 2002 in the U.S. Volunteers are a major source of labor in the United States, performing a variety of important tasks and contributing considerable time and effort to meet needs of their communities. The data in this article come from a special supplement to the September 2002 Current Population Survey. The supplement collected information on the incidence of volunteering, the number and type of organizations through or for which persons volunteered, total hours spent on volunteering, how people became involved in volunteering, and the kinds of work they performed as volunteers.

AB  - As the composition of the Hispanic population changed, Hispanic consumers continued to increase their share of spending at a substantial pace. Although Mexican origin was still the largest segment in 2000-01 (56 percent), it has fallen as a share of all Hispanic consumer units since 1994-95 (62 percent). Hispanic population experienced its largest increase during the 1995-2000 period, when it increased nearly 1.5 percent. Similarly, Hispanics account for an increasing portion of consumer spending which is more than 6 percent in 1995 and more than 7 percent in 2000. Many authors treat Hispanics as a homogenous group, and have shown differences in expenditure patterns from other groups, such as White and Black consumers.

AB  - We discuss the basic theory of price indices. These form the basis for the Consumer Price Index in the United States. We note situations which can lead to non-robustness and volatility in several different price indices. An experiment to replace survey-based data with point of sales scanner data is being carried out. We visually explore the scanner data and conclude that certain aspects of scanner data can lead to non-robustness of commonly used price indices. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

N2  - The Employment Cost Index measures the change in wage rates for a fixed set of jobs over time. The separate indices for industry and occupation groups grew at varying rates during the 1980s. However, their growth rates have been much more similar since then, which implies that the increase in the wage rates of low-wage workers relative to middle-wage workers during the 1990s was due to changes in the mix of jobs. Had all workers remained in their jobs, the relative wage of low-wage to middle-wage workers would have remained constant.

AB  - This article focuses on the increasing trend of working mothers in developed nations as of September 2003. Accompanying and interacting with these trends in household composition were continued demographic shifts and changes in the work-family relationship. Women of child-bearing and child-rearing ages entered the labor force in greater numbers, and the proportion of working mothers with very young children rose rapidly in the last decade, except in Sweden, where the proportion declined, but remained the highest among the countries studied. Leading the way again were Ireland and the Netherlands, most likely for the same reasons as those behind the increases in the overall women's employment-population ratio, Ireland experienced dramatic economic and employment growth in the 1990s, and the Netherlands was and still is a leader in women's part-time employment.

AB  - This study explores the recent trends in occupational mobility among full-time wage and salary workers in the U. S. as they move from young labor market entrants to their approach to mid-career as of September 2003. As workers approached mid-career in the late 1990s, they saw an increase in their occupational stability. however, mobility rates varied between men and women in certain occupations. The results of this analysis provides an additional perspective on the recent increase in wage disparities between high-and low-income workers, an increase that has been well documented. During the 1990s, the increased stability of the occupational distribution of full-time workers resulted from a leveling-off of the upward mobility rates of persons in low-wage occupations, coupled with a pronounced decline in downward mobility rates among workers in high-wage occupations.

AB  - This article focuses on wage disparity among U.S. States. The share of workers earning the Federal minimum wage or less are a function of the occupational distribution and prevailing wages in each State, as well as of the existence of a wide range of minimum wage provisions at the State level. In particular, some States set minimum wage rates above the Federal minimum, currently $5.15 an hour. In 2002, 3.0 percent of U.S. wage and salary workers who were paid hourly rates earned the Federal minimum wage of $5.15 or less. Twenty-six States, including all those in the Middle Atlantic and West South Central divisions, recorded higher percentages of workers paid $5.15 or less in 2002 than did the U.S. as a whole.

AB  - The article focuses on full employment benefits, as discussed in the book, "The Benefit of Full Employment: When Markets Work for People." This book is an economic study of the relation between the inflation rate and the unemployment rate in the U.S. from 1950 to 2000. In a very simple and descriptive form, the book opens the debate about government policies to control inflation and stimulate employment. The introduction discusses the economic growth period with low unemployment and low inflation in the 1990s and its implications for the non accelerating inflation rate of unemployment doctrine. The book is divided into five chapters with graphs and charts that are useful to understand and visualize more easily changes in the economy in the last 50 years.

N2  - BLS data on minimum wage earners are derived from the Current Population Survey (CPS), a nationwide sample survey of households that includes questions identifying hourly paid workers and their hourly wage rate. In 2002, some 72.7 million American workers--roughly 3 out of 5 wage and salary workers--were paid at hourly rates. Of those paid by the hour, about 570,000 were reported as earning exactly $5.15, the prevailing Federal minimum wage, and another 1.6 million were reported with wages below the minimum. Together, these 2.2 million workers with wages at or below the minimum (also referred to here as low wage workers) made up 3.0 percent of all hourly paid workers. What follows are some highlights from the 2002 data (annual averages). Additional details can be found on the BLS website.

AB  - The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) employment projections for the period from 1988 to 2000 were borne out in most broad occupations; the chief source of error was the projection of changes in staffing patterns, attributable primarily to the conservative nature of the projections. The BLS occupational employment projections developed for the 1988-2000 period were reasonably accurate, correctly capturing most general occupational trends. As with previous evaluations, however, the inaccuracies that surfaced reflected a conservative tilt to the projections. The primary source of error was the projection of changes in the utilization of occupations by industry, or staffing patterns, rather than the projections of industry employment themselves. Overall, the authors state, the projections for 2000 at the major occupational group level were measurably better than those that had been made for 1995, but those for more fine-grained occupations were not.

AB  - The Current Employment Statistics (CES) program produces monthly estimates of nonfarm payroll employment, hours, and earnings for the U.S., its states, and major metropolitan areas in considerable industry detail. In addition, the CES publishes monthly series on women workers by industry. Currently, CES average weekly hours and average hourly earnings series, and their derivatives, such as the index of aggregate hours, are limited to covering production and nonsupervisory workers in the private sector. A production worker concept is used for the goods-producing industries, and a nonsupervisory worker concept for the service-providing industries. The earnings are defined as "regular earnings" and, as such, they exclude bonuses and other irregular payments. Expansion of the hours and earnings series to cover all employees rather than just production and nonsupervisory workers. The program report covers planned changes to the CES program.

AB  - This program report covers recent changes in the Current Employment Statistics (CES) program's seasonal adjustments. The CES is conducted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and is a monthly survey of more than 400,000 business establishments. The CES program obtains payroll employment, hours, and earnings information and produces industry-based estimates for the U.S., its states, and major metropolitan areas. The national CES estimates of employment, hours, and earnings are some of the most timely and sensitive economic indicators published by the Federal Government. Accurate seasonal adjustment is an important component in the usefulness of these monthly data. While seasonally adjusted series go through several monthly revisions and an annual benchmark revision before they are finalized, the first published estimates are the most widely anticipated and analyzed. It is important to use the most efficient and reliable methods for seasonal adjustment of current months' data.

N2  - This paper is concerned with mismeasured binary explanatory variables in a linear regression. Modification of a technique in Hausman et al. (J. Econometrics 87 (1998) 239) allows simple computation of bounds under relatively weak assumptions. When one has instruments, we show how to obtain consistent parameter estimates using GMM. We show how to incorporate the estimated measurement error bounds into the GMM estimates, and we develop a specification test based on the compatibility of the GMM estimates with the measurement error bounds. When the mismeasured variable is endogenous, the IV estimate and the measurement error bounds can be used to bound its coefficient.

AB  - An analysis based on the National Compensation Survey of Occupational Wages indicates that low-wage work is concentrated in jobs that require low-level skills. A number of studies have examined the characteristics of low-wage workers and their wage trends. Most of these studies analyze the earnings and characteristics of low-wage workers themselves. Less work has focused on the characteristics and, in particular, the skill demands of low-wage jobs. This article uses a relatively new data set to examine the skill content of low-wage jobs. After describing the low-wage labor market in terms of leveling factors, it examine the relationship between job content and wages, focusing on jobs at the bottom of the wage distribution.

About 6.8 million workers in 3.7 million families lived below the poverty level in 2001, an increase for the first time since 1992-93. In 2001, the proportion of those who were in the labor force for 27 weeks or more who were classified as working poor continued to be higher for women than for men even though the proportion of working men living in poverty edged up by 0.3 percentage point over the year, while that for women was unchanged.

The continued downward movement in the majority of States reflected the 0.1-percentage point decrease in the national multiple jobholding rate to 5.3 percent. Again in 2002, State multiple jobholding rates varied considerably around the national average, with northern States generally recording higher rates. Overall, 30 States had higher rates than the Nation as a whole, 18 States and the District of Columbia had lower rates and 2 States matched the U.S. rate.

AB  - The International Labour Office reports that worldwide unemployment rose by 20 million persons between early 2001 and the end of 2002, to 180 million men and women. Unemployment rates generally did not rise very much, high levels of unemployment having been persistent in a number of the regions surveyed. Moreover, unemployment data disclose only a part of the worldwide employment problem that is widely characterized by underemployment. A large part of underemployment consists of jobs in the "informal" sector of developing countries, in rural as well as urban areas. Unemployment rates also do not capture withdrawals from the labor force because of lack of jobs.

AB  - The objective of this study is to evaluate preferences for time paths of outputs arising from alternative forest management practices. A discrete choice framework using logit and mixed logit models is used to evaluate stated choices by Public Advisory Committee members over attributes regarding inter-temporal forest management options. Results of the study indicate a relatively strong preference for physical sustainability, or even flow choices. However, respondents appear to be more accepting of uneven flows in recreation services than they are of uneven flows of timber harvests. Results also provide yet another illustration of a difference in implied rates of discount over the goods involved (i. e. timber versus recreation). The paper illustrates a mechanism for use in public involvement exercises that may identify inter-temporal preferences over forest management plans and strategies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This paper tests for a type of statistical discrimination, referred to as “screening discrimination,” that assumes signals of worker productivity that employers receive at the time of hiring are noisier for one group than for another. Screening discrimination implies that starting wages depend less on initial productivity signals for women than for men, and that the influence of worker performance on wages increases faster with tenure for women. I test these predictions and find strong evidence suggesting that employers receive less-accurate initial signals from women than from men, even when comparing men and women in the same job.

AB  - Making use of PSID data for 1984, 1989, and 1994, we examine race differences in patterns of asset accumulation. Our results indicate, as expected, that inheritances raise the rate of wealth accumulation of whites relative to that of African Americans. But, while whites devote a greater share of their income to saving, racial differences in saving rates are not significant, once we control for income. Though our results may be period-specific, we also do not find evidence that the rate of return to capital is greater for whites than for African Americans. Simulations suggest that African Americans would have gained significant ground relative to whites during the period if they had inherited similar amounts, saved at the same rate, had comparable income levels and, more speculatively, had portfolios closer in composition to those of whites.

AB  - Despite the apparent health of baseball, Major League Baseball (MLB) suffers from several major problems, many of which are economic in origin, as of January 1, 2004. In his book "May the Best Team Win: Baseball Economics and Public Policy," Andrew Zimbalist writes a thorough but concise analysis of the economic health of MLB. Zimbalist uncovers the source of baseball's problems, MLB's monopoly power and anti-trust exemption, and provides reasonable economic policy initiatives to improve the vitality of the baseball industry. Zimbalist convincingly argues that MLB suffers from inefficiencies because it is the only producer of professional baseball in the country. In a pure monopoly, there is only one seller in a market.

N2  - The US Producer Price Index (PPI) Program continues to expand coverage with a new economy-wide index model based on the input-output tables produced by the US Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA). All marketed US domestic production of goods and services is considered in-scope under the new economy-wide index model. An important benefit of the PPI's expanded coverage is the production of a more comprehensive set of deflators that in turn should lead to improved measures of real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and productivity. The deflation properties of a price index are partly dependent on how statistical agencies respond operationally to the conceptually difficult price measurement challenges presented by service industries such as finance, consulting or medical care. Several criteria can be used to access the accuracy and relevance of deflators that vary according to the complexity of the price measurement challenge. There are major issues to be resolved both in developing the new data product and in educating the user public about the new data product and its relationship to the existing PPI.

AB  - During the 1980s, wage inequality increased dramatically, and the economy lost many high-wage jobs that had provided middle-class incomes to less skilled workers, increasingly restricting these workers to low-wage jobs lacking union or other institutional protections. A number of scholars have suggested that a new paradigm of work, often called high performance, is emerging that offers such workers more skilled jobs and higher wages. Using a unique national dataset, we find little evidence that practices associated with high-performance work systems are associated with higher wages.

N2  - I compare the behavior of job creation and job destruction over the past two economic downturns. Both periods have brief but sharp rises in job destruction followed by flat net job growth. The dynamics underlying these slow recoveries differ drastically. In 1991-92, job destruction is slow to decline. In 2001, job creation falls dramatically and remains persistently low through 2003. I find this trend qualitatively similar in both manufacturing and service industries. I also find that neither a structural shift of jobs across industries nor increased trade liberalization is a consistent explanation for the recent lack of growth. Instead, the evidence suggests that a large drop in business investment may explain the decline in job creation.

N2  - College students may participate in market work to finance their college educations. Using data from the NLSY97, three hypotheses are tested. First, smaller parental transfers lead to more hours worked while in school. Second, an increase in the net price of schooling leads to an increase in hours worked. Finally, an increase in hours worked leads to a decrease in a student's GPA. The results indicate that the number of hours a student works per week is unaffected by the schooling-related financial variables and that the number of hours worked per week does not affect a student's GPA.

N2  - Workers who use computers earn more than those who do not. Is this a productivity effect or merely selection? Using the Canadian Workplace and Employee Survey, we control for selection and find a wage premium of 3.8% for the average worker upon adopting a computer. This premium, however, obscures important differences in returns to computer adoption across education and occupation groups. We find that long-run returns to computer use are over 5% for most workers. Differences between short-run and long-run returns may suggest that workers share training costs through sacrificed wages.

N2  - Although male nonworkers have become a larger fraction of the population since the late 1960s, labor economists know very little about them. Using data from several sources--the March CPS, the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, and the 1992-94 University of Maryland Time Diary Study--this paper fills that void. The picture that emerges is that there is a small cadre of marginal workers who often do not work for periods of a year or more and tend to work relatively few weeks in the years that they do work. The vast majority of nonworking men (men who do not work at all during the year) receive unearned income from at least one source, and the amount of unearned income received varies significantly by reason for not working. Family members provide an important alternative source of support for nonworking men who have little or no unearned income of their own. For the most part, these nonworking men are not substituting nonmarket work for market work. Most of the time that is freed up by not working is spent in leisure activities and sleep.

N2  - Under the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001, most U.S. taxpayers received a tax rebate between July and September, 2001. The week in which the rebate was mailed was based on the second-to-last digit of the taxpayer's Social Security number, a digit that is effectively randomly assigned. Using special questions about the rebates added to the Consumer Expenditure Survey, we exploit this historically unique experiment to measure the change in consumption expenditures caused by receipt of the rebate and to test the Permanent Income Hypothesis and related models. We find that households spent about 20-40 percent of their rebates on non-durable goods during the three-month period in which their rebates were received, and roughly another third of their rebates during the subsequent three-month period. The implied effects on aggregate consumption demand are significant. The estimated responses are largest for households with relatively low liquid wealth and low income, consistent with liquidity constraints.

N2  - This paper uses a simple theoretical model confined to reasonable parameters to investigate the implications of improved labor rights and benefits (i.e., standards) in the export sectors of the developing nations (the South). Given the strong opposition to a broad trade-labor linkage, it is likely that any externally imposed improved labor standards will be restricted to trade-impacted goods. That being the case, the only standards that are likely to significantly impact trade are improved union rights and living wage campaigns. The effects of improving these labor standards vary depending on whether initially there is a wage differential that the standard reduces or whether the standard creates a new differential. The degree to which an existing differential is due to monopsonistic labor markets is also important. It is found that if a standard improves worker welfare in one region, that it reduces worker welfare in the other region; thus improving labor standards effectively pits workers in the South against workers in the North. An exception to this is possible under certain monopsony situations. In what is the most realistic case, implementation of the labor standard improves the welfare of Northern workers and lowers the welfare of Southern workers. If the objective is to improve Northern workers' welfare, a Northern tariff is a more efficient policy tool than is a higher Southern labor standard.

AB  - This paper examines the impact of attrition among the women of the  National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 (NLSY79) and children in the NLSY79 Mother-Child Supplement (NLSY79-C). Attrition among the children is nonrandom with respect to mother's marital status, grandfather's completed schooling, and family income. These differences that are related to the probability of attrition do not appear to impact estimates of the effects of family income or maternal employment early in the  child's life on either PPVT or BPI standard scores. However, the women who are not interviewed in any child-supplement year and the children for whom supplemental information is never collected appear to be the most disadvantaged. The omission of these children from the NLSY79-C may impact estimates of family characteristics on child outcomes, but  because there are relatively few such children, the effects of their omission  are likely to be small.

AB  - Leaving the interpretation of words up to participants in standardized survey interviews, aptitude tests, and experiment instructions can lead to unintended interpretation; more collaborative interviewing methods can promote uniform understanding. In two laboratory studies (a factorial experiment and a more naturalistic investigation), respondents interpreted ordinary survey concepts like 'household furniture' and 'living in a house' quite differently than intended in strictly standardized interviews, when the interpretation was left entirely up to them. Comprehension was more accurate when interviewers responded to requests for clarification with non-standardized paraphrased definitions, and most accurate when interviewers also provided clarification whenever they suspected respondents needed it.

AB  - An evaluation of new estimates of nonproduction and supervisory employee hours finds that the procedure currently used by Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) to estimate nonproduction and supervisory employee hours for the major sector productivity statistics does not misstate past productivity trends, but does undercount the number of hours worked. Therefore, to generate measures of hours for all employees, BLS must estimate the hours for nonproduction and supervisory workers. Thus, the lack of data for nonproduction and supervisory workers is not resulting in biased measures of productivity trends. One might expect businesses to vary the utilization of production workers relative to nonproduction workers around recessions, and similarly for the utilization of nonsupervisory workers relative to supervisory workers.

AB  - The new Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) business employment dynamics data series captures establishment-level employment changes that are absent from other BLS series. The new BLS measures of gross job gains and gross job losses afford a more thorough understanding of the employment decisions of the millions of business establishments in the U.S. economy. Examining establishment-level employment changes aids in analyzing both the large gross job flows that underlie the substantially smaller net employment changes and the establishment-level employment dynamics across various stages of the business cycle. Special attention is given to technical issues such as the seasonal adjustment of gross job gains and gross job losses, how the business employment dynamics data compare with other BLS establishment-based employment series, and establishment openings and closings relative to births and deaths.

AB  - The book "Women, Power, and Ethnicity: Working Toward Reciprocal Empowerment," offers a journey into the writers' original research on gender-based power. In what the authors coin reciprocal empowerment, women are better able to compete with the traditional power models of control, authority, and influence through a separate model of power that begins with personal authority and self-respect. To test their theories about women and their perception of power, the authors surveyed 136 women by ethnographic category. The seven categories researched were African-American, Asian-American, Caribbean-American, European-American, Latin-American, Middle Eastern-American and Native American. In their own words, the writers' lamented the need to combine the somewhat dissimilar Cuban-American and Puerto Rican-American categories under the Latin American category.

AB  - Few studies have estimated the prevalence and mean urinary cadmium levels in U.S. workers and the factors associated with high cadmium exposure. In this study, urinary cadmium measurements were obtained on 11,228 U.S. workers aged 18 to 64 years who participated in the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III, 1988-1994). Urinary cadmium levels ranged from 0.01 to 15.57 μg/L, with a geometric mean of 0.30 μg/L (0.28 μg/g creatinine) for all U.S. workers. The prevalence of urinary cadmium levels ≤5 μg/L was 0.42% (551,000)for U.S. workers aged 18 to 64 years. Among U.S. workers in the metal industry (two-digit Standard Industrial Classification or SIC codes 33 and 34), the geometric mean urinary cadmium level was 0.48 μg/L (0.39 μg/g creatinine), and 0.45% of these workers had urinary cadmium levels ≤10 μg/L. The prevalence of urinary cadmium levels ≤15 μg/L was 0.0028% (3,907). The agriculture industry (two-digit SIC codes 01, 02, and 07-09) was associated with low urinary cadmium levels, compared with repair services industries (twodigit SIC codes 75 and 76). Results from ordinary least squares regression analyses indicated that smokers had significantly higher urinary cadmium levels than nonsmokers (p ≥ 0.0001). The results also showed that there were high urinary cadmium levels among workers in selected occupations and industries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - I offer new evidence on the adjustment of local labor markets to geographic shifts in labor demand within US metropolitan areas using a unique data set in which metropolitan subregions are geographically matched across the 1970–1980 and 1980–1990 decades. The evidence uncovered paints the following picture. Workers, especially those with less education, make incomplete adjustments within metropolitan areas in response to intra-metropolitan demand shifts. Although blacks may not make especially limited adjustments, they have disproportionately suffered deleterious effects from job movements because the demand shifts have tended to be away from their places of residence.

AB  - Clyde Tucker, Bureau of Labor Statistics Michael Brick, Westat Brian Meekins, Bureau of Labor Statistics The percentage of households in the U.S. with a telephone is an important determinant of coverage in random digit dial (RDD) telephone surveys and also affects the efficiency of using the telephone as a mode of data collection in many household surveys. In the last few years, cell phones have become vastly more popular and this has added further complexity to this issue. For example, some households are dropping their landline telephone and only using wireless phones, and others are keeping their landline but using their wireless phones most of the time. Understanding the trends in the percentages of households with different types of telephone service and their uses of these services is essential for survey research that uses the telephone in any major capacity. In February 2002 a group of researchers met to discuss the implications of these emerging trends for survey research with a focus on RDD surveys. One of the outcomes of the meeting was an offer by the U.S. Census Bureau to collect data on telephone service in households as a supplement to its Current Population Survey (CPS). A subcommittee of the researchers developed and tested an instrument to assess the types of telephone services and key aspects of the use of these telephone services by household members. This short series of items will be asked in about 36,000 households in the February 2004 CPS supplement. This paper begins with an examination of trends for different types of telephone service based on an examination of data from the BLS Consumer Expenditure Survey Program that measures expenditures for various forms of telephone service.  Following this analysis, preliminary results from the CPS Supplement will be presented.  Estimates will provide the latest numbers on the percentages of households with a landline only, those with no landline but with wireless service, those with both... [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - In the U.S. Consumer Expenditure Interview Survey (CEQ), consumer units (roughly equivalent to households) are asked to provide month-by-month reports of the amounts of money spent on each of a large number of items.  Reported expenditures are recorded at a relatively fine level of detail defined by the six-digit Universal Classification Code (UCC).  In panel surveys, it is often important to evaluate response rates at several levels, including the aggregate (unit) level, panel-specific and wave-specific levels and item-specific levels. This paper considers these issues in two ways. First, we provide a detailed review of the relevant literature, with special attention devoted to the abovementioned distinctions, and to survey characteristics and predictor variables associated with variability in response rates. Second, we present analyses of patterns of reporting rates in the U.S. Consumer Expenditure Interview Survey. The analyses place special emphasis on the relationships of reporting rates with interviewer characteristics, the wave, the reference month and the distance between the reference month and the interview month.

AB  - The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) conducts the Annual Refiling Survey (ARS) each year.  During the ARS, individual state agencies mail questionnaires to approximately one third of the establishments registered with their state Unemployment Insurance programs.  These BLS-designed questionnaires ask staff at those establishments to verify or update preprinted address and industry information. In 2002, BLS conducted a five-state pilot test to see if preselected respondents would use the Touchtone Response System (TRS).  The TRS consists of a short phone call with an automated script, and was available to respondents whose preprinted information was correct.  Successful TRS responses eliminate the need for mail returns, with the potential for substantial savings in postage and labor.  Therefore, another component of the pilot test was an embedded experiment to assess whether various contact strategies would increase TRS participation.  Within each state, establishments were randomly assigned to receive one of three experimental communications urging touchtone response (TRS-specific letter, flyer, or both), or the standard survey letter (control group). This paper has two objectives.  The first is to describe the results of the pilot test and to present the results of the experiment.  The second is to document the issues that arose in describing response rates for this multi-mode survey, especially the TRS component.  The paper draws on the discussion in AAPOR’s Standard Definitions (2000) for mail surveys of named individuals, and attempts to modify those definitions to fit a multi-mode establishment survey.

AB  - Past efforts to assess the impact of effort in telephone surveys have focused primarily on the outcome of survey response as a result of the number of call attempts or refusal conversion efforts.  This paper furthers this research by examining the impact of calling effort on both nonresponse and data quality using multiple logistic and Poisson regression models.  Specifically, we examine whether reluctant respondents (defined by past refusal or repeated callbacks), and hard to reach respondents (defined by a large number of non-contacts) provide data of significantly lower quality.  We use data from eight quarters of the Telephone Point-of-Purchase Survey, a large, nationally representative RDD rotating panel survey conducted four times per year (n=143,626).  Extensive effort is expended on the TPOPS.  The hard-to-reach group is 15 percent of the total sample and has a mean number of attempts of nearly 17. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) conducts the TPOPS to collect the sample frame used in pricing goods and services for the Consumer Price Index.  Respondents identify the name and address of the ?outlets? (e.g., grocery stores, theatres, physicians, and mail-order catalogs) where they purchase various types of goods and services.  This type of completely volunteered information is greatly affected by respondent motivation.  Quality is assessed by the number of outlets reported and the quality of the address information for those outlets.  In addition, data inconsistency and completeness is examined.  Controlling for many other factors, we find reluctant respondents report significantly less complete outlet addresses than the overall sample and significantly fewer unique outlets.  Hard-to-reach respondents report less complete outlet information and report somewhat fewer unique outlets, as well.  These groups are also less likely to complete subsequent waves of the survey. Conversely, demographics are improved by pursuing the reluctant and hard to reach... [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The impact of question order on survey data has long been studied in the literature. When examining the data or the effect of changes of the context in a question, most studies examine mean differences among observed variables.  However, it is hypothesized that survey data may be affected in other ways as well, such as changes in the way underlying constructs are measured. To investigate this possibility, this study examined the impact of question order changes on the measurement of latent constructs structural equation modeling (SEM).  SEM allows for relationships between observed and unobserved variables to be estimated, as well as multi-group comparisons.  This study used data from the 1986 and 1987 General Social Survey (GSS) which contained a question order experiment commonly considered to elicit context effects.  The data contained a manipulation of the order of presentation for a series of specific items regarding various aspects of life satisfaction, and a general question asking about overall life satisfaction. SEM was used to examine differences between groups in each question order condition on both the factor loadings and error variances using multi-group comparisons in a series of nested models. The analysis revealed that groups did not differ on any of the factor loadings in the model; the question order manipulation did not change the relationship between the observed and unobserved variables. Results suggest that question order effects may not significantly alter the way survey items measure underlying constructs related to life satisfaction.  Implications of these findings are discussed, as are the limitations of this study and suggestions for future research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The Consumer Expenditure Diary (CED) is a nationwide survey of households currently used by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) to collect expenditures on small frequently purchased items.  In the fall of 2000, BLS set out to research and design a more ?user-friendly? diary (the Redesigned Diary) to stem the declining response rates and data quality, which some researchers attributed to the complicated structure of the diary currently used in production (the Current Diary). The Current Diary asks respondents to record their expenses under 42 detailed subcategories, within four broad categories.  To reduce the respondent burden of navigating through the 42 subcategories, the Redesigned Diary was reduced to just the four broad categories.  Analysis from the field test data indicated that the Redesigned Diary was comparable to the Current Diary in response rates, overall expenditures, and was highly favored by the field interviewers, but that respondents failed to record at a sufficient level of detail.  This loss of detail was attributed to the elimination of the examples, or cues, that were found within the subcategories.   To test this hypothesis, a team was chartered to evaluate alternative ways of adding cues to the recording pages, without adding back in the 42 subcategories.  Two prototypes were designed: one with cues along the top of the recording pages and another with cues along the sides of the pages.  These prototypes, along with a diary with no cues on the recording pages, were cognitively tested. This paper presents findings from further analysis of the field test data and data from the cognitive testing of the cued Redesigned Diary prototypes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The effect of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, on the New York City economy was far reaching and extended to every borough of the city. Thirty-six percent of the 89 individuals killed on the airplanes that crashed into the towers were traveling on services-related business. The terrorist attack also had a profound impact on the city's economy, its labor market dynamics, and individual businesses. A look at employment distribution in Manhattan shows that more than 40 percent of all jobs there in 2000 were in the" export" sector — 25.7 percent were in finance and insurance and the professional, scientific, and technical NAICS sectors alone; giving support to the importance of the" export" sector to the overall Manhattan economy.

AB  - The influence of the baby-boom generation on the U.S. unemployment rate continues unabated today. Flaim explained the impact of the baby boomers on the Nation's unemployment rate by disaggregating the labor force into 22 different age-and-sex groupings' and then calculating the change in the unemployment rate due to three causal factors: that due exclusively to changes in the incidence of unemployment among the various age-and-sex groupings that make up the labor force — in other words, changes in the unemployment rate due to the cyclical and structural changes that take place in the economy.

AB  - Workplace fatalities among foreign-born workers reflect the large influx of those workers into the U.S. workforce and their employment in occupations and industries with inherently higher risks of fatal injury. In 2001, the fatality rate for all U.S. workers decreased to a series low of 4.3 per 100,000 workers, but the fatality rate for foreign-born workers recorded a series high of 5.7 per 100,000 workers. Foreign-born workers are disproportionately represented in occupations and industries with higher risks of fatality. Low educational attainment, lack of English proficiency, and other factors contribute to employment of many foreign-born workers in lower paying, sup 7 higher risk jobs.

AB  - As the economic expansion of the 1990s neared its peak, both the incidence and likelihood of job loss remained low. many displaced workers found new jobs, but earnings losses persisted. The final years of the 1990s expansion brought continued job and wage gains across the economic spectrum, although job loss remained a reality for many workers. Using data from the January 2002 supplemental survey, this article examines job loss and reemployment, focusing on characteristics of workers displaced in 1999-2000 and their experiences following a job loss.

AB  - This ninth edition of American Woman, of the Women's Research and Education Institute series, focuses on daughters of the feminist revolution, women between the ages of 25 and 34. The commitment of young women to the world of work outside the home is further substantiated by their statistics on women's educational preparation for careers, resulting in a narrowing earnings gap between men and women, and the growing labor force participation of women with young children. The dilemma faced by many daughters is the competition of their career preparation for the very years that a woman by nature is most able to bear children.

AB  - This article investigates whether the earnings premium found with use of incentive pay is offset by lower supplemental pay. More comprehensive measures of employer costs for employee compensation are used to test the hypothesis. These data indicate that bonuses, overtime work, pension provision, and shift differentials can be less common in jobs with incentive pay, but the lower incidence of these forms of compensation does not offset the higher earnings associated with incentive pay.

N2  - This paper examines the impact of maternal employment during a child's first 3 years and during adolescence on his or her decisions to engage in a range of risky behaviors: smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol, using marijuana and other drugs, engaging in sex and committing crimes. Using data from the NLSY79 and its young adult supplement, we do not find strong evidence that mother's employment--whether early in the child's life or during adolescence--affects the likelihood of participation in risky behaviors. We note as a caveat, however, that insufficient statistical precision makes it difficult, at times, to distinguish some potentially important effects from effects that are essentially equal to zero.

AB  - We investigate the impact of tax subsidies on the firm’s decision to offer insurance, and on conditional firm spending on insurance. We do so using the micro-data underlying the Employment Cost Index, which has a major advantage for this exercise: the matching of very high quality compensation data with information on a sample of workers in the firm. We find that, overall, there is a moderately sized elasticity of insurance offering with respect to after-tax prices (−0.25), and a larger elasticity of insurance spending (−0.7). We also find that the elasticities are driven primarily by small firms, for whom the elasticity is larger. And we find that there is significant value added to this employer-based data: replicating methods from standard micro-data sources in our data lead to misleading estimates of these key parameters. Our simulation results suggest that major tax reform could lead to an enormous reduction in employer-provided health insurance spending. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - To explore learning outcomes from international traineeships for undergraduate medical students. In-depth interviews were conducted with 24 undergraduate medical students at Maastricht University Medical School, the Netherlands. The 24 subjects were selected by purposeful sampling. Students reported meaningful learning outcomes in 6 domains: medical knowledge; skills; international health care organisation; international medical education; society and culture, and personal growth. International traineeships appear to provide good opportunities for students to meet the requirements of globalisation as well as some of the generic objectives of undergraduate medical education. The tentative findings of this study need to be confirmed by further studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Explored learning outcomes from international traineeships for undergraduate medical students. In-depth interviews were conducted with 24 undergraduate medical students at Maastricht University Medical School, the Netherlands. The 24 subjects were selected by purposeful sampling. Students reported meaningful learning outcomes in 6 domains: medical knowledge; skills; international health care organisation; international medical education; society and culture, and personal growth. International traineeships appear to provide good opportunities for students to meet the requirements of globalisation as well as some of the generic objectives of undergraduate medical education. The tentative findings of this study need to be confirmed by further studies. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)

N2  - When parents and children care about each other's utility, increases in parental income need not always lead to decreases in child labor. Adults raised in poor families make altruistic transfers to their elderly parents, which the parents take as repayment for income lost when their children were young and spent some time in school instead of work. There is some sufficiently high level of parental income at which children cease to believe that parents need a transfer, whereas parents still would like repayment, so both transfers and the hours of extra education that the transfers made possible cease. Child labor rises.

AB  - This article deals with the topics appearing in the August 2004 issue of Monthly Labor Review about the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' National Compensation Survey (NCS). The creation of the Bureau of Labor Statistics NCS has been a comprehensive effort to provide data on wages, costs, and benefits, all within one survey program. NCS outputs include the Employment Cost Index, which measures the change in employer costs for wages, salaries, and benefits, and the Employer Costs for Employee Compensation, which measures the average employer cost per employee hour worked for wages, salaries, and benefits. The NCS also provides data on the incidence and detailed provisions for medical, dental, and vision care; private retirement plans; and other benefits for employees in all sizes of establishments. A major goal of the NCS is to produce data linking information on benefit plan details to wages and employer benefit plan costs. The forerunner of the NCS benefits portion was the Employee Benefits Survey (EBS). Before the advent of the NCS, the EBS had provided data on the incidence and detailed provisions of selected benefits for different sectors of the economy in alternating years.

AB  - This article describes each of the new benefit data items from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' National Compensation Survey (NCS). Most of the benefits data traditionally produced by the NCS and its predecessor surveys have come in three forms: a dollars-and-cents measure of the cost to employers of providing benefit plans to their employees, changes in employer costs over time, and a measure of the number or proportion of employees who receive benefit plans. In response to requests from users, the NCS benefits program offers new counting measures that afford additional perspectives on benefit plan coverage beyond those published in earlier surveys. The NCS also provides a new measure of employer cost, described later in the article. The new NCS database on benefits features a standard set of breakouts that provides additional information on coverage by both worker and establishment characteristics. Over the next 4 years, the sample devoted to publishing data on benefits coverage will gradually increase from the 2003 figure of 2,900 establishments to approximately 13,000. As the sample increases, additional breakouts may be published. This article focuses on those breakouts which are new to the survey.

AB  - This article compares the four measures of incidence of employee benefits studied in the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' National Compensation Survey (NCS) in private industry for 2003. One of the problems in presenting data on employee benefits is how best to report on those benefits. This article largely addresses this issue and the different findings. For wage and salary information, the NCS program generally obtains data for individual employees. This is done because there are often significant variations among individual employees in the rate of pay within the same occupation. However, employer-provided benefits do not vary in the same way. For this discussion, employee benefits are classified as wage-related and nonwage-related. When benefits are wage-related, they are typically a percent of the salary or a fixed amount for each period worked or paid. Wage-related benefits are most typically paid vacations and holidays and legally required benefits such as Social Security. Nonwage-related benefits are those for which the employer pays a fixed amount that is not directly related to the employee's salary. Typical examples are health insurance plans and some retirement plans and nonproduction bonuses.

AB  - This article explores incidents of decline in the medical care and retirement plan coverage for various populations within private industry in the U.S. Between 1992-93 and 2003, the percentage of private sector workers participating in employer-provided medical care plans steadily declined. Medical care covered 63 percent of workers in 1992-1993, compared with 45 percent in 2003. There were less dramatic declines in retirement plan coverage. Such plans covered 53 percent of workers in 1992-1993, compared with 49 percent in 2003. These declines may be the result of shifts in the composition of the labor force, changes in employer decisions to offer coverage or employee decisions to choose coverage, or some combination of these and other factors. Using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics National Compensation Survey, this analysis begins to quantify how some of these factors affect the overall decline in benefits coverage. Medical care coverage declined for various populations within private industry. Among fulltime workers, there was a 17-percentage point decline in medical care coverage over the decade, from 73 percent in 1993-1994 to 56 percent in 2003. Part-time workers rarely have medical care coverage, thus there was little change in the percent of part-time workers covered.

AB  - This article examines the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data on employer-provided prescription-drug coverage and discusses how cost-saving methods have emerged as of August 2004. Prescription drugs are an integral part of the high-quality health care those living in the U.S. have come to know. More than 60 percent of U.S. citizens fill at least one prescription annually. U.S. expenditures on prescription drugs reached $162.4 billion in 2002, more than 10 percent of the total spent on all health care. From 1993 to 2003, while the general rate of inflation remained relatively low, medical care costs continued to rise rapidly, with prescription-drug costs one of the contributing factors. As one of the main sources of health coverage in the U.S., private-sector employers are striving to contain the cost of employee medical plans and, along with them, the cost of prescription-drug coverage. Employers have implemented a variety of methods to stem the rising costs of providing such coverage. U.S. aggregate spending for prescription drugs more than tripled over the 1993-2003 period. Two main factors drove the increase in expenditures: rising prices and increasing utilization of prescription drugs.

AB  - This article describes the integration of the separate surveys into the U.S. Labor Statistics' National Compensation Survey (NCS) and presents trial statistics for health insurance, as of August 2004. Over the last several years, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has consolidated several of its compensation surveys into the NCS. Combining the separate surveys into one integrated program provides greater efficiency in data collection and processing, and also provides greater flexibility in the calculation of compensation measures. Several new statistics are planned for publication from the NCS, which should give data users a more complete understanding of the compensation package a U.S. worker typically receives. Data are available from the first collection period of the NCS. It is now possible to calculate trial estimates for the proposed statistics. Trial statistics for health insurance were calculated based on the integrated NCS data collection. The sample is restricted to private establishments. The reference month for most of the data is June 2003. Almost all of the remaining data refer to either May or July 2003. The sample of establishments matches the sample used for the NCS statistics in Employee Benefits in Private Industry.

N2  - This paper examines how changes in marital status and the length of time in current marital status affect the probability of filing for personal bankruptcy. The results show that the probability of filing differs significantly by marital status. Divorced households are more likely to file in the first two years after divorce while married households and single households file later in their tenure. A further contribution of this paper is that it represents the first use of the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) to examine whether there is duration dependence in personal bankruptcy.

The study of technological change is important because it is a powerful tool in economic growth. One reason for the strength of the U.S. economy over time is the willingness to invest in research and development (R&D). Further, technological change brings us the faster, better, and cheaper goods and services. Studying the decisions to invest in R&D and then the diffusion of this technology remains an important topic of research.

AB  - This article reports on the increase in U.S. export and import prices in 2003. Prices for imports rose 2.4 percent, following a 4.2 percent increase in 2002, while export prices gained 2.2 percent, up from a 1 percent rise in 2002. During 2001-2003, U.S. economic indicators for prices suggested a marked slowdown in inflationary pressures, and in May of 2003, the U.S. Federal Reserve Board expressed concern over the possibility of an unwelcome substantial fall in inflation. Nevertheless, prices for agricultural and petroleum products, traditionally volatile price components strengthened along with prices for other raw materials during 2003 to bring about overall gains for the year. However, the increases in prices for these two commodity areas, along with the depreciation of the U.S. dollar against many major foreign currencies, did not appear to have significant impact on prices for imported finished goods. Prices for imported petroleum and petroleum products led to the overall growth in import prices, but the 12.8 percent increase in the petroleum index was up far less than the sharp increase on 56.9 percent in 2002. The U.S. dollar's depreciation against many major currencies appeared to have a small impact on the 2003 increases in prices for imported finished goods.

AB  - This article deals with the findings of a study regarding the use of Employer Cost Index (ECI) to correlate the relationship between benefits and wages in the U.S. Accounting for employee benefits as a form of real compensation for work has received much theoretical and empirical attention. The hedonic theory of compensating wage differentials contends that workers make tradeoffs between wages and benefits. That is, in lieu of lower wages, workers are compensated by taking the greater benefits offered by employers. Empirical approaches to estimating the tradeoff however, have generally failed to correspond with theory. The value of employee benefits is of increasing importance to researchers and policymakers alike. A Study from the Employee Benefits Research Institute reports that employee benefits became an even greater proportion of total compensation, rising from 26.8 percent to 28.9 percent between 1987 and 1994. Employee benefit cost data, along with wage and salary data, come from the survey used by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics to generate the quarterly price index for employer costs, known as the ECI. Several aspects of the ECI made the calculations of average benefit costs especially troublesome.

AB  - This article discusses the post-recession trends and economic indicators in nonfarm employment, as of September 2004. Historically, private employment and real corporate profits behave similarly at the end of a recession. Both reach a trough as the recession ends and then recover quickly. At the end of the 1990-1991 recession, both profits and employment continued to move in parallel, but were lagged in their recovery. Leading into the 2001 recession, growth of corporate profits stalled and deeply declined. Employment declined as well during the recession, but not as drastically as corporate profits. Since reaching a trough in the third quarter of 2001, corporate profits have increased by 56 percent. Employment, on the other hand, remained essentially unchanged until late 2003. Rising productivity explains, at least in part, the divergence in profits and employment. Meanwhile, corporate profits declined substantially from the first to fourth quarter of 2001 and then recovered quickly. A large part of this swing is tied to the financial situation of three industry groups: information technology-related manufacturing, information industries, and transportation. The difficult financial situation in computer and electronic products, information, and transportation and warehousing resulted in cost-setting initiatives that included numerous layoffs.

AB  - This article describes the evolution of the American Time Use Survey (ATUS) from its inception as an issue of statistical policy interest in 1991 to its implementation in January 2003 as an ongoing monthly survey sponsored by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). In April 1991, the bureau sent a representative to a conference sponsored by Statistics Canada on the measurement and valuation of unpaid work. Between 1995 and 1997, the working group undertook two significant activities directly related to examining the task of collecting time-use data. The BLS pilot study on time use was conducted in 1997. Two of the themes that emerged from a 1997 conference entitled Time-Use, Non-Market Work, and Well-Being greatly influenced subsequent work on the survey. Some key assumptions and constraints were imposed at the outset of the third phase of the development of the ATUS. The choice of one individual per household as the unit of observation was a key point in the deliberations. The bureau also considered a mail-out, mail-back protocol. In the end, the arguments were viewed as survey methodological preferences rather than absolute statistical requirements. In December 2000, the survey received official approval and funding.

AB  - This paper reports on multiple-fatality incidents in workplaces in the last five years of the 1990s. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries identified 1,109 instances in which two or more workers died of injuries sustained in the same job-related incident during the 1995-99 period. These incidents claimed the lives of 2,949 workers. One way to measure multiple-fatality incidents is by the average number of fatalities per incident. Water vessel casualty fatalities and fire fatalities, for example, each account for less than two percent of overall fatalities. The reason for the prominence of air crashes in multiple-fatality counts is that aircraft average three decedents per multiple-fatality incident, compared with two for multiple-fatality highway incidents. Of the nine incidents involving 10 or more fatalities, for example, seven were air crashes. Assaults and violent acts account for about one-fifth of multiple-fatality incidents and fatalities, slightly more than for fatalities overall. The fatal event or exposure, such as the air crash, head-on highway collision, robbery-murder, explosion or structural collapse, is the most consistent factor underlying the multiple-fatality phenomenon. Multiple homicides were particularly prevalent in used-car dealerships during the study period.

AB  - This article examines public sector employment in recession and recovery. The federal government created a new agency in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, while the U.S. Postal Service felt the brunt of the recession and continued experiencing financial difficulties. Total private payroll employment peaked in December 2000, but job growth in government boosted total nonfarm employment. Despite the jobless epithet, the labor market fared better following the 1990s recession than following the 2001 recession. Employment slowly started to recover in September 2003. In 1993, the federal government began to reduce its civilian employment, while other industries added jobs. Federal employment peaked in March 2003 and then declined by 73,000 over the next 15 months. Between 1991 and 1995, shipbuilding shed almost two-thirds of its workers, and employment flattened out during the last half of the decade. While the terrorist attacks and later concerns regarding the mailing of biological agents altered the normal day-to-day operations of the Postal Service, they did not influence the trend of small employment declines through attrition.  Even though the recession ended during the 2001-02 school year, education employment continued to grow at a healthy pace, as it did during the 1990s recession.

AB  - This article builds on the quarterly Business Employment Dynamics statistics released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics by presenting annual tabulations of gross job gains and losses in the U.S. as of 2002. One of the most interesting conclusions that has come from the Business Employment Dynamics data series is that the 2001 recession is characterized by a decline in gross job gains accompanied by an increase in gross job losses. The annual net employment change is more than 2 percent in March 1999 and March 2000, falls to 0.82 percent in March 2001, and is -2.57 percent in March 2002. Annual gross job gains and losses statistics for the manufacturing sector are computed from the Business Employment Dynamics data. For the manufacturing sector, the average annual rate of gross job gains over 4 years is 9.4 percent and the average annual rate of gross job losses is 12.6 percent. The annual gross job gains and losses statistics show the tremendous amount of churning that underlies the net growth of employment. Indeed, every year in the U.S. economy, millions of establishments remaining ion operation are adding or subtracting from their workforces, creating the turnover of millions of jobs. At the same time, hundreds of thousands of establishments open and close every year, causing the simultaneous gain and loss of millions of jobs.

AB  - This article provides an overview of the estimates from the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS). Statistics on job openings are a necessary complement to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics unemployment data for a complete picture of the labor market; job openings data represent unmet labor demand and unemployment data represent excess labor supply. The parallel concept of these two data sources allows direct comparisons. In theory, job openings should move in the opposite direction of unemployment over the course of the business cycle. Quits tend to decrease during recessions because workers' outlook toward finding another job worsens with deteriorating economic conditions. As economic conditions worsened throughout 2001 and 2002, consumer confidence plunged, and fewer people quit their jobs than at the same time the prior year. The seasonally adjusted quits series shows a decrease throughout the published series, and the consumer confidence index exhibits the same downward trend as the quits rate over the course of the series. The consumer confidence series shows something of a rebound in late 2003 and early 2004, perhaps signaling that quits may be expected to increase even further in late 2004. The correlation of quits and consumer confidence is 0.80, which is positive and significant.

AB  - This article describes the effects of the conversion of the industry labor productivity measures made by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) on the industry productivity data. The conversion to NAICS has impacted the industry productivity measures in a number of ways. The NAICS classification system is a more consistent framework and a conceptual improvement for productivity measurement. At the same time, the conversion has reduced the number of industries and industry groups for which productivity measures are calculated in certain sectors, such as manufacturing. In addition, the assumption of a fixed relationship between NAICS and Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) industries that underlies the conversion for many industries may not be appropriate, particularly for new and emerging industries. Nonetheless, a comparison of productivity trends for several major sectors where BLS maintains extensive coverage of productivity measures shows similar productivity trends throughout the 1990s as compared to comparable SIC sectors. Like the SIC-based data, the NAICS productivity measures also continue to show a productivity speedup in the latter half of the 1990s, compared to the first half. Recognizing current data limitations, improvements to current estimates based on ongoing research will be incorporated in future updates as more and better information becomes available, and efforts to expand industry productivity coverage to new industries will continue. Meanwhile, NAICS provides an improved road map for classifying industries. By more accurately reflecting the current structure of the economy and underlying similarities in production processes, NAICS enhances our understanding of current productivity developments.

AB  - This article summarizes major U.S. Federal healthcare statistical surveys and identifies selected benefit provisions. There are three major Federal household surveys that collect data on healthcare benefits, namely, the Current Population Survey (CPS), the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP), and the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey Household Component (MEPS-HC). The CPS is a monthly household survey jointly conducted by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and the Bureau of Census. The SIPP is conducted by the Bureau of Census and provides information on the source and amount of income, labor force information, program participation and eligibility data, and general demographic characteristics to measure the effectiveness of existing Federal, State, and local programs. The MEPS-HC Survey collects medical expenditure data at both the person and household levels. The statistical system of the U.S. is highly decentralized, with a myriad of Federal agencies involved in the collection and analysis of health statistics. The missions of agencies differ, with some having a major focus of investigation, regulation, or enforcement, while others such as the BLS being exclusively a statistical agency. These different purposes result in outputs varying in scope of coverage, methodology, and timing.

The structures of the agreements are explained, the existing economic conditions of the countries are examined, the bilateral trade pattern between these nations and the United States is provided, a summary of the major existing trade barriers facing each country is detailed, and the likely economic and employment impacts are explored. These agreements not only liberalize trade, but also open service sectors, strengthen intellectual property and foreign investment protections, liberalize immigration, and introduce labor and environmental standards. These agreements are compared to the earlier FTA with Jordan and the NAFTA with Mexico.

AB  - The article discusses the use of data from the American Time Use Survey (ATUS) to shed light on the accuracy of hours-worked reports in the Current Population Survey (CPS) in the U.S. The number of hours people work for pay is an important economic measure. In addition to being a measure of labor utilization, it is a component of other economic statistics. Previous studies that assess the accuracy of hours data from establishment surveys either compare hours data for the same industries across surveys, or evaluate accuracy using cognitive methods such as focus groups and interviews with respondents. The data used in this study are from the new American Time-Use Survey. The ATUS sample is a stratified random sample that is drawn from households that have completed their participation in the CPS and is representative of the U.S. civilian population. The data cover the January-December 2003 period. For comparison purposes, the survey considers consider three alternative measures of hours worked and one measure of time at work from the time diary data. The study also compared four definitions of time-diary measures of hours worked from the ATUS to retrospective measures from these respondents' final CPS interview.

AB  - This article provides background on the Bureau  of Labor Statistics (BLS) survey and the change in the recordkeeping rules of the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). In 2002, the OSHA implemented a number changes in the definitions of injury and illness cases recorded by employers. The new definitions in turn resulted in changes in occupational injury and illness statistics provided by the BLS. For more than 30 years, the BLS has been reporting on the number and rate of workplace injuries and illnesses, an activity that was mandated with the passage, in 1970, of the Occupational Safety and Health Act. BLS injury and illness data are collected strictly for statistical reporting purposes and undergo the confidentiality and data security screening that apply to all of the Agency's programs. These data collection and reporting activities are independent of the regulatory and inspection activities of OSHA. Employers covered under the Occupational Safety and Health Act are required to maintain records of injuries and illnesses that meet OSHA definitions. The BLS and the OSHA play very different roles with regard to worker safety, as indicated in the mission statement of each agency

AB  - The article provides a detailed analysis of the hedonic modeling process and to illustrate the characteristics of two data sources the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics has chosen to utilize in its ongoing research on hedonic-based quality adjustment methods. Early research by BLS personnel and a significant portion of the current research done by the consumer price index (CPI) staff in this area rely upon the existing sample of CPI data for the creation of hedonic regression models. With home-based telephones (corded or cordless), the Bureau has an opportunity to compare the process and results of using both in-house and out-of-house data in the creation of hedonic regression models. This article discusses the issues of data quality, the specification of a model, and the application of hedonic quality adjustments to substitutions in the CPI sample. The price data used in the analysis that follows were collected by BLS data collectors for the CPI and by the NPD Group, a private firm that collects and sells point-of-sale marketing information. The CPI sample consists of price data for home-based telephones from the official CPI sample and a specially designed supplemental research sample that was created and collected in order to increase the robustness of the existing sample to facilitate hedonic modeling research.

AB  - The article provides information on fatal workplace injuries at road construction sites in the U.S. During the 1995 to 2002 period, 844 workers were killed while working at a road construction site. More than half of these fatalities were attributable to a worker being struck by a vehicle or mobile equipment. The range of these fatal occupational injuries was a low of 93 in 1996 and a high of 124 in 1999. Fatal workplace injuries at road construction sites were first identified as a separate category in the Bureau of Labor Statistics Census (BLC) of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI) in 1995. Since that time, overall workplace fatalities have generally declined, but fatalities at road construction sites have fluctuated, staying in the low 100's since 1998. A number of safety measures exist for road construction sites. For instance, the Federal Highway Administration's Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices provides guidance ranging from the types of signs to use at a road construction site to the proper use of rumble strips. There are various definitions of what constitutes a road construction site. According to the BLS Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries, a road construction site includes, road construction workers and vehicle occupants fatally injured in work zones. Work zones include construction, maintenance, and utility work on a road, street, or highway.

AB  - We analyze models of product differentiation with perfect price discrimination and free entry. With a fixed number of firms, and in the absence of coordination failures, perfect price discrimination provides incentives for firms to choose product characteristics in a socially optimal way. However, with free entry, the number of firms is always excessive. Our results apply to a large class of models of product differentiation. They also apply to models of common agency or lobbying with free entry and imply that one has excessive entry into the ranks of the principals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of the revised scaffold safety standard in the construction industry and to evaluate time trend analyses on scaffold-related fatalities and injuries, as well as inspections conducted and cited violations of the scaffold safety standard set forth in Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 1926, Subpart L. Data on scaffold-related fatalities, injuries, and lost workdays, as well as cited violations of scaffold safety, were assembled from sources such as the US Department of Labor''s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Integrated Management Information System, and Bureau of Labor Statistics. Data for the period prior to the revision of the standard were compared with data from the period after the revision. We used autoregressive analyses to evaluate the percentage of change in the mean scaffold-related fatalities, injuries and lost workdays and in the OSHA inspections and cited violations of scaffold safety. Effectiveness analysis was conducted to assess the effectiveness of the revised scaffold safety standard in preventing fatal or nonfatal injuries in the construction industry. Complying with the revised scaffold safety standard would prevent approximately 4.6 fatalities, 404 nonfatal injuries, and 2896 lost workdays per year. A total cost savings associated with compliance was estimated at $5.8 million (2001 US$) per year. Compliance with the revised scaffold safety standard would provide a safer workplace and generate a significant cost saving in the construction industry. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

T1  - Relationships Among Expenditure Reporting Rates, Household Characteristics and Interview Processs Variables in the U.S. Consumer Expenditure Interview Survey.

AB  - In the U.S. Consumer Expenditure (CE) Interview Survey, consumer units (roughly equivalent to households) are asked to provide item-level monthly reports of expenditures.  For this survey, reporting rates (defined as the proportion of expenditure categories in which a consumer unit reports a purchase in a given month) are potentially useful indicators of data quality.  Cho, Eltinge and Steinberg (2004) reported preliminary results on relationships between reporting rates and some characteristics of interviewers and the timing of the interview.  The current paper extends this previous work in four ways.  First, we present detailed results from logistic regression modeling of reporting rates with predictor variables associated with household characteristics (e.g., family size and composition, as well as prior-interview expenditure reports) as well as variables associated with the interview process (e.g., the number of respondents and the use of records by the respondent during the interview).  Second, we supplement standard development and significance-testing results with diagnostics for the predictive power of the resulting models.  These diagnostics are especially important for evaluation of the potential practical benefits of modification of field procedures suggested by the modeling results.  Third, we extend these results to some specific groups of expenditure categories, and explore differences among the results for these groups.  Finally, we compare and contrast these empirical results with previous literature on response and reporting rates in single-wave and panel surveys. ..PAT.-Conference Proceeding [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

T1  - Advance Notice and Confidentiality Statements for Listed-Assisted Telephone Surveys.

AB  - Research on the use of advance letters without monetary incentive suggests a modest impact on cooperation for list-assisted telephone surveys.  In a recent review, Sangster estimated the average impact for response rates for RDD surveys was between zero and three percent, while Cantor et al. (2002) noted the impact appears to be declining over time.  However, the OMB was concerned about the response rate for the Telephone Point of Purchase Survey (TPOPS) and required the BLS to conduct an advance letter study.  The use of the advance letter provided an opportunity to test the impact of a lengthy confidentiality statement.  The statement of confidentiality was included in FAQ form on the back of the advance letter, and, for some, eliminated from the questionnaire.  In general, assurances of confidentiality have been shown to slightly impact response, cooperation, and data quality, for sensitive topics (Singer, Von Thorn, and Miller, 1995).   However, in a recent list-assisted RDD study, Singer (2003) found that confidentiality statements can increase perceived risk and reduce response. The TPOPS is a large, nationally representative list-assisted, RDD survey.  A treatment group of households with listed addresses received the advance letter, while a control group of listed households did not. A treatment group of those who received the letter skipped the confidentiality statement while a control group that received the letter received the confidentiality statement. This paper examines response and cooperation for unlisted households, listed households who did not receive a letter, and listed households that did receive a letter.  In addition, it examines response for the different administration of the confidentiality statement.  The timing of refusals (immediate, during the reading of the statement), effort expended in contacting or interviewing, and data quality are also examined. Certain subpopulations are found for which the treatments are more effective in encouraging cooperation. ..PAT.-Conference Proceeding [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - The World Bank's household surveys and the surveys carried out under the ILO's Statistical Information and Monitoring Programme on Child Labour are among the main sources of the data currently used to study the nature and extent of child labour. This article looks at the relative strengths and weaknesses of these instruments on the basis of surveys conducted in Zambia in 1998 (by the World Bank) and in 1999 (by the ILO). The authors compare not only the survey questionnaires, but also the data they generated and the policy conclusions that could be drawn from an analysis of those data.

N2  - In many well known studies, unit values are often used in place of observed prices when constructing price indexes or modeling demand systems. This study shows that one cannot get consistent estimates by replacing prices with their unit values. When computing price indexes, the use of unit values or unit value indexes will misspecify substitution effects and mismeasure the true price. The use of unit values as a price regressor in an aggregate demand model will misspecify the model even though the functional form of the demand model is correct. I then present empirical investigations using cereal sales data to evaluate a well known paper that estimated the welfare gain of a new cereal brand. I show that the use of unit values in this study biases the estimate of the welfare gain of the new brand.

AB  - The article presents information on the American Time Use Survey (ATUS). In January 2003, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics began a major initiative in gathering data on how Americans spend their time. The ATUS is the culmination of a design and development effort that lasted nearly ten years, including a pilot study in 1997 and full-scale field testing in 2002. The ATUS uses a random sample drawn from households that have recently completed their participation in the Current Population Survey. The American Time Use Survey is administered using computer-assisted telephone interviewing, rather than paper diaries as in many other countries. For labor and demographic economists, the ATUS will provide a wealth of useful information. Household bargaining and its outcomes have preoccupied students of family behavior. The absence of time-budget information on both spouses in ATUS households obviates the analysis of idiosyncratic family behavior; but the samples are large enough to allow the construction of large numbers of small cells containing information on matched pairs of observationally identical representative husbands/wives.

AB  - Targeting reemployment bonus offers to unemployment insurance (UI) claimants identified as most likely to exhaust benefits is estimated to reduce benefit payments. We show that targeting bonus offers with profiling models similar to those in state Worker Profiling and Reemployment Services systems can improve cost effectiveness. Since estimated average benefit payments do not steadily decline as the eligibility screen is gradually tightened, we find that narrow targeting is not optional. The best candidate is a low bonus amount with a long qualification period, targeted to the half of profiled claimants most likely to exhaust their UI benefit entitlement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - This paper examines the effects of a randomized housing-voucher program on individual economic outcomes. Public housing residents who are offered relocation counseling together with housing vouchers that can only be redeemed in low-poverty areas experience a reduction in welfare receipt of between 11% and 16% compared to controls. These effects are not accompanied by changes in earnings or employment rates as measured by unemployment insurance records. Offering families unrestricted housing vouchers without additional counseling appears to have little effect on economic outcomes.

AB  - This article discusses the labor legislation enacted by U.S. states as of January 2005. States enacted a lesser volume of labor legislation in 2004 than in recent years, due, in part, to an increased focus on budget issues. Forty-four States and the District of Columbia met in regular session, while the remaining States (Arkansas, Montana, North Dakota, Nevada, Oregon, and Texas) were not scheduled to meet in regular session in 2005. However, some of the latter did meet in special sessions dedicated to various issues. California, Connecticut, Illinois, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, Tennessee, and Virginia enacted a significant number of laws having to do with labor issues. Volume aside, the legislation that was enacted by the States addressed a significant number of employment standards areas and included many important measures. Worker privacy was the 'hot-button' issue of the year, with more than 30 pieces of legislation enacted, while issues such as workplace violence and security, a variety of prevailing-wage issues, drug and alcohol testing in the workplace, the discharge of employees, child labor issues regarding hours of work permitted, payment of wages to employees, and plant closings were all included in new or amended legislation enacted in 2004. The legislation covers 23 separate labor-related areas of interest.

AB  - This article focuses on changes in the laws governing workers' compensation in U.S. states as of January 2005. In 2004, a major legislative reform package was passed in California. The total cost of administering the Workers' Compensation Program will now be borne by the employer community through surcharges levied by the Director of Industrial Relations. Temporary disability benefits are now limited to 104 weeks within a period of 2 years from the date of commencement of temporary disability payments, but may be extended to 240 weeks for certain injuries. Beginning in 2005, employers may establish medical provider networks in an attempt to improve medical care for injured employees by providing them with a choice of physicians. The apportionment of permanent disability is now based on causation, and an employer is only liable for the portion of disability directly caused by the injury. In Georgia, the Subsequent Injury Trust Fund will cease to reimburse self-insured employers and insurers for a claim made on a subsequent injury occurring after June 30, 2008. In Louisiana, for injuries occurring between July 1, 2004, and July 1, 2007, an employer who retains in his employment an employee with a permanent partial disability shall be reimbursed from the Second Injury Fund for all weekly compensation payments payable after the first 130 weeks of payment. In New Jersey, the method for computing death benefits was changed from a sliding scale to just one benefit rate of 70 percent of wages for one or more dependents. In Washington, a licensed advanced registered nurse practitioner is now authorized to examine, diagnose, and treat injured workers covered by industrial insurance.

AB  - This article discusses the developments in Federal and State unemployment insurance law in the U.S. as of January 2005. During 2004, there was one Federal legislative enactment that affected the Federal-State unemployment insurance program. The State unemployment tax acts (SUTA) Dumping Prevention Act of 2004 was signed on August 9, 2004, and requires States to enact laws prohibiting SUTA dumping. SUTA dumping is an abusive practice used by some employers to manipulate experience-rating provisions of State law that apply when businesses are bought and sold. Briefly, the law establishes a nationwide minimum standard for curbing SUTA dumping. Under the law, States will be required to: prohibit practices that allow employers to pay lower State unemployment compensation taxes than their unemployment experience would otherwise allow; have procedures to detect such practices; and impose penalties on employers and financial advisors for knowingly violating (or attempting to violate) provisions of State law. States must enact these provisions as a condition of receiving administrative grants for operation of the unemployment compensation program. Thus, all States will need to amend their laws.

N2  - This paper is a replication of research reported by Steven Trejo in the 1991 American Economic Review. Trejo used labor force data from the seventies to assess the relevance of two contrasting views of the impact of overtime pay regulation. This paper reports research using a recent representative sample of U.S. private industry jobs that includes employer-reported measures of usual annual hours of overtime work and comprehensive measures of employer costs for job compensation. Comparisons are made between a set of jobs likely to be subject to U.S. overtime pay regulation--jobs paid hourly on 40 hour a week schedules--with another set of jobs that can offer overtime but are not likely to be subject to Federal overtime requirements--jobs on reduced hour schedules. The main findings of the research are: (1) higher wage rates are associated with a lower incidence of overtime work among the set of jobs with 40 hour work schedules, but not among the set of jobs with reduced hour schedules (2) in jobs using overtime work, more usual overtime work is associated with lower wage rates among the jobs with 40 hour work schedules, but not among the jobs on reduced hour schedules (3) higher "quasi-fixed" job compensation, such as employer health insurance costs, is associated with a higher incidence of overtime use. The paper also discusses some of the difficulties of interpreting these statistical results in the context of the labor market models considered by Trejo.

N2  - The gross job gains and gross job loss statistics from the BLS Business Employment Dynamics (BED) program measure the large gross job flows that underlie the quarterly net change in employment. In the fourth quarter of 2004, employment grew by 869,000 jobs. This growth is the sum of 8.1 million gross job gains from opening and expanding establishments, and 7.2 million gross job losses from contracting and closing establishments. The new BED data have captured the attention of economists and policymakers across the country, and these data are becoming a major contributor to our understanding of employment growth and business cycles in the U.S. economy. Following the initial release of the BED data in September 2003, the BED data series expanded in May 2004 with the release of industry statistics. The BLS then began work on tabulations by size class. The production of size-class statistics is a complex task involving several economic and statistical issues. Although it is trivial to classify a business into a size class in any given quarter, it is difficult to classify a business into a size class for a longitudinal analysis of employment growth. Several different classifications exist, and many of these possible classifications have appealing theoretical and statistical properties. Furthermore, these alternative classification methodologies result in sharply different portraits of employment growth by size class. In this article, we discuss the alternative statistical methodologies that the BLS considered for creating size class tabulations from the Business Employment Dynamics data. Our primary focus is on four methodologies: quarterly base-sizing, annual base-sizing, mean-sizing, and dynamic-sizing. We discuss the evaluation criteria that BLS considered for choosing its official size class methodology.

N2  - Purpose: This paper investigates whether permanent, one-time retirements are coming to an end just as the trend towards earlier and earlier retirements did nearly 20 years ago. We explore how common bridge jobs are among today's retirees, and how uncommon traditional retirements have become. Methods: Using data from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS), we explore the work histories and retirement patterns of a cohort of retirees aged 51 to 61 in 1992 over a ten-year time period in both a cross-sectional and longitudinal context. Bridge job determinants are examined using bivariate comparisons and a multinomial logistic regression model of the bridge job decision. Results: We find that one-half to two-thirds of the HRS respondents with full-time career jobs take on bridge jobs before exiting the labor force completely. We also find that bridge job behavior is most common among younger respondents, respondents without defined-benefit pension plans, and respondents at the lower- and upper-end of the wage distribution. Implications: The evidence suggests that changes in the retirement income landscape since the 1980s appear to be taking root. Going forward, traditional retirements will be the exception rather than the rule.

N2  - This paper reviews a procedure that is being followed in the United States of America (USA) to experimentally test and evaluate recommendations made for redefining poverty measurement in that country. The recommendations were made in 1995 by the US National Academy of Sciences (NAS) Panel on poverty measurement. In this paper these recommendations are reviewed and the impact of implementing the recommendations on measures of inequality and poverty are examined. In conclusion, a discussion concerning possible lessons for India is provided. The recommended poverty measure (based on new measures of thresholds and resources) is examined in terms of its impact on inequality statistics, as well as poverty statistics, and results are compared to similar statistics based on the official measure. The standard Gini index, and three generalized entropy inequality measures are used to examine inequality. For the poverty analysis simple head count ratios, poverty gaps, and Foster-Greer-Thorbecke poverty measures are computed. Data from the 1991 U.S. Consumer Expenditure Survey (CE) Interview are used to produce the thresholds, and data from the 1992 through 1997 Current Population Survey (CPS), and in some analyzes, the 1991 panel of the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP), are used to define resources. The proposed measure produces a distribution of resources that is, in general, more equal than is the distribution of official income. The poverty analysis reveals that changes in the poverty rates based on the official and the experimental measures are similar over time. However, poverty as measured by the NAS measure is greater than official poverty. The experimental poverty measure yields a poverty population that looks slightly more like the total U.S. population in terms of various demographic and socioeconomic characteristics than does the current official measure. Geographically adjusting the thresholds results in greater equality and lower poverty rates than when non-adjusted thresholds are used. With regard to India, poverty measurement is likely not to be based on income and expenditures primarily. Alternative measures based on other needs and resources are reviewed. However, regardless of the measure used, systematic evaluations of the measure are necessary and the USA model may be one to consider in this evaluation process.

N2  - The last two economic downturns are notable for their slow labor market recoveries. Yet, the behavior of their underlying gross job flows is quite different. The 1990-92 period had a relatively slow decline in job destruction, while the 2001-03 period had a large, persistent decline in job creation that occurs across most industries. The dynamics of the latter period run counter to the conventional wisdom that large movements in job destruction drive business cycles. Evidence spanning the entire postwar period suggests that job creation is at a historic low, and that its recent patterns are part of decades-long decline in the magnitude and volatility of job reallocation.

N2  - This paper tests whether school-to-work (STW) programs are particularly beneficial for those less likely to go to college in their absence--often termed the "forgotten half" in the STW literature. The empirical analysis is based on the NLSY97, which allows us to study six types of STW programs, including job shadowing, mentoring, coop, school enterprises, tech prep, and internships / apprenticeships. For men there is quite a bit of evidence that STW program participation is particularly advantageous for those in the forgotten half. For these men, among the strongest evidence is that mentoring and coop programs increase post-secondary education, and coop, school enterprise, and internship / apprenticeship programs boost employment and decrease idleness after leaving high school. There is less evidence that STW programs are particularly beneficial in increasing schooling among women in the forgotten half, although internship / apprenticeship programs do lead to positive earnings effects concentrated among these women.

N2  - Economists have long known that individual wages depend on a combination of employee and employer characteristics, as well as the interaction of the two. Although it is important to understand how employee and employer characteristics are related to wages, little is known about the magnitude and relation of these wage effects. This is primarily due to the lack of microdata which links individuals to the establishments where they work, but also due to technical difficulties associated with separating out employee and employer effects. This paper uses data from the Occupational Employment Statistics program at the Bureau of Labor Statistics that permit both of these issues to be addressed. Our results show that employer effects contribute substantially to earnings differences across individuals. We also find that establishments that pay well for one occupation also pay well for others. This paper contributes to the growing literature that analyzes firms' compensation policies, and specifically the topic of employer effects on wages.

N2  - Using nationally representative data from the NLSY97, financial motivations for and the effects of employment on U.S. college students' academic performance are examined. While it is expected that fewer financial resources and a higher cost of college cause greater student employment, the data indicate that the number of hours a student works per week is unaffected by either the level of parental transfers or the cost of schooling. Contrary to existing evidence that a greater number of hours worked leads to poorer academic performance, the number of hours worked per week does not negatively affect a student's GPA and may actually improve it.

N2  - The Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) is a new data source of the Bureau of Labor Statistics that estimates monthly vacancies, hires, and separations. It has quickly become a useful tool for studying the labor market. This chapter summarizes its aggregate and micro-level evidence, including the relations of vacancies and worker flows to unemployment and other measures of labor market conditions. The chapter also discusses the implications of this evidence and the potential of the data for future research.

N2  - This paper synthesizes the literatures on labor dynamics and urban growth and agglomeration by presenting new evidence on the micro-level establishment dynamics of metropolitan areas. I explore how the patterns of job reallocation and entry and exit affect the growth and composition of these areas. I find that high-growth metropolitan areas have high rates of job and establishment turnover, primarily though higher rates of gross job creation and establishment entry, and have a relatively young distribution of establishments. Variations in the age distribution and differences in the entry and exit patterns of young establishments account for a sizeable portion of regional differences in labor dynamics and growth, even after controlling for regional differences in industry composition. These results suggest that variations in the age distribution and the dynamics that lead to such variations are important factors in understanding urban growth and agglomeration.

N2  - Labor economists have long used occupation indicators as a proxy for unobserved skills that a worker possesses. In this paper, we consider whether inter-occupational wage differentials that are unexplained by measured human capital are indeed due to differences in often-unmeasured skill. Using the National Compensation Survey, a large, nationally-representative dataset on jobs and ten different components of requisite skill, we compare the effects on residual wage variation of including occupation indicators and including additional skills measures. We find that although skills do vary across 3-digit occupations, occupation indicators decrease wage residuals by far more than can be explained by skill differentials. This indicates that "controlling for occupation" does not equate to controlling for skill alone, but also for some other factors to a great extent. Additionally, we find that there is considerable within occupation variation in skills, and that the amount of variation is not constant across skill levels. As a result, including occupation indicators in a wage model introduces heteroskedasticity that must be accounted for. We suggest that greater caution be applied when using and interpreting occupation indicators as controls in wage regressions.

N2  - In this paper we study job design. Will an organization plan precisely how the job is to be done ex ante, or ask workers to determine the process as they go? We first model this decision and predict complementarity between these job attributes: multitasking, discretion, skills, and interdependence of tasks. We argue that characteristics of the firm and industry (e.g., product and technology, organizational change) can explain observed patterns and trends in job design. We then use novel data on these job attributes to examine these issues. As predicted, job designs tend to be 'coherent' across these characteristics within the same job. Job designs also tend to follow similar patterns across jobs in the same firm, and especially in the same establishment: when one job is optimized ex ante, others are more likely to be also. There is some evidence that firms may segregate different types of job designs across different establishments.

N2  - Iron and steel production grew dramatically in the U.S. when mass production technologies for steel were adopted in the 1860s. According to new measures presented in this study, earnings inequality rose within the iron and steel industries about 1870, perhaps because technological uncertainty led to gambles and turbulence. Firms made a variety of technological choices and began formal research and development. Professional associations and journals for mechanical engineers and chemists appeared. A national market replaced local markets for iron and steel. An industrial union replaced craft unions. As new ore sources and cheap water transportation were introduced, new plants along the Great Lakes outcompeted existing plants elsewhere. Because new iron and steel plants in the 1870s were larger than any U.S. plants had ever been, cost accounting appeared in the industry and grew in importance. Uncertainty explains the rise in inequality better than a skill bias account, according to which differences among individuals generate greater differences in wages. Analogous issues of inequality come up with respect to recent information technology.

N2  - Most skills acquired through on-the-job training may be specific to an occupation and therefore transferable to some but not all firms. This paper explores the relationship between the size of the local market for an occupation-specific skill and job-training outcomes. The Stevens (1994) model of training predicts that as market size increases, job turnover increases and training becomes more general. I test these predictions using data on blue-collar workers and variation in market size across U.S. metropolitan areas. The empirical results support the theoretical predictions and the impacts are most relevant at low levels of market size.

N2  - Responses to minimum income and minimum spending questions are used to produce economic well-being thresholds. Thresholds are estimated using a regression framework. Regression coefficients are based on U.S. Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) data and then applied to U.S. Consumer Expenditure Survey (CE) data. Three different resource measures are compared to the estimated thresholds. The first resource measure is total before-tax money income, and the other two are expenditure based. The first of these two refers to expenditure outlays and the second to outlays adjusted for the value of the service flow of owner-occupied housing (rental equivalence). The income comparison is based on SIPP data while the outlays comparisons are based on CE data. Results using official poverty thresholds are shown for comparison. This is among the earliest work in the U.S. in which expenditure outlays have been used for economic well-being determinations in combination with personal assessments, and the first time rental equivalence has been used in such an exercise. Comparisons of expenditures for various bundles of commodities are compared to the CE derived thresholds to provide insight concerning what might be considered minimum or basic. Results reveal that CE and SIPP MIQ thresholds are higher than MSQ thresholds, and resulting poverty rates are also higher with the MIQ. CE-based MSQ thresholds are not statistically different from average expenditure outlays for food, apparel, and shelter and utilities for primary residences. When reported rental equivalences for primary residences that are owner occupied are substituted for out-of-pocket shelter expenditures, single elderly are less likely to be as badly off as they would be with a strict outlays approach in defining resources.

The LIS data are augmented with comparable data from the U.S. Consumer Expenditure Survey. The surveys with expenditure data are reviewed in terms of collection units and variable definitions. Inequality statistics are produced and compared using income, expenditures, and market value of owned home. Rankings of countries by income and expenditure inequality are similar but not the same across the countries studied. Suggestions are made for the LIS to improve the expenditure data available following the COICOPS framework.

N2  - Subjective minimum income (MIQ) and minimum spending (MSQ) are the study focus. Basic Needs Module (1995) data from the U.S. Survey of Income and Program Participation are analyzed. A regression intersection approach is used to estimate household thresholds. MIQ thresholds are higher than MSQ thresholds. Both are higher than U.S. official poverty thresholds, and thresholds based on a National Academy of Sciences (NAS) methodology. Subjective threshold based equivalence scales imply greater economies of scale than those in the other two measures but are similar to behavioral scales. This finding suggests that families make trade-offs to meet their minimum needs.

It then reviews research results on the effects of reemployment services on durations of insured unemployment. The paper documents how state administrative practices have changed and questions whether these changes may have affected monitoring of claimant compliance with work search requirements. Since state policies on job search and service referral can affect insured durations of unemployment, these policies can also affect the measured total unemployment rate.

N2  - Is it always wise to disclose good news? We find that the worst sender with good news has the most incentive to disclose it, so reporting good news can paradoxically make the sender look bad. If the good news is attainable by sufficiently mediocre types, or if the sender is already expected to be of a relatively high type, withholding good news is an equilibrium. Since the sender has a legitimate fear of looking too anxious to reveal good news, having a third party disclose the news, or mandating that the sender disclose the news, can help the sender. The predictions are tested by examining when economics faculty at different institutions use titles such as "Dr" and "Professor" in voicemail greetings and course syllabi.

AB  - This article documents the transition from school to work for a nationally representative sample of men and women from the time they first left school for a year or more until age 35. To adequately measure the path an individual takes from the completion of schooling to stable employment, one needs longitudinal data that track respondents over their working lives. In this article, the education and employment histories are examined using National Longitudinal Survey Youth, 1979 (NLSY79) data. Twelve percent of the sample first left school at approximately age 17 before attaining a high school degree and are assigned to the category of dropouts. Meanwhile, a large number of individuals return to school at some point before they be come age 35; however, not everyone who returned to school eventually received a degree. Fifty-three percent of high school dropouts returned to school, as did 42 percent of high school graduates. On the other hand, the longitudinal nature and event history data collection of the NLSY79 make the data set ideal for studying job duration. A job-shopping model would suggest that the quality of job matches would increase with each subsequent job. In addition, the median number of years from first leaving the school until a worker holds a job for either 1, 3, or 5 years.

AB  - This article both provides a brief summary of the human-capital model as it relates to on-the-job training and summarizes the empirical training literature, with a special focus on the contributions that analyses of the data from the 1979 cohort of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY79) have made to that literature. Models of competitive labor markets imply that wages paid to workers reflect their productivity. Similarly, if on-the-job training makes workers more productive, then trained workers should receive higher wages than workers with no training. Any investment in human capital involves current costs and future benefits. The costs associated with on-the-job training involve both direct costs, such as the salaries of the persons doing the training and any costs of materials, and indirect costs, such as the cost of taking trainees away from their current productive tasks. A study found out that the mean completed training spell lasts 5.7 weeks and 20.1 hours per week. Half of all completed training spells less than or equal to 1 week in duration, but 5 percent greater than 24 weeks. Total hours of training follow a similar pattern: half of all completed training spells are less than or equal to 35 total hours, but 5 percent are greater than 520 total hours.

AB  - Abstract: In this paper we consider variance estimation for population totals and ratios in complex, cross-stratified surveys in which the ultimate sampling weights are random variables, dependent on the first phase of sampling. A new hybrid variance estimator, dependent on both model-based and design-based ideas, is introduced. Theoretical and empirical justifications are given which demonstrate that the proposed method handles well the difficult aspects of this sample design. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

N2  - We investigate the effect of employer-provided health insurance on job mobility rates and economic welfare using a search, matching, and bargaining framework. In our model, health insurance coverage decisions are made in a cooperative manner that recognizes the productivity effects of health insurance as well as its nonpecuniary value to the employee. The resulting equilibrium is one in which not all employment matches are covered by health insurance, wages at jobs providing health insurance are larger (in a stochastic sense) than those at jobs without health insurance, and workers at jobs with health insurance are less likely to leave those jobs, even after conditioning on the wage rate. We estimate the model using the 1996 panel of the Survey of Income and Program Participation, and find that the employer-provided health insurance system does not lead to any serious inefficiencies in mobility decisions.

AB  - The purposes of this study were a) to summarize measurements of airborne (respirable) crystalline silica dust exposure levels among U.S. workers, b) to provide an update of the 1990 Stewart and Rice report on airborne silica exposure levels in high-risk industries and occupations with data for the time period 1988-2003, c) to estimate the number of workers potentially exposed to silica in industries that the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) inspected for high exposure levels, and d) to conduct time trend analyses on airborne silica dust exposure levels for time-weighted average (TWA) measurements. Compliance inspection data that were taken from the OSHA Integrated Management Information System (IMIS) for 1988-2003 (n = 7,209) were used to measure the airborne crystalline silica dust exposure levels among U.S. workers. A second-order autoregressive model was applied to assess the change in the mean silica exposure measurements over time. The overall geometric mean of silica exposure levels for 8-hr personal TWA samples collected during programmed inspections was 0.077 mg/m³, well above the applicable American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists threshold limit value of 0.05 mg/m³. Surgical appliances supplies industry [Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) 3842] had the lowest geometric mean silica exposure level of 0.017 mg/m³, compared with the highest level, 0.166 mg/m³, for the metal valves and pipe fitting industry (SIC 3494), for an 8-hr TWA measurement. Although a downward trend in the airborne silica exposure levels was observed during 1988-2003, the results showed that 3.6% of the sampled workers were exposed above the OSHA calculated permissible exposure limit.

AB  - We investigate the functional form for formal training in a wage equation and derive estimates of its rate of return. The cube root fits best in our two data sets. We show that if wages are not adjusted continuously, estimating the return to training requires one lag and one lead of training. Using the cube root and a semi-nonparametric estimator, estimated returns are 150-180 percent. Adjusting for heterogeneity in wage growth, promotions, and direct costs reduces the return to 40-50 percent. We find evidence of heterogeneity in returns. Our estimates can thus be regarded as the return to training for the trained, but cannot be extrapolated to the untrained. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This paper uses matched employer–employee data from Denmark to examine how gender segregation at the level of occupation, industry, establishment, and job-cell impacts the gender wage differential of full-time, private-sector salaried and manual workers. Wage effects of gender segregation at the above four levels are estimated through fixed effects or through controls for the proportion females within these structures. We find that occupation has a much larger role than industry or establishment in accounting for the gender gap for salaried but not manual workers, and that for both groups there is a significant within-job-cell gender wage differential.

AB  - This article presents household survey indicators in the U.S. for 2004, based on the Current Population Survey. The unemployment rate and the number of unemployed persons fell in 2004. Most of the major demographic groups shared in the decline. The labor force participation rate held about steady, and the employment-to-population ratio edged up. Fewer unemployed persons were permanent job losers, and the number of long-tern unemployed declined over the year. Fewer persons worked part-time for economic reasons in 2004. These persons are often thought of as underemployed. The number of persons holding more than one job grew over the year. The year 2004 also saw an increase in the number of persons who were out of the labor force, but who indicated that they wanted a job. However, among this group, there was little change in the number who were marginally attached to the labor force or who were in a subset of this group known as discouraged workers. The alternative measures of labor underutilization showed improvement in 2004.

AB  - This article analyzes the payroll employment statistics and the job openings and turnover data gathered from business establishments in the U.S. for 2004. Nonfarm payroll employment, as measured the Current Employment Statistics survey, increased by 2.1 million jobs in 2004, the first gain during a calendar year since 2000. Payroll employment remained 97,000 below its previous peak reached in February 2001. Although the job openings rate, as measured by the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey, did trend upward during 2004, it also remained below its pre-recession level. Employers reported a small increase in hiring during the fourth quarter, and separations held steady throughout the year. The picture for employment growth by industry was somewhat mixed. Many industries turned the corner and showed growth, while a few industries continued to cut jobs. With general economic conditions improving, employment recuperated in some of the more cyclical industries such as machinery, trade, transportation, professional and business services, and leisure and hospitality. There was increased employment in construction and several housing related industries within financial activities, manufacturing, and retail trade. However, employment went down in some industries such as telecommunications, textile mills, and apparel.

AB  - This article discusses and analyzes a new U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistic measure of multifactor productivity for the air transportation industry, coded 481 in the North American Industry Classification System, covering the period 1972 to 2001. It describes the patterns of multifactor productivity and labor productivity change in air transportation since 1972 and the sources of labor productivity change--namely, changes in multifactor productivity, capital intensity, and intermediate purchases intensity. It looks behind the aggregate data to describe output and the use of the productive factors--labor, capital, and intermediates--in this industry and how they have changed over time. The current situation in the industry is briefly discussed.

AB  - This article presents calculations of the pay in metropolitan areas relative to that in the U.S., as a whole, which take account of both inter-area differences in the composition of jobs and the fact that surveys occur at different times of the year. Pay relatives are presented for all jobs that are covered by the survey and by nine major occupation groups. The calculations show that pay is highest in San Francisco, California whose index of 118 indicates that pay is 18 percent higher than it is for the Nation as a whole, and lowest in Brownsville, Texas, which has an index of 84, 16 percent lower than that for the nation. In addition, the calculations show that, generally, an area that is high paying for one major occupation group is high paying for others. However, there are exceptions to this statement. Overall, the results suggest that it can be misleading to measure inter-area pay differentials with mean hourly wage levels by area that do not control for the fact that the characteristics of jobs differ from one area to the next.

AB  - This article investigates the factors which contributed to the increase in economic inequality among groups in the general population of the U.S. between 1981 and 2001. Children are more likely to live in households with adults who are younger than the general adult population and are not yet in their highest income years. If relative consumption inequality is deteriorating for families with children, but the mobility of children among consumption quintiles is high, then children may be relatively consumption-poor for only a short period. The distribution of home ownership is also contributing to the relative consumption positions of the old and the young. Income and consumption are clearly different prisms with which to view well-being.

The surgeon general describes mental disorders as health conditions that are characterized by alterations in thinking, mood, or behavior associated with distress or impaired functioning. The Mental Health Parity Act of 1996 reduces differences in the way medical care plans treat mental health benefits and medical and surgical benefits in terms of lifetime and annual dollar benefit limits. It does not, however, mandate employers to offer mental health coverage and is limited to employers who offer health insurance that includes mental health coverage.

AB  - This article examines the response of food consumption to filing for personal bankruptcy in the spirit of previous work on the benefits of other social-insurance programs. Using the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID), we find that an increase in the financial benefit to filing for bankruptcy increases the growth in food consumption. In addition, we find that filing under chapter 7 of the bankruptcy code provides consumption insurance, while filing under chapter 13 of the bankruptcy code provides no significant consumption benefits.

AB  - Abstract: The relation among the federal funds rate and the Federal Reserve''s expectations about future values of certain policy relevant variables is considered. The coefficients of this relation are biased (i) when relevant explanatory variables are omitted, (ii) when the included explanatory variables are measured with error, (iii) when the functional form of the relation is misspecified. These biases present obstacles to verifying the conditions for monetary policies to be effective. It is explained how auxiliary variables, called concomitants, can be used to remove some of these biases without assuming that the “true” functional form of the relation is known. An analysis of the US quarterly data on the variables in a reaction function for 1960Q1–2000Q4 is given using our methods with a description of a numerical algorithm for enacting our methods.

AB  - This article examines the causal effect of computer use on wages using a 2005 matched workplace-employee panel data from Canada. Using instrumental variables, it was found out that it is not merely the employee having a computer on his desk, but rather having complementary computer skills, that causes wages to increase. These results suggest that the wage differential observed between computer-users and other workers is largely due to increased demand for workers with both observable computer skills and other, unobservable skills. The instrumental-variables estimation is preferable to either fixed effects, which estimates the wage changes from transitions into and out of computer use, or the cross section, which fails to control for selection.

AB  - This article analyses the real compensation from 1979 to 2003 derived from several data sources in the U.S. in 2005.  Increases in employee compensation substantially outpaced increases in consumer prices during the late 1990s. The National Compensation Survey (NCS) is a very comprehensive source of information on compensation. One set of statistical series produced from the NCS is the Employment Cost Index, which provides measures of change in employers' costs for wages and salaries and benefits. Several Data Sources Available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics provide information on trends in real compensation. All are useful for macroeconomic analysis, and, because the series do not always move by the same amount or in the same direction, it is wise to examine each one to understand general trends in real compensation.

AB  - This article reports on an estimation procedure introduced into the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) to ensure monthly additivity of State and national estimates of economic events in the U.S. The purpose of the approach was to reduce the high variability in monthly Current Population Survey estimates due to small sample sizes. The new bivariate models incorporate a major change in the BLS approach to benchmarking, rather than continue with a retrospectively applied annual average State benchmark that reintroduces sampling error to the historical monthly estimates, the proposed approach uses a reliable real-time monthly national benchmark for controlling current State model estimates of employment and unemployment.

AB  - This article reports on the effects of changes in component prices on the Producer Price Index (PPI) for finished goods in the U.S. in 2005.  Bureau of Labor Statistics' main aggregate PPI prior to 1978, the PPI for All Commodities, includes price changes from all stages of wholesale processing. The PPI for intermediate goods comprises prices for fully or partially processed commodities that will be used as inputs to produce other goods. The accumulated impulse response functions indicate that price changes within the stage-of-processing system are passed forward through the stages. The findings that changes in component prices result in significant movements in both the PPI for finished goods and the Consumer Price Index for commodities are of particular interest because previous analysis suggested that the causal relationships from the PPI for intermediate goods to the PPI for finished goods and the CPI deteriorated during the 1990s.

AB  - This article examines the business survival characteristics of all establishments that started in the United States in the late 1990s, when the boom of much of that decade was not yet showing signs of weakness. The largest contributor to opening employment for the cohort as a whole was the leisure and hospitality sector, the smallest the information sector. In addition to new homes going up, new businesses were moving in to take advantage of the growing wealth in the United States. Survival rates of establishments, as well as several measures of employment, are reported and compared across sectors. The sector's survival rates are above average, and its employment stayed above the initial level until the fourth year, when it fell back to the 1998 level.

AB  - The theory of tournaments predicts that a worker's effort depends on the difference between the winning and losing prizes, as well as the degree that increases in effort affect the probability of winning. This paper tests these predictions using a data set from Arabian horse racing. Jockeys increase their efforts (lower their times) in the second half of races when the amount of prize money lost by dropping a place is greater and when there is less distance between them and their closest competitors. These findings are consistent with the theory. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)

AB  - This article presents a case study, which reports on a fatal accident that resulted from exposure to ammonia in what should have been a normal maintenance operation. This inspection by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) was as a result of an accidental release of ammonia that resulted in one fatality and one seriously injured employee. The facility employs 1650 workers and manufactures sausage-related foods and processed meats. Despite being a large employer, there was only a single individual on site assigned to oversee worker health and safety at the establishment. This case report also emphasizes the need for safety and health professionals to look beyond the obvious hazards of a chemical and consider related hazards.

AB  - The article discusses the efforts being done by the U.S. in 2005 to incorporate labor into the Iraqi Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs (MOLSA). There are pitfalls with regard to the implementation of the MOLSA strategy for the reconstruction and rehabilitation of employment and training since 2004. Security issues and counter-measures continuously hinder the implementation of even the simplest tasks. The daily obstacles that hamper progress include transportation, communication, electricity, fuel, and funding.

AB  - This study uses questions on household repayment problems from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics to examine how the transition from marriage to divorce affects default rates by gender. The results show that divorced women are more likely to have repayment problems than divorced men and married-couple households. Further analysis reveals that divorced women who are receiving welfare are significantly less likely to default. Because average welfare benefits decreased in the early 1990's, the results suggest that this decrease provides a partial explanation for why the default rate increased between 1991 and 1995 for divorced women. The effect of welfare on the default rates of divorced men and married couples is insignificant. And there is no evidence that receiving child support and alimony payments significantly affects the probability of default. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

All OSHA programs are designed to reduce fatalities, injuries, and illnesses, but the approaches differ depending on the circumstances and nature of the underlying cause of the problem. Direct interventions achieve the outcomes by engaging in one-to-one relationships with employers and employees. At the same time, lasting solutions can be realized as employers, workers, and many others embrace a safety and health culture in the workplace.

N2  - We investigated the sensitivity of measures of cognitive ability and socioemotional development to changes in parents' marital status using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, 1979. We used several scores for each assessment, taken at different times relative to parents' marital transitions, which allowed us to trace the effects starting up to five years before a parent's change in marital status and continuing for up to six years afterward. It also allowed us to correct for the unobserved heterogeneity of the transition and nontransition samples by controlling for the child's fixed effect in estimating the time path of his or her response to the transition. We found that children from families with both biological parents scored significantly better on the BPI and the PIAT-math and PIAT-reading assessments than did children from nonintact families. However, much of the difference disappeared when we controlled for background variables. Furthermore, when we controlled for child fixed effects, we did not find significant longitudinal variation in these scores over long periods that encompass the marital transition. This finding suggests that most of the variation is due to cross-sectional differences and is not a result of marital transitions per se.

AB  - We construct a novel data set matching occupational data from separate establishments to the establishments' corporate parents, in order to study labor market links across establishments within diverse firms. We find substantial wage components common to all establishments within firms, even after netting out industry and occupation effects. However, employment changes are localized to establishments. The data suggest that internal labor markets of multiestablishment firms are linked throughout their entire organizations, but that establishment-level demand shocks do not permeate the firm.

AB  - This article explores the relevance of confederalism for cross-Strait integration and the reunification of China. It explains the distinctions between the related concepts of federation, confederation, federalism and confederalism, and analyzes the use of confederal principles in resolving conflicts and maintaining or promoting state integration. It further lists the arguments for and against confederations and the practice of confederalism in the context of cross-Strait relations. The article argues that although a confederation cannot be regarded as a mutually acceptable model for China's eventual reunification, the application of some of the ideas, principles and values embodied in confederalism may be useful for cross-Strait integration and to peaceful reunification.

AB  - The standard resource extraction framework assumes infinitely lived agents and yields an overfishing result. For some applications, a finite time horizon may be more appropriate. A direct extension of the Levhari-Mirman model to overlapping generations yields an extreme overfishing result. Alternatively, we assume young and old specialize, and respectively fish and supply capital. In this model, under some circumstances there may well be under-utilization of natural resources. However, for a given production technology, if there area sufficiently large number of agents, overfishing always results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The article describes a method of obtaining gross flow statistics that are compatible with the monthly stock numbers and discusses seasonal adjustment of gross-flow series. The U.S. Census Bureau generates unpublished gross flow estimates as part of its monthly production of Current Population Survey (CPS) data. The procedure used by the Census Bureau to generate the tabulations each month starts by matching respondents in the current month to respondents in the previous month. Next, the sampling weights of the matched respondents are adjusted so that weighted sample totals match known population totals. The adjusted weights are then used to compute weighted estimates of labor force transition flows. The analysis that follows focuses on classification error and margin error.

AB  - This article provides some background and conceptual information on the gross-flow series developed by researchers from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Office of Employment and Unemployment Statistics and demonstrates some uses of the gross-flow series. Each month, the Current Population Survey (CPS) is administered to about three-quarters of the same households as in the previous month. This month-to-month overlap allows for the calculation of flows in labor force status from one month to the next. However, while all eight rotation groups in the CPS are represented in the stock data, only six are represented in the flow data. Moreover, some of the flows involve movements into or out of the survey scope.

N2  - Workers who use computers earn more than those who do not. Is this a productivity effect or merely selection (that is, workers selected to use computers are more productive to begin with). After controlling for selection, the average worker enjoys a wage premium of almost 4% upon adopting a computer. This premium, however, obscures important differences by education and occupation. Long-run returns to computer use are over 5% for most workers. Differences between short-run and long-run returns suggest that workers may share training costs through sacrificed wages.

Research has also documented that working at a part-time job after school in adolescence is associated with negative outcomes such as lower school engagement, more drug and alcohol use, and lower life satisfaction (Steinberg, 2002). Researchers have suggested that adolescents who work might have less time for more developmentally beneficial activities (Steinberg & Cauffman, 1995). This paper explores adolescent time use, and particularly how adolescents choose to spend their free time, using data from the American Time Use Survey. The paper compares time use on weekends and weekdays, describes time use by gender and income, and examines differences in time use among adolescents based on their involvement in paid work on the diary day. Adolescents who worked on their diary day did give up time from some other activities, primarily rest and play activities, but they spent similar amounts of time doing homework and attending classes compared with adolescents who did not work on their diary day.

N2  - La participation a des activites parascolaires structurees, tels les arts, les clubs sociaux ou le benevolat, est associee a un meilleur rendement scolaire, un taux moins eleve de depression ainsi qu'a de nombreux autres effets positifs d'ordre social et emotionnel (Vernon & Jacobs, 2002; Eccles & Barber, 1999). Les recherches ont egalement fait ressortir le fait que le travail a temps partiel apres l'ecole chez les adolescents etait associe a des resultats negatifs, tels un niveau moins eleve d'implication a l'ecole, la consommation accrue de drogue ou d'alcool et une satisfaction de vivre moindre (Steinberg, 2002). Selon les chercheurs, les adolescents qui travaillent auraient moins de temps a consacrer a des activites propices a leur developpement (Steinberg & Cauffman, 1995). L' article porte sur l'emploi du temps des adolescents, plus precisement sur la facon dont les adolescents choisissent d'occuper leur temps libre, et repose sur des donnees tirees de l'American Time Use Survey (enquete americaine sur l'emploi du temps). Il nous offre une comparaison entre l'emploi du temps la fin de semaine et en semaine, decrit l'emploi du temps selon le sexe ou le revenu, et s'arrete aux differences dans l'emploi du temps des adolescents selon que leur horaire quotidien comprenne ou non un emploi remunere. Les adolescents qui ajoutaient un travail a leur horaire quotidien le faisaient effectivement au detriment d'autres activites, principalement au detriment du repos ou des loisirs, mais le temps qu'ils consacraient a leurs devoirs et a frequenter l'ecole etait a peu pres le meme que chez les adolescents qui ne travaillaient pas.

N2  - La participacion en actividades paraescolares estructuradas, tales que las artes, los clubes sociales o el voluntariado, esta asociada a un mejor rendimiento escolar, una tasa menos elevada de depresion asi que a muchos otros efectos positivos de orden social y emocional (Vernon & Jacobs, 2002; Eccles & Barber, 1999). Las investigaciones han hecho sobresalir igualmente el hecho que el trabajo a tiempo parcial despues de la escuela de los adolescentes era asociado a resultados negativos, tales que un nivel menos elevado de implicacion en la escuela, el mayor consumo de droga o de alcohol y una menor satisfaccion de vivir (Steinberg, 2002). Segun los investigadores, los adolescentes que trabajan tendrian menos tiempo a dedicar a las actividades propicias a su desarrollo (Steinberg & Cauffman, 1995). El articulo trata sobre el empleo del tiempo de los adolescentes, especificamente sobre la manera en que los adolescentes deciden de ocupar su tiempo libre, y se basa en los datos obtenidos de la American Time Use Survey (encuesta de Estados Unidos sobre el empleo del tiempo). Nos ofrece una comparacion entre el empleo del tiempo durante el fin de semana y en semana, describe el empleo del tiempo de acuerdo al sexo o al ingreso y se detiene en las diferencias en el empleo del tiempo de los adolescentes segun que su horario cotidiano comprenda o no un empleo remunerado. Los adolescentes que aumentan un trabajo a su horario cotidiano lo hacen efectivamente en detrimento de otras actividades, principalmente en detrimento del reposo o de las diversiones, pero el tiempo que ellos dedican a sus deberes y a frecuentar la escuela era mas o menos el mismo que en los adolescentes que no trabajan.

AB  - We carried out an experiment that compared telephone and Web versions of a questionnaire that assessed attitudes toward science and knowledge of basic scientific facts. Members of a random digit dial (RDD) sample were initially contacted by telephone and answered a few screening questions, including one that asked whether they had Internet access. Those with Internet access were randomly assigned to complete either a Web version of the questionnaire or a computer-assisted telephone interview. There were four main findings. First, although we offered cases assigned to the Web survey a larger incentive, fewer of them completed the online questionnaire; almost all those who were assigned to the telephone condition completed the interview. The two samples of Web users nonetheless had similar demographic characteristics. Second, the Web survey produced less item nonresponse than the telephone survey. The Web questionnaire prompted respondents when they left an item blank, whereas the telephone interviewers accepted 'no opinion' answers without probing them. Third, Web respondents gave less differentiated answers to batteries of attitude items than their telephone counterparts. The Web questionnaire presented these items in a grid that may have made their similarity more salient. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)

AB  - This article explores the options available to U.S. employees who receive preretirement distributions. For background, it includes information on employee tenure and mobility. Data on employment and retirement income trends from the Bureau of Labor Statistics form the basis for the analysis. It also discusses how employees who have changed employers have chosen to use their preretirement distributions and the effect the choices have on the adequacy of future retirement benefits.

AB  - Personal bankruptcy, unemployment insurance, and Aid to Families with Dependent Children provide income and wealth insurance. Because they have similar purposes, it should not be surprising that some households use more than one of these programs or that the programs are substitutes. This study contributes to the personal bankruptcy literature by examining this interaction and finds that increases in unemployment benefits decrease the probability of bankruptcy.

N2  - In contrast to earlier studies, recent research finds that charitable contributions are tax-price inelastic, suggesting that the itemized deduction for contributions loses more tax revenue than it increases in contributions. The estimates from parametric methods are similar to those in earlier studies that find that charity appears to be elastic with respect to the tax price. Because specification tests raise doubts about the consistency of these methods, the authors use a two-stage semi-parametric method and find that contributions are price inelastic. Contributions to social welfare organizations, however, are price elastic; their deductibility loses less in revenues than is contributed.

AB  - Two sources of asymmetric information in health markets are adverse selection where only individuals know their illness probability and their preventive effort to reduce illness probabilities. This effort is not observed by insurers, and thus individuals cannot be adequately compensated for their effort I investigate whether asymmetric information plays a role in health care markets through a semi-parametric model that allows both adverse selection and preventive effort I find that preventive effort plays a role in illness probabilities. If the United States implements universal health coverage, the currently uninsured population will exert less preventive effort, and their illness probabilities will increase. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The article presents information on the new data on occupational safety and health released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) based on the changes in classification systems covering industries, occupations, race/ethnicity, and geographic areas. Data on occupational injuries, illnesses, and fatalities for 2003 and beyond are based on these new systems. In addition, changes to definitions used by employers to record injuries and illnesses, and the identification of new or emerging injuries and illnesses, result in occupational safety and health data that are different from the past. These new data help to illuminate the safety and health picture of special populations, many of which are described more precisely under the new classification systems. Using these new definitions, BLS reported 4.4 million nonfatal injuries and illnesses in private industry workplaces in 2003, resulting in a rate of 5.0 cases per 100 equivalent full-time workers. Beyond the annual tabulations on injuries, illnesses, and fatalities, the BLS occupational safety and health statistics program has been involved in special studies of safety and health topics.

AB  - The article compares occupational fatalities and injuries among young workers in the U.S. during the two time periods, 1993-97 and 1998-2002. It also compares data for nonfatal injuries and illnesses among young workers with data for all workers. Young workers are defined as workers who are 17-years-old and younger. Fatality rates were calculated using the Current Population Survey hours-at-work data for years 1994 through 2004. Young workers face considerable occupational risks. Fatality counts dropped for many age groups between the two 5-year periods in 1993-2002, but increased 34 percent for workers aged 14 and 15 years. Fatalities for young workers aged 14 to 17 increased in the construction, services, and government industries and decreased in retail trade. The 14- and 15-year-olds killed in construction during the 1998-2002 period were performing construction-related jobs at the time, although regulations limit these workers to performing office and sales work even when employed by businesses run by their parents. Fatal injuries to 16- and 17-year-old workers declined by 13 percent over the two periods.

AB  - The article analyzes occupational injuries, illnesses, and fatalities among older workers in the U.S. It identifies differences in the severity of the events as a result of age. There are a lot of Americans who are staying in the workforce past age 55. They sustain more severe injuries than their younger counterparts and require more days away from work to recover. Older workers face many of the same workplace hazards as do other workers; the most prevalent events leading to job-related injuries or fatalities are falls, assaults, harmful exposures, or transportation incidents. But in many cases, the nature of the injury suffered by an older worker is more severe than that suffered by younger workers. The Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses provides the number of workplace injuries and illnesses and the rate of such incidents, based on full-time equivalent workers. In 2003, 1.57 million of the most serious occupational injury and illness cases involved workers 55 years of age and older. These workers accounted for about 12 percent of injury and illness cases. Of the 5,575 workplace fatalities in 2003, 523 were among workers aged 65 and older.

AB  - The article presents information on the occupational injuries, illnesses, and fatalities among women in the U.S. in 2003. Women experienced fewer fatal and non-fatal injuries and illnesses than men during the 1992-2003 period. Women had a lower share of injuries and illnesses than what their share of hours worked suggests. Although women represented almost half of the workforce in 2003, they experienced 8 percent of occupational fatalities and 35 percent of non-fatal injuries and illnesses. There were 5,575 fatal occupational injuries in 2003; 446 of which were incurred by women. Highway vehicle accidents, which accounted for 31 percent of the occupational fatalities sustained by women in 2003. Homicide accounted for 27 percent of the fatal occupational injuries sustained by women in 2003. Of the 696 fatal occupational injuries resulting from falls in 2003, just 38 were sustained by women. The disparity between men and women in the number of non-fatal occupational injuries and illnesses has been an ongoing trend throughout the past decade.

AB  - The article presents information on fatal occupational injuries to older workers in farming in the U.S. during 1995-2002. Agricultural workers aged 55 years and older are at a higher risk of fatal occupational injury than their younger counterparts. The most significant types of injuries to workers over the age of 55 in farming occupations involve machinery and livestock. Almost two-thirds of those aged 55 and older and reported to have died in a fatal injury while working were classified as farmers, that is, those who typically own and operate a farm. The annual average rate of fatal injuries for all workers in the country from 1995 to 2002 was calculated to be 4.5 per 100,000 employed. The three major agriculture industries in which workers in farming occupations toiled from 1995 to 2002 were crop production, livestock production, and agricultural services. There is a large majority of the workers who were assaulted by the animals. Fatal injuries also occurred in farm buildings. Most such injuries were the result of falls to lower levels and being struck by falling objects.

AB  - The article presents information on fatal occupational injuries among Asian workers in the U.S. during 1999-2003. During this period, 775 people of Asian descent suffered a fatal work injury. According to Census 2000, Asian-Americans accounted for 3.6 percent of the U.S. population; this percentage is likely to rise as more Asians continue to immigrate. The Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries recorded 775 fatal work injuries to Asian workers over the period. These fatal work injuries represent 3 percent of the total fatal workplace injuries occurring over those 5 years. All fatality rates are expressed as the number of fatalities per 100,000 employed persons. In 2000, foreign-born Asian workers accounted for 86 percent of all workplace fatalities incurred by Asians. From 2001 to 2003, this percentage remained close to that number, fluctuating between 83 percent and 87 percent. Over the 2000-03 period, foreign-born Asians accounted for 77 percent of Asian employment while accounting for 85 percent of the fatal work injuries. The highest number of fatal injuries to Asian workers was recorded in 2001.

AB  - The article presents information on fatal work injuries among foreign-born Hispanic workers in the United States. Hispanic workers tend to be disproportionately represented in higher-risk, lower-wage jobs. Lower educational attainment, fewer job skills, and in some cases, lack of proficiency in the English language may contribute to this trend. Disproportionate representation in higher-risk jobs has led to higher numbers and rates of fatal occupational injury among Hispanic workers. The number of fatal injuries to Hispanic workers rose from 533 in 1992, when the fatality census was first conducted, to a high of 895 in 2001. While the number of fatal work injuries among foreign-born workers in 2004 was 31 percent higher than the number in 1996, the number among foreign-born Hispanic workers was 56 percent higher. The fatal work injury rate for all U. S. workers in 2004 was 4.1 fatalities per 100,000 workers, as compared with a rate of 4.9 fatalities for Hispanic workers. Most of the fatal work injuries involving Hispanic workers from 1992 to 2004 occurred in states traditionally associated with large Hispanic populations.

AB  - Price sensitivity is how consumers react to price levels and to price changes. Consumer innovativeness is a tendency to welcome and to adopt new products. Researchers (e.g., R. E. Goldsmith & S. J. Newell, 1997) consider innovative consumers relatively more price insensitive than other consumers, so there should be a negative correlation between measures of these constructs. The results of the present study supported the psychometric soundness of a self-report measure of price sensitivity among 860 Korean consumers and replicated earlier findings of the negative correlation between the 2 constructs.

AB  - We propose simple parametric and nonparametric bootstrap methods for estimating the prediction mean square error (PMSE) of state vector predictors that use estimated model parameters. As is well known, substituting the model parameters by their estimates in the theoretical PMSE expression that assumes known parameter values results in underestimation of the true PMSE. The parametric method consists of generating parametrically a large number of bootstrap series from the model fitted to the original series, re-estimating the model parameters for each series using the same method as used for the original series and then estimating the separate components of the PMSE. The nonparametric method generates the series by bootstrapping the standardized innovations estimated for the original series. The bootstrap methods are compared with other methods considered in the literature in a simulation study that also examines the robustness of the various methods to non-normality of the model error terms. Application of the bootstrap method to a model fitted to employment ratios in the USA that contains 18 unknown parameters, estimated by a three-step procedure yields unbiased PMSE estimators.

AB  - This article presents information on the forecasts made for the U.S. economy. The economy is expected to expand at a steady pace over the coming decade, while inflation will remain restrained and productivity growth will remain strong. The gross domestic product is expected to reach $14.7 trillion by 2014, an increase of $3.9 trillion over the 2004-14 projections span. The unemployment rate is expected to slow down to 5.0 percent in 2014-0.5 percentage point lower than that in 2004. Between 2001 and 2003, the Federal Reserve Board cut the Federal funds rate 13 times, from a high of 6.5 percent to a 46-year low of 1 percent. The purpose of this almost unprecedented number of interest rate cuts was to fight the effects of the 2001 recession, the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the impacts of two wars, and the prolonged slow recovery of labor markets following the 2001 recession. Over the past decade, the U.S. average refiner's acquisition cost for imported crude oil averaged around $20.00 per barrel in current dollars. While exports of U.S. products to the rest of the world remains strong, they have been growing less rapidly than have U.S. imports for the past decade or so.

AB  - This article reports that the baby boomers' exit from the prime-aged workforce and their movement into older age groups will lower the overall labor force participation rate. This will lead to a slowdown in the growth of the labor force. The key focus of this article, therefore, will be on the trend of labor force participation rates and how this trend will affect the size of the labor force in 2014. The sizable increase in the growth rate of the women's labor force over the past three decades has greatly increased the share of women in the labor force and has contributed to the narrowing of the gender gap in labor force participation. The dynamics of labor force change from 2004 through 2014 emerge from three distinct groups, those who will be in the labor force in 2014, but who were not in it in 2004, leavers those who will exit the labor force after 2004 and before 2014, and stayers, those who were in the labor force in 2004 and who will remain through 2014. According to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projections, by 2014, 20.8 million men will have joined the 2004 men's labor force of nearly 79 million, and 13.6 million men will have left the labor force, resulting in a labor force of 86 million men in 2014.

AB  - This article presents information on the future of employment and industry in the U.S. Professional and business services and health care and social assistance sectors account for almost half of new jobs from 2004-14. The Bureau of Labor Statistics develops a set of industry employment and output projections every 2 years. The most recent set projects total employment in the United States to grow by 18.9 million over the 2004-14 period, from 145.6 million to 164.5 million. Even though the 1.2-percent rate of growth that this represents is the same pace that occurred over the past decade, approximately 2.6 million more jobs are expected to be created. Real industry output is projected to expand to $27.4 trillion by 2014, an increase of almost $7.7 trillion from 2004. The resulting average annual growth rate of 3.6 percent is somewhat faster than the 3.2 percent experienced during the last decade. The economy is expected to remain service dominated as the goods-producing sector's share of current-dollar total output continues to decline, from 30.8 percent in 1994 to 24.5 percent by 2014.

N2  - The U.S. economy is expected to expand at a moderately strong pace over the coming decade, with restrained inflation, continuing strong productivity growth, and a labor force growing at a steady rate with a favorable outlook for a wide array of job opportunities. The 2014 projections are the 19th in a series of biennial examinations of the aggregate economy; labor force by age, sex, race, and ethnicity; and industry and occupational employment. This article presents a synopsis of the conclusions of the four projections articles in the November Monthly Labor Review.

N2  - This article discusses a number of aspects of the BLS projections, including changes in the structure of employment at the major occupational group level, the detailed occupations that are projected to grow the fastest, the total job openings projected to occur due to growth in the economy, and employment and job openings by education attainment cluster. Employment in professional and related occupations and in service occupations is expected to increase the fastest of all occupations and add the most jobs from 2004 to 2014. Office and administrative support occupations are projected to grow about half as fast as all occupations, and production occupations should decline slightly.

AB  - Child labor is a global issue that exists in both industrialized and developing countries. With the unanimous adoption of International Labour Organization (ILO) Convention No. 182 in 1999 calling for the immediate elimination of the worst forms of child labor, ratifying member countries have committed themselves to identifying hazardous work for children in the context of their respective legislative frameworks. Part of tackling the problem of child labor is knowing what types of occupational activities children are engaged in, what types of work environments they are under, and what risks of injuries and illnesses they are exposed to while working. Using the Philippines as a country example, this study introduces a promising data source on children's work and presents a methodology for examining hazardous work to children through the examination of injury rates. Data for this study rely primarily on a nationally representative dataset from the Survey of Children 2001 carried out by the Philippine National Statistics Office, covering the months of October 2001 to September 2002.

N2  - We discuss the new American Time Use Survey (ATUS), an on-going household survey of roughly 1,200 Americans per month (1,800 per month in the first year, 2003) that collects time diaries as well as demographic interview information from respondents who had recently been in the Current Population Survey. The characteristics of the data are presented, as are caveats and concerns that one might have about them. A number of novel uses of the ATUS in economic research, including in the areas of macroeconomics, national income accounting, labor economics, and others, are proposed to illustrate the magnitude of this new survey's possible applications.

AB  - The article presents information about the views of Samuel T. Mok, Certified Governmental Financial Manager, a member of the Association of Government Accountants', Washington D.C. Chapter, on leadership in the public sector. According to him, leading an organization in the public sector poses some unique challenges because of the complex roles of the government. One of the secrets of successful leadership in the government is to know one's role. One must know the people for whom he is responsible and know the responsibilities for which he is held accountable.

N2  - Targeting reemployment bonus offers to unemployment insurance (UI) claimants identified as most likely to exhaust benefits is estimated to reduce benefit payments. We show that targeting bonus offers with profiling models similar to those in state Worker Profiling and Reemployment Services systems can improve cost effectiveness. Since estimated average benefit payments do not steadily decline as the eligibility screen is gradually tightened, we find that narrow targeting is not optimal. The best candidate is a low bonus amount with a long qualification period, targeted to the half of profiled claimants most likely to exhaust their UI benefit entitlement.

AB  - The article analyzes whether single establishment firms or companies with multiple worksites account for more of growth in employment in the U.S. The analysis is based on the longitudinal data that are underpinnings of the Business Employment Dynamics from March 1992-March 2004. The article classifies employers as single-versus multi-establishment firms, which are further broken down into continuous establishments and newly opened or closed establishments. During the March 1992 through March 2003 period, single establishment employers made up an average 43 percent of all employment while multi-establishment employers represented 57 percent of employment. Over the entire period, single establishment firms account for 75 percent of the job growth and multi-establishment firms account for 25 percent. During the expansion and contraction periods, both single continuous establishments and net of openings minus closings of single establishments showed consistent growth. Unlike single firms, during the expansion period, multi-establishment firms had approximately equal growth between the multi-continuous establishments and the net openings minus closings of establishments.

AB  - The article focuses on the employment trends in the U.S. securities industry. Employment in the securities industry has shown a strong correlation with stock market value. Market value affects employment in the securities industry indirectly by means of corporate profits. As stock value increases, securities firms' profits typically increase, which often results in additional hiring. The volume of stock market activity and securities broker employment presumably would seem highly correlated. That is, high trade and share volume would increase the workload for brokers and dealers and thus spur hiring. Turns in market value have consistently led turns in employment, and the rates of growth have also been relatively similar, as strong increases and decreases in stock value were followed by strong increases and decreases in employment. The same cannot be said about market volume. Despite high trading volumes, market value fell through the recession and beyond, and securities employment fell with it.

AB  - The article presents a report that examines occupational mobility data for the January 2003 to January 2004 period for selected demographic and employment characteristics and compares historical data with current data. The report is based on the January 2004 Current Population Survey in the U.S. A concept related to occupational mobility is job mobility. Job mobility occurs when an individual stops working for one employer and begins work for another. Occupational mobility can occur with or without job mobility. Occupational mobility rates for January 2004 show a consistent relationship between age and mobility for both men and women. As age increases, occupational mobility rates decline, regardless of gender. School enrollment can have a slight effect on the occupational mobility rate for those aged 16 to 24 years. About 58 percent of those who changed their occupation between January 2003 and January 2004 also changed their industry; this means that most changes in occupation are accompanied by a change in industry.

AB  - The article presents a report on the trends in the Locality of Origin (LOO) import price indexes, introduced by the International Price Program (IPP) of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The motivation for producing price indexes by geographic region of origin is twofold. First, the types of products being traded differ across localities; therefore, price indexes across localities should exhibit different trends that could not otherwise be observed from the world goods price indexes. Second, the U.S. dollar's fluctuation against foreign currencies has an impact on internationally traded products. The addition of newly-published LOO import price indexes to data offered by the IPP enhances the set of price indexes available to measure different aspects of inflation in merchandise markets. In 2004, price indexes for imports from Mexico, Great Britain, and the Asia Near East have trended with world petroleum prices, while the indexes for China, the Pacific Rim, France, Germany, and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations have been comparatively flat.

Multiple jobholding in 2004 increased in 24 states, decreased in 22 states and Washington D.C., and showed no change in 5 states compared with 2003. The national multiple jobholding rate was little changed in 2004 at 5.4 percent, after trending downward since 1996. The largest declines over this period were in Wisconsin, Oregon, Missouri, and Indiana. The states again showed considerable variation around the U.S. multiple jobholding rate in 2004. Overall, 27 states had higher rates than the national average, 21 states and Washington D.C. had lower rates, and 2 states matched the U.S. rate.

AB  - Objective: To explore the learning processes of undergraduate medical students undertaking international traineeships. Methods: Semi-structured, in-depth interviews were conducted with 24 undergraduate medical students from Maastricht University Medical School, the Netherlands. The 24 subjects were selected by purposeful sampling. Research methods resembled the grounded theory method. Although the data were initially gathered for an earlier study, the richness of the data enabled renewed scrutiny. Results: The data yielded the following categories concerning the description of the learning processes: motivation, preparation, internal supervisor, external supervisor, assessment, and positive and negative incidents. The majority of supervisors' influences on the learning process were facilitative or negligible. Socio-cultural differences between students and supervisors sometimes appeared to blur productive learning. The greater proportion of the students seemed to learn by 'experiential learning', a smaller proportion learned by 'active learning', and the learning of a very small minority of the students appeared to be 'guided'. Discussion: Although experiential learning seemed to be the dominant learning process, it is not clear whether this is also the most fruitful approach to learning. It could be argued that structuring learning outcomes by a more active learning process might be more effective. To guide the learning process and learning outcomes, it might be advisable to develop guidelines for writing international trainee-ship reports. Supervision of these reports should be more co-ordinated to prevent arbitrariness and to scaffold active learning. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)

N2  - Because of Bt corn's efficacy in controlling European corn borer, farmers are required to implement an insect resistance management (IRM) program that constrains each farmer to plant no more than 80% of the farm's corn to Bt varieties. This "refuge" must be planted within a half-mile of Bt corn and must be contained on the same farm. "Community refuge" schemes, those which allow the refuge area to be planted on a neighboring farm, have been proposed. In this analysis, we estimate the potential gains to all farms in the community in two representative locations: Pennsylvania and Iowa. The results of a decision analysis model show that the potential gains are very small; the greatest is only $652 over a 2000-acre community ($0.33 per acre). This gain would almost certainly be offset by the costs of developing such a community.

N2  - The analysis of how individuals obtain and are paid for their skills is fundamental to labor economics. The basic idea of human capital theory is that workers and firms invest in workers' skills in order to increase their productivity, much as persons invest in financial or physical assets to earn income. Workers develop many skills through formal education not tied to an employer, but an important part of their skills are learned on the job. This paper is a survey of the recent literature on on-the-job training, both theoretical and empirical.

AB  - This paper tests for the presence of screening discrimination, a type of statistical discrimination that occurs when employers are less able to evaluate the ability of workers from one group than from another. Using data from the 2000 release of the NLSY79, the author examines wage equations in a framework of employer learning to test the hypothesis that the market receives less reliable productivity signals at labor market entry from black men than from white men. The estimation results support this hypothesis. Variables that are difficult for employers to observe, such as the AFQT score, had less influence on the wages of black men (and easily observed variables had more influence) than on the wages of white men. The influence of hard-to-observe variables on wages, however, increased faster with experience for black men. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - We conducted a dual frame survey of landline and cell phone numbers in 2004 to evaluate the feasibility of including cell phone numbers in random digit dial telephone surveys in the United States. By sampling cell phone numbers, the coverage bias associated with households that have only cell phones is eliminated. However, we discovered two major sources of nonresponse bias in the dual frame sample. In an attempt to reduce these biases, we applied several different estimation schemes. But a comparison to the 2004 Current Population Survey Cell Phone Supplement showed that none of the estimation schemes substantially reduced the nonresponse bias of the estimates. We suggest other methods that might be used in future surveys that include cell phones and discuss the need for additional data collection and research on this issue.

N2  - The Bureau of Labor Statistics rounds the Consumer Price Index (CPI) to a single decimal place before releasing it, and the published CPI inflation series is calculated from those rounded index values. While rounding has only a relatively small effect on the level of the CPI series at present, it can have a significant effct on CPI inflation, the monthly percent changes in the CPI. This paper estimates the impact of rounding error on the published CPI inflation for both contemporaneous and historical data. Using an unrounded CPI series from January 1986 to July 2005 as a benchmark, I find that published CPI inflation differs from its full-precision counterpart approximately 25% of the time, and that reporting the CPI levels to three decimal places would reduce these discrepancies to under 0.5%. Further, the variance introduced by rounding error is large when compared to the sampling variation in CPI inflation. I find that the BLS could reduce total CPI inflation error variance by 42% by simply reporting more digits in the CPI index, resulting in a significantly more accurate reflection of monthly inflation. In order to extend these results to the CPI historical series, I derive the distribution of the rounding error component of inflation. From this analysis, it is possible to estimate the probability of large rounding errors for a given CPI level and rounding precision. Three regimes emerge. Before the 1970's inflation, discrepancies due to rounding were both frequent and frequently large relative to the underlying inflation rate. During the inflationary period of the mid-1970's to mid-1980's, both the probability and relative magnitude of discrepancies decrease dramatically. Finally, the last twenty years are characterized by a slowly falling probability of any rounding-induced error, but a roughly constant probability of an error of a given size.

N2  - The Consumer Expenditure (CE) Survey began imputing income in its 2004 data. Imputation predicts income for households that reported receiving income but failed to report a specific value. In this study, I examine how income imputation affects analysis of the CE expenditure data. Most importantly, research that uses both income and expenditures from 2004 on will not have to restrict the sample to households that reported income. The expenditure results most sensitive to the introduction of income imputation are statistics that focus on households with low levels of expenditures.

N2  - This paper tests the hypothesis that referrals from various sources provide employers with more information about job applicants than they would have without a referral. I use data from the 1982 EOPP Survey of employers that contain information on two workers in the same job, allowing me to cancel out differences in job and firm characteristics and control for the possibility that workers with referrals from different sources (or no referral at all) might sort into jobs that put different weights on individual performance. My estimation results provide evidence consistent with referrals from friends and family members providing employers with more information than they would have otherwise. Despite the information they provide, however, it appears as though referrals from family members are associated with jobs that put less weight on performance overall. On the other hand, referrals from other employers or labor unions appear to provide little, if any, information but are associated with jobs that put more weight on performance than the average job does. I find no evidence that referrals from schools, community organizations or other sources provide useful information.

N2  - Although income inequality has been studied extensively, relatively little attention has been paid to the role of household production. Economic theory predicts that households with less money income will produce more goods at home. Thus extended income, which includes the value of household production, should be more equally distributed than money income. We find this to be true, but not for the reason predicted by theory. Virtually all of the decline in measured inequality when moving from money income to extended income is due to the addition of a large constant--the average value of household production--to money income. This result is robust to alternative assumptions that one might make when estimating the value of household production.

N2  - This study uses a survey of Canadian workers with rich, matched data on job characteristics to examine whether "enriched" job design, with features like quality circles, feedback, suggestion programs, and task teams, affects job satisfaction. We identify two competing hypotheses on the relationship between enriched jobs and job satisfaction. The "motivation hypothesis," implies that enrichment will generally increase satisfaction and the "intensification hypothesis," implies that enrichment may decrease satisfaction by increasing the intensity and scope of work. Our results show that several forms of enrichment, specifically suggestion programs, information sharing, task teams, quality circles and training, raise satisfaction. Therefore we argue that the data support the motivation hypothesis. Partitioning the data by education level or union membership further supports this conclusion, while a direct test of the intensification hypothesis does not support the competing hypothesis.

N2  - In accordance with Executive Order 13078, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in cooperation with the Employment Rate Measurement Methodology interagency workgroup, identified the goal of placing a small set of questions within the Current Population Survey (CPS) to measure disability. A set of potential questions was drawn from existing surveys, cognitively tested, and placed in the National Comorbidity Survey (NCS) for testing. Based on an analysis of the NCS data, a set of seven questions was identified. These seven questions were then cognitively tested to ensure that they would work within the CPS context. This question set was placed in the February 2006 CPS for field testing. The two primary goals of the test were to compare the CPS disability rate to that obtained from the NCS, and to evaluate the effect on CPS response rates in the following month. Analysis of the test data revealed a lower overall disability rate as measured in the CPS than in the NCS, with lower positive response rates for each question. The data did not indicate that there was an adverse effect on the response rates for households that had received the disability questions.

N2  - Using the Canadian Workplace and Employee Survey and controlling for individual and establishment fixed effects, we find that within a year of adopting a computer, the average worker earns a 3.6 percent higher wage than a similar worker who did not adopt a computer. Returns are even larger for managers and professionals, highly educated workers, and those with significant prior computer experience. Employees who use computer applications that require high cognitive skills earn the highest returns.

N2  - This paper analyzes the impact of changes in the competitive market structure on an industry's total factor productivity (TFP) growth. The impact of horizontal mergers on TFP growth is of particular interest. The number of proposed horizontal mergers among U.S. firms totaled 28,818 from 1996 to 2005, while the number of U.S. Department of Justice investigations of proposed mergers totaled 1,303 during the same time period. The impact of mergers upon total factor productivity growth is rightly a topic for consideration. Merger participants routinely claim that mergers will result in welfare improving efficiency gains. If true, these gains should translate into increased TFP growth. This paper estimates this effect and others after presenting a model of TFP growth as a function of changes in the competitive market structure of an industry, changes in production diversification measured at the establishment level, and changes in output per establishment and the number of establishments. Mergers are found to have a positive impact upon TFP growth, accounting for 0.36 percentage points of total factor productivity growth between census years.

N2  - Using nationally representative data from the NLSY97 and a simultaneous equations model, this paper analyzes the financial motivations for and the effects of employment on U.S. college students' academic performance. The data confirm the predictions of the theoretical model that lower parental transfers and greater costs of attending college increase the number of hours students work while in school, although students are not very responsive to these financial motivations. They also show that increased hours of work lead to lower grade point averages (GPAs), at least for students attending four-year colleges.

N2  - This paper analyzes the relationship between wages and productivity during the early years of an employment relationship. Data from the Employment Opportunity Pilot Project show that worker productivity grows substantially during the first two years on the job, with most of the growth in productivity occurring at the very start of the job. Correcting for measurement error and the fact that expected productivity beyond the start of the job may be folded into the starting wage if wage revisions are not instantaneous, one finds that variation in productivity is only partially reflected in wages. Not only is productivity growth stemming from human capital accumulation while on the job only partially reflected in wage growth, but starting productivity differences for workers in the same job - in large part driven by differences in relevant experience - are only partially reflected in starting wage differences. Our empirical findings can be explained by a simple model of employer - worker cost sharing in which (a) the cost to a worker of locating and moving to a new job increases with the worker's stock of human capital and (b) equity norms prevent employers from paying senior workers lower wages than junior workers who are no more productive.

N2  - Aggregate data reveal a sizable increase in labor force participation rates since 2000 among workers on the cusp of retirement, reverting back to levels for older men not seen since the 1970s. These aggregate numbers are useful in that they document overall trends, but they lack the ability to identify the reasons behind workers' decisions. The Health and Retirement Study (HRS) spans the last dozen years from 1992 to 2004, includes two cohorts of retirees, and provides micro-level data regarding these recent trends. Moreover, the HRS contains information on older Americans and the types of jobs they are taking (full-time versus part-time, self-employed versus wage-and-salary, low-paying versus high-paying, blue collar versus white collar, etc.). This study capitalizes on the richness of the HRS data and explores labor force determinants and outcomes of older Americans, with an emphasis on retirees' choices in recent years. We present a cross-sectional and longitudinal description of the financial, health, and employment situation of older Americans. We then explore retirement determinants using a multinomial approach to model gradual retirement and a two-step approach to model the work-leisure and hours intensity decisions of older workers. Evidence suggests that the majority of older Americans retire gradually, in stages, and that younger retirees continue to respond to financial incentives just as their predecessors did. In addition, recent macro-level changes appear to have blurred the distinction between younger and middle-aged retirees.

N2  - This paper develops and tests a unique model of asymmetric employer learning. The model relaxes the informational assumptions used in most of the previous literature and assumes firms compete for workers through bidding wars. As a result, outside firms can profitably compete for an employed worker who is equally productive in any firm, despite the current employer's informational advantage. The model in this paper is the first in the literature to predict either wage growth without changes in publicly observed information (e.g., promotions) or mobility between firms without firm-or match-specific productivity. The bidding through which firms compete for a worker produces a sequence of wages that converges to the current employer's conditional expectation of the worker's productivity. This convergence of wages allows the model to be tested using an extension of previous work on employer learning. Wage regressions estimated on a sample of men from the NLSY produce evidence consistent with the model's predictions.

We use these data to document the dramatic rise of production and other manual occupations within the employment services sector and, in conjunction with information from the Contingent Worker Supplements, to estimate the number of employment services workers assigned to manufacturing over the period. Although measured employment in manufacturing declined by 4.1 percent from 1989 to 2000, counting employment services workers assigned to manufacturing, employment in that sector actually rose by an estimated 1.4 percent. Factoring in manufacturers' use of employment services workers does not erase the large declines in manufacturing employment since 2000, but a growing share of manufacturing work in the United States is being performed by employees of staffing agencies. In 2004, employment services workers added an estimated 8.7 percent to direct-hire manufacturing employment, compared to just 2.3 percent in 1989. In addition, we estimate that manufacturers' outsourcing to employment services significantly inflated manufacturing labor productivity measures, accounting for 0.5 percentage points of the annual growth rate from 1989 to 2000 and from 2001 to 2004. Although multifactor productivity measures should adjust for such outsourcing, available evidence suggests that KLEMS, the multifactor productivity measure for manufacturing, does not fully capture the relatively large effects that outsourcing to staffing services has on manufacturing productivity.

AB  - In this article the authors discuss the alternative statistical methodologies that BLS considered for creating size-class tabulations from the data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Their primary focus is to compare and contrast four alternative methodologies: quarterly base-sizing, annual base-sizing, mean-sizing, and dynamic-sizing, and to discuss the evaluation criteria that the BLS considered for choosing its official size-class methodology. The authors calculate the unemployment rate from the Current Population Survey. This study shows that employment is more evenly spread through the size class distribution.

The CPS and the CES survey are monthly sample surveys; the CPS is a household survey, while the CES survey is a survey of businesses as well as government establishments. The first portion of the article offers a general background on the two surveys and a summary of past research into earlier divergences in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. The second portion examines the latest BLS research into the divergences in the mid- to late 1990s through 2004.

The BLS is in the process of incorporating Internet-based data collection into a number of its establishment surveys. Internet collection is typically offered to employers as one of several options for reporting their data. The bureau benefits from Internet collection as well, with the potential to: control certain costs; improve response rates; decrease burden, or the perception of burden; and improve data quality.

Participation in defined contribution plans has eclipsed participation in defined benefit plans. In 1992-93, 32 percent of private-industry workers participated in a defined benefit plan, while 35 percent participated in a defined contribution plan. Using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics National Compensation Survey, this article describes some of the factors underlying these trends.

N2  - Warehouse clubs and supercenters have expanded into market segments long dominated by department stores and supermarkets, eroding employment and sales in these giants of retail trade. The increasing dominance of warehouse clubs and supercenters will force yet more structural changes upon the industry. This article reviews recent trends in employment, sales, and establishment data for warehouse clubs and supercenters, department stores, and food and beverage stores. The analysis presented looks at the increasing dominance of supercenters and its effect on employment in the more traditional retailers: food and department stores.

N2  - In the second article in the symposium John S. Greenlees, Associate Commissioner of Prices and Living Conditions at the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), provides a BLS response to the Boskin Commission from the perspective of ten years following the release of the report. Greenlees documents the research on price indexes done at the BLS in the first half of the 1990s that pointed to upward CPI bias, and discusses how these results attracted the attention of the US Senate, leading to the appointment of the Boskin Commission in 1995. Greenlees provides a detailed discussion of the methodological changes to the CPI made by the BLS between 1996 and 2002 in three areas corresponding to the categories of bias identified by the Commission: upper and lower level substitution bias, quality change and new products, and outlet bias. A key change in the first area was the introduction of a chained CPI (CCPI-U) that captured consumer substitution as much as possible. This was the first official superlative CPI produced by a statistical agency in the world. In the second area, the BLS has introduced more hedonic models to capture quality change, but the overall quantitative impact has been small. The BLS has also recognized the need to use a product and outlet sample that was as representative as possible of current consumer spending patterns. Viagra was quickly included in the CPI. Greenlees concludes that the Boskin Commission, by forcing the BLS to scrutinize the strengths and limitations of its CPI procedures and by highlighting and publicizing the budgetary impacts of the CPI, paved the way for various CPI improvements.

AB  - Abstract: We agree that either mistaking a stochastic trend for a deterministic trend (or vice-versa) is consequential for unit root tests and for tests of nonlinear serial dependence. In addition, we comment that similar results obtain for ordinary parameter inference in simple linear models. In particular, we note that detrending stochastically trended data with a deterministic polynomial or by applying the Hodrick–Prescott filter yields notably mis-sized hypothesis tests, even with a sample length of 200 observations. Interestingly, we further find that these size distortions persist even with stationary—albeit highly persistent—data. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Common features of internationalization in Dutch medical schools were: the numbers of outgoing students exceeded the numbers of incoming students, and most international programmes involved clinical training and research projects. We recommend that Dutch medical schools should pay more attention to ‘Internationalization at Home’ and focus on conditions that are conducive to participation by foreign students.

In 2005, unemployment continued to decline while employment rose, continuing the downward trend that began in 2003. Although Hurricane Katrina resulted in widespread economic damage and disruption, the effects of the hurricane were not discernible in the major labor market indicators from the household survey. Tables of the unemployed, multiple jobholders and persons not in the labor force are presented.

Professional, managerial and clerical workers grew from one-quarter to three-quarters of total employment between 1910 and 2000. There had been a shift in the workforce once composed mostly of manual workers. Occupational staffing patterns changed radically over the 1910-2000 period in response to changes in the mix of goods and services produced and the methods used to produce them.

N2  - This article presents data from the Modeling Income in the Near Term (MINT 3) system to address the question of what is in store for the baby-boom cohort once it reaches age 62. The primary objective is to examine disparities in projected pension eligibility and income among the various baby-boom subgenerations upon reaching 62 years. Over time, both eligibility for pensions and income from employer-sponsored pension plans will increase for baby boomers. Eligibility rates and benefit amounts are projected to be greater for late boomers overall and, within the late-boomer category, men, whites, and the more educated.

AB  - The number of personal bankruptcies has increased dramatically since 1990, and a growing number of filers are divorced. While previous research shows that divorce significantly increases the probability of bankruptcy, these studies assume divorce is exogenous. This study uses the Panel Study of Income Dynamics to investigate the relationship between divorce and bankruptcy. Single-equation probit results show that divorce significantly increases the probability of bankruptcy and bankruptcy significantly increases the probability of divorce. However, after controlling for endogeneity, the effect of divorce on bankruptcy and the effect of bankruptcy on divorce both fall by a significant amount and are statistically insignificant. The findings suggest that future research needs to more carefully model the role that financial distress plays within a marriage. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The article discusses the publication plans of the U.S. Employment Cost Index  (ECI) brought about by occupational classification systems. The ECI continues to cover civilian workers in private industry and State and local governments, excluding agriculture, but there is a change in the classification of establishments in the industry. The North American Industry Classification System structure is based on how products and services are produced, while Standard Industrial Classification focused on what is produced. Standard Occupational Classification covers all occupations in which work is performed for pay or profit and reflects the current occupational structure in the country.

The Office of Management and Budget mandate necessitated three changes to the ECI seasonal adjustment process. In direct seasonal adjustment, an index that has not been seasonally adjusted is divided by the seasonal factor for the series. The seasonal factors for directly adjusted series are estimated by applying seasonal adjustment techniques directly to historical data for the series.

The index is compiled from information provided by employers and updated quarterly. The benefit imputation procedure is used to estimate missing employer costs for health insurance, life insurance, long-term and short-term disability insurance, retirement plans, shift differentials, nonproduction bonuses, State unemployment insurance and workers' compensation insurance. Regardless of the format of the collected costs, the cost of each benefit is converted to a cost per hour worked.

The index with current weights differs from the existing ECI Laspeyres index, which would estimate current labor cost increases as the change between December 2004 and March 2005 in the cost of purchasing the set of labor inputs employed at the reference point of the 1990 Occupational Employment Statistics survey. The sample weights are used to calculate current- and previous-quarter average hourly compensation costs for broad industry and occupation groups within private industry and State and local governments.

AB  - The article explains international comparisons of labor market and competitiveness to provide an idea in time of the world economy. Among the developed economies, the U.S. had the largest labor market with relatively high labor force participation rates and relatively low unemployment rates. U.S. employment growth over the 1994 to 2004 period was about the same as for the EU-15 countries, but full-time job growth surpassed part-time job growth in the U.S., whereas part-time jobs were the major source of job growth in the EU-15.

N2  - The Employment Cost Index (ECI) is compiled from information provided by employers and updated quarterly. Employers do not always provide all the information needed to compile the ECI. Therefore, an estimate is imputed for the missing data using information obtained from other similar establishments and employees. The imputed value provides a best guess for the missing data. New ECI procedures have improved the methods for dealing with missing values. The change incorporates the switch in industry and occupational classification--two of the core data elements used to match donors and recipients.

N2  - Two key aspects of corruption are strategic complementarity (the greater the prevailing level of corruption, the more likely is a particular agent to engage in it) and localized interactions (officials typically interact repeatedly with a small group of other officials, their colleagues). This paper builds a simple model with these two features, which studies the evolution of corruption. Over time, local networks of corruption (or honest behavior) endogenously emerge, and otherwise identical regions can end up with divergent corruption levels. Anti-corruption policies are studied.

AB  - This article reports on the consumer price indexes in the U.S. in 2005. Larger price increases in 2005 for household fuels, telephone services, and airline fares were largely offset by smaller increases in the indexes for motor fuel, motor vehicle insurance, and new and used motor vehicles. Excluding food and energy prices, Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers increased 2.2 percent. The index for commodities increased 0.2 percent in 2005, after rising 0.6 percent during 2004. Commodities are generally subject to greater global competition than services, and have registered smaller price increases than services in every year since 1983.

AB  - This article focuses on price measurement in the U.S. Since the 1996 Boskin Report, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics has made some important changes to improve the Consumer Price Index (CPI), such as the implementation of the geometric means formula to calculate basic indexes and the creation of alternative indexes to serve various user needs. The report by the U.S. Advisory Commission to Study the Consumer Price Index, commonly known as the Boskin Report, issued on December 4, 1996, addressed the broad conceptual question of whether a cost-of-living index (COLI) should be the measurement objective of a price index and focused attention on three key problems inherent in the calculation of consumer price indexes: consumer substitution, quality change, and new goods.

AB  - This article presents a comparison of the U.S. Consumer Price Index and the European Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices. An experimental consumer price index for the U.S. was introduced that follows, to the extent possible, the methods of the HICP, the official price index of the European Union. To construct the experimental U.S. HICP, the CPI first was expanded to cover the entire non-institutional U.S. population and then was narrowed to remove the owner-occupied housing costs that the HICP excludes from its scope.

AB  - This article discusses findings of the Current Employment Statistics (CES) survey which was conducted by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. It is a monthly survey of more than 400,000 business establishments. The CES program provides estimates on employment, hours, and earnings by industry detail for the Nation, States, and metropolitan areas. The CES is widely considered as one of the most timely and accurate economic indicators published by the Federal Government. The payroll survey was collected as a quota-based sample. A bias adjustment model was used to account for the employment movement each month not captured by the sample, including employment growth because of the birth of new establishments.

This research was implemented as a result of a complaint forwarded by an employee of the alleged exposure to chemicals related to polyurethane manufacturing where components are mixed and oven-heated. Because there was no proper ventilation in the work area, the complainant alleged that employees were experiencing nausea, headaches and respiratory complications resulting from the inhalation of toxic chemicals.

The note shows that model misspecifications prevent the satisfaction of a necessary and sufficient condition for individual expectations to be rational in Muth's sense.

AB  - In this review, we examine the role of self-monitoring in social interaction. We first note that the presumed ease with which self-monitors adapt to new social contexts is more apparent than real, being the self-conscious outcome of (1) high self-monitors' preference for clearly defined situations, (2) their use of scripts regarding typical situations, (3) their ability to formulate effective plans of action before social encounters, and (4) their ability to use other people's behavior as a guide. We then examine the strong motive of high self-monitors to express and evoke high levels of positive affect in their interpersonal relationships. Two recent unstructured dyadic interaction studies lead us to argue that the primary concern of high self-monitors during social interaction is to regulate their own self-affect through effective impression management. In this sense, it really is the self that is closely monitored whenever self-monitoring processes influence social interaction. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)

AB  - The article proposes an approach to assessing workplace safety in the U.S. Measuring the number of injuries and fatalities that occur divided by the number of hours that people are at work offers a perspective on employee exposure to risk. Measuring those injuries that are more severe, either in terms of the number of workdays lost or in terms of the costs of the injuries could also provide a different perspective on workplace safety.

AB  - The article presents a study that varies the way an individual in the particle swarm interacts with its neighbors. The population topologies were created from random graphs, optimized to meet as nearly as possible some criteria. Three levels of mean degree were investigated, and the nodes had three, five or ten neighbors. Results show that a fully informed particle swarm is more susceptible to alterations in the topology, but with a good topology, it can outperform the canonical version.

Prices for finished goods as a whole rose at their fastest rate since 1990, with large price increases for energy goods accompanied by small advances for goods other than foods and energy. The producer price indexes for finished, intermediate, and crude goods all rose in 2005. The finished goods index, which tracks the change in prices for completed products ready to be sold for final use, advanced 5.4 percent after rising 4.2 percent in 2004.

This article particularly highlights employment changes in each industry sector during the 2001 recession and subsequent recovery period and compares the changes with previous recessions and recoveries. The article finds that while jobs are more plentiful, there has been a measurable amount of shift from industries with longer work-weeks to industries with shorter weeks. As a result, aggregate payrolls have not recovered from the 2001 recession as much as employment or hourly earnings have.

AB  - The article looks at the changes in telecommunications employment in the U.S. through an era of rapid technological change, a major boom-and-bust cycle and a shift toward wireless communication. The telecommunications industry employment rapidly grew in the late 1990s into early 2001. The fast-paced growth was fueled largely by changes in Federal regulation, the anticipated demand for telecommunications products associated with those changes and with rapidly developing technology. The industry as a whole regrouped and changed its focus to new and emerging technologies as consumer demand for telecommunications services shifted from traditional land-line based services to emerging wireless services.

It begins with an examination of employment, because shifts in employment can impact hours and earnings. Each private-sector industry's average weekly hours are reviewed to gain insight into the health of that sector and to explain movements in the average workweek for all private-sector workers. Next, the article examines aggregate hours--the product of average weekly hours and employment. Lastly, the article looks at the combined product of employment, hours, and earnings--what is known as aggregate payrolls.

N2  - Although male nonworkers have become a larger fraction of the population since the late 1960s, very little is known about who they are or who supports them. Using data from the March Current Population Survey and the 1979 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, this article fills that void. The picture that emerges is that there is a small cadre of marginal workers who often do not work for periods of a year or more. The vast majority of nonworking men (men who do not work at all during the year) receive unearned income from at least one source, and the amount of unearned income they receive varies significantly by their reason for not working. Family members provide an important alternative source of support for nonworking men who have little or no unearned income of their own.

AB  - Abstract: The 1994 federal School-to-Work Opportunities Act (STWOA) provided more than $1.5 billion over 5 years to support increased career preparation activities in the country''s public schools. A new longitudinal data source with rich information on school-to-career (STC) programs—the 1997 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY97)—provides previously unparalleled opportunities to study the effectiveness of STC programs. This paper uses the NLSY97 to assess the effects of STC programs on transitions to employment and higher education among youths leaving high school, with a focus on attempting to estimate the causal effects of this participation given possible non-random selection of youths into STC programs.

AB  - This inspection by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) was the result of a media referral. The media reported that three researchers had acquired tularemia as a result of their work activities in a research facility. The report also indicated that researchers working on a tularemia vaccine project in a Biosafety Level 2 (BSL2) research facility had possibly violated biological safety practices and that engineering controls were not used or maintained. As a result of published accounts of possible hazards to workers, an unannounced inspection of the research facility was conducted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This article investigates the labor-market effects of Hurricane Katrina using wage records from Louisiana and Texas. The records were enhanced with data from the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW). The analysis presented in this article showed that QCEW-enhanced wage records are a useful tool for studying the employment and earnings impact from a large displacement event such as Hurricane Katrina. The employment and earnings differences between normal mobility and the post-event mobility can be considered estimates of some of the labor market effects of Hurricane Katrina.

The article also presents some of the employment and wage trends measured by the programs both before and after Hurricane Katrina. Both programs operate as Federal-State cooperative programs in which the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) partners with workforce agencies in each state. Immediately following the hurricane, BLS assembled data from the CES survey and the QCEW as well as from other BLS programs into a pre-hurricane profile of the affected areas in Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi.

AB  - This article discusses the impact of Hurricane Katrina on the Current Population Survey (CPS) field staff, data collection operations, and estimation. The CPS is a monthly survey of about 60,000 occupied housing units that is used to produce timely statistics on the U.S. labor force, including the national unemployment rate, a major economic indicator. CPS data were also used in conjunction with data from other surveys of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics to develop employment and unemployment statistics for 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia.

AB  - This article describes the efforts made to identify and track layoff activity related to Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina created several data collection and analytical challenges for the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' (BLS) Mass Layoff Statistics (MLS) program. The sheer number of mass layoffs based on initial claims filings for unemployment insurance (UI) against establishments led to acute workload problems in affected states. Among the key economic data developed by BLS, the MLS program provided significant and detailed information on a subset of establishments and job losers experiencing dislocation.

AB  - Purpose: This article investigates how older Americans leave their career jobs and estimates the extent of intermediate labor force activity (bridge jobs) between full-time work on a career job and complete labor-force withdrawal. Design and Methods: Using data from the Health and Retirement Study, we explored the work histories and retirement patterns of a cohort of retirees aged 51 to 61 in 1992 during a 10-year period in both cross-sectional and longitudinal contexts. We examined determinants of retirement patterns in a multinomial logistic regression model. Results: We found that a majority of older Americans with career jobs retire gradually, in stages, rather than all at once. We also found that the utilization of bridge jobs was more common among younger respondents, respondents without defined-benefit pension plans, and respondents at both the lower and upper ends of the wage distribution. Implications: Older Americans are now working longer than pre-1980s trends would have predicted. Given concerns about the traditional sources of retirement income (Social Security, employer pensions, and prior savings), older Americans may have to rely more on earnings. This article suggests that many are already doing so by moving to bridge jobs after leaving their career employment. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)

AB  - The article presents a reprint from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Working Paper Series on retirement. It has been noted that many older Americans may delay complete retirement and exit the labor force gradually as there will be fundamental changes in Social Security, private pensions and longevity in the country. Baby Boomers, people who are born between 1946 and 1964 are the mainly affected individuals in these redefined retirement plans.

AB  - Tobin's q is widely accepted as a proxy for an underlying "true" q, which is assumed to characterize a firm's incentive to invest. Researchers have developed numerous methods for computing q. This article assesses the measurement quality of different proxies for q. We adapt the measurement-error consistent estimators in Erickson and Whited (2002) to estimate the extent to which variation in true unobservable q explains variation in different proxies for q. We find most proxies for q are poor: careful algorithms for calculating q do little to improve measurement quality. using elaborate algorithms, however, depletes the number of usable observations and possibly introduces sample selection bias.

AB  - The article estimates how many U.S. women aged 45 to 56 are part of the sandwich generation based on data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Young Women. Sandwich generation in the individual sense is described as those who are caught between the simultaneous demands of caring for their aging parents and supporting their dependent children. The demographic characteristics of the women and the type and amount of support they give to their children and parents are examined. It concludes that somewhere between 1% and 33% of 45- to 56-year-old women are simultaneously caring for their parents and their children.

AB  - The article documents the labor force characteristics of second-generation U.S. citizens compared with those from the third-and higher generation. Second-generation citizens are described as native-born persons who have either one parent or both parents who are foreign born. Labor force status, occupations and earnings of second- and third-and-higher generation workers are examined by a variety of demographic characteristics such as age, sex, race, educational attainment and family status. It has been concluded that in terms of labor market status, laborers from the second generation have achieved parity with their third-generation counterparts, and in some respects, they may have become more successful.

AB  - The article provides a detailed comparison of the differences between the Consumer Expenditure Survey (CE) and estimates of personal consumption expenditure (PCE) in the U.S. Previous research comparing CE and PCE are highlighted, while a discussion on the foundations of CE and PCE are presented. It reveals that the three major reasons for differences between CE and PCE estimates are the methodology of the two surveys, their scope in terms of both whose expenditures are being measured and how expenditures are defined, and the definitions they employ.

AB  - Abstract: The age structure of capital plays an important role in the measurement of productivity. It has been argued that the slowdown in the 1970s can be ascribed to the aging of the stock of capital. In this paper, we incorporate the age structure in productivity measurement. One proposition proves that Nelson''s [Nelson, R.R., 1964. Aggregate production functions and medium-range growth projections. American Economic Review 54 (September), 575–605] formula is only an approximation. Our final proposition shows that inclusion of the vintage effect prompts an upward correction of measured productivity growth in times of an aging stock of capital. Here capital ages if the investment/capital ratio falls short of the inverse of the capital age, as a first proposition shows. The analysis rests on a rigorous accounting for vintages. We translate the Bureau of Economic Analysis’ age of capital data into a measure of rates of obsolescence. Empirically, the correction of productivity growth for the vintage effect requires an estimate of the obsolescence and depreciation parameters on the basis of age data. The results indicate that the use of capital stock in efficiency units does cause some smoothing of total factor productivity growth over time. In the 1950s, when investment accelerated, the vintage-adjusted capital growth rate well exceeded the BEA growth rate, and vintage-adjusted TFP-growth is significantly lower than unadjusted TFP-growth. The measured productivity slowdown of the 1970s is somewhat ameliorated. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The article analyzes trends in construction employment in the U.S. from 2001 to 2005. Differences from trend in the 2001 recession reflect job loss and job recovery inconsistencies across construction component industries, with overall construction employment being pulled in two different directions. Largely mirroring trends in the larger economy, component industries catering to the needs of consumers--the residential market--experienced steady employment increases. Construction industries that focused on the needs of business and government--the non-residential market--experienced steady employment declines.

AB  - The article discusses the development of the new construction employment series for specialty trade contractors in the U.S. Monthly estimates of employment, produced by the Current Employment Statistics (CES) program of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, are an important component of construction industry data. CES estimates are organized according to the 2002 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). The NAICS coding system supports residential and nonresidential breakouts only for construction of buildings. No such detail is available for specialty trade contractors. To remedy this limitation, the CES program began producing and publishing employment series for residential specialty trade contractors and nonresidential specialty trade contractors in 2005.

AB  - The article analyzes historical trends in labor force participation in the U.S. After rising fairly steadily for more than five decades, the labor force participation rate peaked at 67.1% in the late 1990s. However, since 1999, the rate has receded--to 66.0% in 2004-05. The participation rate for persons aged 16 to 24 years-especially teenagers aged 16 to 19 years--dropped sharply. Among individuals aged 25 to 54 years, the rate for women decreased after rising steadily for more than a half century. The rate for men aged 25 to 54 years continued its long-term decline, reaching an all-time low in 2005. Since about 1995, however, a dramatic increase in labor force participation among individuals aged 55 years and older bucked these trends.

AB  - The article examines the structural changes in the economy of Manhattan, New York since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. In previous decades, job creation in Manhattan's "global sector" was the economic engine driving the borough's entire economy. Today, as a result of the 2001 downturn, high wages generated by global-sector industries emerge as a new determinant of Manhattan's economy. With approximately 1.8 million private-sector jobs, or about 61 percent of New York City's total job base, and an average annual wage exceeding $92,000 in 2005, Manhattan is the driving force of the city and the New York regional economy.

AB  - The article explains the effects of rounding the Consumer Price Index (CPI) in the U.S. Calculating percent changes in a price index rounded to three decimal places mitigates a problem that can arise when percent changes are based on the same index rounded to a single decimal place. Because the actual changes in the CPI have been quite small recently (the rate of inflation has been relatively low), the small differences incurred in rounding up or down can create a misleading picture of monthly price inflation.

AB  - Most skills acquired through on-the-job training may be specific to an occupation and therefore transferable to some but not all firms. This paper explores the relationship between the size of the local market for an occupation-specific skill and job-training outcomes. The Stevens (1994) model of training predicts that as market size increases, job turnover increases and training becomes more general. I test these predictions using data on blue-collar workers and variation in market size across US metropolitan areas. The empirical results support the theoretical predictions and the impacts are most relevant at low levels of market size. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Among the factors are the impact of the baby-boom generation, the stabilization of women's labor force participation rates and increasing racial and ethnic diversity in the workforce. The author claims that the differing birthrates of the U.S. population throughout the past eight or nine decades, and the resulting boom-and-bust waves of population change, would greatly influence the demographics of the present and future workforce.

The average hourly manufacturing compensation estimate for China in 2004 was $0.67, only about 3 percent of that in the U.S. Employees in the urban areas of China are compensated hourly with $1.19 while those in towns and villages are given $0.45. The gap between these two labor costs increased slightly from 2002. These figures are estimates of costs by employers in hiring an hour of labor, not estimates of worker income.

AB  - The article presents statistics on multiple jobholding in different states of the U.S. in 2004 and 2005. Multiple jobholders in the U.S. are those who report in the Current Population Survey reference week that they are wage or salary workers who hold two or more jobs, self-employed workers who also hold a wage or salary job or unpaid family workers who also hold a wage or salary job. Multiple jobholders decreased in 23 states from 2004 to 2005. Increases in multiple jobholders were reported in 21 states and the Washington, D.C. while no change was observed in 6 states.

AB  - This article shows how to benchmark small-area estimators, produced by fitting separate state--space models within the areas, to aggregates of the survey direct estimators within a group of areas. State--space models are used by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) for the production of all of the monthly employment and unemployment estimates in census divisions and the states. Computation of the benchmarked estimators and their variances is accomplished by incorporating the benchmark constraints within a joint model for the direct estimators in the different areas, which requires the development of a new filtering algorithm for state--space models with correlated measurement errors. The new filter coincides with the familiar Kalman filter when the measurement errors are uncorrelated. The properties and implications of the use of the benchmarked estimators are discussed and illustrated using BLS unemployment series. The problem of small-area estimation is how to produce reliable estimates of area (domain) characteristics and compute their variances when the sample sizes within the areas are too small to warrant the use of traditional direct survey estimates. This problem is commonly handled by borrowing strength from either neighboring areas and/or from previous surveys, using appropriate cross-sectional/time series models. To protect against possible model breakdowns and for consistency in publication, the area model--dependent estimates often must be benchmarked to an estimate for a group of the areas, which it is sufficiently accurate. The latter estimate is a weighted sum of the direct survey estimates in the various areas, so that the benchmarking process defines another way of borrowing strength across the areas.

AB  - This article compares shifts in employment from the first quarter of 1990 to the first quarter of 2005. From 1990 to 2005, federal jobs in the District of Columbia declined while private-sector jobs increased rapidly throughout the metropolitan area. Professional and business services jobs spearheaded this growth. Of the approximately 2.8 million workers in the Washington metropolitan area, 337,221 were employed by the Federal Government in the first quarter of 2005. Fairfax County's emergence as a private-sector job core in the Washington metropolitan area was secured by the addition of 103,925 workers in professional and business services over the 15-year period ending in 2005.

However, an examination of Current Population Survey employment data from 2000-2005 by earnings quartiles indicated that most of the employment growth in construction occurred in jobs that paid less than the median weekly wage for all wage and salary workers.

A principal role of a U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) commodity analyst in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) program is that of data reviewer. In that role, commodity analysts are responsible for monitoring the prices and characteristics of the goods and services tracked for the CPI market, verifying that the reported price movements of those goods and services meet the criteria for the collection of accurate consumer prices, and developing tools and procedures that aid in the collection and evaluation of the price and characteristic data used in producing the CPI.

AB  - This article analyzes the effects of crude-petroleum supply shocks on the market for organic chemicals and plastics products in the U.S. Crude petroleum is a significant input used in the production of organic chemicals, which are in turn used as inputs into the production of more-processed goods, such as plastics products. Prices for plastics products compose a substantial portion of several aggregate producer price indexes (PPI), and these indexes are often looked to as early indicators of consumer inflation. Price changes in crude petroleum, which are transmitted to prices for plastics products, would affect these aggregate PPI.

From January 2000 to July 2006, the average price for a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline in the U.S. increased 130.5 percent. Personal consumption expenditures on gasoline rose from $175.7 billion to $287.3 billion from 2000 to 2005. Rising prices and increasing expenditures are a concern for consumers, business leaders, and federal policymakers.

AB  - This article looks at the proportion of U.S. workers in selected pay ranges in 2005. State differences in the distribution of workers' earning hourly rates above or below the federal minimum wage of $5.15 are a function not only of the occupational distribution and prevailing wages in each state, but also of the widely ranging state minimum wage provisions. Several states that have not had minimum wage laws held referendums in 2006, allowing voters to determine whether their state should have provisions beyond the federal minimum wage.

AB  - The main purpose of this chapter is to analyze the impact of slave redemption programs in the context of an economic model in which it takes time to find slaves to redeem. The model discussed in the previous chapter by Dean Karlan and Alan Krueger (see record [rid]2007-13732-001[/rid]) overlooks this kind of market friction. While many of the insights of the model they present do not change in our model, some do, particularly those concerning what happens to the price at which slaves are exchanged. For example, in the Karlan and Krueger framework, a redemption program causes the price of slaves to rise at the same time that it reduces the number of slaves. A rise in the price of slaves necessarily indicates that the number of slaves has fallen. In the model we discuss, a fall in the number of slaves, ceteris paribus, can be accompanied by an increase, decrease, or no change in the price of slaves. Therefore, the behavior of the price of slaves is not a sufficient indicator of what has happened to the number of slaves, nor need it convey information about other factors that might affect the welfare of slaves. This chapter unfolds in four sections. First we briefly review the supply-and-demand model, highlighting the features that will be compared and contrasted with results of our subsequent analysis. Next we present our analysis of slave redemption in a 'matching' model that allows sellers and buyers of slaves to take time to find each other. Both the supply-and-demand and matching models suggest reason to be concerned that a redemption-induced reduction in the number of people remaining in slavery comes at the expense of causing more people to experience some slavery, at least temporarily, and so the costs of experiencing some slavery are important to a welfare evaluation of redemption programs. Our third section discusses this issue at some length. The final section offers concluding remarks. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)

AB  - Background: The District of Columbia (DC) Department of Health, under a grant from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, established an Environmental Public Health Tracking Program. As part of this program, the goals of this contextual pilot study are to quantify short-term associations between daily pediatric emergency department (ED) visits and admissions for asthma exacerbations with ozone and particulate concentrations, and broader associations with socioeconomic status and age group. Methods: Data included daily counts of de-identified asthma-related pediatric ED visits for DC residents and daily ozone and particulate concentrations during 2001-2004. Daily temperature, mold, and pollen measurements were also obtained. After a cubic spline was applied to control for long-term seasonal trends in the ED data, a Poisson regression analysis was applied to the time series of daily counts for selected age groups. Results: Associations between pediatric asthma ED visits and outdoor ozone concentrations were significant and strongest for the 5-12 year-old age group, for which a 0.01-ppm increase in ozone concentration indicated a mean 3.2% increase in daily ED visits and a mean 8.3% increase in daily ED admissions. However, the 1-4 yr old age group had the highest rate of asthma-related ED visits. For 1-17 yr olds, the rates of both asthma-related ED visits and admissions increased logarithmically with the percentage of children living below the poverty threshold, slowing when this percentage exceeded 30%. Conclusion: Significant associations were found between ozone concentrations and asthmarelated ED visits, especially for 5-12 year olds. The result that the most significant ozone associations were not seen in the age group (1-4 yrs) with the highest rate of asthma-related ED visits may be related to the clinical difficulty in accurately diagnosing asthma among this age group. We observed real increases in relative risk of asthma ED visits for children living in higher poverty zip codes versus other zip codes, as well as similar logarithmic relationships for visits and admissions, which implies ED over-utilization may not be a factor. These results could suggest designs for future epidemiological studies that include more information on individual exposures and other risk factors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - Previous research has used short, 2-year panels constructed from matched CPS files to examine a number of topics. This paper shows how researchers can examine labor market transitions using March CPS data without matching, demonstrates that separation rates from these panels are comparable to those generated using the more traditional approach of comparing two points in time, and describes the adjustments required to ensure that the series are consistent over time. The main advantage to using unmatched data, compared with matched data, is the absence of attrition bias and an unbroken time series dating back to 1976. I provide two examples of how these short panels can be used to address issues that would normally require longitudinal data.

AB  - This paper asks whether employment during high school impacts youths' grade point average. Unlike much of the prior literature, it allows for the endogeneity of the hours and dropout decisions, uses ASVAB test scores, and tests whether youth employment is dynamic. The results indicate that high school employment and its lag have small, negative impacts on academic grade point average for both males and females. The hours effects diminish when a fixed person effect is included, and they become statistically insignificant when hours are instrumented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The article presents a summary of some significant changes in unemployment insurance legislation in the U.S. enacted in 2006. In Alabama, a covered employee is a co-employee of both the professional employer organization (PEO) and the client. In California, a penalty is assessed of not less than two nor more than ten times the claimant's weekly benefit amount against an employer who willfully makes a false statement concerning the termination of a claimant who performed services for an educational institution. In Colorado, the law deletes the requirement for an individual quitting to relocate because of a spouse in the military transferred for medical-related purposes in time of war or armed conflict to submit an affidavit stating residence in Colorado for a period of two years.

AB  - This research article investigates the status of knowledge management (KM) practices implemented across federal agencies of the U.S. government. It analyzes the extent to which this status is influenced by the size of the agency, whether or not the agency type is a cabinet-level department or independent agency, the longevity of KM practices implemented in the agency, whether or not the agency has adopted a written KM policy or strategy, and whether the primary responsibility for KM practices in the agency is directed by a chief knowledge officer (CKO) or KM unit versus other functional locations in the agency. The research also tests for possible KM practitioner bias, since the survey was directed to members of the Knowledge Management Working Group (KMWG) of the Federal Chief Information Officers (CIO) Council who are KM practitioners in federal agencies.

N2  - This paper constructs, for the five largest cities in the United States, user costs and rents for the same structure, in levels (i.e., measured in dollars). The levels formulation is a major advantage over indexes since one can answer questions like "Is it cheaper to rent or to own?" or "Are houses overvalued?" because such questions are essentially about the levels of rents and house prices and their fundamentals. These new measures are constructed using Consumer Expenditure Survey (CE) Interview data from 1982 to 2002, along with house price appreciation forecasts from Verbrugge (2007a). Characteristics, current market value, and rental equivalence of owner-occupied housing are used in a regression framework to predict the rent associated with a structure with median characteristics in each city. The property value of this median house is used to construct a user cost estimate for this structure. We find that, for the median structure in each city, estimated user costs and rents diverge to a surprising degree, in keeping with the previously noted findings of Verbrugge (2007a). It is not always cheaper to own: user costs sometimes lie well above rents. Finally, the dynamics of the estimated price-to-rent ratio are generally similar to those found in conventional estimates based upon indexes, suggesting that the present study might be useful for scaling or normalizing other estimates.

N2  - Are today's youngest retirees following in the footsteps of their older peers with respect to gradual retirement? Recent evidence from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) suggests that most older Americans with full-time career jobs later in life transitioned to another job prior to complete labor force withdrawal. This paper explores the retirement patterns of a younger cohort of individuals from the HRS known as the "War Babies." These survey respondents were born between 1942 and 1947 and were 57 to 62 years of age at the time of their fourth bi-annual HRS interview in 2004. We compare the War Babies to an older cohort of HRS respondents and find that, for the most part, the War Babies have followed the gradual-retirement trends of their slightly older predecessors. Traditional one-time, permanent retirements appear to be fading, a sign that the impact of changes in the retirement income landscape since the 1980s continues to unfold.

N2  - Are today's youngest retirees following in the footsteps of their older peers with respect to gradual retirement? Recent evidence from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) suggests that most older Americans with full-time career jobs later in life transitioned to another job prior to complete labor force withdrawal. This paper explores the retirement patterns of a younger cohort of individuals from the HRS known as the "War Babies." These survey respondents were born between 1942 and 1947 and were 57 to 62 years of age at the time of their fourth bi-annual HRS interview in 2004. We compare the War Babies to an older cohort of HRS respondents and find that, for the most part, the War Babies have followed the gradual-retirement trends of their slightly older predecessors. Traditional one-time, permanent retirements appear to be fading, a sign that the impact of changes in the retirement income landscape since the 1980s continues to unfold.

N2  - Between 1999 and 2006, there were two episodes during which inflation in the Rent index in the CPI diverged markedly from inflation in the index for Owner's Equivalent Rent (OER); early in 2007, these series began to diverge again. Such divergence often prompts many to question CPI methods. A key difference between these two series is that OER indexes are based upon rents which have received a utilities adjustment--an adjustment which is necessary because the OER index is intended to track pure rent-of-shelter, not shelter-plus-utilities. Critics have claimed that the Rent-OER inflation divergences stem from an inappropriate utilities adjustment. This claim is false. In this paper, we decompose the Rent-OER inflation differential into its various determinants, and explore the multiple causes of this divergence over time. There is only one divergence episode--of only six months duration--which is primarily attributable to the utilities adjustment procedure. Indeed, the utilities adjustment sometimes reduced potential divergence between the two series. Instead, the main culprit is rental market segmentation; that is, different rent inflation rates were experienced by different parts of the rental market. Before 2003, the Rent-OER inflation divergence mainly resulted from divergent rental inflation rates within metropolitan areas: areas with a higher proportion of renters experienced higher rental inflation. After 2004, similar divergent inflation across metropolitan areas resulted in higher Rent inflation. Compared to other units, rent control units experienced higher inflation in 2004 (and, to a lesser extent, before mid-2001 and in 2006), which increased Rent inflation but not OER inflation. Finally, in early 2007, there was a sizable divergence between OER and Rent inflation, driven mostly by divergent rental inflation rates within metropolitan areas; the extent of the divergence only becomes evident once the effect of the utilities adjustment is accounted for.

N2  - This study uses data on Canadian establishments to test whether particular organizational structures are correlated with the likelihood of adopting process and product innovations, controlling for the endogeneity of the predictors. We find that establishments with decentralized decision-making, information-sharing programs, or incentive pay plans are significantly more likely to innovate than other establishments. Larger establishments and those with a high vacancy rate are also more likely to innovate. These findings are consistent with a model in which workers hold information about production inefficiencies or consumer demands that can lead to productive innovations and that workplace organization attributes facilitate the communication and implementation of those ideas.

N2  - Airplanes were invented by hobbyists and experimenters, and some personal computers were as well. Similarly, many open-source software developers are interested in the software they make, and not focused on profit. Based on these cases, this paper has a model of agents called tinkerers who want to improve a technology for their own reasons, by their own criteria, and who see no way to profit from it. Under these conditions, they would rather share their technology than work alone. The members of the agreement form an information network. The network's members optimally specialize based on their opportunities in particular aspects of the technology or in expanding or managing the network. Endogenously there are incentives to standardize on designs and descriptions of the technology. A tinkerer in the network who sees an opportunity to produce a profitable product may exit the network to create a startup firm and conduct focused research and development. Thus a new industry can arise.

N1  - Accession Number: 0938894; Keywords: Depreciation, Hedonics, Model Averaging, Inflation, CPI Bias; Publication Type: Working Paper; Update Code: 200711
N2  - As a rental unit ages, its quality typically falls; a failure to correct for this would result in downward bias in the CPI. We investigate the BLS age bias imputation and explore two potential categories of error: approximations related to the construction of the age bias factor, and model mis-specification. We find that, as long as one stays within the context of the current official regression specification, the approximation errors are innocuous. On the other hand, we find that the official regression specification--which is more or less of the form commonly used in the hedonic rent literature--is severely deficient in its ability to match the conditional log-rent vs. age relationship in the data, and performs poorly in out-of-sample tests. It is straightforward to improve the specification in order to address these deficiencies. However, basing estimates upon a single regression model is risky. Age-bias adjustment inherently suffers from a general problem facing some types of hedonic-based adjustments, which is related to model uncertainty. In particular, age-bias adjustment relies upon specific coefficient estimates, but there is no guarantee that the true marginal influence of a regressor is being estimated in any given model, since one cannot guarantee that the Gauss-Markov conditions hold. To address this problem, we advocate the use of model averaging, which is a method that minimizes downside risks related to model misspecification and generates more reliable coefficient estimates. Thus, after selecting several appropriate models, we estimate age-bias factors by taking a trimmed average over the factors derived from each model. We argue that similar methods may be readily implemented by statistical agencies (even very small ones) with little additional effort. We find that, in 2004 data, BLS age-bias factors were too small, on average, by nearly 40%. Since the age bias term itself is rather small, the implied downward-bias of the aggregate indexes is modest. On the other hand, errors in particular metropolitan areas were much larger, with annual downward-bias as large as 0.6%.

N2  - This paper first utilizes annual surveys between the 1981 and 2000 waves of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth to estimate the effect of being overweight on hourly wages. Previous studies have shown that white women are the only race-gender group for which weight has a statistically significant effect on wages. This paper finds a statistically significant continual increase in the wage penalty for overweight and obese white women followed throughout two decades. A supporting analysis from a cross-sectional dataset, comprised of the 1987 National Medical Expenditure Survey and the 2000 and 2004 waves of the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey, also shows an increasing wage penalty. The bias against weight has increased, despite drastic increases in the rate of obesity in the United States. Alternatively, the increasing rarity of thinness has led to its rising premium.

N2  - This paper reviews the expenditures made by households in selected areas of the United States as defined by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and classified into four regional areas. Following a model previously devised and published in the Monthly Labor Review, it then attempts to break down these aggregate expenditures into five categories of change which can impact total expenditures. These categories, or components of change in total expenditures, are population growth within a geographic region, the effects of changes in population concentrations between local areas within a geographic region, allowances for any changes in the definitions of goods and services as collected and priced by the CPI, price changes, and quantity changes. Some of the largest impacts in each region for each component are discussed. Comparisons of results are made between regions for selected goods and services in each of the eight major groups of commodities and services used by the CPI.

N2  - An ongoing debate surrounding BLS productivity data is that official labor productivity measures may be overstating productivity growth because of an increase in unmeasured hours worked outside the traditional workplace. This paper uses both the ATUS and May CPS Work Schedules and Work at Home Supplements to determine whether the number of hours worked by nonfarm business employees are underestimated and increasing over time due to unmeasured hours worked at home. We find that 8 - 9 percent of nonfarm business employees bring some work home from the workplace. In addition, those who bring work home report working longer hours than those who work exclusively in a workplace, resulting in a 0.8 - 1.1 percent understatement of measured hours worked. However, we find no conclusive evidence that productivity trends were biased over the 1997-2005 period due to work brought home from the workplace.

N2  - This paper reviews the literature on R&D to provide guidelines for recent efforts to include R&D in the national income accounts. The main conclusions are: 1. Measures of R&D as an asset held by a particular owner must be complemented by estimates of the spillover effect of R&D in order to obtain a reliable measure of the overall effect of R&D on productivity growth. 2. If research financed by the government and research financed by business are both counted as investment, some double counting occurs and growth accounting analysis overstates the role of research relative to other factors. 3. The overall rate of return to R&D is very large, perhaps 25 percent as a private return and a total of 65 percent for social returns. However, these returns apply only to privately financed R&D in industry. Returns to many forms of publicly financed R&D are near zero. 4. Firm R&D should be allocated to the different industries in which a firm produces, rather than all credited to the firm's main industry. An allocation procedure is proposed. 5. Much further work needs to be carried out to understand how R&D conducted in the richest countries is transmitted to developing countries. Detailed microeconomic data on firms or establishments in developing nations will be necessary to understand the channels of technology transfer more fully.

The HICP is an internationally comparable measure of consumer price inflation. A major difference between the U.S. Consumer price index (CPI) and the HICP is that the latter excludes owner-occupied housing from its scope.

AB  - Changes in the U.S. telephone system, especially the rapid growth in the prevalence and use of cell phones, raise concerns about undercoverage error in random digit dial (RDD) telephone samples. A supplement to the Current Population Survey (CPS) was conducted in 2004 to examine telephone service and usage in U.S. households. This article explores the potential for biases in RDD surveys resulting from the increases in cell phones by presenting estimates of the percentage of households with different types of telephone service, including the percentage of cell-only households, and giving demographic profiles of households by type of telephone service. Logistic regression models examine variables that predict whether households are without a telephone or only have cell phones. These predictors may be used for weighting adjustments to reduce undercoverage biases. We address some additional issues, including the wording of questions for measuring telephone service, that are relevant if telephone-sampling methods are revised to include cell phones. The estimates from the CPS supplement are also used to help understand some of the new sampling and weighting problems associated with selecting samples from cell phone numbers.

AB  - In 2004, we conducted a nationwide dual flame survey of landline and cell phone numbers to evaluate the feasibility of including cell phone numbers in a random digit dial telephone survey. Households with both landline and cell phones were eligible for selection in both samples. This article describes our design and data collection methods; compares the results from the two samples (with an emphasis on operational characteristics); and presents the outcomes of two experimental manipulations designed to improve the cell phone response rate.

AB  - The particle swarm algorithm uses principles derived from social psychology to find optimal points in a search space. The present paper decomposes and reinterprets the particle swarm in order to discover new ways of implementing the algorithm. Some essential characteristics of the method are illuminated, and some inessential features are discarded. Various new forms are tested and found to perform well on a suite of test functions. In particular, it is shown that the traditional trajectory formulas can be replaced with random number generators sampling from various symmetrical probability distributions. The excellent performance of these new versions demonstrates that the strength of the algorithm is in the interactions of the particles, rather than in their behavior as individuals.

AB  - Abstract: Misspecifications in econometric models can result in misestimated coefficients. An improved method for specifying econometric models is presented. The mean square error of an empirical best linear unbiased predictor of an individual drawing for the dependent variable of an improved model is derived. These ideas are illustrated using certain misspecified and improved models of the demand for gasoline in the US. It is shown that the forecasting gains from using the improved instead of the misspecified version of the gasoline demand model are very large. A description of a computational algorithm for combining iteratively re-scaled generalized least-squares estimation with out-of-sample multistep-ahead forecast generation is included.

AB  - Examines whether having a son rather than a daughter has a significant effect on the parents' labor supply during 1994-2006. The article found that a child's gender did have an effect on the parents' labor force behavior among immigrants compared to natives. The child's gender had a different effect depending on the racial group. The groups with the greatest difference were Asian men and men in the "other race" category, working on average six weeks less when the child was male. The article attributed this to the men's desire to spend more time with sons than daughters, especially when the sons were young, but also suggested that sons needed their father's time more than daughters did.

N2  - Using the Canadian Workplace and Employee Survey and controlling for individual and establishment fixed-effects, we find that within a year of adopting a computer, the average worker earns a 3.6% higher wage than a worker who did not use a computer. Returns are even larger for managers and professionals, highly educated workers, and those with significant prior computer experience. Employees who adopt computers for use with applications that require high cognitive skills earn the highest returns.

AB  - This article reports on the high fatality rates, as well as occupational injuries and illnesses, involving automotive service technicians and mechanics in the U.S. between 2003 and 2005. Contact with objects and equipment, such as parts and materials and vehicles, represents a significant hazard for both fatal and nonfatal injuries. Among the causes of nonfatal cases are overexertion and sprains and strains. Assaults and violent acts are the leading causes of workplace fatalities.

AB  - A theoretical analysis of the new Keynesian Phillips curve (NKPC) is provided, formulating the conditions under which the NKPC coincides with a real-world relation that is not spurious or misspecified. A time-varying-coefficient (TVC) model, involving only observed variables, is shown to exactly represent the underlying “true” NKPC under certain conditions. In contrast, “hybrid” NKPC models, which add lagged-inflation and supply-shock variables, are shown to be spurious and misspecified. We also show how to empirically implement the NKPC under the assumption that expectations are formed rationally. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The article discusses on overexposure of workers to methylene chloride. It states that the monitoring visit conducted by Occupational Safety and Health Administration(OSHA) evaluated the spray operation for stripping paint and varnish from furniture. Based on its assessment of the spraying operation and the amount of methylene chloride used, the agency recommended using a combination of a slotted back draft hood coupled with a downdraft ventilation system, thus they reduced inhalation.

The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U), U.S. City Average, for All Items, increased 2.5 percent in 2006, compared with 3.4 percent during 2005.1 A smaller rise in the energy index was responsible for the lesser increase in consumer prices last year. The CPI-U excluding food and energy increased more in 2006 than in 2005, 2.6 percent compared with 2.2 percent. Increases in residential rents were higher in 2006 than in the previous year, mirroring a reduction in the number of residential rental vacancies.

AB  - The article discusses how older U.S. citizens spend their time. At retirement, the opportunity cost of spending time in leisure and household production activities declines, because individuals no longer forgo wages to engage in these activities. When comparing the time use of older U.S. citizens who are employed with those who are not employed, one expects to find that the nonemployed spend more time in household production activities and either more or less time in leisure activities than those who are employed. Although the overall leisure time of older U.S. citizens increased with age as individuals retired from the workforce, time spent socializing remained fairly constant at two-thirds to three-quarters of an hour per day.

AB  - The article compares the three childcare measures, the primary childcare, secondary childcare, and time with children, in the American Time Use Survey (ATUS) to the corresponding measures from a recent time-diary study that collects secondary childcare using the "What else were you doing?" approach. In both the ATUS and earlier time-diary studies, taking the train would be considered the primary activity. In the earlier time-diary studies, reading to a child would have been captured by the "What else were you doing?" question and recorded as "talking and reading to children," whereas the ATUS identifies this only as time when a child under age 13 was in the respondent's care.

N2  - A two-period model is constructed to study the interactions among consumers, merchants, and a card issuer. The model yields the following results. First, if the issuer's cost of funds is not too high and the merchant's profit margin is sufficiently high, in every equilibrium of our model the issuer extends credit to qualified consumers, merchants accept credit cards and consumers face a positive probability of default. Second, the issuer's ability to charge higher merchant discount fees depends on the number of customers gained when credit cards are accepted. Thus, credit cards exhibit characteristics of network goods. Third, each merchant faces a prisoner's dilemma where each independently chooses to accept credit cards, however all merchants' two-period profits are reduced because of intertemporal business stealing across industries.

AB  - Abstract: This paper exploits a new matched universal and longitudinal employer-employee database at the US Census Bureau to empirically investigate the link between firms'' choice of worker mix and the implied relationships between productivity and wages. We particularly focus on the decision making process of new firms and examine the role of both learning and selection. Our key empirical results are: [(i)] We find substantial and persistent differences in earnings per worker, output per worker, and worker mix across businesses within narrowly defined industries, which remain even after controlling for other observable characteristics. [(ii)] Within narrowly defined industries, mature businesses locate along an upward sloping productivity/worker skill profile and a closely related upward sloping earnings per worker/worker skill profile. [(iii)] We find that new businesses exhibit even greater heterogeneity in earnings and productivity than do mature businesses, but that they adjust their worker mix in a manner consistent with selection and learning effects. As firms age, businesses that have made “errors” with their worker mix (and on other dimensions) either exit or adjust their worker skill mix in the direction of the profiles of mature businesses.

AB  - The article investigates the effects of Hurricane Katrina on the economy and labor market of New Orleans, Louisiana. The over-the-year loss to the city economy averaged 95,000 jobs during the first 10 months after the hurricane. The loss in wages during the 10 months following Katrina was approximately $2.9 billion, with 76 percent of it, or $2.2 billion, associated with the private sector. In terms of its effect on the private sector, about 6 out of every 10 jobs lost and nearly half of all dollars in lost wages were associated with three sectors including accommodation and food services, health care and social assistance, and retail trade.

AB  - The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation's Graduate Education Initiative (GEI) provided funding to 54 departments in the humanities and related social sciences during the 1990s to improve their PhD programs. This article estimates the aspects of PhD programs the GEI influenced and how these aspects influenced attrition and graduation probabilities. It uses survey data on entrants to PhD programs at 44 of the 'treatment' departments and 41 'control' departments during a 15-year period that spanned the start of the GEI. Factor analysis is used to group more than 100 program characteristics into a smaller number of factors, and the impact of the GEI on each and the impact of each on attrition and graduation probabilities are estimated. The article estimates the routes via which the GEI influenced attrition and graduation rates and indicates which aspects of PhD programs departments should concentrate on to improve their programs' performance.

AB  - The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) faces sample size constraints when computing its Consumer Price Index (CPI-U). The samples are not sufficiently large for the index to equal a true "fixed basket" price index. This study adjusts for this small-sample bias by estimating the second order of a stochastic expansion of the index. Unlike increasing sample size, this adjustment is inexpensive because it uses the same data used to compute the CPI-U. From the beginning of 1999 to the end of 2003, we estimate that 63% of the difference between the BLS superlative index (C-CPI-U) and the CPI-U is the result of finite-sample bias, and the other 37% is commodity substitution bias.

AB  - Many farms have begun operating websites in order to promote their businesses. This study uses data from a 2005 survey of farms in the northeastern United States to identify characteristics of farmers, farms, and farm businesses associated with website adoption. Following a technology-adoption framework, a probit model of website use is estimated to identify significant relationships. Sales location, product type, number of advertising methods used, high-speed Internet connection, land tenure arrangement, and gross farm sales is found to be significantly related to website adoption.

AB  - Data from the 2003 National Health Interview Survey (n = 12,943) of US workers aged 18 to 64 years were used to estimate the annual cost of lost work (ACLW) and lost productivity (ACLP) due to bed days. The average lost workdays (LWDs) was estimated to be 8.39 for US workers compared with 5.62 bed days (BDs). The prevalence of high LWDs (>or=30 days) was 2.9% for US workers compared with 1.3% for BDs (>or=30 days). Regression analyses showed that female workers had higher adjusted mean LWDs and BDs than did male workers. Workers in the mining industry had the highest mean of 26.71 LWDs compared with 5.58 LWDs for workers in the wholesale industry. The total ACLW and ACLP was estimated to be $62.8 billion ($US 2003; 95% CI = $57.53-$67.52 billion).

AB  - Metadata and an appropriate metadata model are nontrivial components of information architecture conceptualization and implementation, particularly when disparate and dispersed systems are integrated. Metadata availability can enhance retrieval processes, improve information organization and navigation, and support management of digital objects. To support these activities efficiently, metadata need to be modeled appropriately for the tasks. The authors' work focuses on how to understand and model metadata requirements to support the work of end users of an integrative statistical knowledge network (SKN). They report on a series of user studies. These studies provide an understanding of metadata elements necessary for a variety of user-oriented tasks, related business rules associated with the use of these elements, and their relationship to other perspectives on metadata model development. This work demonstrates the importance of the user perspective in this type of design activity and provides a set of strategies by which the results of user studies can be systematically utilized to support that design.

AB  - Data from the 2003 National Health Interview Survey (n = 12,943) of US workers aged 18 to 64 years were used to estimate the annual cost of lost work (ACLW) and lost productivity (ACLP) due to bed days. The average lost workdays (LWDs) was estimated to be 8.39 for US workers compared with 5.62 bed days (BDs). The prevalence of high LWDs (≥30 days) was 2.9% for US workers compared with 1.3% for BDs (≥30 days). Regression analyses showed that female workers had higher adjusted mean LWDs and BDs than did male workers. Workers in the mining industry had the highest mean of 26.71 LWDs compared with 5.58 LWDs for workers in the wholesale industry. The total ACLW and ACLP was estimated to be $62.8 billion ($US 2003; 95% CI = $57.53-$67.52 billion). (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)

AB  - The article focuses on the changes in occupational ranking and hourly earnings in the U.S. from 1997 to 2005. The National Compensation Survey (NCS) published estimates of average hourly earnings for 418 occupations that could be compared in 1997 and 2005. In June 2005, full-time workers in private industry and state and local governments averaged $19.70 per hour. Average earnings of chief executives and general administrators, public administration, advanced only 1.9 percent from 1997 to 2005, resulting in the largest downward change.

AB  - The article provides information a study which investigated the employment dynamics based on the longevity and survival of businesses in the U.S. The study used the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) program of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The QCEW program contains information on 8.9 million U.S. business establishments in both the public and private sector. The employment data on surviving establishments in the cohort reveal that, as establishments stay in business, their employment grows. The employment growth of survivors can be seen in the relationship between initial employment and average peak employment at 4 years and at 7 years. The variation in employment growth contrasts with fairly stable establishment survival.

AB  - The article offers information on a type of 401(k) plan referred to in National Compensation Survey (NCS) publications as a savings and thrift plan. The 401(k) plan determines employers' contributions by applying a matching formula to the contributions made by each employee. The 2002-2003 NCS bulletin shows the distribution of types of matching formulas among savings and thrift participants i the U.S. Fully 68 percent of participants have plans in which the employer matches employee contributions at a flat rate. Information is presented on two provisions of savings and thrift 401(k) plans that characterize the generosity of the plans. Overall, there is a diversity among the generosity provisions of 401(k) plans, even when only savings and thrift plans are considered, as is done here.

AB  - The article assesses imports and exports in the U.S. Import prices rose for the fifth consecutive year, and export prices experienced their largest increase in 18-years. The rise in corn and soybean prices led the increase in export prices, while the continued rise in costs for energy and metals influenced overall increases in both the import and export price indexes. Import prices increased 2.5% in 2006 following an increase of 8.0% in 2005. Consumer goods prices were impacted more by changes in the exchange rate than from raw materials prices, but higher raw materials prices played a role in pushing up import consumer prices in 2006.

AB  - The article presents a total economic outlook for the years 2006-2016 in the U.S. Gross domestic product (GDP), which measures the sales of domestically produced goods and services to final users, is expected to grow at an annual average rate of 2.8%. Over the same period, consumer spending is projected to maintain its 2006 share of about 70%. In addition, a deficit foreign trade position is also predicted to persist, as well as growth of exports in real terms. The forecast also expects the unemployment rate to be at 5% in 2016.

AB  - The article presents a projection on the growth of the labor force for the period of 2006-2016 in the U.S. It notes three important aspects in the labor market, which are the slowing of population growth; an increase in the number of older workers; and growth in the racial and ethnic diversity of the labor force. It mentions that the trend in the labor force is a consequence of changes in both the population and labor-force participation rates. In addition, the labor force is projected to grow at a pace slightly less than that of the overall population. According to the author, this reflects an aging workforce as the baby boomers move into the ages considered traditional for retirement.

AB  - The article examines the growth of industry output and employment for the period 2006-2016 in the U.S. It shows the combined macro effects of slower growth in both productivity and the labor force. An annual growth rate of 1.0% is projected for nonagricultural wage and salary workers. Growth in both employment and output is slower than the respective annual growth rates of 1.3% and 3.0% in the 1996–2006 period. In addition, it expects the long-term shift of employment from the goods-producing to the service-producing sectors to continue.

AB  - The article discusses the occupational components of the employment projections for the period 2006-2016 in the U.S. It expects the two largest occupational groups in 2006, professional and related occupations and service occupations, to continue to be the largest in 2016. These two groups are seen to be the fastest growing occupations, at 63% of the total projected growth. On the other hand, the fishing, forestry, and farming occupations and the production occupations, are projected to decline over the 10-year span. The article also examines the most significant source of training by occupation, which reveals that the occupations requiring short-term on-the-job training are expected to be about 30% of all new jobs in the period covered.

AB  - In this article we show how to predict small-area means and obtain valid mean squared error estimators and confidence intervals when the areas represented in the sample are sampled with unequal probabilities possibly related to the true (unknown) area means and the sampling of units within the selected areas is with probabilities possibly related to the outcome values. Ignoring the effects of the sampling process on the distribution of the observed outcomes in such cases may bias the inference very severely. Classical design-based inference that uses the randomization distribution of probability-weighted estimators cannot be applied for predicting the means of nonsampled areas. We propose simple test statistics for testing the informativeness of the selection of areas and sampling of units within the selected areas. We illustrate the proposed procedures by a simulation study and a real application of estimating mean body mass index in U.S. counties, using data from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

AB  - Warren Mitofsky and Joseph Waksberg were two of the most influential researchers in telephone surveys and survey research methods. Their development of the Mitofsky-Waksberg method for random digit dialing sampling revolutionized telephone sampling and surveys. Jointly and separately, Waksberg and Mitofsky were instrumental in the development of many innovative methods and applications. This article reviews some of their contributions and discusses how their approaches to these problems may be a model for addressing issues that are being encountered currently in the United States in cell phone research.

AB  - The article focuses on the Employment Cost Index (ECI) which provides a valuable tool that can be used to adjust wage survey data--a process known as "aging"--to account for the time lag between the last published survey data and the present. The ECI is well suited for aging wage survey data to account for time lags, because it measures percent change and is conducted quarterly. The ECI is computed from a subsample of the National Compensation Survey (NCS).

AB  - Computer mediated communication (CMC) provides a way of incorporating participant interaction into online environments. Use of such features as discussion forums and chats enhance collaborative work and learning. For many, however, CMC may be an unfamiliar medium. To ensure a successful CMC event, it is essential to adequately prepare participants for CMC. A proposed four step model prepares participants for CMC. The four steps include conducting a needs and population analysis, providing an orientation before the event and shortly after the event begins, and providing continuing support.

T1  - POLICY EXPERIMENTATION WITH ADMINISTRATIVE COMPENSATION FOR MEDICAL INJURY: ISSUES UNDER STATE CONSTITUTIONAL LAW.

AB  - Dissatisfaction with the costs and performance of the medical malpractice system has led to interest in far-reaching liability reform. Proposals for experimentation with administrative compensation systems for medical injury, known as "health courts," have caught the attention of state and federal policymakers. The health courts model proposes an administrative tribunal that would operate outside the regular judicial system, with specialized judges awarding compensation in malpractice cases based on a finding of avoidability of injury, rather than negligence. Because health courts would abrogate the traditional authority of the judiciary and the jury, they would probably invite constitutional challenges. This Article describes the potential challenges and assesses how health court systems would likely fare. The Article focuses on state constitutional law, but much of the analysis also applies to federal claims. The Article's conclusions are informed by an analysis of 132 cases involving a range of constitutional challenges to malpractice reforms enacted in 1985-86 and 1974-75. The analysis tracks the success rates of these challenges. This scorecard is pertinent because health courts include many of the features found in previous reforms. However, health courts' core feature--vesting exclusive jurisdiction in a tribunal that does not employ juries--lacks precedent in medical malpractice law. To understand the tests and frameworks that would be applied to this feature, this Article analyzes judicial opinions interpreting jury-trial and open-courts provisions of state constitutions. Recognizing that a dominant theme in this jurisprudence is the requirement of a "quid pro quo" when claimants' rights are limited, the Article considers the social bargain presented by health courts proposals, focusing on the potential for improved access to compensation for claimants and greater reliability of decision-making. The Article concludes that a carefully designed health courts pilot could withstand constitutional scrutiny in many states. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - Studies of the empirical relationship between income and mortality often rely on data aggregated by geographic areas and broad population groups and do not distinguish between disabled and nondisabled persons. This paper investigates the relationship between individual mortality and lifetime income with a large microdatabase of current and former retired participants in the U.S. Social Security system. Logit models by gender and race confirm a negative relationship. Differences in age of death between low and high levels of lifetime income are on the order of two to three years. Income-related mortality differences between blacks and whites are largest at low-income levels, but gender differences appear to be large and persistent across income levels.

N2  - We develop a model in which some child labor is exploitative. Since exploited child laborers are paid less than the value of the marginal product of labor, there is scope for policy intervention to be Pareto improving. We illustrate this by showing that a system of inspection and fines targeted on exploitative child labor increases the aggregate output produced by children. We also establish that such intervention secures the release of children from exploitative working conditions, to their benefit. The distributional implications of the intervention among employers and among children who had not been exploited depends on whether capital is mobile internationally, and can depend on whether the elimination of exploitative child labor is partial or complete.

AB  - As a 100 percent service-connected disabled veteran who took full advantage of the Veterans Administration (VA) education benefits, I feel confidant that my advice to this new generation of wounded and injured warriors is right on target: If you think you need time to 'get it together' before going to work post discharge, don't spend that time sitting in front of the television or engaging in behavior that is not productive—use your education benefits to maximize your potential future. The information provided further in the chapter about the various education options available to veterans and their dependents might be the most important information you learn in this book about veterans' benefits. This is because education will allow you to reach your full potential—not just get a good job, but also kick off a new career. Education is the big equalizer. It is the thing that will catapult you into a new career path and allow you to pursue the career of your choice. There are so many options available to you in the information provided further in the chapter that (based on eligibility) if you have a genuine interest in pursuing something, the VA is likely to have a program that will help you reach your goal. I offer my background as an example of the ways that the VA's education benefits allow you to pursue your goals. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)

N2  - The relationship between exchange-rate volatility and aggregate export volumes is examined using a model that includes real export earnings of oil-exporting economies as a determinant of export volumes of a sample of 12 industrial countries. Four fixed-coefficient panel-data estimation techniques, including a generalized method of moments (GMM) and random coefficient (RC) estimation, are employed on panel data covering the estimation period 1977:1-2003:4 using three measures of exchange-rate volatility. Our aim is to provide a theoretically and empirically justifiable specification that can guide researchers. In contrast to recent studies employing panel data, we find little evidence that volatility has a negative and significant impact on trade. We use second-generation RC estimation, which corrects for biases arising from incorrect functional forms, omitted variables, and measurement errors. Our results suggest that the finding of a significant and negative impact of volatility is attributable to specification biases.

AB  - Problem: Although parking facilities are a common feature of the landscape in the United States, little is known about their safety. Method: A dataset of parking lot fatalities for 1993-2002, created from the Census of Fatal Occupational Injury (CFOI) research file, was analyzed. Results: The most common events in parking lots were contact with objects (15%), pedestrian fatalities (13%), homicides (36%), and suicides (11%). The perpetrators of parking lot fatalities, compared to all workplace homicides, were more likely to be known to the victim. Conclusion: The 206 work-related fatalities per year in parking lots present challenges to the safety community. Although much of the risk results from the usage of motor vehicles, violent acts are even more prominent. Impact on industry: Because homicides are most prevalent in parking lots, both administrative and environmental measures may lower the risk of homicide. Although difficult to assess, various elements of the design of parking facilities may have an influence on the occurrence of injuries. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)

AB  - The Workforce Investment Act (WIA) of 1998 established a national system to meet the needs of businesses and job seekers through a one-stop system of employment services, job training, and education [16]. Although one of the principles of WIA is universal access, it is generally acknowledged that the workforce development system does not yet have the capacity to fully meet the complex needs of people with disabilities. The Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) in the United States Department of Labor is the federal agency assigned to address this issue. Consequently, ODEP initiated the ODEP Demonstration Program to improve the capacity of the One-Stop system to meet the needs of people with disabilities through a customized approach to employment in an adult targeted program. This paper describes the evaluation of the ODEP Demonstration Program. Westat, a private research firm in Rockville, Maryland, conducted an independent evaluation of the program for ODEP. A one-group pretest-posttest study design was used to assess changes to the workforce development system, employment, and employment retention among program participants. Initial and followup site visits were conducted at 31 demonstration sites to examine program implementation and systems change outcomes over time. Quantitative data were also collected from study sites to examine competitive employment and retention rates, as well as demographic and work-related characteristics (e.g., employment history, need for supervision) and program services received by program participants. This study shows that it is feasible to deliver a customized employment approach to people with disabilities as part of the WIA One-Stop system and to build and sustain the capacity of the workforce development system through training, physical and programmatic accessibility improvements, and improved coordination of services. Since some factors were strong predictors of whether or not individuals retain their jobs and earn a living wage (e.g., individualized services, type of disability, previous work experience, years of education), we conclude that continued policy and research efforts are necessary to customize supports and services so the One-Stop system will truly achieve universal accessibility.

N2  - We use data from the Current Population Survey collected both before and after Hurricane Katrina to estimate the impact of Katrina on the labor market outcomes of evacuees. Our estimates are based on a difference-in-differences strategy that compares evacuees to all residents of Katrina-affected areas prior to Katrina, with a control group consisting of individuals who originally resided outside the areas affected by the storm. We estimate that Katrina had substantial effects on the labor market outcomes of evacuees over the 13-month period immediately following Katrina. However, our estimates suggest that the effects of Katrina diminished substantially over time as evacuees recovered from the hurricane and adjusted to new economic and social conditions. Evacuees who did not return to their pre-Katrina areas have fared much worse in the labor market than have those who returned. Differences in individual and family characteristics account for some of the differences in outcomes between returnees and non-returnees. We present evidence that non-returnees have fared much worse in the labor market primarily because they came from areas that experienced greater housing damage due to the storm and thus were more likely to have had their lives severely disrupted.

N2  - This paper presents an experimental poverty measure and compares it to the current official measure, now more than 40 years old. The experimental measure is based on an approach, drawn from work by a National Academy of Sciences (NAS) expert Panel, to consistently define basic needs and family resources. The experimental thresholds are based on out-of-pocket spending by families on basic goods and services and are based on an "outflows" concept. The resource measure is based on an "inflows" concept and reflects money coming into the household that is available to meet one's basic needs. The U.S. Consumer Expenditure Survey serves as the basis for the experimental thresholds and the Current Population Survey Annual Social and Economic Supplement serves as the basis for the resource measure. Results for 1996 to 2005 are reported with trends examined. An important finding is that increases in expenditures for shelter and utilities, captured in the new thresholds, suggest a greater increase in the number of families not able to meet basic needs than is reflected by the official poverty statistics.

N2  - A large body of literature has examined the effect of parental employment--primarily maternal employment--on the amount of time spent with children and in childcare activities, and it is well documented that employed parents spend less time with their children than nonemployed parents. But not all time is equal. Research on circadian rhythms suggests that children's ability to benefit from parents' enriching childcare activities, such as reading to and playing with their children, varies by time of day. Thus, we would expect parents to engage in these enriching activities at times of day when it is the most valuable to their children. If employment causes parents to shift their childcare activities away from times when it is the most valuable, then differences in the amount of time that employed and nonemployed parents spend in childcare underestimate the effect of employment on parents' quality-adjusted time with their children. In this study, we examine whether employment results in parents shifting the time spent engaging in childcare activities to times that may be less productive. We develop a simple model of timing that predicts that parents will spend more time with their children when it is most productive. We then use data from the American Time Use Survey to compare workdays to nonwork days, and find that employment significantly affects the timing of enriching childcare activities for both mothers and fathers who are employed full time. In particular, these parents shift enriching childcare activities into the evening hours. In contrast, part-time employment has a much smaller effect on when mothers spent time with their children. Thus, part-time employment not only allows mothers to spend more time with their children compared to fulltime employment, it also allows them to spend that time when it may be the most beneficial and enjoyable.

N2  - In this paper we provide new and detailed evidence on the impact on the U.S. CPI of the appearance and growth of new types of product outlets. Using actual CPI microdata for 2002-2007, we find that the changing mix of outlets had a statistically significantly negative impact on average prices in most of the 14 item food categories we study. In contrast to previous studies of this issue, our approach allows us to examine the effects of changes in outlet mix both across outlet types (such as among large groceries, discount department stores, and warehouse club stores) and within those outlet categories. We also adjust for numerous differences in item characteristics such as brand name, organic certification, and, importantly, package size. In our sample we find that the upward impact on price from increased item quality has offset most of the downward impact of lower-priced outlets. We also provide evidence showing that a simulated "matched-model" approach similar to that used in the CPI yields indexes that differ to a surprising extent from our baseline hedonic indexes, which also hold outlet and item mix constant.

N2  - What role does self-employment play in the retirement process? Older Americans are staying in the labor force longer than prior trends would have predicted and many change jobs later in life. These job transitions are often within the same occupation or across occupations within wage-and-salary employment. The transition can also be out of wage-and-salary work and into self employment. Indeed, national statistics show that self employment becomes more prevalent with age, partly because self employment provides older workers with opportunities not found in traditional wage-and-salary jobs, such as flexibility in hours worked and independence. This paper analyzes transitions into and out of self employment among older workers who have had career jobs. We utilize the Health and Retirement Study, a nationally-representative dataset of older Americans, to investigate the prevalence of self employment among older workers who made a job transition later in life and to explore the factors that determine the choice of wage-and-salary employment or self employment. We find that post-career transitions into and out of self employment are common and that health status, career occupation, and financial variables are important determinants of these transitions. As older Americans and the country as a whole face financial strains in retirement income in the years ahead, self employment may be a vital part of the pro-work solution.

N2  - Using nationally representative data from the NLSY97 and a simultaneous equations model, this paper analyzes the financial motivations for and the effects of employment on U.S. college students' academic performance. The data confirm the predictions of the theoretical model that lower parental transfers and greater costs of attending college increase the number of hours students work while in school, although students are not very responsive to these financial motivations. They also provide some evidence that greater hours of work lead to lower grade point averages (GPAs).

N2  - This study offers new evidence on the effects of plan provisions on 401(k) participation rates, exploiting microdata from the National Compensation Survey, a large, nationally representative, establishment dataset. In particular, it closely considers the observed effects of the matching contributions made by employers to plan accounts, and makes direct comparisons between these effects and those of other plan provisions thought to affect participation: the availability of participant control over plan investment allocations; the option of drawing loans from plan accounts; and, especially, the institution of automatic enrollment in plans. The study first places these effects within a broadly sketched theoretical model in which plan participation and the match rate are jointly determined. This model puts results from the previous literature into context and helps define the "treatment effects" that different parties may find of interest. It then addresses the potential endogeneity affecting measurement of these treatment effects by employing several different techniques: adding previously unused controls; distinguishing between different dimensions of the match; and employing instrumental variables. The results of this analysis indicate that the effects of plan provisions vary dramatically between different income groups. The results among workers in the lowest income group comport with a growing consensus in the literature: employer matches have little or no effect on participation, while automatic enrollment has dramatic effects. But among workers in the middle income group, employer matches have substantial effects that may be larger than the effects of automatic enrollment.

AB  - The article focuses on three relatively new data sources released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) that measure the dynamics of the U.S. labor market. It explains how these new data on employment dynamics provide a more detailed picture of the labor market. These data illustrate the fluid nature of the labor market by highlighting the millions of jobs that appear or disappear and the millions of individuals. In 2002, the BLS began releasing data from the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey. In 2003, the BLS began releasing the Business Employment Dynamics data. In October 2007, the BLS has released seasonally adjusted monthly estimates of labor force status flows from the Current Population Survey.

AB  - The article discusses wage dispersion in the U.S., and presents a detailed analysis of various studies on the issue. It specifically refers to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) studies conducted 20 years ago by looking at how wages varied within occupations, within establishments, in 2004. An examination of BLS wage data suggests that wages vary widely within a particular job in a particular establishment. A comparison of BLS data from 1983 and 2004 suggests that within-job wage dispersion has increased over that period.

The data are analyzed separately for youths aged 16-17 and 18-19, and by sex, race, and ethnicity. The Current Population Survey (CPS) of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) produces data on school enrollment and employment for teens. These data show that teens are enrolled in school at increasingly higher rates since the mid 1980s, while fewer teens are employed during the school year than in the past.

AB  - This article presents a 17-year (1990-2006) retrospective summary of ongoing studies of occupational exposure to refractory ceramic fiber (RCF) in the United States. Beginning in 1990, RCF producers integrated and harmonized individual workplace monitoring programs to provide data useful for various longitudinal and cross-sectional analyses, benchmarking, and various technical analyses. For 10 of these 17 years, the program has been conducted in partnership with government agencies, first a 5-year (1993-1998) program with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and later another 5-year (2002-2006) program with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. This article updates earlier published studies and provides lessons to be learned in the design of industrial hygiene monitoring and control programs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The article focuses on the data from the Household Survey indicating that the U.S. labor market has weakened in 2007. It cites the economic recession in 2001 where the labor market successfully recovered in late 2003 and went forward to improve from 2004 to 2006. In 2007, the rate of employment growth continually decreased as compared to previous years and the rate of unemployment endlessly increased. Both the labor force rate and the employment-population ratio went down in 2007 and the rate of unemployment for some major worker groups are increasing. Moreover, the article provides data depicting that the earnings grew faster than inflation over the year.

AB  - The article focuses on the survey conducted by the Current Population Survey (CPS) that aims to determine how Hurricane Katrina evacuees have fared. It examines the data that were gathered with a set of Katrina concerns questions using the monthly CPS survey of the U.S. Census Bureau. The analysis of responses to the questions shows that around 1.5 million evacuees aged 16 years and above were moved out from their dwellings and that large evacuation was widespread. The demographic reports of evacuees reflect the statistical reports of those occupying in the counties that were affected by Hurricane Katrina. Moreover, the article points out that the data on evacuees who came back to their places disagreed clearly from those who did not in terms of statistics, labor force and income.

AB  - Abstract: Doctoral programs in the humanities and related social sciences are characterized by high attrition and long times to degree. In 1991 the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation launched the Graduate Education Initiative (GEI) to improve the quality of graduate programs and in turn reduce attrition and shorten time-to-degree. Over a 10-year period, the Foundation provided approximately $58 million to 54 departments at 10 major research universities. We estimate the impact of the GEI on attrition rates and time-to-degree using competing-risk duration models and student-level data. The data span the start of the GEI and include information for students at a set of control departments. We estimate that the GEI had modest impacts on student outcomes in the expected directions: reducing attrition rates, reducing time-to-degree, and increasing completion rates. The impacts of the GEI appear to have been driven in part by reductions in entering cohort size, increases in financial support, and increases in student quality. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

N2  - Using data from the 1999-2002 Canadian Workplace and Employee Survey, the authors investigate the relationship between job satisfaction and high-involvement work practices such as quality circles, feedback, suggestion programs, and task teams. They consider the direction of causality, identifying both reasons that work practices might affect job satisfaction, and reasons that satisfaction might affect participation in high-involvement practices. They find that satisfaction was positively associated with high-involvement practices, a result that held across different specifications of the empirical model and different subsets of data. Conversely, worker outcomes that might signal dissatisfaction, like work-related stress or grievance filing, appear to have been unrelated to high-involvement jobs. However, the data suggest the presence of self-selection: satisfied workers were more likely to increase participation in high-involvement practices, but participation did not predict future increases in satisfaction.

It is defined around an urbanized area of 50,000 or more population, whereas a micropolitan area contains only one or more urban clusters with a population of at least 10,000 but less than 50,000. Because of these types of area are based on urban cores, they are collectively referred to as Core-Based Statistical Areas (CBSA).

AB  - The article examines the slowdown in the labor market in the U.S. in the latter stage of 2007. The slowdown is indicated by increasing unemployment and slowing job growth. Based on the total private sector employment measured by the Current Employment Statistics (CES) survey, the trends in employment and job openings varied, with employment continuing to rise, while job openings started to fall. These deviating trends suggest that employers might have attempted to reduce costs by posting fewer job openings. Generally, the levels of job opening, hires and separations all decreased in 2007, but the labor market slowdown mostly reflected the decrease in hiring.

AB  - The article focuses on injuries, illnesses and fatalities in the U.S. coal mining industry in 2006. It mentions that the rate of fatalities showed an increase in 2006 as well as coal miners were more likely to suffer nonfatal injury than other private industry workers. It states that the U.S. Congress had implemented the Mine Improvement and New Emergency Response (MINER) Act of 2006 for mine safety and programs for emergency response plans.

AB  - The primary objective of this ecologic and contextual study is to determine statistically significant short-term associations between air quality (daily ozone and particulate concentrations) and Medicaid patient general acute care daily visits for asthma exacerbations over 11 years for Washington, DC residents, and to identify regions and populations that may experience increased asthma exacerbations related to air quality. After removing long-term trends and day-of-week effects in the Medicaid data, Poisson regression was applied to daily time series data. Significant associations were found between asthma-related general acute care visits and ozone concentrations. Significant associations with both ozone and PM2.5 concentrations were observed for 5- to 12-year-olds. While poor air quality was closely associated with asthma exacerbations observed in acute care visits in areas where Medicaid enrollment was high, the strongest associations between asthma-related visits and air quality were not always for the areas with the highest Medicaid enrollment.

AB  - The article analyzes the causes and effects of the so-called phantom employments rights in the U.S. These rights are those that most Americans deem true but become ineffective when brought at the first instance of legal consultation. It tackles the employment contracts in the U.S. which are presumed to be at-will, Pauline Kim's theory that the said rights emerged from the a confusion of social norms with legal rights, and the suggestions of Cass Sunstein and Cynthia Estlund. The author concludes that Americans have overestimated their legal protections.

AB  - Abstract: Health insurance in the United States is typically acquired through an employer-sponsored program. Often employees offered employer-provided health insurance have the option to extend coverage to their spouse and dependents. We investigate the implications of the “publicness” of health insurance coverage for the labor market careers of spouses. The theoretical innovations in the paper are to extend the standard partial–partial equilibrium labor market search model to a multiple searcher setting with the inclusion of multi-attribute job offers, with some of the attributes treated as public goods within the household. The model is estimated using data from the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) using a Method of Simulated Moments (MSM) estimator. We demonstrate how previous estimates of the marginal willingness to pay (MWP) for health insurance based on cross-sectional linear regression estimators may be seriously biased due to the presence of dynamic selection effects and misspecification of the decision-making unit.

AB  - Affordability is a vague concept. Bundorf and Pauly [Bundorf, M.K., Pauly, M.V., 2006. Is health insurance affordable for the uninsured? Journal of Health Economics 25 (4), 650–673] address this problem by establishing clear working definitions of affordability, and they use these definitions to estimate the percent of the uninsured who can afford insurance. When they establish their definitions of affordability, they use a microeconomic model that omits essential characteristics of the health insurance market. This comment suggests alternative definitions that better incorporate the structure of the health insurance market, discusses both endogeneity and specification problems that might occur when implementing their econometric model to estimate the fraction of “uninsured afforders,” and then recommends ways to reduce omitted variable bias and endogeneity bias.

N2  - In the United States, there is evidence that domestic non-filing firms do not always support dumping/countervailing duty investigations. Absent other factors, domestic firms have an unambiguous incentive to support petitions filed by other domestic producers. We argue that in cases where the non-complainant firm is not a significant importer or exporter, the most plausible explanation is that non-support acts as a costly signal of private information. Extending the model to allow firms to engage in cheap talk, such signaling can take place even in the absence of an investigation. This result provides an explanation for the puzzling observation that fewer antidumping investigations are filed than one would expect.

AB  - The article discusses the turbulence being faced by the airline industry. It states that economic downturn and the terrorist attack of September 11, 2001, has induced the largest decline in air travel. Airlines are aiming to reduce expenditures on labor and are cutting many jobs. They are being hampered in their restructuring efforts by high fuel prices. It reports that downturn in the U.S. economy was a major factor in the decline in the demand for air travel, especially business travelers. Continued financial losses, despite rising volume have resulted from a decline in airline ticket prices and rapidly rising fuel prices. Unable to raise prices airlines have dropped unprofitable routes and are attempting to reduce expenditures on remaining routes.

AB  - The article offers information about several employment programs for recipients of unemployment insurance. Unemployment Insurance (UI) program in the U.S. UI is an income support program, established in 1935 as part of the Social Security Act. It pays temporary benefits to workers who become unemployed through no fault of their own and aims to help unemployed workers return to productive employment. Worker profiling and reemployment services serve permanently dislocated UI beneficiaries and refers workers to reemployment services, so those services can be provided with funding under existing State and Federal laws. The short-time compensation program enables employers to reduce work hours for workers instead of laying them off.

AB  - Abstract: The paper provides evidence on New Keynesian Phillips Curves (NKPCs) for the euro area and a group of seven new member countries that joined the European Union (EU) in and after 2004 employing two alternative methods of estimation: the generalized method of moments (GMM) and time-varying coefficient (TVC) estimation techniques. The latter technique has the advantage over the former technique in that it can deal with possible specification biases and can detect spurious relationships that may have arisen from the structural changes of the past decades. The NKPCs are used to compare inflation dynamics between the euro area and the group of seven new member countries and are connected with sufficient conditions for monetary policies to be good policies. If the slopes of the short run Phillips curves are similar, in that the frequency of nominal price adjustments are comparable, the implication is that a one-size monetary policy may fit all — that is, both the euro area and the group comprising the new members.

As reported, despite having relatively low injury rates, the two territories have a number of safety and health concerns, including case severity, workplace violence, and repetitive motion incidents. In the Caribbean, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands are only separated by about 60 miles, but they can hardly be characterized as similar.

Truman's train trip across Iowa was initiated by an invitation to the Conservation Field Day and the National Plowing Match in Dexter, Iowa. It is noted that Truman needed to carry the farm belt to win the presidential election and Dexter would be his first major campaign speech on farm policy. Some of the President's remarks at a brief stop in Des Moines, Iowa are provided.

AB  - The article discusses the significance of business processes and business functions in creating a corporate strategy. It notes the importance of deciding on the right business function to become more efficient and competitive or address changes in demand for outputs or supply of inputs. It also highlights the development of a classification system to describe basic business processes of the firm and the business functions that are associated with them. In addition, the system is used in the Mass Layoff Statistics (MLS) program to determine the functions and processes involved in job losses from extend mass layoffs.

AB  - This paper demonstrates that, in the context of U.S. housing data, rents and ex ante user costs diverge markedly--in both growth rates and levels--for extended periods of time, a seeming failure of arbitrage and a puzzle from the perspective of standard capital theory. The tremendous volatility of even appropriately-smoothed ex ante annual user cost measures implies that such measures are unsuitable for inclusion in official price statistics. The divergence holds not only at the aggregate level, but at the metropolitan-market level as well, and is robust across different house price and rent measures. But transactions costs matter: the large persistent divergences did not imply the presence of unexploited profit opportunities. In particular, even though detached housing is readily moved between owner and renter markets, and the detached-unit rental market is surprisingly thick, transactions costs would have prevented risk-neutral investors from earning expected profits by buying a property to rent out for a year, and would have prevented risk-neutral homeowners from earning expected profits by selling their homes and becoming renters for a year. Finally, computing implied appreciation as a residual yields a house price forecast with huge errors; but either longer-horizon or no-real-capital-gains forecasts--which turn out to have similar forecast errors--imply a far less divergent user cost measure which might ultimately be useful for official price statistics. Some conjectures are offered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration's (MSHA) health standard for occupational noise exposure (30 CFR Part 62), became effective on September 13, 2000. An important feature of this revised noise standard is the emphasis it places on implementing and using feasible engineering and administrative noise controls to maintain a miner's noise exposure at or below the permissible exposure level (PEL). In an attempt to help answer questions regarding the feasibility of engineering and administrative noise controls, MSHA developed and issued a Program Information Bulletin (PIB) 04-18, "Technologically Achievable, Administratively Achievable, and Promising Noise Controls (30 CFR Part 62)." This article discusses the terms 'feasible,' 'achievable,' and 'promising' in terms of engineering and administrative noise controls. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - This article proposes a new class of nonlinear time series models in which one of the coefficients of an existing regression model is frequency dependent--that is, the relationship between the dependent variable and this explanatory variable varies across its frequency components. We show that such frequency dependence implies that the relationship between the dependent variable and this explanatory variable is nonlinear. Past efforts to detect frequency dependence have not been satisfactory; for example, we note that the two-sided bandpass filtering used in such efforts yields inconsistent estimates of frequency dependence where there is feedback in the relationship. Consequently, we provide an explicit procedure for partitioning an explanatory variable into frequency components using one-sided bandpass filters. This procedure allows us to test for and quantify frequency dependence even where feedback may be present. A distinguishing feature of these new models is their potentially tight connection to macroeconomic theory; indeed, they are perhaps best introduced by reference to the frequency dependence in the marginal propensity to consume posited by the Permanent Income Hypothesis (PIH) of consumption theory. An illustrative empirical application is given, in which the Phillips Curve relationship between inflation and unemployment is found to be negligible at low frequencies, corresponding to periods >= 18 months, but inverse at higher frequencies, just as predicted by Friedman and Phelps in the 1960s.

N2  - This paper examines occupational risk-related costs that influence the following safety decisions of a firm: wage premiums paid to attract workers to risky jobs, insurance payments to injured workers including sick leave and workers' compensation benefits, premiums for workers' compensation insurance, government fines for safety violations and injury-related costs such as workplace disruptions and loss of worker-specific job skills. The small literature on workplace committees and employee financial involvement with the firm's profitability on accident outcomes is also reviewed. This paper also discusses the influence of government, focusing on the regulation of occupational risk through the enactment and enforcement of safety and health standards and the safety mandates of workers' compensation insurance systems. We find broad consensus in the empirical literature that workers and firms respond to economic incentives in making safety decisions. Economic incentives play an important role in occupational risk prevention. Sometimes these incentives improve safety; but, in other cases they have an adverse effect on safety.

AB  - Computer mediated communication (CMC) provides a way of incorporating participant interaction into online environments. Use of such features as discussion forums and chats enhance collaborative work and learning. For many, however, CMC may be an unfamiliar medium. To ensure a successful CMC event, it is essential to adequately prepare participants for CMC. A proposed four step model prepares participants for CMC. The four steps include conducting a needs and population analysis, providing an orientation before the event and shortly after the event begins, and providing continuing support.

N2  - After an upward trend for about 25 years, the income velocity of money in South Africa reversed its course in 1994 and began a steep decline that continues to the present day. Some writers have argued that the change in income velocity is symptomatic of an unstable demand for money. The implication of this argument being that movements in the money supply provide little useful information about medium-to-long-term inflationary developments. We argue otherwise. Our basic premise is that there is a stable demand-for-money function but that the models that have been used to estimate South African money demand are not well specified because they do not include a measure of wealth. Using two empirical methodologies--a co-integrated vector equilibrium correction approach and a time-varying coefficient approach--we find that a demand-for-money function that includes wealth is stable. Consequently, our results suggest that the present practice of the South African Reserve Bank whereby M3 is used as an information variable in the Bank's inflation-targeting framework is well placed.

AB  - Affordability is a vague concept. Bundorf and Pauly [Bundorf, M.K., Pauly, M.V., 2006. Is health insurance affordable for the uninsured? Journal of Health Economics 25 (4), 650–673] address this problem by establishing clear working definitions of affordability, and they use these definitions to estimate the percent of the uninsured who can afford insurance. When they establish their definitions of affordability, they use a microeconomic model that omits essential characteristics of the health insurance market. This comment suggests alternative definitions that better incorporate the structure of the health insurance market, discusses both endogeneity and specification problems that might occur when implementing their econometric model to estimate the fraction of “uninsured afforders,” and then recommends ways to reduce omitted variable bias and endogeneity bias.

AB  - The article presents the authors' opinion on managing applied research in federal employment policy. They say that less rigorous evaluations may suffice for new programs, whereas random assignment evaluations are better suited and most needed for mature employment and training programs. It is suggested that the largest employment programs consisting of bigger budgets and affective for many participants, should be considered for random assignment evaluations.

In the present year, the states enacted a volume of labor-related legislation less than that enacted in 2007 due in part to the fact that only 44 states and the District of Columbia met in regular session during 2008. It also discourses such aspects by state.

N2  - This paper helps close the gap between theory and empirical evidence in the literature on asymmetric employer learning. If an employer's private learning is reflected in a worker's wage and one employer's private information is transmitted to the next when the worker makes a job-to-job transition, then asymmetric employer learning will appear in wage regressions as learning over an employment spell. Extending previous work that assumes all learning takes place publicly, this paper develops wage regressions that test for both asymmetric employer learning and public learning. The empirical results, including tests of alternative explanations, are consistent with asymmetric employer learning's having at least as much of an effect on wages during an employment spell as does public learning. The model developed in this paper illustrates how the story suggested by the empirical work might unfold. It shows that outside firms can profitably compete with a better-informed employer through bidding wars, even when the worker is equally productive in all firms. Furthermore, this competition results in different wages for workers with the same publicly observable characteristics, a result that previous models of asymmetric learning have not produced.

N2  - The Current Population Survey (CPS) has been the source of official labor force statistics for the U.S. since its inception in March 1940. The best-known statistic calculated from CPS data is the unemployment rate. To be classified as unemployed, a person must have had no employment during the survey reference week, been available for work, and made specific efforts to find employment during the 4-week period ending with the reference week. The unemployment rate represents the number unemployed as a percent of the labor force. The unemployment rate has proven to be a reliable indicator of overall labor market conditions and has performed quite well as a business cycle indicator. That does not mean, however, that everyone has been completely satisfied with the official figures. As a result, in the 1970s, a range of unemployment indicators known as U-1 through U-7 was introduced. In 1994, a redesigned CPS was fielded, and some of the survey changes affected series used as inputs in several of the U-1--U-7 measures. Consequently, BLS introduced a new set of "U's" in 1995. The new U-1--U-6 range of alternative measures of labor underutilization offered an updated set of indicators that took advantage of newly collected information in the redesigned survey. This paper summarizes the rationale for the original and current ranges of alternative indicators. The paper also concludes that while the five alternatives to the official unemployment rate in the current U-1--U-6 range may represent varying views of labor resource underutilization, they show very similar patterns of change across the course of the business cycle.

N2  - Time-use surveys collect very detailed information about individuals' activities over a short period of time, typically one day. As a result, a large fraction of observations have values of zero for the time spent in many activities, even for individuals who do the activity on a regular basis. For example, it is safe to assume that all parents do at least some childcare, but a relatively large fraction report no time spent in childcare on their diary day. Because of the large number of zeros Tobit would seem to be the natural approach. However, it is important to recognize that the zeros in time-use data arise from a mismatch between the reference period of the data (the diary day) and the period of interest, which is typically much longer. Thus it is not clear that Tobit is appropriate. In this study, I examine the bias associated with alternative estimation procedures for estimating the marginal effects of covariates on time use. I begin by adapting the infrequency of purchase model, which is typically used to analyze expenditures, to time-diary data and showing that OLS estimates are unbiased. Next, using simulated data, I examine the bias associated with three procedures that are commonly used to analyze time-diary data--Tobit, the Cragg (1971) two-part model, and OLS--under a number of alternative assumptions about the data-generating process. I find that the estimated marginal effects from Tobits are biased and that the extent of the bias varies with the fraction of zero-value observations. The two-part model performs significantly better, but generates biased estimated in certain circumstances. Only OLS generates unbiased estimates in all of the simulations considered here.

N2  - Recent research suggests that working while in high school reduces the amount of time students spend doing homework. However, an additional hour of work leads to a reduction in homework by much less than one hour, suggesting a reduction in other activities. This paper uses data from the 2003-2007 American Time Use Surveys (ATUS) to investigate the effects of market work on the time students spend on homework, sleeping, household work, and screen time. Results show that an increase in paid work reduces time spent in all of these activities by 84%, with the largest effect found for screen time.

N2  - I use data from the American Time Use Survey to examine how maternal employment affects when during the day that mothers of pre-school-age children spend doing enriching childcare and whether they adjust their schedules to spend time with their children at more desirable times of day. I find that employed mothers shift enriching childcare time from workdays to nonwork days. On workdays, full-time employed parents shift enriching childcare time toward evenings, but there is little shifting among part-time employed mothers. I find no evidence that full-time employed mothers adjust their schedules to spent time with their children at more-preferred times of day, whereas part-time employed mothers shift employment to later in the day.

N2  - This paper demonstrates that, in the context of U.S. housing data, rents and ex ante user costs diverge markedly--in both growth rates and levels--for extended periods of time, a seeming failure of arbitrage and a puzzle from the perspective of standard capital theory. The tremendous volatility of even appropriately-smoothed ex ante annual user cost measures implies that such measures are unsuitable for inclusion in official price statistics. The divergence holds not only at the aggregate level, but at the metropolitan-market level as well, and is robust across different house price and rent measures. But transactions costs matter: the large persistent divergences did not imply the presence of unexploited profit opportunities. In particular, even though detached housing is readily moved between owner and renter markets, and the detached-unit rental market is surprisingly thick, transactions costs would have prevented risk-neutral investors from earning expected profits by buying a property to rent out for a year, and would have prevented risk-neutral homeowners from earning expected profits by selling their homes and becoming renters for a year. Finally, computing implied appreciation as a residual yields a house price forecast with huge errors; but either longer-horizon or no-real-capital-gains forecasts--which turn out to have similar forecast errors--imply a far less divergent user cost measure which might ultimately be useful for official price statistics. Some conjectures are offered.

N2  - Production capital and total factor productivity or technology are fundamental to understanding output and productivity growth, but are unobserved except at disaggregated levels and must be estimated before being used in empirical analysis. In this paper, we develop estimates of production capital and technology for U.S. total manufacturing based on an estimated dynamic structural economic model. First, using annual U.S. total manufacturing data for 1947-1997, we estimate by maximum likelihood a dynamic structural economic model of a representative production firm. In the estimation, capital and technology are completely unobserved or latent variables. Then, we apply the Kalman filter to the estimated model and the data to compute estimates of model-based capital and technology for the sample. Finally, we describe and evaluate similarities and differences between the model-based and standard estimates of capital and technology reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

N2  - Previous research (Verbrugge, 2008a) demonstrated that housing rents and ex ante user costs diverge markedly for extended periods of time, a finding with profound implications for income and inflation measurement. But the primary data sources in that study were various indexes, based upon largely disjoint data sources, constructed using different aggregation techniques, and each subject to various criticisms. This raised doubts about the quality of the comparison. The relationship between user costs and rents might well be much tighter at the micro level; after all, house prices and rents (and their growth rates) can vary dramatically within cities, and rents are notoriously sticky. Furthermore, the use of indexes precludes both cross-sectional and dollar cost comparisons. In this study, we use Consumer Expenditure Interview Survey (CE) data to examine the relationship between user costs and rents at the individual unit level, in dollars, using unit-level information on house value, rent, taxes, and the like. This allows us to accurately estimate unit-specific user costs and to control for unobservables like structure and neighborhood quality. We also make the point that in theory, after-tax user costs should equal net rent, i.e., expected rental income, rather than gross rent. Our findings are striking. In keeping with most previous research, we find tremendous divergence between conventional measures of user costs and net rents, thus ruling out index construction errors as a possible explanation. This divergence does not result from a faulty rent measure: we find that reported rents are sensible, in that they move similarly to official rent indexes, and are not simply out-of-pocket expenses. Instead, and most perplexing, we find a surprisingly close correspondence between net rents and a particular estimate of user costs, one implicitly assuming zero transactions costs and constructed using an appreciation measure that is both theoretically suspect and empirically a poor predictor of actual appreciation.

N1  - Accession Number: 1060525; Keywords: Turnover, Fringe Benefits; Publication Type: Working Paper; Update Code: 200909
N2  - It has been argued that one of the functions of fringe benefits is to reduce turnover. However, due to a lack of data, the effect on quits of the marginal dollar of benefits relative to the marginal dollar of wages is an under-researched topic. This paper uses the benefit incidence data in the 1979 Cohort of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY79) and the cost information in the National Compensation Survey to impute benefit costs. The value of imputed benefits is then entered as an explanatory variable in a mobility equation that is estimated using turnover information in the NLSY. We find that the quit rate is much more responsive to fringe benefits than to wages; this is even more the case with total turnover. We also find that benefit costs are correlated with training provision. Due to the high correlation of the costs of individual benefits, it is not possible to disentangle the effects of separate benefits. An interesting feature of the model that we develop for interpreting the strong negative relationship between fringe benefits and turnover is that abstracting from heterogeneity, workers must at the margin place a higher valuation on a dollar of wages than a dollar of benefits since otherwise an employer could profit by switching compensation from wages to fringes. Worker heterogeneity modifies this result and reinforces any causal relationship between fringe benefits and turnover provided that more stable workers have a greater preference for compensation in the form of fringes.

N2  - This paper examines the decision of Hurricane Katrina evacuees to return to their pre-Katrina areas and documents how the composition of the Katrina-affected region changed over time. Using data from the Current Population Survey, we show that an evacuee's age and the severity of damage in an evacuee's county of origin are important determinants of whether an evacuee returned during the first year after the storm. Blacks were less likely to return than whites, but this difference is primarily related to the geographical pattern of storm damage rather than to race per se. The difference between the composition of evacuees who returned and the composition of evacuees who did not return is the primary force behind changes in the composition of the affected areas in the first two years after the storm. Katrina is associated with substantial shifts in the racial composition of the affected areas (namely a decrease in the percentage of residents who are black) and an increasing presence of Hispanics. Katrina is also associated with an increase in the percentage of older residents, a decrease in the percentage of residents with low income/education, and an increase in the percentage of residents with high income/education.

N2  - A variety of evidence points to significant growth in domestic contracting out over the last two decades, yet the phenomenon is not well documented. In this paper, we pull together data from various sources to shed light on the extent of and trends in domestic outsourcing, the occupations in which it has grown, and the industries engaging in outsourcing for the employment services sector, which has been a particularly important area of domestic outsourcing. In addition, we examine evidence of contracting out of selected occupations to other sectors. We point to many gaps in our knowledge on trends in domestic outsourcing and its implications for employment patterns and to inconsistencies across data sets in the information that is available. We recommend steps to improve data in this area.

AB  - Low income, medically underserved communities are at increased risk for tuberculosis. Limited population-based national data are available about tuberculous infection in young people from such backgrounds. To determine the prevalence of a positive tuberculin skin test among economically disadvantaged youth in a federally funded job training program during 1995 and 1996, the authors evaluated data from medical records of 22,565 randomly selected students from over 100 job training centers throughout the United States. An estimated 5.6% of students had a documented positive skin test or history of active tuberculosis. Rates were highest among those who were racial/ethnic minorities, foreign born, and (among foreign-born students) older in age (p < 0.001). Weighted rates (adjusting for sampling) were 1.3% for white, 2.2% for Native American, 4.0% for black, 9.6% for Hispanic, and 40.7% for Asian/Pacific Islander students; rates were 2.4% for US-born and 32.7% for foreign-born students. Differences by geographic region of residence were not significant after adjusting for other demographic factors. Tuberculin screening of socioeconomically disadvantaged youth such as evaluated in this study provides important sentinel surveillance data concerning groups at risk for tuberculous infection and allows recommended public health interventions to be offered.

The combination of paid-leave benefits for attending to illness or injury is considered illness leave while combination of paid-leave benefits for pursuing leisure is considered leisure leave. Sick leave benefits provide paid time off when an employee cannot work due to illness or injury while vacations are time off from work to provide extended rest and personal leave allows an employee to be paid while absent from work while not covered by other leave plans. Disability benefit plans are viewed by employers as complementary to other forms of illness coverage.

The data provided in the article could be used to examine components of supplemental pay across a larger range of occupational categories. It discusses supplemental pay as a percent of cash compensation and reveals the fact that supplemental pay is more closely related to salaries than any other benefits.

N2  - This paper develops an empirical occupational choice model that corrects for misclassification in occupational choices and measurement error in occupation-specific work experience. The model is used to estimate the extent of measurement error in occupation data and quantify the bias that results from ignoring measurement error in occupation codes when studying the determinants of occupational choices and estimating the effects of occupation-specific human capital on wages. The parameter estimates reveal that 9 percent of occupational choices in the 1979 cohort of the NLSY are misclassified. Ignoring misclassification leads to biases that affect the conclusions drawn from empirical occupational choice models.

In comparison to the previous two employment contractions, the job losses were more widespread and severe. Job losses or weakened employment growth in 2007, followed by a worsening employment picture during 2008 were seen in manufacturing, construction, financial activities, and professional and business services.

AB  - In the wake of Wal-Mart and other mass merchandisers’ entry into food retailing, the nature of competition in the industry has changed radically. Using longitudinal data on workers and firms to construct measures of compensation and churning for traditional food retailers, this paper examines how these measures change in response to mass merchandiser entry. While there is considerable heterogeneity across retail food establishments, human resource practices are persistent even in the face of new external competition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - We examine whether the importance of lagged inflation in the New Keynesian Phillips Curve (NKPC) may be a result of specification biases. NKPCs are estimated for four countries: France, Germany, Italy, and the United Kingdom. Using time-varying coefficient (TVC) estimation, a procedure that can deal with possible specification biases, we find support for the NKPC model that excludes lagged inflation. Our results indicate a Phillips-curve relationship for the countries considered that does not contain an inertial element. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Fourth-order multi-step perturbation (MSP) is described and applied as a general method for numerically solving nonlinear, differentiable, algebraic equations which are first-order conditions of economic optimization problems. MSP is first described at a general level and is, then, applied to estimating production-function models, using annual US total manufacturing KLEMS data from 1949 to 2001. The application continues by comparing total factor productivity based on the best estimated model with standard Solow-residual productivity. The optimization problem is the classic firm problem of maximizing output for a given production function, given input prices, and a given cost of inputs. If started sufficiently closely to the correct solution, usual iterative methods, such as quasi-Newton methods, can quickly compute accurate solutions of such problems. However, finding good starting points can be difficult, especially in high-dimensional problems. By contrast, MSP automatically provides a good starting point and iterates a finite number of times over preset steps so that, unlike in usual iterative methods, convergence or divergence is not an issue. Although, as in any numerical method, MSP accuracy is limited by the problem’s condition and floating-point accuracy, in practice, at least as implemented here, MSP can quickly compute solutions of nearly single-precision or higher accuracy.

AB  - Abstract: A fruitful method of pooling data from disparate sources, such as a set of sample surveys, is developed. This method proceeds by finding the first two moments of two conditional distributions derived from a joint distribution of two sample estimators of employment for each of several geographical areas. The nature of the two estimators is such that one of them can yield a better estimate of national employment than the other. The regression of the former estimator on the latter estimator with stochastic intercept and slope is used to generate an improved estimator that is equal to bias- and error-corrected estimator for each area with probability 1. This analysis is extended to cases where more than two estimates of employment are available for each area. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - The article discusses and compares estimates of the job skills returns based on the Current Population Survey (CPS) data for the years 2003 and 2004 to estimates for the same time period based on the Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) data. While both of the surveys provide data on employment and wages for nonagricultural wage and salary workers, the authors use only the data available for the private sector wage and salary jobs. How the data is collected from both the CPS and the OES surveys are explored. How the different job activities for which the researchers have information on are related to earnings are discussed.

N2  - The paper provides new evidence on the causal relationship between money and price for the euro area using quarterly data for the period 1980 to 2006, employing two alternative methods of estimation: the vector error correction (VEC) and time-varying coefficient (TVC) estimation techniques. The latter technique has the advantage over the former technique in that it can deal with possible specification biases and spurious relationships that may have arisen from structural changes. The empirical results from the VEC method reveal a bidirectional causal relationship between money and prices. The results from the TVC technique suggest that money is acting as an exogenous process determining the price level.

AB  - Abstract: Production capital and total factor productivity or technology are fundamental to understanding output and productivity growth, but are unobserved except at disaggregated levels and must be estimated before being used in empirical analysis. In this paper, we develop estimates of production capital and technology for U.S. total manufacturing based on an estimated dynamic structural economic model. First, using annual U.S. total manufacturing data for 1947–1997, we estimate by maximum likelihood a dynamic structural economic model of a representative production firm. In the estimation, capital and technology are completely unobserved or latent variables. Then, we apply the Kalman filter to the estimated model and the data to compute estimates of model-based capital and technology for the sample. Finally, we describe and evaluate similarities and differences between the model-based and standard estimates of capital and technology reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

AB  - The article focuses on the U.S. National Compensation Survey (NCS)'s modification of its methodology for imputing benefits data for March 2009. The methodology was modified as prior methods allowed for imputed data errors to be carried forward from one quarter to the next. It describes the changes in the NCS imputation methodology which has been applied to the benefits data from the March 2009 quarter, and discusses why the change is necessary.

AB  - The article focuses on the alternatives to frozen defined benefit pension plans being offered to employees by the U.S. employers. These alternatives include new defined benefit plans, new defined contribution plans, or enhanced existing defined contribution plans. It informs that the migration in pension plans is expected have major negative implications for those workers in the later stages of their career, where plan contributions may be at their highest.

AB  - This article compares data from the Current Population Survey (CPS) with time-diary data in the American Time Use Survey (ATUS). The researchers seek to determine whether information from these surveys replicates the findings of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Current Employment Statistics (CES) Survey. The authors are interested in this data because it indicates the potential role of second jobs in economic production. Researchers combine CES data with CPS data to form the basis for economic productivity statistics. The researchers believe that second jobs are overestimated by CPS data.

AB  - Recent research has generally found that working while in high school has small negative effects on student achievement. However, little research has been done to examine the mechanisms through which these negative effects occur. One plausible mechanism is the crowding out of study time by market work time. To examine this mechanism we use 2003–2006 data from the American Time Use Survey (ATUS) to estimate a simultaneous Tobit model that allows for time spent in market work and homework to be jointly determined, using controls for unobserved person-specific factors (such as motivation) that affect students’ desires to both work and do homework. It also accounts for censoring in the data. Results from this model suggest that time spent in market work does crowd out time spent on homework. The survey also collects household roster and demographic information and is matched to Current Population Survey (CPS) household data. Using ATUS time-diary data, we find that an increase of 30 min in paid work per weekday reduces the amount of time a student spends on homework by over 7 min per day, evidence that students’ time constraints on weekdays are binding. On weekend days, the effect is smaller, with an extra 30 min of paid work reducing the amount of time a student spends on homework by less than 2 min. These negative effects of paid work on homework may at least partially explain the negative relationship between market work and academic achievement found by others, to the extent that reduced homework time reduces academic achievement. On both weekdays and weekends, the effects in the opposite direction are even stronger, with an increase in homework time of 30 min reducing the amount of time a student spends doing paid work by roughly 15 min.

AB  - We estimate the covariance between the permanent component of wages and a random coefficient on experience in models both with potential experience and with actual experience. Actual experience is allowed to be arbitrarily correlated with both the permanent component of wages and the random component on experience. We find no evidence that workers of higher ability experience faster wage growth. Our point estimates suggest that a worker with a one standard deviation higher level of permanent ability would have a return to annual potential experience that is 0.61 of a percentage point lower. The analogous point estimate for actual experience is 0.87 of a point lower. Contrary to the popular perception, wage growth among low-skill workers appears to be at least as high as that for a medium-skilled worker. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

AB  - Abstract: Previous research [Verbrugge, Randal, 2008a. The puzzling divergence of aggregate rents and user costs, 1980–2004. The Review of Income and Wealth 54(4), 671–699] demonstrated that housing rents and ex ante user costs diverge markedly for extended periods of time, a finding with profound implications for income and inflation measurement. But the primary data sources in that study were various indexes, based upon largely disjoint data sources, constructed using different aggregation techniques, and each subject to various criticisms. This raised doubts about the quality of the comparison. The relationship between user costs and rents might well be much tighter at the micro level; after all, house prices and rents (and their growth rates) can vary dramatically within cities, and rents are notoriously sticky. Furthermore, the use of indexes precludes both cross-sectional and dollar cost comparisons. In this study, we use Consumer Expenditure Interview Survey (CE) data to examine the relationship between user costs and rents at the individual unit-level, in dollars, using unit-level information on house value, rent, taxes, and the like. This allows us to accurately estimate unit-specific user costs and to control for unobservables like structure and neighborhood quality. We also make the point that in theory, after-tax user costs should equal net rent, i.e., expected rental income, rather than gross rent. Our findings are striking. In keeping with most previous research, we find tremendous divergence between conventional measures of user costs and net rents, thus ruling out index construction errors as a possible explanation. This divergence does not result from a faulty rent measure: we find that reported rents are sensible, in that they move similarly to official rent indexes, and are not simply out-of-pocket expenses. Instead, and most perplexing, we find a surprisingly close correspondence between net rents and a particular estimate of user costs, one implicitly assuming zero transactions costs and constructed using an appreciation measure that is both theoretically suspect and empirically a poor predictor of actual appreciation.

AB  - Abstract: Research linking macro and micro statistics of dwelling services is in its infancy in the U.S. including work by the Bureau of Economic Analysis, Bureau of Labor Statistics, and the Census Bureau. Comparisons of aggregated estimates generated from micro-level data to estimates at the macro-level can inform both levels on the accuracy and precision of methods and data sources. In this study, the treatments of housing in the macro statistics of the National Accounts and in the micro statistics of household expenditure and income surveys are examined. Three approaches to value dwelling services using household survey data are compared: capitalization rate, hedonic, and rental equivalence. Estimates are produced using data from the U.S. Consumer Expenditure Survey and American Housing Survey. Estimated aggregates of implicit net rental income from owner-occupied housing are compared to the aggregate value in the National Accounts. Possible sources of differences in the macro- and micro-based aggregates are discussed. The effects of adding net implicit rental income on income distributions are examined, particularly on inferences about the relative well-being by the age of householder. Overall, only marginal reductions in income equality result when net rental incomes are added to before tax money income; this only occurs when reported rental equivalence and return to home equity are used as methods of rent estimation.

N2  - Using a multivariate framework, we analyze trends in employer provision of retiree health insurance (RHI), eligibility for new retirees, and retiree contributions. Data come for the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey--Insurance Component (MEPS-IC). While RHI provision to existing retirees decreased, eligibility for new retirees declined even more. Contribution requirements increased between 2000 and 2006 for retirees not yet eligible for Medicare (less than 65 years of age), but remained stable for those who were eligible (65 years of age or older). These results suggest growing financial instability for retirees.

AB  - Are today's retirees following in the footsteps of their older peers with respect to gradual retirement? Recent evidence from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) suggests that most older Americans with full-time career jobs late in life moved to other jobs prior to complete labor force withdrawal. The authors explored the retirement patterns of two cohorts of individuals from the HRS. One group (the war babies) was born between 1942 and 1947 and therefore aged 59 to 64 years at the time of their fifth biennial HRS interviews in 2006. The others (the original HRS respondents) were aged 59 to 64 in 2000 and therefore 6 years older. The war babies have followed the gradual-retirement trends of their predecessors. Traditional one-step retirement appears to be fading as the effects of changes in the retirement environment continue to unfold.

AB  - Abstract: In an attempt to increase applications from low-income students, some selective 4-year colleges are developing programs to target and attract low-income students. However, relatively little research has looked at factors important in the college application process, and in particular, how these factors differ for low-income students. This paper uses data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 (NLSY97) to analyze factors influencing students’ college application decisions, with a focus on the decision to apply to a selective 4-year college. We hypothesize that distance from a student''s home to selective colleges may play a role in the application decision and differentially impact low-income students. Our results suggest that distance does matter, although the effects do not vary by family income level. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Despite a reduced level of job activity, as reflected by gross gains and losses, Manhattan enjoyed above-average growth just prior to the recession beginning in December 2007; the financial sector, characterized by a deceleration in job creation along with strong wage escalation, provides a unique vantage point for examining the dynamics of employment growth at the local level [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The authors present recommendations for graduate humanities programs to improve retention and graduation rates based on their research. They note that graduate students who are generously supported are more likely to finish in a timely manner, but that institutions should monitor students' progress during multi-year grants. They recommend providing students with specific timetables for finishing all aspects of their work. They see the period after completion of coursework which is devoted to the dissertation as a prime time for attrition, and say more thought is needed to avoid attrition during this period. They note that time to degree and attrition are often conflicting factors, but also that raising awareness of all factors results in favorable changes.

AB  - As early as 1976, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) methods for analyzing metal samples collected using 37-mm polystyrene closed-face cassettes specified that any loose dust be transferred from the cassette to the digestion vessel, that the cassette be rinsed, and that, if necessary, the cassette be wiped out to help ensure that all particles that enter the cassette are included along with the filter as part of the sample for analysis. OSHA analytical methods for metal analysis were recently revised to explicitly require cassette wiping for all metal samples. This change was based on policy that any material entering the collection device constitutes part of the sample and on OSHA Salt Lake Technical Center research showing that invisible residue on the cassette walls can significantly contribute to the total sample results reported. OSHA procedures are consistent with guidance given in the NIOSH Manual of Analytical Methods. This guidance concludes that internal deposits in sampling cassettes should be included in the analysis and that one way to accomplish this would be to wipe or wash the internal surfaces of the cassette and include the material along with the filter for analysis.

N2  - The Consumer Price Index (CPI) has often been the subject of controversy. Historically, the most prominent critics have argued that the CPI overstates changes in the cost of living. Recently, however, some in the investment community and business media have argued that the CPI is an underestimate of inflation. Some have accused the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) not only of errors but also of willfully misrepresenting price change. These arguments have not been addressed to the BLS directly, and in many cases, they reflect serious misunderstandings about how the BLS produces the CPI. In this article, we address each of the key issues in turn.

AB  - The article focuses on the methodology introduced by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics for calculating fatality rates in its Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI). It reports that earlier the fatality rates were calculated only on the basis of employment and the BLS suggested the calculation of hours-based rates combining the number of injuries and the time in which workers are exposed to dangers. It also gives an overview of the benefits of hours-based over employment-based rates.

AB  - Using sportscard grading as an example, we employ field experiments to investigate the informational role of professional certifiers. Empirical results suggest three patterns: first, the grading certification provided by the first professional certifier offers new information to inexperienced traders but adds little information to experienced dealers. This implies that the certification may reduce the information asymmetry between informed and uninformed parties. Second, compared with the incumbent, new entrants adopt more precise signals and use finer grading cutoffs to differentiate from the incumbent. Third, our measured differentiated grading cutoffs map consistently into prevailing market prices, suggesting that the market recognizes differences across multiple grading criteria.

AB  - Displaced populations are as old as conflict itself, but only in the last century or so have enormously destructive wars uprooted entire nations, changing the political and social position of refugees. Africa's position in the current global refugee crisis stems from the political upheavals surrounding decolonization, the Cold War, and the trauma of democratization and its failure in the 1990s. Entire communities may fester in refugee camps with squalid conditions or live a transient, insecure life in rapidly urbanizing cities. The prospects for these refugees to return home depends in part on political calculations by government elites. Many serious refugee crises remain unsolved because of the important political stakes certain actors hold. Indeed, many of the greatest successes of international humanitarian relief efforts depended heavily on the participation of key political, economic, and military interests. Africa has suffered from some of the most destructive internal conflicts in the world in part because resource constraints and poorly established democratic systems have contributed to the weakness and ineffectiveness of many African states. The traditional wisdom concerning refugees is that they are 'pushed' out of their countries by persecution, civil strife, or famine, while economic migrants are 'pulled' in favor of better economic opportunities, education, or employment. This view is inevitably reductionist; the reality of migration patterns in Africa is much more complex. Despite the crippling effects of mass migration movements, the refugee situation in Africa is considerably more positive than it was in the 1990s.

AB  - Important theoretical questions in survey research over the past 50 years have been: How does bringing in late or reluctant respondents affect total survey error? Does the effort and expense of obtaining interviews from difficult-to-contact or reluctant respondents significantly decrease the nonresponse error of survey estimates? Or do these late respondents introduce enough measurement error to offset any reductions in nonresponse bias? This study attempts to address these questions by examining nonresponse and data quality in two national household surveys: the Current Population Survey (CPS) and the American Time Use Survey (ATUS). Response propensity models were developed for each survey, and data quality in each survey was assessed by a variety of indirect indicators of response error, for example, item-missing-data rates, round value reports, and interview-reinterview response inconsistencies. The principal analyses investigated the relationship between response propensity and the data-quality indicators in each survey, and examined the effects of potential common causal factors when there was evidence of covariation. Although the strength of the relationship varied by indicator and survey, data quality decreased for some indicators as the probability of nonresponse increased. Therefore, the direct implication for survey managers is that efforts to reduce nonresponse can lead to poorer-quality data. Moreover, these effects remain even after attempts to control for potential common causal factors. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)

N2  - There is a long standing interest in the question of whether or not low income households face the same prices as households with higher incomes. If low income households face lower or higher prices than high income households, then income inequality may be greater or lesser than is suggested by simple comparisons of incomes. Summarized in Sexton (1971), studies generally found either no difference in prices paid, or that the poor paid more for similar goods. In this paper we use data from the Telephone Point of Purchase Survey (TPOPS), previously unused for this subject, which collects information about household expenditures at outlets they patronize. In 2001, respondents were also asked a question about their income. Combining data from that survey with price data from the CPI Research Database (RDB), we compare prices charged at outlets patronized by families in each of three income categories, and calculate differences in expenditure weighted average prices. We also use detailed information in the RDB about the characteristics of each item being priced to adjust for possible differences in the quality of items sold. Overall, we find that the poor pay neither more nor less than the rich at the stores at which they shop.

N2  - To what extent do older Americans re-enter the labor force after an initial exit and what drives these "unretirement" decisions? Retirement for most older Americans with full-time career jobs is not a one-time, permanent event. Labor force exit is more likely to be a process. Prior studies have found that between one half and two thirds of career workers take at least one other job before exiting from the labor force completely. The transitional nature of retirement may be even more pronounced when considering the impact of re-entry. This paper examines the extent to which older Americans with career jobs re-entered the labor force. The analysis is based on data from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS), an ongoing, longitudinal survey of older Americans that began in 1992. We examined the retirement patterns of a subset of 5,617 HRS respondents who were on a full-time career job at the time of the first interview. Logistic regression was used to explore determinants of re-entry among those who initially exited the labor force. We found that approximately 15 percent of older Americans with career jobs returned to the labor force after initially exiting. Respondents were more likely to re-enter if they were younger, were in better health, or had a defined-contribution pension plan. This research provides empirical evidence of how older Americans are utilizing bridge jobs as they transition from career employment, and that re-entry may be an important part of the work experience of older Americans.

N2  - Time-use researchers are typically interested in the time use of individuals, but time use data are samples of person-days. Given day-to-day variation in how people spend their time, this distinction is analytically important. We examine the conditions necessary to make inferences about the time use of individuals from a sample of person-days. We also discuss whether and how surveys with multiple household members or multiple days are an improvement over single-diary surveys.

N2  - Hours worked is an important economic indicator. In addition to being a measure of labor utilization, average weekly hours are inputs into measures of productivity and hourly wages, which are two key economic indicators. However, the Bureau of Labor Statistics' two hours series tell very different stories. Between 1973 and 2007 average weekly hours estimated from the BLS's household survey (the Current Population Survey or CPS) indicate that average weekly hours of nonagricultural wage and salary workers decreased slightly from 39.5 to 39.3. In contrast, average hours estimated from the establishment survey (the Current Employment Statistics survey or CES) indicate that hours fell from 36.9 to 33.8 hours per week. Thus the discrepancy between the two surveys increased from about two-and-a-half hours per week to about five-and-a-half hours. Our goal in the current study is to reconcile the differences between the CPS and CES estimates of hours worked and to better understand what these surveys are measuring. We examine a number of possible explanations for the divergence of the two series: differences in workers covered, multiple jobholding, differences in the hours concept (hours worked vs. hours paid), possible overreporting of hours in CPS, and changes in the length of CES pay periods. We can explain most of the difference in levels, but cannot explain the divergent trends.

N2  - This research compares median-based thresholds with ones based on the 33rd percentile using Consumer Expenditure Interview Survey (CE) data from 2004 quarter one through 2009 quarter one. Thresholds for reference families are produced using two different approaches: (1) calculating the thresholds based on the expenditure records of reference families composed of two adults with two children; and (2) calculating the thresholds using expenditures from all consumer units participating in the CE, but first converting their expenditures into adult equivalent value using the three-parameter equivalence scale before identifying the median and percentile values. Different updating mechanisms examined include: (1) an annual recalculation of the 33rd percentile of the reference family's outlays on FCSU, and (2) changes in the reference family's median spending or consumption based on needs. Thresholds, based on spending and consumption concepts to value needs for food, clothing, shelter, and utilities (FCSU), are produced.

N2  - Many studies of labor force withdrawal patterns have focused on individuals who have had career jobs. This paper compares the demographic and economic characteristics of individuals who have never had a full-time career (FTC) job with those who have, and compares the timing and types of job switches that both groups make later in life. The comparison between non-FTC and FTC individuals is important because decisions by policymakers based on the existing retirement literature may have unintended consequences for individuals with only a series of short-duration jobs. We use a sample of respondents from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) who have worked since age 50, and stratify respondents according to whether an individual has ever had a job that consists of 1,600 or more hours per year and lasts for at least ten years (i.e., a full-time career job). We find that individuals without FTC jobs are a heterogeneous group, representing individuals in many wage and occupational categories. Not surprisingly, we also find that individuals without FTC jobs are less likely than those with FTC jobs to be working in subsequent survey years. However, we find that the labor force withdrawal patterns of non-FTC individuals are similar to those of FTC individuals in many respects. In particular, individuals without FTC jobs change jobs later in life just as frequently as those with FTC jobs. Switching rates between wage-and-salary employment to self-employment and between white-collar and blue-collar jobs are largely similar by FTC status, as are reductions in wages later in life. Overall, the findings reveal that the work decisions later in life of individuals who have never had career employment are diverse, just as they are for individuals with career jobs.

N2  - This study offers new evidence on the effects of the matching contributions made by employers to 401(k) plan accounts on plan participation rates, exploiting microdata from the National Compensation Survey, a large, nationally representative, establishment dataset. It addresses the potential endogeneity of the matching contributions by employing coworker and labor market characteristics as instruments. The results indicate that employer matches have substantial effects. They also indicate that higher match rates tend to be correlated with workers having lower propensities to save; correcting for this endogeneity produces estimates that are bigger than those seen through direct cross-sectional comparisons.

N2  - This paper studies the joint dynamics of real house prices and rents over the past decade. We build a dynamic general equilibrium stochastic life cycle model of housing tenure choice with fully specified markets for homeownership and rental properties, and endogenous house prices and rents. Houses are modeled as discrete-size durable goods which provide shelter services, confer access to collateralized borrowing, provide sizeable tax advantages, and generate rental income for homeowners who choose to become landlords. Mortgages are available, but home-buyers must satisfy a minimum down payment requirement, and home sales and purchases are subject to lumpy adjustment costs. Lower interest rates, relaxed lending standards, and higher incomes are shown to account for over one-half of the increase in the U.S. house price-rent ratio between 1995 and 2005, and to generate the pattern of rapidly growing house prices, sluggish rents, increasing homeownership, and rising household indebtedness observed in the data. The model highlights the importance of accounting for equilibrium interactions between the markets for owned and rented property when analyzing the housing market. These general equilibrium effects can either magnify or reverse the partial equilibrium effects of changes in fundamentals on house prices, rents, and homeownership.

N2  - This article examines career choices using a dynamic structural model that nests a job search model within a human capital model of occupational and educational choices. Wage growth occurs in the model because workers move between firms and occupations as they search for suitable job matches and because workers endogenously accumulate firm and occupation specific human capital. Simulations performed using the estimated model reveal that both self-selection in occupational choices and mobility between firms account for a much larger share of total earnings and utility than the combined effects of firm and occupation specific human capital.

AB  - Using nationally representative data from the NLSY97 and a simultaneous equations model, this paper analyzes the financial motivations for and the effects of employment on U.S. college students’ academic performance. The data confirm the predictions of the theoretical model that lower parental transfers and greater costs of attending college increase the number of hours students work while in school, although students are not very responsive to these financial motivations. They also provide some evidence that greater hours of work lead to lower grade point averages (GPAs). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - This study uses panel data on Canadian establishments to explore the relationship between the organization of work--in particular decentralization, information-sharing, and incentive pay schemes--and innovation. Like other studies, ours finds a clear positive link between these factors. However, the data give strong indications that this relationship is not causal. We show that: (1) the correlation between workplace organization and innovation holds for information-sharing but is much weaker for decentralized decision-making or incentive pay programs, (2) controls for unobserved heterogeneity significantly weaken results, and (3) lagged variables give no clear evidence that organizational changes predate innovation.

N2  - Many scientific, sociological, and economic applications present data that are collected on multiple scales of resolution. One particular form of multiscale data arises when data are aggregated across different scales both longitudinally and by economic sector. Frequently, such datasets experience missing observations in a manner that they can be accurately imputed, while respecting the constraints imposed by the multiscale nature of the data, using the method we propose known as Bayesian multiscale multiple imputation. Our approach couples dynamic linear models with a novel imputation step based on singular normal distribution theory. Although our method is of independent interest, one important implication of such methodology is its potential effect on confidential databases protected by means of cell suppression. In order to demonstrate the proposed methodology and to assess the effectiveness of disclosure practices in longitudinal databases, we conduct a large-scale empirical study using the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW). During the course of our empirical investigation it is determined that several of the predicted cells are within 1% accuracy, thus causing potential concerns for data confidentiality.

N2  - This paper presents instrumental variables estimates of the effects of firm tenure, occupation specific work experience, industry specific work experience, and general work experience on wages using data from the 1979 Cohort of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. The estimates indicate that both occupation and industry specific human capital are key determinants of wages, and the importance of various types of human capital varies widely across one-digit occupations. Human capital is primarily occupation specific in occupations such as craftsmen, where workers realize a 14% increase in wages after five years of occupation specific experience but do not realize wage gains from industry specific experience. In contrast, human capital is primarily industry specific in other occupations such as managerial employment where workers realize a 23% wage increase after five years of industry specific work experience. In other occupations, such as professional employment, both occupation and industry specific human capital are key determinants of wages.

AB  - The poverty measure presented compares spending needs to resources available to meet those needs. The analysis is for the U.S.; however, lessons from other countries regarding desirable properties of a poverty measure are considered. A primary focus is internal consistency between thresholds and resources. This study is among the first for the U.S. to describe an internally consistent poverty measure, drawing from recommendations of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences (NAS). Thresholds reflect spending needs as “outflows.” Resources measure “inflows” available to meet spending needs. The U.S. Consumer Expenditure Survey is used for thresholds, and the Current Population Survey is the basis for resources. Trends are reported with comparisons to the official and a relative measure. An important finding is that increases in expenditures for shelter, captured in the NAS thresholds, suggest a greater increase in the number of families not able to meet basic needs than is reflected by official poverty statistics over this time period.

The data reveal that 18-54-year-old recent male nonveterans and male veterans and had similar unemployment rates in 2009 while recent female veterans had higher unemployment rate than female nonveterans. It examines the labor force activity, earnings, and demographic characteristics of recent nonveterans and veterans in 2009. It says that nearly 84 percent of 18-year-old and above Gulf War-period II veterans and 68.3 percent nonveterans joined the labor force. It mentions that the earnings difference between them was little. It adds that their demographic characteristics were different in various ways including ethnicity, age, and sex.

AB  - The article presents an update for seasonal adjustment procedures of Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) in producer price index (PPI) and consumer price index (CPI) series in the U.S. It states that the variance in seasonal factors of the indexes for gasoline caused by methodological differences has induced inequalities between PPI and CPI. It mentions that due to these disparities, various transitions in the methodology were implemented to establish intervention models and characterize the time series of PPI and CPI. It notes that commodity analysts used the intervention models in attempt to obtain a consensus regarding the optimal intervention model. Moreover, several tables are presented that show the changes in PPI and CPI indexes in 2006 and 2007.

It says that in 2009, a total of 7.3 million workers had two or more jobs and the rate of multiple jobholding was 5.2 percent. It mentions that moonlighting among the major demographic groups has become rarer in recent years than during the 1990s. Several studies discovered that the rate of multiple jobholding moved in procyclical manner, declining at times of recessions when jobs were hard to find and increasing during economic development when employment was strong. Surveys have shown that the main reasons for multiple jobholding are economic factors. Also, it presents an overview on the nature of multiple jobholders.

AB  - Abstract: We introduce a model of endogenous growth that is driven by the augmentation of a stock of information generated as a by-product of household consumption activities. We distinguish human capital that is generated through use of stocks of information in home activities from human capital that is the result of formal education and on-the-job training. The growth rate in our model is determined via a preference measure unrelated to the rate of time preference. Our model can generate persistence in growth rates, nonergodic growth, and persistent inequality. Empirical results we report operationalize the preference measure and demonstrate its relationship to demand for information-intense print media in personal consumption. We also demonstrate a relationship between an estimate of the household stock of information cumulated from information-intense print media and labor productivity. Directions for further consideration of growth implications of personal consumption activities are noted. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Many studies have found that women decrease their labor supply upon marriage and increase their labor supply upon divorce. This paper examines whether that pattern varies depending on whether the marriage is a first or higher-order one using data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics for the years 1979 through 2001. The combination of a greater expected probability that a remarriage will end and the failure of household production to bring returns upon the end of a previous marriage may make women less likely to reduce their labor supply in second or higher marriages as compared to a first marriage. The results differ for the intensive and extensive margins of labor supply. With one exception, after controlling for background characteristics, the estimates imply that the probability of working is related to marriage in a similar manner regardless of whether the marriage is a first or a remarriage. In contrast, the estimates provide support for the possibility that decreases in hours of work upon marriage are smaller in second and higher marriages as compared to first marriages.

N2  - The author analyzes employment contract and labor demand models of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) overtime pay regulation to determine their effects on employers' labor costs. Using National Compensation Survey (NCS) data to obtain a representative sample of U.S. private-industry jobs, he assesses each model's ability to predict either the adjustment of wage rates if overtime is warranted (the employment contract model) or the probability of using overtime to meet labor demands (labor demand model). Using quasi-fixed employment costs as independent variables allows for a better accounting of labor demand. He finds that lower wages go hand-in-hand with jobs requiring more overtime work, which indicates that overtime pay regulation influences the structure of compensation.

N2  - The author investigates how maternal employment affects when during the day that employed mothers engage in enriching childcare and whether they adjust their work schedules to spend time with their children at more-desirable times of day. Using data from the American Time Use Survey and focusing on mothers of pre-school-aged children, he finds that both full- and part-time employed mothers shift enriching childcare time from workdays to non-workdays. On workdays, full-time employed mothers shift enriching care time to evenings, whereas part-time employed mothers shift care time very little. The author finds no evidence that mothers working full time adjust their work schedules to spend enriching time with their children at more preferred times of the day. In contrast, part-time employed mothers shift their work hours to later in the day in order to spend time with their children at more-desirable times of day.

N2  - This article examines the decision of Hurricane Katrina evacuees to return to their pre-Katrina areas and documents how the composition of the Katrina-affected region changed over time. Using data from the Current Population Survey, we show that an evacuee's age, family income, and the severity of damage in an evacuee's county of origin are important determinants of whether an evacuee returned during the first year after the storm. Blacks were less likely to return than whites, but this difference is primarily related to the geographical pattern of storm damage rather than to race per se. The difference between the composition of evacuees who returned and the composition of evacuees who did not return is the primary force behind changes in the composition of the affected areas in the first two years after the storm. Katrina is associated with substantial shifts in the racial composition of the affected areas (namely, a decrease in the percentage of residents who are black) and an increasing presence of Hispanics. Katrina is also associated with an increase in the percentage of older residents, a decrease in the percentage of residents with low income/education, and an increase in the percentage of residents with high income/education.

N2  - In 2002, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) introduced a supplemental C-CPI-U employing a superlative formula to provide a closer approximation to a cost-of-living index (COLI). This paper focuses on whether the BLS can improve upon the headline CPI-U's current biennial weight update process, thereby reducing the CPI-U's growth rate and bringing the index closer to the C-CPI-U. We begin by estimating superlative price indexes for 1999 through 2007 along with indexes based on the constant-elasticity-of-substitution demand model. Our analyses confirm that the consumer expenditure data underlying the CPI imply substantial consumer substitution, implying that the CPI-U's Lowe index formula yields higher inflation estimates than would a true COLI. Simulating feasible weight update processes, we find that a Lowe index with two-year weight reference periods but annual updating rises by about 0.03 percentage points less per year than the CPI-U. Another 0.01 percentage point on average is subtracted by imposing annual revision with one-year base periods. Thus, indexes with more timely weights may offer improved representation of current price change, as well as closer approximations to a COLI.

AB  - Economists have long recognized that occupations can be used as proxies for skills in wage regressions. Yet the potential existence of non-market factors such as discrimination and occupational choice (sorting) on the basis of job attributes that are separate from, but potentially correlated with, wages makes occupations an imperfect control for skills. In this paper, we consider whether inter-occupational wage differentials that are unexplained by measured human capital are indeed due to differences in unmeasured skill. Using the National Compensation Survey, a large, nationally-representative dataset on jobs and ten different components of job requirements, we compare the effects on residual wage variation of including occupation indicators and these skill requirements measures. We find that although these skill requirements vary across 3-digit occupations, occupation indicators decrease wage residuals by far more than can be explained by skill alone. This indicates that 'controlling for occupation' does not equate to controlling for only these skill measures, but also for other factors. Additionally, we find that there is considerable within-occupation variation in skill requirements, and that the amount of variation is not constant across skill levels. As a result, including occupation indicators in a wage model introduces heteroskedasticity that must be accounted for. We suggest that caution be applied when using and interpreting occupation indicators as controls in wage regressions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - U.S. rent inflation has often greatly exceeded Owners' Equivalent Rent (OER) Inflation. Why? Critics believe that the Bureau of Labor Statistics is making a faulty utilities adjustment to OER and that the Federal Reserve Board should focus only on rent inflation. Both beliefs are misguided. Herein we decompose the historical Rent-OER inflation differential into its various determinants. The utilities adjustment, which is necessary, sometimes contributed, but is no smoking gun. The main culprit was an economically interesting pattern of differential rent inflation across locales within cities, one common to many cities. Surprisingly, rent control also played a role.

AB  - Do public insurance programs crowd out private savings? I examine the relationship between Medicaid and wealth and make a contribution to the literature on this issue in two primary ways. First, I apply the instrumental-variables approach developed by Gruber and Yelowitz (1999) to a different dataset, the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, 1979 (NLSY79), while at the same time examining an alternative instrument. The results turn out to differ depending on the instrument and, for one of the instruments, to be sensitive to assumptions needed to identify Medicaid's effects. Second, I make use of the SIPP data employed by Gruber and Yelowitz themselves, and examine the sensitivity of their conclusions to omitted factors that may be related to both Medicaid eligibility and to wealth accumulation. While more robust than the results using the NLSY79, the SIPP estimates are found to depend both on the sample used and on certain specification restrictions. Taken together, the results suggest caution in making inferences about the impact of Medicaid on wealth. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - The owned home is often the largest asset in a household's portfolio. To maintain its value, the home requires continual reinvestment, and a homeowner can increase its value through renovations and additions. Empirical research on these home maintenance and investment decisions of the household has relied almost exclusively on the American Housing Survey (AHS). The research presented in this article added a new data set to this literature, the Consumer Expenditure (CE) Survey, using quarterly household data from 1984 to the first quarter of 2005. In the article, we first compare results between the AHS and CE Survey using some stylized facts identified in the literature. Then we move beyond this comparison and highlight some strengths of the CE Survey, including the distinct time-series patterns observed in the quarterly data.

N2  - The authors estimate inter-industry wage differentials using the Bureau of Labor Statistics's National Compensation Survey (NCS) dataset. The NCS dataset has a number of distinct advantages over household survey datasets typically used for this purpose, in part because its establishment data contain information on job content and more accurate measures of industry and occupation. The authors find that controlling for job functions substantially lowers inter-industry wage variation. To the extent that job function proxies for productivity, a substantial portion of inter-industry wage variation may be explained by worker sorting on (observed) ability.

N2  - This paper employs a constant-elasticity of substitution (CES) index formula to improve the accuracy of the preliminary values of the Chained Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (C-CPI-U). Using the CES behavioural model, I present estimates of the overall extent of consumer response to relative price changes exhibited in Consumer Expenditure Survey data for 1999-2008. The associated parameter estimates are then used to develop CES forecasts of the final C-CPI-U index values. Simulations demonstrate that use of the CES approach over the last several years would have resulted in smaller index revisions between the preliminary and final C-CPI-U releases. Looking to the future, CES-based preliminary estimates could increase the usefulness of the C-CPI-U to government programs and other users.

N2  - For researchers interested in the impact of income on life outcomes, the 'Social Security Notch' provides a rare source of variation in incomes not caused by these same life outcomes. This paper addresses the usefulness of this variation to researchers. First, it demonstrates that simulated benefit levels by cohort are very significant predictors of reported benefits and total incomes for the affected cohorts in large data sources, such as the Current Population Survey. Second, it examines whether these are large enough to disentangle the impact of changes in income from underlying cohort variability in outcomes. It shows that the cohorts with higher benefits due to law changes are also observed to have higher earned incomes in retirement. Furthermore, the difference in mortality rates between affected cohorts is similar in magnitude to the gaps between other successive cohorts. These results imply that cohort variability overshadows the effects of this potential instrument.

AB  - Theory predicts that lower-income households will produce more goods at home. Thus extended income, which includes household production, should be more equally distributed than money income. Previous studies have confirmed the greater equality of extended income and speculated that the result is due to the weak correlation between money income and household production. We also confirm this result and identify the true reason. We show that the weak correlation cannot be the explanation and that virtually all of the difference in measured inequality between the two measures is due to the addition of a large constant-the average value of household production-to money income.

N2  - Household models estimated on labour supplies alone generally assume non-market time to be pure leisure. Previous work on collective household decision-making is extended here by taking domestic work into account in the Chiappori et al. (J Polit Econ 110(1):37-72, 2002) model. Derivatives of the household "sharing rule" can then be estimated in a similar way. Using the 1998 French Time-Use Survey, we compare estimates of labour supply functions assuming first that non-market time is pure leisure and then taking household production into account. The results are similar but more robust when household production is included. Collective rationality is rejected when domestic work is omitted.

N2  - Productivity and compensation measures yield information on the extent to which the employed benefit from economic growth. Productivity growth provides the basis for rising living standards; real hourly compensation is a measure of workers' purchasing power. Increases in labor productivity--the most commonly used productivity measure--reflect investments in capital equipment and information technology, and the hiring of more highly skilled workers. Employers' ability to raise wages and other compensation is tied to increases in labor productivity. Since the 1970s, growth in inflation-adjusted, or real, hourly compensation has lagged behind labor productivity growth. This gap between the two measures is the subject of this visual essay. The gap between real hourly compensation and labor productivity is one of a number of "wage gaps" that indicate whether workers' compensation or wages keep up with productivity. There are a number of sources for compensation measures, as well as different ways to apply price indexes to adjust for inflation. This visual essay presents real hourly compensation data based on compensation data from the National Income and Product Accounts, which is the same source that the BLS productivity program uses for output. Compensation data are adjusted by using a consumer price index, and output is adjusted by using an implicit price deflator. The gap between real hourly compensation and labor productivity will be referred to in this essay as the compensation-productivity gap.

AB  - Objectives: We estimated national and state-level potential medical care cost savings achievable through modest reductions in the prevalence of several diseases associated with the same lifestyle-related risk factors. Methods: Using Medical Expenditure Panel Survey Household Component data (2003-2005), we estimated the effects on medical spending over time of reductions in the prevalence of diabetes, hypertension, and related conditions amenable to primary prevention by comparing simulated counterfactual morbidity and medical care expenditures to actual disease and expenditure patterns. We produced state-level estimates of spending by using multivariate reweighting techniques. Results: Nationally, we estimated that reducing diabetes and hypertension prevalence by 5% would save approximately $9 billion annually in the near term. With resulting reductions in comorbidities and selected related conditions, savings could rise to approximately $24.7 billion annually in the medium term. Returns were greatest in absolute terms for private payers, but greatest in percentage terms for public payers. State savings varied with demographic makeup and prevailing morbidity. Conclusions: Well-designed interventions that achieve improvements in lifestyle-related risk factors could result in sufficient savings in the short and medium term to substantially offset intervention costs.

T1  - Does Quality Adjustment Matter for Technologically Stable Products? An Application to the CPI for Food

N2  - For most indexes in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) uses a form of the matched-model approach. It has long been recognized that the matched-model method can underestimate quality improvement, and therefore overestimate price inflation, for products exhibiting rapid technological improvement. In contrast, it is frequently taken for granted that the matched model approach accurately reflects price inflation for items that have no major trend in quality. In this paper we investigate that hypothesis using CPI data for retail food items. Our results provide evidence on the accuracy of the CPI, on the validity of models of retail firm pricing behavior, and on recent work on the stickiness of prices. The BLS handling of product replacements differs from a pure matched-model method. When an item disappears and is replaced in the CPI sample by another item, a CPI analyst in Washington decides whether the replacement product's characteristics are comparable or non-comparable to those of the old product. If the two products are judged non-comparable, they are treated as wholly different models, and their quality adjusted price difference is imputed from the price movements of other items in the sample. If the two products are judged comparable, however, their prices are used in the index without adjustment, in the same way as if no model change had taken place. As typically discussed, a matched-model index is one that imputes price change in all cases of product replacement. Our paper examines monthly price changes of continuing goods, comparable substitutes and non-comparable substitutes for a set of food items during a six-year period from 2003 through 2009. For substitutions, we compute both the actual price changes and estimated quality-adjusted changes. In previous work we selected 14 relatively homogeneous food categories in order to focus on price differences across stores. In this paper, we examine an expanded set of 39 categories, including many that comprise products with widely varying characteristics and more frequent turnover: for example, lunchmeats and snacks. We find, first, that price changes for comparable substitutions are, on average, sharply greater than price changes for continuing quotes. Second, comparing our quality-adjusted and unadjusted price changes for comparable substitutes, we cannot reject the hypothesis that they are equal on average. This indicates that the CPI analysts may be roughly correct in their decisions that no significant quality changes have taken place in those cases. It also supports the idea described most recently in Nakamura and Steinsson, (as opposed to Klenow and Willis) that firms take the opportunity of product replacement to make changes in the quality-adjusted price. Finally, for substitutes judged noncomparable, we find that on average the hedonically-adjusted price changes are significantly higher than the price changes imputed using the CPI method. This suggests that the current CPI procedure for non-comparable substitutions may underestimate price change, thereby overestimating quality change. Research on this issue should continue, and conclusions about the CPI treatment of product changes will, in turn, have potentially important implications for the measurement of real output and the response of prices to monetary policy.

N2  - We found that on average over the period from 1989 to 2007, 21 percent of American households at a given point of time received a wealth transfer and these accounted for 23 percent of their net worth. Over the lifetime, about 30 percent of households could expect to receive a wealth transfer and these would account for close to 40 percent of their net worth near time of death. However, there is little evidence of an inheritance "boom." In fact, from 1989 to 2007, the share of households reporting a wealth transfer fell by 2.5 percentage points. The average value of inheritances received among all households did increase but at a slow pace, by 10 percent, and wealth transfers as a proportion of current net worth fell sharply over this period from 29 to 19 percent or by 10 percentage points. We also found, somewhat surprisingly, that inheritances and other wealth transfers tend to be equalizing in terms of the distribution of household wealth. Indeed, the addition of wealth transfers to other sources of household wealth has had a sizeable effect on reducing the inequality of wealth.

N2  - We use detailed time-diary information on high school students' daily activities from the 2003-2008 American Time Use Surveys (ATUS) to investigate the effects of employment on the time a student spends on homework and other major activities. Time-diary data are more detailed and accurate than data derived from responses to "usual activity" survey questions underlying other analyses and capture the immediate effects of working that may well accumulate over time to affect future outcomes. Our results suggest that employment decreases the time that high school students spend on homework, which is human-capital building, on all days, but also decreases screen time on non-school days, which may be considered unproductive time. Employed teens get more than the recommended amount of sleep on school days, and only slightly less on non-school days.

N2  - This paper quantifies the importance of non-wage job characteristics to workers by estimating a structural on-the-job search model. The model generalizes the standard search framework by allowing workers to search for jobs based on both wages and job-specific non-wage utility flows. Within the structure of the search model, data on accepted wages and wage changes at job transitions identify the importance of non-wage utility through revealed preference. The parameters of the model are estimated by simulated minimum distance using the 1997 cohort of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY97). The estimates reveal that utility from non-wage job characteristics plays an important role in determining job mobility, the value of jobs to workers, and the gains from job search. More specifically, non-wage utility accounts for approximately one-third of the total gains from job mobility. These large non-pecuniary gains from search are missed by search models which assume that the wage captures the entire value of a job to a worker.

N2  - This paper examines seasonal differences in monthly employment figures gathered from two Bureau of Labor Statistics programs. One is the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW), which is based on mandatory quarterly Unemployment Insurance reports; the other is the Current Employment Statistics (CES) survey. Despite using similar definitions of employment, QCEW and CES estimates are often different at micro and aggregate levels, both at a point in time and in seasonal patterns. At the aggregate level, the largest differences in growth rates between QCEW and CES employment occur from November and January. Three-fourths of the differences in monthly employment growth between QCEW and CES is due to reporting differences. Analysis of two matched samples of QCEW-CES micro data reveals that seasonal differences are related to imputation in the QCEW, the number and frequency of payrolls, and differences in the procedures used by establishments to compile QCEW and CES data.

T1  - How Does Occupational Status Impact Bridge Job Prevalence?

N2  - Is bridge job prevalence reduced significantly if a change in occupation is required in addition to the hours and tenure requirements that typically define bridge job employment? Prior research has shown that the majority of older Americans with career employment do not exit the labor force directly from their careers. Rather, most career individuals take on a "bridge job" later in life, that is, a job that follows full-time career (FTC) employment and precedes complete labor force withdrawal (i.e., retirement). One criticism of this finding is that bridge job prevalence may be overstated because the definition of a bridge job in the existing literature does not require a change in occupation. This paper investigates the extent to which bridge jobs involve a change in occupation or a switch to part-time status, both of which may signal retirement transitions as opposed to continued career employment, albeit with a different employer. We use the Health and Retirement Study (HRS), a nationally-representative longitudinal dataset of older Americans that began in 1992 as the basis for our analysis. We find that, among HRS respondents who were on a FTC job at the time of the first interview and who changed jobs in subsequent waves, 48 percent of the men and 40 percent of the women also changed occupations, using 2-digit occupation codes. Further, when hours worked are also considered, we find that more than three quarters of FTC respondents who changed jobs later in life had either a change in occupation or a switch from full-time to part-time status. Finally, an examination of those career workers who changed jobs but not occupations and who remained working full time reveals that, as a whole, they resemble those who took bridge jobs rather than those who remained on their FTC job. We conclude that the vast majority of career workers who changed jobs later in life did in fact do so as part of a retirement transition.

N2  - Studies over the last two decades make clear that firms' attempts to remain competitive in a global economy have taken them in many different directions. The proliferation of strategies has thrown into relief patterns by which differences in the wage structure of establishments appear to be associated with the ways they are organizing work and implementing new technologies. Lazear and Shaw (2008) have found that inter-firm differences in pay levels have both continued to grow over time, and are clearly correlated with measures of within-firm wage variation, signaling the importance of differences among firms' internal pay strategies. The current study examines two detailed industries in the precision manufacturing sector and asks--What are the differences in the wage and employment structures of establishments that appear to be using HR policies in different ways? Are groups of workers affected equally or differently? What types of skills are targeted? The study addresses these questions using latent variable techniques and a variety of detailed measures of the wage structure of establishments, that include measures designed to co-vary with establishments' usage of particular types of HR wage policies aimed at increasing qualitative flexibility. A mixed continuous /discrete latent variable model is used to examine a latent construct defined by the inter-correlation between 1) those occupational wages that are most highly correlated with measures of the establishment wage structure, 2) the employment intensities of one or more detailed occupations previously found to 'discriminate' between high and low wage establishments, 3) the establishment wage differential, and 4) the measures wagestrucp. In both studies, the occupational wages most highly correlated with measures of the wage structure of the establishment include occupations directly involved in ensuring quality, including Inspectors, and in both studies, the 'discriminator' occupations include occupations most directly involved in the most technically complex activities. In both studies, the latent variable explains a substantial portion of the variance of these variables. Among large Medical Device manufacturers, the latent variable also explains most of the inter-establishment wage variation of the industry /establishment-size cell.

N2  - Do public insurance programs crowd out private savings? I examine the relationship between Medicaid and wealth and make a contribution to the literature on this issue in three primary ways. First, I apply the instrumental-variables approach developed by Gruber and Yelowitz (1999) to a different dataset, the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, 1979 (NLSY79), while at the same time examining an alternative instrument. The results turn out to differ depending on the instrument and, for one of the instruments, to be sensitive to assumptions needed to identify Medicaid's effects. Second, using the longitudinal data in the NLSY79, I am able to observe families before and after becoming eligible for Medicaid, and use fixed-effects to control for family-specific unobservable factors that are correlated with both Medicaid eligibility and wealth accumulation. It turns out, however, that assessment of the impact of Medicaid by means of fixed effects has its limitations as well. Third, I make use of the SIPP data used by Gruber and Yelowitz themselves, and examine the sensitivity of their conclusions to omitted factors that may be related to both Medicaid eligibility and to wealth accumulation. While more robust than the results using the NLSY79, the SIPP estimates are found to depend on the sample used and on certain specification restrictions. Taken together, the results suggest caution in making inferences about the impact of Medicaid on wealth.

N2  - The Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) program has reached the milestone of publishing 10 years of monthly data, and the JOLTS data are increasingly used by the academic and policy communities. In light of these two achievements, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) sponsored a JOLTS Symposium on December 10, 2010. The purpose of the Symposium was to bring together leading academic and policy users of JOLTS. Five research papers using JOLTS data were presented, and the Symposium concluded with a roundtable discussion of the strengths, weaknesses, and recommendations for the future of the JOLTS program. This conference report summarizes the JOLTS Symposium.

AB  - Title V of the Older Americans Act, the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP), is a 40+-year-old federal program providing subsidized community service and employment training to low-income, unemployed individuals aged 55 and older. It is the only nationally mandated workforce training program for seniors. Because of SCSEP's dual mission, participants added 48 million hours of community service (valued at almost $1 billion) to the U.S. economy in 2008. Almost half (48.9%) of the participants are racial or ethnic minorities, which makes it crucial to understand the program experience of these individuals. Participation, program duration, and employment placement of minorities are examined. Findings show successful enrollment rates, an interactive effect of age and education on program duration, and no indication of a minority disadvantage in employment placement. Recommendations include funding for innovative grants, leveraging of federal partnerships, and targeted technical assistance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - The Consumer Expenditure Survey (CE) is the most detailed source of expenditures, demographics, and income data collected by the Federal Government. The data are collected in two component surveys: the Quarterly Interview Survey (henceforth referred to as the Interview Survey) and the Diary Survey. Each year, the CE program releases microdata from these surveys; these microdata are used by researchers in a variety of areas, including academia, government, market research, and other private industry. Since 2006, the Division of Consumer Expenditure Surveys (DCES) has conducted an annual workshop each July for users of the CE microdata. Held in the conference facilities of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) headquarters in Washington, D.C., the workshops have included speakers demonstrating features of the data, as well as reports from researchers who have used these data in their work.

This article links data from the American Time Use Study and the Eating and Health Module to explore exercise and eating patterns for varying age groups, over different times of day, and by self-reported health status. Younger Americans who did some exercise were more likely to engage in higher impact sports. Older Americans who exercised were more likely to do so in the morning. Americans who reported being in excellent health spent more time exercising than other self-reported health groups, regardless of their sex or age.

N2  - Most indexes in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) use a form of the "matched-model" approach. It is frequently assumed that this approach accurately reflects inflation for items that have no major trend in quality. In this paper we investigate that hypothesis using CPI data for retail food items. We find that CPI analysts may be correct on average when they decide that new and replacement items are similar in quality. We also find, however, that when sample items are replaced by items of significantly different quality the CPI imputation procedures may underestimate price change and overstate quality change.

AB  - Abstract: The isotopic composition of spent nuclear fuels is vital data for studies on the nuclear fuel cycle and reactor physics. The Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) has been active in obtaining such data for pressurized water reactor (PWR) and boiling water reactor (BWR) fuels, and some data has already been published. These data have been registered with the international Spent Fuel Isotopic Composition Database (SFCOMPO) and widely used as international benchmarks for burnup calculation codes and libraries. In this paper, Assay Data of Spent Nuclear Fuel from two fuel assemblies irradiated in the Ohi-1 and Ohi-2 PWRs in Japan are shown. The destructive assay data from Ohi-2 have already been published. However, these data were not suitable for the benchmarking of calculation codes and libraries because several important specifications and data were not included. This paper summarizes the details of destructive assay data and specifications required for analyses of isotopic composition from Ohi-1 and Ohi-2. For precise burnup analyses, the burnup values of destructive assay samples were re-evaluated in this study. These destructive assay data were analyzed using the SWAT2.1 code, and the calculation results showed good agreement with experimental results. This indicates that the quality of destructive assay data from Ohi-1 and Ohi-2 PWRs is high, and that these destructive assay data are suitable for the benchmarking of burnup calculation code systems.

AB  - Abstract: The utilization of health care services has undergone several important shifts in recent years that have implications for the cost of medical care. We empirically document the presence of these shifts for a broad list of medical conditions and assess the implications for price indexes. Following the earlier literature, we compare the growth of two price measures: one that tracks expenditures for the services actually provided to treat conditions and another that holds the mix of those services fixed over time. Using retrospective claims data for a sample of commercially insured patients, we find that, on average, expenditures to treat diseases rose 11% from 2003Q1 to 2005Q4 and would have risen even faster, 18%, had the mix of services remained fixed at the 2003Q1 levels. This suggests that fixed-basket price indexes, as are used in the official statistics, could overstate true price growth significantly. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

N2  - STEM occupations--technical jobs in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics--play an instrumental role in expanding scientific frontiers, developing new products, and generating technological progress. These occupations are concentrated in cutting-edge industries such as computer systems design, scientific research and development, and high-tech manufacturing industries. Although educational requirements vary, most of these occupations require a bachelor's degree or higher. Accordingly, STEM occupations are high-paying occupations, with most having mean wages significantly above the U.S. average. Using May 2009 data from the Occupational Employment Statistics program, this visual essay takes a closer look at STEM occupations.

AB  - In this paper we provide new evidence on the impact on the U.S. CPI of the appearance and growth of new types of product outlets. Our CPI food microdata permit a more detailed categorization of outlet types than in previous studies, and we can adjust for numerous differences in item characteristics. We also examine the effects of changes in outlet mix not only across outlet categories but also within those categories. In our sample, we find that the upward impact on price from increased item quality has offset most, but not all, of the downward impact of lower-priced outlets. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: This study of the electrical conductivity of metamorphic rocks as a function of temperature highlights the importance of conductivity variations associated with dehydration. We observed conductivity changes for anhydrous rocks and hydrous amphibolites up to 1100K at 0.5GPa. Our experimental results revealed that dehydration takes place and that there is a non-linear variation above metamorphic temperatures. To evaluate the observed changes in conductivity after dehydration, numerical calculations were conducted. The calculation results showed that the bulk conductivity of rock plus pure water cannot account for the conductivity values of reacted rocks if the crust dehydrates. However, the data for 0.1m NaCl solutions are consistent with those for amphibolites between 530 and 1100K. In this temperature range, the estimated volume fractions of dewatered saline solutions vary between 0.04 and 0.36vol.%. These results show that although dehydration is insignificant, and only small amounts of high-salinity fluids are formed in the crust, the total conductivity of amphibolites is high after dehydration.

N2  - The CPI component indices are obtained from comparing price quotes at a given store in different periods. If we omit comparisons from goods in the store in the initial, but not in the comparison, period we generate a selection bias: goods that exit are disproportionately obsolete goods that have falling prices. Building on Pakes (2003), we explain why standard hedonic predictions for second-period prices of exiting goods do not account for this bias. New hedonic methods are derived, shown to have desirable properties, and are applied to three CPI samples where they generate significant selection corrections.

N2  - Individuals who are displaced from their job often face difficulties finding new employment. Since 1984, the U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration has sponsored surveys of displaced workers. These surveys have been conducted biennially in January as a supplement to the Current Population Survey, the nation's monthly labor force survey. The supplemental survey collects information on the number and characteristics of people age 20 and over who lost or left jobs during the prior 3 years because their plant or company closed or moved, there was insufficient work, or their position or shift was abolished. Information also is gathered about the job they lost and whether they are employed, unemployed, or no longer in the labor force at the time of the survey.

AB  - Does sending children to college affect the contemporaneous labor supply of older workers? Drawing on biennial waves of the Health and Retirement Survey from 1992-2006, the author tracks the labor supply of parents before and after they send their children to college and shows that parents delay retirement while they are financing their children's college education. Controlling for the total number of children who ever attend college and the total number of those whose college expenses are paid for by older parents, she finds that mothers and fathers are more likely to be working (by 10.5 percentage points for fathers and by 6.9 percentage points for mothers), less likely to be collecting Social Security benefits, and less likely to report that they are retired if they are currently paying for a child's college education. Of those working, there is little evidence that paying for a child's education has any impact on work intensity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This study offers new evidence on the effects of the matching contributions made by employers to 401(k) plan accounts on plan participation rates, exploiting microdata from the National Compensation Survey, a large, nationally representative, establishment dataset. It addresses the potential endogeneity of the matching contributions by employing coworker and labor market characteristics as instruments. The results indicate that employer matches have substantial effects. They also indicate that higher match rates tend to be correlated with workers having lower propensities to save; correcting for this endogeneity produces estimates that are bigger than those seen through direct cross-sectional comparisons.

AB  - The article focuses on the efficacy of merit-aid programs to meet its goals including the reduction of the costs of college education, improving student effort and academic achievement in high school and college, and increasing college-educated workforce. It explores the association between the merit aid program and post-college outcomes by assessing the influence of merit aid on state resident's decisions of entering college and choosing where to live and work after college. It discusses the transition of students from high school to college and how the program could increase the number of students in a state who go to college. It suggests that broad-based merit-aid programs have a small effect on college-educated labor in the U.S.

N2  - There is increasing evidence that the stock of college-educated labor in an area has fundamental effects on state and local economies through its association with wages, economic growth, personal incomes, and tax revenues. As a result, policy makers in many states attempt to increase the percentage of the state's population (or workforce) that has a college degree through the use of various higher education policies that have the potential to influence the supply side of the labor market. This article reviews evidence on the effectiveness of these policies in achieving that goal. The author discusses several types of policies related to the finance and production of undergraduate education within a state, including expansions in degree production, merit-based scholarships, location-contingent financial aid, adjustments to the composition of enrollment by residency or by field of study, and internships with state-based employers.

N2  - Construction occupations accounted for 4.9 million jobs in May 2010, down from 6.5 million in May 2006 when employment in construction-related occupations reached a peak. Since then, employment has declined among establishments whose primary output was construction or construction trade services and among workers performing construction-related activities in any industry. Employment in 40 of the 46 construction occupations decreased over this time, with some occupations declining by half. The employment declines were more extreme in some industries than others. Employment declines were often steeper among the lower-paid construction helper occupations.

N2  - Participatory work practices, like teams, quality circles and joint consultative committees (JCCs) can, but do not necessarily, decentralize decision making and increase worker autonomy. We use broad, cross-sectional establishment data from the European Union and three Commonwealth countries to measure the extent of decision making by workers across these countries, and to analyse how this measure varies with the use of participatory practices. Within Europe, workers in Sweden, Germany, France, the Netherlands and Ireland are most likely to be given the authority to make decisions. In Spain, Portugal and Italy, decentralized decision making is more unusual. While decision making is generally higher in establishments with teams, JCCs and quality circles, this result does not hold across all countries. Even where the relationships are significant, use of participatory practices explains a surprisingly small amount of the overall variation in decision making.

N2  - In the past several years a wide range of methods for the construction of regression trees and other estimators based on the recursive partitioning of samples have appeared in the statistics literature. Many applications involve data collected through a complex sample design. At present, however, relatively little is known regarding the properties of these methods under complex designs. This article proposes a method for incorporating information about the complex sample design when building a regression tree using a recursive partitioning algorithm. Sufficient conditions are established for asymptotic design L[superscript 2] consistency of these regression trees as estimators for an arbitrary regression function. The proposed method is illustrated with Occupational Employment Statistics establishment survey data linked to Quarterly Census of Employment and Wage payroll data of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Performance of the nonparametric estimator is investigated through a simulation study based on this example.

AB  - We propose a new method for evaluating the mean square error (mse) of a possibly biased estimator θ1, or, rather, the class of estimators to which it belongs. The method uses confidence intervals c of a corresponding unbiased estimator θ and makes its assessment based on the extent to which c includes θ1. The method does not require an estimate, implicit or explicit, of the bias of θ1, is indifferent to the bias/variance breakdown of θ1's mse, and does not require surety of a model on which θ1 is based.

N2  - Time-use researchers are typically interested in the time use of individuals, but time use data are samples of person-days. Given day-to-day variation in how people spend their time, this distinction is analytically important. We examine the conditions necessary to make inferences about the time use of individuals from a sample of person-days. We also discuss whether and how surveys with multiple household members or multiple days are an improvement over single-diary surveys.

N2  - The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is an important social index number, central to monetary policy, well being measurement, optimal pricing, and tax and contract escalation. Shelter costs have a large weight in the CPI, so their movements receive much attention. The CPI incorporates two shelter indexes: Rent, covering renters, and Owners' Equivalent Rent (OER), covering owners. Between 1999 and 2006, Rent and OER inflation twice diverged markedly; this occurred again recently. Because these indexes share a common data source--a large sample of market rents--such divergence often prompts questions about CPI methods, particularly the OER utilities adjustment. (This adjustment is necessary to produce an unbiased OER index, because many market rents include utilities, but OER is a rent-of-shelter concept.) The utilities adjustment procedure is no smoking gun. It was not the major cause of these divergences, and it generates no long-run inflation measurement bias. Nonetheless, it increases OER inflation volatility and can drive OER inflation far from its measurement goal in the short run. This article develops a theory of utilities adjustment and outlines a straightforward improvement of Bureau of Labor Statistics procedures that eliminates their undesirable properties. The short-run impact on inflation measurement can be very sizable.

N2  - We examine monthly variation in weekly work hours using data for 2003-10 from the Current Population Survey (CPS) on hours/worker, from the Current Employment Survey (CES) on hours/job, and from the American Time Use Survey (ATUS) on both. The ATUS data minimize recall difficulties and constrain hours of work to accord with total available time. The ATUS hours/worker are less cyclical than the CPS series, but the hours/job are more cyclical than the CES series. We present alternative estimates of productivity based on ATUS data and find that it is more pro-cyclical than other productivity measures.

N2  - The Employment Cost Index for wages and salaries is based on a comparison of the average wage rates for the same set of jobs across a three-month interval. Employment for the majority of the jobs remains the same over the three months. However, if the index were based solely on the jobs for which their number of workers decreased, it would have shown wage growth of over 50 percent from December 2001 to December 2011. Conversely, if the index were based solely on the jobs for which their number of workers increased, it would have almost no wage growth over the same ten years. Therefore, this article describes how the jobs are defined and chosen for the ECI sample, and it explores how such high wage growth for jobs losing workers, along with such low wage growth for jobs gaining workers, affects the growth in the Employment Cost Index for wages and salaries overall.

N2  - A vast literature has sought to assess the magnitude of inter-industry differences in pay and explain why they exist. The measurement of inter-industry pay differentials and the resulting use of this information to assess the empirical relevance of different labor market theories have been hampered, however, by the fact that measures of total compensation--as opposed to just wages and salaries--are not available in the datasets traditionally used. To our knowledge, we are the first to use compensation microdata in a study of inter-industry pay differentials. Because nonwage compensation can easily exceed 40 to 50 percent of wages, its inclusion has the potential to alter measured industry pay differences, either diminishing or amplifying them. We find that the inclusion of benefits increases industry dispersion, as measured by the standard deviation of inter-industry differentials, by 16 percent when no controls are included and by an even greater 30 percent when controls are included.

N2  - If higher ability individuals are more likely to attend college and if there is significant ability bias in the college education premium, then a significant portion of the observed complementarity between the college and non-college educated is due to changes in the ability composition of education groups. If college attainment rose to over half the population, this composition effect would reverse, as is illustrated with high school attainment. If there is little ability bias, the ability distribution is nearly degenerate, with the awkward implication that the most productive individuals would earn barely more without a college education than the least.

N2  - The average size of establishments rose through the expansion of the 1990s, and then fell slightly during the expansion of the 2000s. In this paper, we seek to understand the change in trend in the average size of establishments during the last two decades. We begin with an exploration of the robustness of the basic empirical facts. Both Business Employment Dynamics statistics from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and Business Dynamics Statistics from the Census Bureau show that the average size of businesses--both establishments and firms--growing slower in the 2000s than in the 1990s. The Census Bureau data also show the trends of average size in the 1990s are similar to the trends from the late 1970s and the 1980s. Our empirical analysis results in two main conclusions. First, the change in trend of the average size of establishments occurs in almost all industries, and our decomposition shows that the sizeable shifts in industry composition that occurred in the U.S. economy during the past two decades account for only about half of the downward trend during the 2000s expansion. Second, we find that the decrease in the average size of establishments during the 2000s expansion can be explained by the age of establishments. Specifically, we find that establishment births are starting smaller and staying smaller.

T1  - Supplemental Poverty Measure Thresholds: Imputing School Lunch and WIC Benefits to the Consumer Expenditure Survey Using the Current Population Survey

N1  - Accession Number: 1330094; Keywords: Supplemental poverty measurement, Consumer Expenditure Survey, Current Population Survey, In-kind transfers, Imputation; Publication Type: Working Paper; Update Code: 201210
N2  - In March 2010 an Interagency Technical Working Group (ITWG) released guidelines on thresholds and resources for a Supplemental Poverty Measure (SPM). The ITWG recommended that thresholds include in-kind benefits that are accounted for in resources; however, only limited in-kind benefit information is available in the Consumer Expenditure Survey (CE) Interview component, the data source upon which the thresholds are based. For example, the CE collects information on food expenditures that implicitly include the cash value of benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) but no information on other food programs. This study introduces a new method, the CPS Program Participation Method, of imputing benefits for the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and the Women, Infants, and Children program (WIC). In this study, data from the Current Population Survey (CPS), the data source upon which the SPM resource measure is based, are used to model the participation of CE households in the NSLP and WIC using the CPS Program Participation Method. These CPS based participation rates for NSLP and WIC are then used along with U.S. Department of Agriculture information to assign benefit levels to the CE households. Thresholds based on the CPS Program Participation Method are produced for 2009 and compared to thresholds based on a method based on program eligibility guidelines, the CE Eligibility Method. SPM thresholds are produced by housing types as well as overall. No poverty rates using these thresholds are produced. Results reveal that the CE Eligibility Method overall threshold is higher than the CPS Program Participation Method overall threshold. This is not surprising since the CE threshold is based on eligibility while the CPS threshold is based on program participation. The paired CE and CPS based thresholds are also statistically significantly different from each other for owners with mortgages and for owners without mortgages. When housing tenure thresholds are compared to each other within each method group, statistically significant differences arise for two of the three pairs of thresholds. In particular, the thresholds for owners without a mortgage were found to be different from the thresholds of both owners with a mortgage and renters, while the thresholds for owners with a mortgage and renters did not differ from each other at the significance levels used for testing.

N2  - To what extent does continued work later in life in the form of bridge job employment impact the relocation decisions of older Americans? Continued work later in life has been suggested as a way for older workers to help maintain their standard of living in retirement, by increasing income in the near term and simultaneously delaying the date at which assets are drawn down. While the financial benefit of continued work is straightforward and potentially large, the ripple effects of continued work can impact the lives of older Americans in many other ways. This paper focuses on relocation decisions following career employment. We use the Health and Retirement Study (HRS), an ongoing nationally-representative longitudinal survey of older Americans that began in 1992, to explore the frequency and determinants of relocations among career workers who moved to a bridge job relative to those who exited from the labor force directly. For both groups we find that long-distance relocations following career employment were infrequent, as less than one in twenty career workers moved to a new Census Division. Moves that involved a change in "area" or change in residence, however, were much more common, with a frequency at the time of transition from career employment of 9 percent and 15 percent, respectively. Most importantly, the frequency of moves was similar for those who took bridge jobs and those who exited directly, as were key determinants of moves, suggesting that continued work does not significantly limit or promote relocations.

N2  - We examine family time together using data from the 2003-2010 American Time Use Survey combined with Bureau of Labor Statistics data on state-level unemployment rates. Couple time together is U-shaped; while fathers spend more time engaging in enriching childcare activities without a spouse present as the unemployment rate rises. Patterns are similar for dual-earner couples, but appear concentrated among demographic groups most affected by recessions. We also find that mothers are less likely to work standard hours and more likely to work on weekends as employment crises deepen, which is consistent with both sets of results for family time together.

AB  - Recognising the need for evidence to inform policies, strategies, and programmes to care for vulnerable children has led the US Government to convene an Evidence Summit on Protecting Children Outside of Family Care on Dec 12–13, 2011, in Washington, DC, USA. The Summit will bring together leading researchers and technical experts to assess the evidence to inform policies, strategies, and programmes relevant to protecting children outside of family care in low-income and middle-income countries and so identify evidence gaps to shape the future research agenda. Following the Summit, we have committed to establish guiding principles for US Government assistance to affected children outside the USA and to develop a strategy, by July, 2012, to promote evidence-based responses to protect these vulnerable children. The strategy will promote application of the principles, implementation of evidence-based best practices, and research to address critical knowledge gaps in initiatives for at risk children outside of family care funded by the US Government. With continued global collaboration and coordination across agencies and partners, we can tackle more effectively the common constraints to improving children’s wellbeing and protecting the most vulnerable.

N2  - In 2011, the federal government addressed a pair of issues concerning methodological aspects associated with the unemployment rate, as well as discontinuing an important surtax. First, regarding methodology, on June 13, 2011, the Department of Labor published a notice in the Federal Register informing states of the methodology used to calculate the "on" and "off" total unemployment rate indicators to determine when extended-benefit periods begin and end in a state. Also, retroactive to April 16, 2011, the methodology for calculating the 110-percent look-back requirement based on the total unemployment rate is switched from rounding at the fourth decimal place to rounding at the second decimal place. Second, to meet federal requirements, effective July 1, 2011, the 0.2-percent Federal Unemployment Tax Act surtax, originally enacted in 1976 and extended eight times thereafter, was discontinued. The tax had affected most employers.

AB  - The Gambia, the smallest mainland country in Africa, is increasingly a transit point for illicit drug traffic between Latin America and Europe. As part of President Yayeh Jammeh’s attempts to crack down on this drug trade, in October 2010 the Gambian legislature passed a mandatory sentence of death for drug trafficking for persons possessing more than 250 grams of cocaine or heroin. The law was not constitutionally operable, however, because of Article 18(2) of the Gambian constitution, which forbids the death penalty for crimes other than aggravated or premeditated murder. Consequently, the death penalty for drug trafficking was abolished in April 2011. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB  - Abstract: We use detailed time-diary information on high school students’ daily activities from the 2003–2008 American Time Use Surveys (ATUS) to investigate the effects of employment on the time a student spends on homework and other major activities. Time-diary data are more detailed and accurate than data derived from responses to “usual activity” survey questions underlying other analyses and capture the immediate effects of working that may well accumulate over time to affect future outcomes. Our results suggest that employment decreases the time that high school students spend on homework, which is human-capital building, on all days, but also decreases screen time on non-school days, which may be considered unproductive time. Employed teens get more than the recommended amount of sleep on school days, and only slightly less on non-school days. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - We compare the ability of three measurement error remedies to deliver unbiased estimates of coefficients in investment regressions. We examine high-order moment estimators, dynamic panel estimators, and simple instrumental variables estimators that use lagged mismeasured regressors as instruments.We show that recent investigations of this question are largely uninformative. We find that all estimators can perform well under correct specification, all can be biased under misspecification, and misspecification is easiest to detect in the case of high-order moment estimators. We develop and demonstrate a minimum distance technique that extends the high-order moment estimators to be used on unbalanced panel data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - With increased attention to administrative data for statistical purposes, analyses of the quality of administrative data and comparisons to survey data are greatly needed. This article presents a methodology for identifying sources of error in administrative and survey data and for identifying sources of differences between administrative and survey estimates. The first part of the methodology is a statistical decomposition of the difference between administrative and survey estimates. The second part investigates the causes of measurement error and the factors associated with differences between what the same respondents report in the survey and the administrative records. I illustrate this methodology using a case study of the monthly employment figures gathered from U.S. businesses. This analysis demonstrates that both administrative data and survey data may contain errors and that reporting procedures are likely to differ between the two types of data. The article also identifies practical ways to assess data quality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The article reports on a study on the shifts in working hours, as well as work-related injuries and illnesses in the U.S. labor market. According to the 2003-2008 data of the Surveys of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses (SOII), the total recorded injury and illness rate in the country has declined from 5.0 to 3.9 cases per 100 regular workers. The author utilizes data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) to investigate whether the shifts in the share of working hours in the country is contributing to the decline in injury and illness rates. He also looks into the impact of the shifts on private sector employment.

AB  - The authors estimate the effects of U.S. manufacturers' use of staffing services on measured employment and labor productivity between 1989 and 2009. Using time series data constructed from the Occupational Employment Statistics program, they document the dramatic increase in manufacturers' use of staffing services to fill core production occupations and to adjust employment levels during recessions. In 2006, just before the recent recession, staffing services added an estimated 9.2% to manufacturing employment, compared with only 2.3% in 1989. Outsourcing to staffing services significantly dampened measured employment volatility and inflated the growth and volatility of measured labor productivity in manufacturing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - A visual essay about the projection of the labor force in the U.S. is presented. It presents a series of charts which provide an overview of the trends in the civilian labor force and civilian labor force participation rates for a period of 100 years from 1950-2050. It discusses the four distinct birthrate patterns in the country which created significant demographic changes with long-lasting impacts on future labor markets.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Current quantitative methods for airborne dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) require collection and extraction times of ≥ 12 h. The aim of this study was to develop a method for quantifying airborne DDT with a short (<4 h) collection and analysis time. RESULTS: Precision [relative standard deviation (RSD)] for each calibration point (0.8-9.0), linearity ( R2 = 0.99) and apparent recovery ( R′ = 96.5%) were determined from thermal desorption (TD) gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analyses of Tenax-TA-packed sampling tubes spiked with 1-250 ng of DDT. Recovery of 13C-labeled 4,4′-DDT from tubes spiked before and after air sampling was 97.3 and 90.3% respectively. DDT was detected and quantified in 1-3 L samples of air collected during 10-180 min sampling events. A significant difference was observed in DDT air concentration between 28 and 33 °C during microchamber studies. CONCLUSIONS: The results demonstrate that the TD GC-MS method developed in this study is precise, reproducible and linear over the span of 1-250 ng of DDT spiked onto TD tubes. By avoiding dilution of the sample, the method described allows the measurement of DDT vapor concentrations during short sampling periods (10-180 min) relevant to mosquito behavior studies.

AB  - Objectives: Children outside of family care face increased risk of threats to their well-being, have lower educational achievement, and experience adverse developmental outcomes. While it is generally accepted that early response and intervention is critical to reducing the risk of harm for children who have been separated from their families, it is not always clear what the most effective early response strategies are for assessing and addressing their immediate needs. The purpose of this review was to identify evidence-based early response strategies and interventions for improving the outcomes of children outside of family care, including children of and on the street, institutionalized children, trafficked children, children affected by conflict and disaster, and who are exploited for their labor. Methods: A multi-phased, systematic evidence review was conducted on peer-reviewed and gray literature, which yielded a total of 101 documents that met the inclusion criteria and were reviewed. Results: Overall there is a weak evidence base regarding assessment and early response interventions for children living outside of family care. Few studies included careful outcome measures or comparison groups. Although few proven interventions emerged, the review identified several promising early interventions and approaches. In emergency settings, family tracing and reunification is a highly effective response in regard to separated children, whereas placing children in institutional care is problematic, with the possible exception of time-limited placements of formerly recruited children in interim care centers. Livelihood supports are promising in regard to preventing and responding to children living outside family care. Other promising interventions include psychosocial support, including the use of traditional cleansing rituals as appropriate, educational supports such as Child Friendly Spaces, the maintenance of family connectedness for children of or on the streets, the use of community-based approaches that aid social integration, and approaches that enable meaningful child participation. A recurrent theme was that to be effective, all assessments and interventions must fit the context. A strong need exists for strengthening the evidence base regarding the effectiveness of early assessments and responses to children living outside family care and for using the evidence to guide operational policy and practice. Recommendations regarding policy, practices, and research emerged from the review process. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)

AB  - Abstract: As open tubular gas chromatography was becoming widely adopted, the potential to rapidly heat and cool the low thermal mass of an open tubular fused silica column was recognized. Numerous resistive column heating approaches were subsequently described and demonstrated, often with a common objective to focus heating efforts on the column alone, rather than on a large convection oven. Low thermal mass column bundles have been commercially available for about ten years, where insulated wires in close proximity to a coiled open tubular capillary column provide resistive heating. Before this, person-portable gas chromatographs either operated isothermally at relatively low temperatures or at ambient temperature to lessen power demands, but several person-portable gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) instruments capable of temperature program operation have become available in the past ten years based on this heating method. When low thermal mass heated zones are used, and with a direct GC–MS interface, analysis times of less than 5min are possible for target compounds having a wide range of volatilities. Previous capabilities in transportable and person-portable gas chromatography instrumentation are reviewed to demonstrate the scale of advancement made possible by the adoption of open tubular columns and low power heating techniques now becoming routinely available. Microcomachined columns which are usually etched in a silicon wafer represent a radical break from the traditional fused silica open tubular column design, and increasing efforts to use this column construction approach are also examined. The developments discussed have introduced the potential to rapidly analyze compounds with a wide volatility range in the field to protect deployed military forces, the health of workers, and the health of the general public.

AB  - Abstract: Using a sample of youth who graduated from high school in the late 1990s and early 2000s, this paper examines the impact of high school math curriculum on the decision to go to college. Results that control for unobserved differences between students and their families suggest that a more rigorous high school math curriculum is associated with a higher probability of attending college and of attending a 4-year college. The household fixed effect results imply that students who take an advanced academic math curriculum in high school (algebra II or precalculus, trigonometry, or calculus) are about 17 percentage points more likely to go to college and 20 percentage points more likely to start college at a 4-year school by age 21 compared to those students whose highest math class was algebra I or geometry.

N2  - Are state and local government workers overcompensated? In this paper, we step back from the highly charged rhetoric and address this question with the two primary data sources for looking at compensation of state and local government workers: the Current Population Survey conducted by the Bureau of the Census for the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and the Employer Costs for Employee Compensation microdata collected as part of the National Compensation Survey of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. In both data sets, the workers being hired in the public sector have higher skill levels than those in the private sector, so the challenge is to compare across sectors in a way that adjusts suitably for this difference. After controlling for skill differences and incorporating employer costs for benefits packages, we find that, on average, public sector workers in state government have compensation costs 3-10 percent greater than those for workers in the private sector, while in local government the gap is 10-19 percent. We caution that this finding is somewhat dependent on the chosen sample and specification, that averages can obscure broader differences in distributions, and that a host of worker and job attributes are not available to us in these data. Nonetheless, the data suggest that public sector workers, especially local government ones, on average, receive greater remuneration than observably similar private sector workers. Overturning this result would require, we think, strong arguments for particular model specifications, or different data.

AB  - The article presents an analysis of the transmission of price through three stages of food production and the effects of price transmission on consumer food. The three food production stages are unprocessed producer foods, finished producer food and consumer food. There are two categories of consumer food, namely, food consumed at home and food consumed away from home. The use of several vector autoregression (VAR) models as part of the analysis is explained. The impact of the Producer Price Index (PPI) for unprocessed foodstuffs and feedstuffs and the PPI for finished consumer food on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for food consumed at home and food consumed away from home is discussed.

N2  - Having sufficient income during retirement years is a concern for many Americans. In years past, many employers provided a pension plan--formally a defined benefit plan--that ensured periodic payments for the life of the retiree and his or her spouse. Such plans are becoming rare for workers in private industry. In 2011, only 10 percent of all private sector establishments provided defined benefit plans, covering 18 percent of private industry employees. Decades ago, broad coverage of these plans allowed the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) to analyze and tabulate considerable detail about how they worked. Today, the declining number of plan participants limits such detail. This essay will explore the details of the last private industry pension plans.

N2  - The measurement of inter-industry pay differentials and the resulting use of this information to assess the empirical relevance of different labor market theories have been hampered by the fact that measures of total compensation--as opposed to just wages and salaries--are not available in the datasets traditionally used. We improve upon past measures of inter-industry pay differentials by being the first, to our knowledge, to incorporate microdata on nonwage compensation. Such compensation can easily exceed 40 to 50 percent of wages and thus its inclusion may either diminish or amplify measured industry pay differences. Using the Employer Costs for Employee Compensation (ECEC) data produced by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, we find that the inclusion of benefits increases industry dispersion by 16 percent when no controls are included and by an even greater 30 percent when controls are included.

N2  - Time-diary surveys collect detailed information about individuals' activities over a short period of time, typically one day. Thus, it is common to see zero time spent in many activities, even for individuals who regularly do the activity. Because of the large number of zeros, Tobit would seem to be the natural approach. However, once it is recognized that these zeros arise not from censoring, but from a mismatch between the reference period of the data (the diary day) and the period of interest (typically much longer than a day), it is not clear that Tobit is appropriate.

BLS first set three criteria for the definition and reviewed existing definitions in surveys by several states, other federal agencies, industry, research and international organizations. Green jobs can be either jobs in businesses that offer services or goods that benefit the environment, or jobs at establishments that use environment-friendly production processes. It discusses the methods used in Green Goods and Services and Green Technologies and Practices surveys that were the basis of the definition.

School bus drivers were the largest occupation in all-green establishments, followed by transit bus drivers and refuse and recyclable material collectors. Occupations that are most heavily concentrated in all-green establishments were subway and street car operators, nuclear reactor operators, school bus drivers, transportation attendants and conservations technicians.

AB  - The article discusses the results of U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' Green Technologies and Practices (GTP) survey and Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses on workplace safety and health of workers in green technology jobs in August 2011. Janitors and cleaners have the highest concentration of GTP jobs and most likely to sustain occupational injuries and illnesses. Heating, air conditioning and refrigeration mechanics and installers have the highest median days of absence from work at 16. Fall on same level is the most prevalent event that exposes maintenance and repair workers to nonfatal injuries and illnesses.

N2  - In March 2013, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics published its second and final Green Goods and Services (GGS) survey news release containing detailed economic statistics on industry employment in the green goods and services sector. The GGS survey used the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages program (QCEW) as a sample frame. This article highlights the 2011 GGS survey results and enhancements of the data collection process. In 2011, the U.S. economy had 3.4 million jobs associated with the production of green goods and services, which represented 2.6 percent of total employment and resulted from an increase of 157,746 jobs from 2010.

N2  - In the final phase of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) initiative, the CPI Housing Survey is executing a process to continuously replace the CPI Housing Survey sample. This process begins with a 2-year augmentation of the 1990 U.S. Census Bureau sample, followed by a 4-year replacement of the 1990 sample, with both samples drawn from the 2000 Census. The process then culminates with a 6-year continuous replacement of the 2000 Census sample, with a sample drawn from the American Community Survey using 2010 Census geography. The CPI Housing Survey employed new innovative processing, including the use of purchased address lists and mail prescreening, while the existing core processing effectively compiled the new housing microdata throughout the sample augmentation and replacement.

N2  - Airplanes were invented after decades of experimentation in many countries through a process we can call open-source innovation. Experimenters, inventors, and writers contributed to the airplane's development by sharing information in publications, in clubs, by writing letters and by visiting. The hundreds of aeronautical patents before 1900 were treated like publications, not like claims to intellectual property. Inventors of modern airplanes copied earlier designs, analogously to advances in open-source software today. In 1908 airplanes were seen to fly in public exhibitions, and a new industry of airplane manufacturers started quickly in several countries based largely on public non-proprietary information. With the appearance of industrial airplane manufacturing, patents assumed a new importance in the context of commercial competition.

AB  - This chapter focuses on the prevalence, determinants, and outcomes of bridge jobs that follow full-time career employment and precede labor force withdrawal. Since the mid-1980s, the labor force participation rates of older Americans have been rising, reversing a century-long trend toward earlier and earlier retirement among men. A majority of older Americans now stay in the labor force when they leave their career jobs. They retire gradually. In stages. For them, retirement Is not a one-time permanent event, but a process. For some, bridge jobs are a quality-of-life choice, a way to remain active and productive, often in a new line of work. For others, they are a financial necessity to augment inadequate retirement resources. We argue that bridge jobs are largely a positive phenomenon for individuals, employers, and the country as a whole. For individuals, continued work increases financial stability In old age and can provide non-pecuniary benefits as well. Employers are able to hire from a larger pool of experienced workers. Finally, the nation benefits from the additional goods and services produced, which somewhat alleviate the economic challenges of an aging population.

AB  - For almost forty years, U.S. policy has steadily advanced the idea of presumed employability for all people with disabilities. This includes people with the most significant disabilities employed in integrated jobs with commensurate pay that is at or above minimum wage. This article traces the factors that have contributed to the evolution of policy and practice that have led to improving the likelihood that integrated employment is both desired and achievable for individuals with significant disabilities. It also shares current U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Disability Employment Policy, activities and initiatives that promote and support the achievement of integrated employment for all people with disabilities.

N2  - The Current Employment Statistics (CES) survey, conducted by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, is a large monthly survey of businesses that produces timely estimates of employment, hours, and earnings by industry and geographic area. The survey produces estimates about three weeks after the week that includes the 12th of the month, and then produces revised estimates for the same reference period as additional responses for that reference period are collected over the next two months. This paper examines the distribution of response by several characteristics, and provides profiles of monthly revisions at the national, state, and metropolitan area level.

N2  - It is shown that an economy where agents with one dimensional skill choose among occupations as intermediate complementary inputs with different learning costs has an equilibrium hierarchy from the lowest cost/skill/wage occupations to the highest which agents will cascade along away from the skill level of new entrants. This can explain why differently/similarly skilled agents act like complements/substitutes. The distinction between lifetime wages including the learning cost and current wages implies a more elastic effect of immigration, but a more inelastic effect of the minimum wage. These conclusions don't rely on the typical assumptions of scale, preferences, or comparative advantage.

N2  - For the United States, there are currently two federal series of data that refer to household expenditures. One is produced by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, using the Consumer Expenditure Survey (CE), and the other is produced by the Bureau of Economic Analysis, personal consumption expenditures (PCE). Weights for the Consumer Price Index (CPI) are based on CE data. However, over the years, suggestions have been made to use PCE rather than the CE as the source of weights for the CPI. Much research had been conducted to reconcile differences in scope and definitions in the CE and PCE. Included in this paper is a review of these differences along with aggregate estimates that result when one accounts for the differences. Such an exercise is important; however, to compare trends in CE and PCE over time, a concordance of comparable items in both the CE and PCE is desirable. Independently, the BLS divisions responsible for the CE and CPI have produced concordances of the CE to PCE data; staff members at BEA have also produced their own concordances. These three independent exercises have resulted in three different concordances. In this paper, a new joint concordance, developed by staff in the BEA and BLS, is presented. Using this concordance, similarities and differences in the CE and PCE are highlighted along with trends in ratios of aggregate CE and PCE over the 1992 to 2010 time period. Aggregate expenditures and ratios of CE to PCE are produced for durables, non-durables, and services Results suggest that non-durables are most alike for the CE and PCE with about 93 percent of total non-durable expenditures identified as comparable within the CE and within the PCE. Regarding trends over time and focusing on comparable goods and services only, CE to PCE ratios have steadily decreased. For total comparable goods and services, CE to PCE ratios decreased from 84 percent for 1992 to 74 percent for 2010. The greatest decline in CE to PCE ratios is for durables, with a decrease of 24 percentage points. Ratios for comparable services dropped the least, with a percentage decrease of 10 percentage points.

N2  - School-age children need 10-11 hours of sleep per night. It has been well-documented that lack of sleep leads to diminished cognitive performance and that people who sleep less are more likely to be overweight or obese. I use data from the American Time Use Survey (ATUS) to examine two factors that can potentially influence the amount of time children sleep: school and maternal employment. I find that school-age children sleep less when school is in session than during the summer, and that they get less sleep on school nights than on non-school nights. Children go to bed about 38 minutes earlier on school nights, but wake up about 72 minutes earlier on school days. This translates into about 34 minutes less sleep on school nights compared with non-school nights, and implies that these children have a cumulative sleep deficit of over two-and-a-half hours by the time they arrive at school Friday morning. In addition to the lost sleep time, the earlier wake-up times on school days appear to disrupt children's natural sleep cycles. Maternal employment affects children's sleep time in the summer, because children wake up earlier on days that their mothers work. But during the school year, maternal employment effects are dominated by school effects.

N2  - The interaction between the exchange rate regime, trade firms' price-setting behavior, and exchange rate pass-through (ERPT) is an important topic in international economics. This paper studies this using a goods-level dataset of US-China trade prices collected by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. We document that the duration of US-China trade prices has declined almost 30% since China abandoned its hard peg to the US dollar in June 2005. A benchmark menu cost model that is calibrated to the data can replicate the documented decrease in price stickiness. We also estimate ERPT of RMB appreciation into US import prices between 2005 and 2008. Goods-level data allows us to estimate that the lifelong ERPT is close to one for goods that have at least one price change, but less than one-half when all goods are included. This finding can be attributed to the fact that around 40% of the goods in never experience a price change, and supports the hypothesis that price changes that take the form of product replacements may bias ERPT estimates downwards.

N2  - It is well known that earnings inequality in the United States has been on the rise over the last three decades. Compensation inequality, while much less studied, has been moving upward as well. Motivated in part by an attempt to explain a widening of inequality in the upper part of the distribution, Lemieux, MacLeod and Parent (2009) investigated the relationship between the use of performance pay schemes and wage inequality using the Panel Study of Income Dynamics. Viewing such a contractual arrangement as a channel through which rising demand for skill is translated into increased inequality, they estimated that pay for performance accounts for about one-fifth of the growth in the variance of male wages between the late 1970s and the early 1990s, and for almost all of the increase in wage inequality in the top quintile during the same period. In this paper, we also assess the relationship between performance pay and inequality, making a number of different contributions to the literature. First, the dataset we use, the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Employee Costs for Employee Compensation (ECEC), allows us to look at a much broader concept of pay than that used by LMP, which consists largely of hourly earnings inclusive of performance pay (bonuses, piece-rates and commissions). It is important to relate methods of pay to total compensation because any effects noted on wages may be offset or amplified when one moves to broader definitions of compensation. Second, there are numerous types of bonuses, not all of which fall under the rubric of pay for performance. While LMP are forced by the limitations in the PSID to treat all types of bonuses as being the same, in some of our analyses, we are able to distinguish among them. Third, while the LMP analysis ends in the mid-1990s, our investigation is of a more recent time period, 1994 to 2010. Finally, allowing greater precision in our estimates, our dataset is significantly larger than the PSID. Our results suggest that while the presence of performance pay jobs is associated with higher levels of inequality, such jobs have made only a modest contribution toward an increase in inequality in the period under study.

N2  - The empirical literature on compensating wage differentials has a mixed history. While there have been some successes, much of this literature finds weak support for the theory of equalizing differences. We argue that it is dispersion in total job values or "job dispersion" that leads to biased compensating wage differential estimates. We begin by demonstrating how job dispersion can lead to biased hedonic estimates. Then we take a partial equilibrium on-the-job search model with utility from non-wage job characteristics, structurally estimate it and then simulate a dataset. Using our simulated dataset, we conduct a detailed analysis of the sources of bias in hedonic wage estimates. While worker heterogeneity and job dynamics are important sources of job dispersion, a significant proportion of the variation in jobs can only be explained by the inherent randomness of job offers.

N2  - How have post-career transitions into and out of self-employment been impacted by the Great Recession? Research from the 1990s and 2000s has shown that the prevalence of self employment increases substantially later in life, partly because self employment provides older workers with opportunities and flexibility not found in wage-and-salary jobs. Post-career transitions into and out of self employment have also been identified as an important pathway to retirement among older Americans. This paper examines post-career self-employment transitions during the recent recession that began in late 2007 and during the ensuing lackluster recovery. We utilize the Health and Retirement Study (HRS), a nationally-representative longitudinal dataset of older Americans, to investigate the role of self-employment in the retirement transitions of HRS Core respondents over nearly two decades, from 1992 to 2010, with particular emphasis on the most recent years. We find that post-career transitions into and out of self employment remain common in the face of the Great Recession, and that health status, occupation, and financial variables continue to be important determinants of switches from wage-and-salary career employment to self-employed bridge jobs. The latest evidence confirms that self employment continues to be an important pathway to retirement even during recessionary times.

T1  - Are Gender Differences Emerging in the Retirement Patterns of the Early Boomers?

N2  - Controlling for career employment later in life, the retirement patterns of men and women in America have resembled one another for much of the past two decades. Is this relationship coming to an end? Recent research suggests that the retirement patterns of the Early Boomers--those born between 1948 and 1953--have diverged from those of earlier cohorts. Gender differences appear to be emerging as well in the way that career men and women exit the labor force, after nearly two decades of similarities. This paper explores these gender differences in detail to help determine whether we are witnessing a break in trend or merely a short-term occurrence. We use data on three cohorts of older Americans from the nationally-representative, longitudinal Health and Retirement Study (HRS) that began in 1992. We explore by gender the types of job transitions that occur later in life and explore, in particular, the role of four potentially relevant determinants: the presence of dependent children; a parent in need of caregiving assistance; occupational status on the career job; and self-employment status. We find that, among career men and women, child and parental caregiving are not significant drivers of the retirement transitions of the Early Boomers, all else equal. Gender differences that may exist with respect to these characteristics are therefore unlikely to lead to persistent gender differences in retirement patterns. In contrast, self employment continues to be a statistically significant determinant of bridge job transitions and phased retirement. This finding, combined with the fact that men are much more likely than women to be self employed later in life, could lead to some differences by gender going forward, though the impact is likely to be limited given that the large majority of older workers are in wage-and-salary employment. Older Americans--both men and women--are responding to their economic environment by working later in life and exiting the labor force gradually. While some determinants of these decisions likely impact men and women differently, gender differences with respect to the retirement patterns of the Early Boomers appear to be the result of broader macroeconomic forces. The evidence to date suggests that gender differences may dissipate as the recovery ensues.

N2  - Recent estimates in standard models of wage determination for both unionization and occupational licensing have shown wage effects that are similar across the two institutions. These cross-sectional estimates use specialized data sets, with small sample sizes, for the period 2006 through 2008. Our analysis examines the impact of unions and licensing coverage on wage determination using new data collected on licensing statutes that are then linked to longitudinal data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY79) from 1979 to 2010. We develop several approaches, using both cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses, to measure the impact of these two labor market institutions on wage determination. Our estimates of the economic returns to union coverage are greater than those for licensing requirements.

N2  - Production capital and technology (i.e., total factor productivity) in US manufacturing are fundamental for understanding output and productivity growth of the US economy but are unobserved at this level of aggregation and must be estimated before being used in empirical analysis. Previously, we developed a method for estimating production capital and technology based on an estimated dynamic structural economic model and applied the method using annual SIC data for 1947-1997 to estimate production capital and technology in US total manufacturing. In this paper, we update this work by reestimating the model and production capital and technology using annual SIC data for 1949-2001 and partly overlapping NAICS data for 1987-2005.

N2  - Previous research has shown that time preference affects individuals' market time allocation and own human capital investments. This paper uses data from the Current Population Survey-Tobacco Use Supplements, the American Time Use Survey, and the Panel Study of Income Dynamics-Child Development Supplement to examine how time preference, as measured by smoking behavior, affects mothers' time investments in their children under age 13 and children's future test scores. The results indicate that single mothers who smoke spend significantly less time with their children in educational activities, such as reading and homework, and sharing meals with their children than non-smokers. Their children also have lower reading test scores.

AB  - Vector autoregressive (VAR) models with error-correction structures (VECMs) that account for cointegrated variables have been studied extensively and used for further analyses such as forecasting, but only with single-frequency data. Both unstructured and structured VAR models have been estimated and used with mixed-frequency data. However, VECMs have not been studied or used with mixed-frequency data. The article aims partly to fill this gap by estimating a VECM using the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm and US data on four monthly coincident indicators and quarterly real GDP and, then, using the estimated model to compute in-sample monthly smoothed estimates and out-of-sample monthly forecasts of GDP. Because the model is treated as operating at the highest monthly frequency and the monthly-quarterly data are used as given (neither interpolated to all-monthly data, nor aggregated to all-quarterly data), the application is expected to be unbiased and efficient. A Monte Carlo analysis compares the accuracy of VECMs estimated with the given mixed-frequency data vs. with their single-frequency temporal aggregate. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

S. that resulted in job transfer, that is the injured worker continued to be at work but performed a different set of duties or restricted work or does less strenuous duties, has grown steadily over the past several decades. Fatal work injuries, while recordable under U. S. Occupational Safety & Health Administration(OSHA) rules, are tabulated separately by the Bureau through the annual Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries and it is classified in three categories which include cases with days away from work, cases with only job transfer or those with neither days away from work nor days of job transfer.

AB  - The article discusses publication by employment cost index( ECI). It states that the ECI is a measure of change in the cost of labor, without the influence of shifts in occupational and industry employment. It mentions that since the first seasonally adjusted ECI data were published in the December 1990 ECI news release, which contained 33 seasonally adjusted series, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has periodically introduced improvements to the publication of ECI seasonally adjusted data. It mentions that in September 1991, three more series were added to the list of candidates for seasonal adjustment, and 37 of the 46 series published in the seasonal adjustment table were seasonally adjusted.

AB  - Comments on an article by Alexander Kroll (see record [rid]2013-06177-010[/rid]). In the article, Alexander Kroll discusses research showing that public managers prefer using performance information that is not routinely reported. This is important because governments invest heavily in routine performance information; his finding, then, indicates a possible disconnect between policy and practice. Kroll argues that we should not be concerned that managers do not use routine performance information if they are responsive to other forms of feedback. Kroll rightly observes that routine information is not necessarily more valuable than nonroutine information. But we can say nothing about value unless we identify the source of the data, the recipient of the information, and their relationship. The performance of government organizations is subjective, and not just from a political perspective. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)

AB  - Previous research has shown that time preference affects individuals' market time allocation and own human capital investments. This paper uses data from the Current Population Survey-Tobacco Use Supplements, the American Time Use Survey, and the Panel Study of Income Dynamics-Child Development Supplement to examine how time preference, as measured by smoking behavior, affects mothers' time investments in their children under age 13 and children's future test scores. The results indicate that single mothers who smoke spend significantly less time with their children in educational activities, such as reading and homework, and sharing meals with their children than non-smokers. Their children also have lower reading test scores. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - We examine monthly variation in weekly work hours using data from 2003 to 2010. The data sources include the Current Population Survey (CPS) on hours/worker, the Current Employment Survey (CES) on hours/job, and the American Time Use Survey (ATUS) on both. The ATUS data minimize recall difficulties and constrain hours of work to accord with total available time. The ATUS hours/worker are less cyclical than the CPS series, but the hours/job are more cyclical than the CES series. We present alternative estimates of productivity based on ATUS data, and find that it is more pro-cyclical than other productivity measures.

T1  - Policy Makers Will Need A Way To Update Bundled Payments That Reflects Highly Skewed Spending Growth Of Various Care Episodes.

AB  - Bundled payment entails paying a single price for all services delivered as part of an episode of care for a specific condition. It is seen as a promising way to slow the growth of health care spending while maintaining or improving the quality of care. To implement bundled payment, policy makers must set base payment rates for episodes of care and update the rates over time to reflect changes in the costs of delivering care and the components of care. Adopting the fee-for-service paradigm of adjusting payments with uniform update rates would be fair and accurate if costs increased at a uniform rate across episodes. But our analysis of 2003 and 2007 US commercial claims data showed spending growth to be highly skewed across episodes: 10 percent of episodes accounted for 82.5 percent of spending growth, and within-episode spending growth ranged from a decline of 75 percent to an increase of 323 percent. Given that spending growth was much faster for some episodes than for others, a situation known as skewness, policy makers should not update episode payments using uniform update rates. Rather, they should explore ways to address variations in spending growth, such as updating episode payments one by one, at least at the outset. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: There is a consensus that statistical agencies should report medical data by disease rather than by service. This study computes price indexes that are necessary to deflate nominal disease expenditures and to decompose their growth into price, treated prevalence and output per patient growth. Unlike previous studies, it uses methods that can be implemented by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). For the calendar years 2005–2010, I find that these feasible disease based indexes are approximately 1% lower on an annual basis than indexes computed by current methods at BLS. This gives evidence that traditional medical price indexes have not accounted for the more efficient use of medical inputs in treating most diseases. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

It highlights job openings by industry and region and worker flow as demonstrated by hires and separations. Hiring data by industry and region and hires and job openings are also presented. The article also highlights the increase in number of people quitting their jobs during the past three years. The decrease in number of layoffs and discharges from 2010 to 2011 is also discussed. JOLTS data show that labor demand increased in 2012 but worker flow has been slower to increase.

N2  - Nurse practitioners, web developers, and fundraisers were among the occupations for which the Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) program published data for the first time as part of the May 2012 OES estimates release, which occurred on March 29, 2013. All of these occupations were added as part of the 2010 revision of the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system, used by federal government agencies producing statistical data. Although the OES program began implementing the 2010 SOC with the May 2010 OES release, because of unique features of the OES methodology, data for some new 2010 SOC occupations could not be published until the release of the May 2012 estimates. This article presents data highlights for occupations published for the first time in the May 2012 OES estimates; outlines the implementation of the 2010 SOC process; provides examples of different types of revisions to the SOC structure, ranging from minor editing changes to the addition of new occupations; and discusses the effects of these revisions on the OES data.

N2  - A teachers' strike in Chicago; a strike by machinists at an aircraft-manufacturing company in Texas, an air force base in California, and a naval air station in Maryland; and a lockout of utility workers in metropolitan New York City led the 21 major work stoppages that took place in 2012. Nineteen major work stoppages, each involving 1,000 or more employees, began in 2012. The top three stoppages, in terms of the number of days of idleness and the number of employees affected, consisted of two strikes and a lockout. The analysis that follows examines those three stoppages.

AB  - We describe a method of fusing, visualizing, and exploring multiple registered images called the image grand tour (IGT). The IGT is based on the grand tour idea for exploring high-dimensional data sets. In this article, we provide information on the general grand tour and show how this can be adapted to explore many linear combinations of the registered images in search of interesting structure and information. We provide several examples where the IGT is used for remote sensing, the search for rock art pictographs, and sensor fusion.

AB  - Objectives Global consensus is lacking, especially among developing countries, on whether agricultural work is detrimental to children's health and safety. We aimed to measure the degree to which Philippine children working in agriculture have a higher risk of injury compared with children working in other industries, and to uncover potential risk factors for their non-fatal injuries. Methods Using the Philippine Survey of Children (SOC) 2001, we calculated injury incidence rates and relative risk measures across industries, and employed a multivariate logistic regression on the sample of working children in agriculture to ascertain the association of various exposures with the occurrence of work-related injuries. Results Children working in agriculture had a fivefold risk of non-fatal injury compared to children working in other industries. Logistic regression indicated that the most robust risk factor for the occurrence of non-fatal injury was the use of tools (OR = 3.12). Conclusions The results of this study demonstrate agriculture to be a hazardous industry for children. Further research should focus on identifying the most dangerous tools and restricting their use.

AB  - For almost forty years, U.S. policy has steadily advanced the idea of presumed employability for all people with disabilities. This includes people with the most significant disabilities employed in integrated jobs with commensurate pay that is at or above minimum wage. This article traces the factors that have contributed to the evolution of policy and practice that have led to improving the likelihood that integrated employment is both desired and achievable for individuals with significant disabilities. It also shares current U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Disability Employment Policy, activities and initiatives that promote and support the achievement of integrated employment for all people with disabilities.

AB  - Econometric models are often developed by imposing a priori theoretical constraints that may not often be tested in a direct way. The advent of cointegration by Granger [6] and Engle and Granger [5] allows for the testing of the existence of potential equilibrium relationships as implied from economic theory. This paper applies cointegration and vector error correction models (VECM) to examine if the neoclassical labor demand models are consistent with the time series data for the United States. The first part of this assessment will test for a neoclassical labor demand equilibrium using a basic OLS model to test if a cointegration relationship does exist. The basic OLS approach confirmed the existence of a cointegration and further assessment is pursued to determine the extent of this cointegration and examine the short-run and long-run causality relationships. The conclusion of this paper confirmed that there exists of an equilibrium neoclassical labor demand relationship in the United States. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A combination of a slower growth of the civilian noninstitutional population and falling participation rates will lower labor force growth to a projected 0.5 percent annually.

N2  - Total employment in the U.S. economy is projected to grow by 15.6 million during the 2012-2022 decade to reach 161 million; this represents a 10.8-percent employment increase. Some of the fastest projected growth will occur in the healthcare, healthcare support, construction, and personal care fields. Together, these four occupational groups are expected to account for about one-third--more than 5.3 million--of all new jobs during this period.

N2  - Research is underway to help determine the best ways to improve the expenditure data generated by the Consumer Expenditure (CE) Survey, an ongoing survey that collects information on spending, income, and household characteristics. To determine how to optimally redesign the CE Survey, the Gemini Project was begun in 2009 with the goal of reducing measurement error, particularly error generally associated with underreporting, and with a secondary goal of halting or reversing the decline in response rates while also managing operational costs. The motivation, challenges, and independent expert recommendations for the redesign initiative are discussed in the article, along with data quality, respondent burden, and cost considerations associated with various potential CE Survey redesign features. The paper also discusses that an evaluation of the effectiveness of a survey redesign requires that a monitoring system identify the impact of each survey stage on measurement error and that it measure respondents' perceived burden. The article concludes by pointing out how current research results inform and align with the next steps planned for the CE Survey redesign process.

N2  - No one could have predicted the length of time that the economy has required to recover. A variety of economic headwinds have battered the recovery, causing output growth to be somewhat slower than was expected in prior projections. Over the coming decade, growth is expected to be gradual but persistent, bringing the unemployment rate down and returning the macroeconomy to a more stable position.

N2  - The broad array of data available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics on occupational safety and health may make it difficult to hone in on the root causes of workplace injuries and the strategies for preventing those injuries. This article uses descriptive statistics and trend analysis to develop a framework for enabling such investigations. The focus is on five factors--sequence of events, frequency of incidents, severity of injury, interaction of circumstances, and contributing factors--that, if taken into account as part of data analysis, may help data users uncover both root causes and effective preventive strategies.

N2  - This paper investigates whether breastfeeding affects 5- to 6-year old children's cognitive development using three U.S. longitudinal data sets. The results for the full samples roughly point to a dose-response effect of breastfeeding on children's cognitive outcomes, with breastfeeding six months or more associated with about one-tenth of a standard deviation increase in cognitive test scores. The breastfeeding effects do not appear to be due to differences in maternal employment, cognitive ability, or parenting skills. In contrast, within-sibling results show no statistically significant breastfeeding effect.

AB  - Purpose: Farmworkers frequently live in rural areas and experience high rates of depressive symptoms. This study examines the association between elevated depressive symptoms and health care utilization among Latino farmworkers. Methods: Data were obtained from 2,905 Latino farmworkers interviewed for the National Agricultural Workers Survey. Elevated depressive symptoms were measured using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression short-form. A dichotomous health care utilization variable was constructed from self-reported use of health care services in the United States. A categorical measure of provider type was constructed for those reporting use of health care. Results: Over 50% of farmworkers reported at least 1 health care visit in the United States during the past 2 years; most visits occurred in a private practice. The odds of reporting health care utilization in the United States were 45% higher among farmworkers with elevated depressive symptoms. Type of provider was not associated with depressive symptoms. Women were more likely to seek health care; education and family relationships were associated with health care utilization. Conclusions: Latino farmworkers who live and work in rural areas seek care from private practices or migrant/Community Health Clinics. Farmworkers with elevated depressive symptoms are more likely to access health care. Rural health care providers need to be prepared to recognize, screen, and treat mental health problems among Latino farmworkers. Outreach focused on protecting farmworker mental health may be useful in reducing health care utilization while improving farmworker quality of life.

AB  - Economists have argued that one function of fringe benefits is to reduce turnover. However, the effect on quits of the marginal dollar of benefits relative to wages is underresearched. We use the benefit incidence data in the 1979 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth and the cost information in the National Compensation Survey to impute benefit costs and estimate quit regressions. The quit rate is much more responsive to benefits than to wages, and total turnover even more so; benefit costs are also correlated with training provision. We cannot disentangle the effects of individual benefits due to their high correlation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Abstract: Using a dynamic equilibrium model of housing tenure choice with fully specified markets for homeownership and rental properties, and endogenous house prices and rents, this paper studies the effect of fundamentals on equilibrium house prices and rents. Lower interest rates, relaxed lending standards, and higher incomes are shown to account for approximately one-half of the increase in the U.S. house price–rent ratio between 1995 and 2006, and to generate the pattern of rapidly growing house prices, sluggish rents, increasing homeownership, and rising household indebtedness observed in the data.

AB  - We address basic questions about performance-related pay in the US. How widespread is it? What characteristics of employers and jobs are associated with it? What are recent trends in its incidence? What factors are responsible for these trends? Nearly two-fifths of hours worked in the US economy in 2013 were in jobs with performance-related pay, but this share has been declining. We consider several possible causes for this trend and find that they do not have much explanatory power. We do establish, however, that any potential explanation must also account for a long-term shift in the relative incidence of performance-related pay away from low-wage and toward high-wage jobs.

AB  - Needle trap device samplers were used for rapid (60 s) quantitative sampling of short-term exposure limit (STEL) and peak exposure standard concentrations using a manually operated pump to collect small volume (10 mL) gas phase samples containing methylene chloride, benzene, toluene, and tetrachloroethylene vapors. Solventless introduction of chemical samples for gas chromatography analysis with flame ionization detection yielded linear results (R2> 0.99) for vapor standard mixtures of the four target analytes ranging from 10% to 200% of their respective nominal STEL or peak exposure standard concentrations. Needle trap samplers showed ≥86% recovery (as GC-FID peak area responses) following 14-day storage at room temperature compared to the same samplers analyzed immediately, with better recovery values observed with shorter storage (≥95% at room temperature for seven days, except for methylene chloride) or with storage at 4°C. Calibration for quantitation of concentrations of benzene, toluene, and tetrachloroethylene was shown to be possible with the use of an internal standard to account for injector discrimination between the solventless NTD approach and injections of target analytes in carbon disulfide. Due to the simple sampling method (no field calibration and battery-free pumping) and the avoidance of solvent dilution, a needle trap sampling approach could simplify sample collection and analysis to chromatographically determine nearly instantaneous (1 min) exposure concentrations.

N2  - Work hours are key components in estimating productivity growth and hourly wages as well as being a useful cyclical indicator in their own right, so measuring them correctly is important. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) collects data on work hours in several surveys and publishes three widely-used series that measure average weekly hours. The series tell different stories about average weekly hours and trends in those hours but qualitatively similar stories about the cyclical behavior of work hours. The research summarized here explains the differences in levels, but only some of the differences in trends.

AB  - Objective: Improve understanding of the potential occupational health impact of how agricultural jobs are organized. Exposure to low job control, high psychological demands, and high job strain were hypothesized to have greater risk for poor self-rated physical health and elevated depressive symptoms. Methods: Cross-sectional data (N = 3691) obtained using the Work Organization and Psychosocial Factors module of the US National Agricultural Workers Survey fielded in 2009-2010. Results: More than one fifth (22.4%) of farmworkers reported fair/poor health, and 8.7% reported elevated depressive symptoms. High psychological demand was associated with increased risk of fair/poor health (odds ratio, 1.73; 95% confidence interval. 1.4 to 2.2) and elevated depressive symptoms (odds ratio, 2.6; 95% confidence interval, 1.9 to 3.8). Conclusions: The organization of work in field agriculture may pose risks for poor occupational health outcomes among a vulnerable worker population.

AB  - Noting limited attention by international development agencies to inequalities compared to global poverty, we ask how these two challenges have been framed in agencies’ policy publications during the past several decades. Following a recent application of algorithmic analysis to health policy narratives in the UK, we use text-mining software to compare the frequency of two alternative conceptualisations of poverty and inequality in three different document categories: the World Bank's World Development Reports, the United Nations Development Programme's (UNDP) Human Development Reports and a set of white papers by bilateral donor agencies. In a second step, we visualise each document's degree of contextual similarity in using the two conceptualisations of poverty and inequality with all documents in the same source category. We find that while references to poverty have, on average, been twice as prominent as references to inequality, conceptualisations of poverty and inequality as well as the textual contexts in which they appear differ both temporally and substantively between agencies included in our sample. We show how such agency-specific framing patterns can be leveraged politically to forge more effective social policy coalitions. We also outline follow-up research capable of capturing the politics of language underpinning our observations. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

AB  - The current human performance technology (HPT) model has remained largely unchanged since its introduction 17 years ago. This model and its cousins are implicitly, if not explicitly, linear in nature, visually encouraging practitioners to complete earlier phases before later ones. This article proposes a spiral human performance improvement (HPI) framework to capture what is happening in savvy practitioners' heads and what is happening over time as those practitioners move through the performance improvement (PI) process in the often messy and chaotic real world. The intent is not to replace existing models but rather to give us a different way to visualize, think about, and discuss how experts approach the PI process in the real world without being overly prescriptive. The spiral HPI framework provides a different way of seeing that dynamic process and having those discussions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - In his paper, Dr. Joseph Gastwirth argues that an income inequality indicator that combines the Gini coefficient with a measure that captures right skewness is a better measure to detect changes in the distribution that disproportionately favor upper income levels. Gastwirth proposes the indicator, G2, in which the mean/median is multiplied by the Gini coefficient, as a better measure of income inequality in such circumstances. In this paper, I consider whether G2 is a useful measure in Brazil and Mexico, two upper middle income countries that have historically high income inequality that appears to have decreased in the recent past. This paper suggests that G2 may be somewhat better than the Gini coefficient at capturing changes both in increasing income inequality and decreasing income inequality. In order to provide context for interpreting these results, I examine the quality of data on income inequality in both countries by analyzing the income-related questionnaires of the main household income and expenditure surveys for both countries. I find that although Mexico's household income survey does have more detailed questions on non-wage income than Brazil's household income survey, income estimates still fall below consumption estimates in both countries, which suggests consumption may be a better source of information on income inequality in both Brazil and Mexico.

AB  - Objective: Improve understanding of the potential occupational health impact of how agricultural jobs are organized. Exposure to low job control, high psychological demands, and high job strain were hypothesized to have greater risk for poor self-rated physical health and elevated depressive symptoms. Methods: Cross-sectional data (N = 3691) obtained using the Work Organization and Psychosocial Factors module of the US National Agricultural Workers Survey fielded in 2009–2010. Results: More than one fifth (22.4%) of farm workers reported fair/poor health, and 8.7% reported elevated depressive symptoms. High psychological demand was associated with increased risk of fair/poor health (odds ratio, 1.73; 95% confidence interval, 1.4 to 2.2) and elevated depressive symptoms (odds ratio, 2.6; 95% confidence interval, 1.9 to 3.8). Conclusions: The organization of work in field agriculture may pose risks for poor occupational health outcomes among a vulnerable worker population.

AB  - Social skills deficits are common to many individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and can be cause for much anxiety. Because these deficits include interactions with strangers and people in authority, many individuals with ASD have difficulty successfully managing job interviews. When given very specific examples of how to better present themselves and interact with others in an interviewing situation, individuals with ASD become more competent in positively altering their social interactions in employment situations. The keys to improving skills for interviews include understanding disclosure under the Americans with Disabilities Act, being aware of specific accommodations that can be helpful in the interviewing process, having a thorough self-knowledge, being as completely prepared as possible, and possessing verbal restraint. The increased confidence that comes from being prepared allows individuals to relax before and during the interview, transforming a nervous exchange of information into a confident and dynamic presentation of their qualifications.

N2  - We define a class of bias problems that arise when purchasers shift their expenditures among sellers charging different prices for units of precisely defined and interchangeable product items that are nevertheless regarded as different for the purposes of price measurement. For business-to-business transactions, these shifts can cause sourcing substitution bias in the Producer Price Index (PPI) and the Import Price Index (MPI), as well as potentially in the proposed new true Input Price Index (IPI). Similarly, when consumers shift their expenditures for the same products temporally to take advantage of promotional sales or among retailers charging different per unit prices, this can cause a promotions bias problem in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) or a CPI outlet substitution bias. We recommend alternatives to conventional price indexes that make use of unit values over precisely defined and interchangeable product items. We argue that our proposed ideal target indexes could greatly reduce these biases and make use of increasingly available electronic scanner data on prices and quantities. We also address the challenges national statistics agencies must surmount to produce price index measures more like the specified target ones.

N2  - Recent assessments of occupational licensing have shown varying effects of the institution on labor market outcomes. This study revisits the relationship between occupational licensing and labor market outcomes by analyzing a new topical module to the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP). Relative to previously available data, the topical module offers more detailed information on occupational licensing from government, with a larger sample size and access to a richer set of person-level characteristics. We exploit this larger and more detailed data set to examine the labor market outcomes of occupational licensing and how workers obtain these licenses from government. More specifically, we analyze whether there is evidence of a licensing wage premium, and how this premium varies with aspects of the regulatory regime such as the requirements to obtain a license or certification and the level of government oversight. After controlling for observable heterogeneity, including occupational status, we find that those with a license earn higher pay, are more likely to be employed, and have a higher probability of retirement and pension plan offers.

N2  - To what extent does hours flexibility in career employment impact the retirement process? Workplace flexibility policies have the potential to improve both the welfare of employees and the business outcomes of employers. These policies, and hours flexibility in particular for older Americans, have also been touted as a way to reduce turnover. For older Americans, reductions in turnover could mean more years in career employment, fewer years in bridge employment, and little or no impact on the timing of retirement. Alternatively, hours flexibility in career employment could lead to longer working lives and delayed retirements. The distinction between the two outcomes is important if hours flexibility policies, such as phased retirement, are to be considered an option for alleviating the strains of an aging society. This paper describes how hours flexibility in career employment impacts the retirement patterns of older Americans. We use data on three cohorts of older Americans from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS), a large nationally-representative dataset that began in 1992. We explore the extent to which hours flexibility arrangements are available and utilized in career employment and explore the extent to which such arrangements impact job transitions later in life. We find that bridge job prevalence is higher among those with access to hours flexibility in career employment compared to those without hours flexibility. Further, while we find mixed evidence that hours flexibility extends time in career employment, we do find that hours flexibility in career employment is associated with longer tenure on bridge jobs. Taken together these results suggest that hours flexibility in career employment is associated with extended work lives, particularly in post-career employment.

AB  - Abstract: Are minorities more vulnerable to opportunism? We find that individuals from a minority group face greater danger of being cheated because trade with them is less frequent and the value of a reputation for fairness toward them is correspondingly smaller. When the majority is sufficiently large it can only lose from a solidarity strategy of punishing opportunism against the minority, so a firm that cheats the minority can still continue business as usual with the majority. If there is a small chance that a firm might have an implicit or preference bias against either group, then the interaction with reputational incentives gives unbiased firms an incentive to cheat the minority but not the majority. The prediction that smaller groups are more susceptible to discrimination distinguishes the model from most other discrimination models. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

AB  - Before 2011, the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries captured data only on the firm that directly employed the decedent. While this is useful information, the firm directly employing the decedent is not always the firm at which the decedent was working at the time of the incident, such as when the person killed was a contractor. This visual essay looks at new data on contractors, highlighting some interesting similarities and differences between these workers and those who are not contractors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This paper quantifies the importance of nonwage job characteristics to workers by estimating a structural on-the-job search model. The model generalizes the standard search framework by allowing workers to search for jobs based on both wages and job-specific nonwage utility flows. Within the structure of the search model, data on accepted wages and wage changes at job transitions identify the importance of nonwage utility through revealed preference. The estimates reveal that utility from nonwage job characteristics plays an important role in determining job mobility, the value of jobs to workers, and the gains from job search.

AB  - Two sets of diagnostics are presented to evaluate the properties of generalized variance functions (GVFs) for a given sample survey. The first set uses test statistics for the coefficients of multiple regression forms of GVF models. The second set uses smoothed estimators of the mean squared error (MSE) of GVF-based variance estimators. The smooth version of the MSE estimator can provide a useful measure of the performance of a GVF estimator, relative to the variance of a standard design-based variance estimator. Some of the proposed methods are applied to sample data from the Current Employment Statistics survey. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - A model of employment change between 2007 and 2010 in the absence of the recession was compared with actual employment change as measured by the Current Population Survey. Not surprisingly, results show that actual employment was lower than the model predicted for all age groups; however, differences were much larger for younger workers. Full-time employment was much lower than the model predicted, while part-time employment was much higher. Actual employment change varied widely among occupation and industry groups, but nearly all groups had employment that was lower than the model predicted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - School-age children need 10-11 h of sleep per night. It has been well-documented that lack of sleep leads to diminished cognitive performance and that people who sleep less are more likely to be overweight or obese. I use data from the American Time Use Survey to examine two factors that can potentially influence the amount of time children sleep: school and maternal employment. I find that school-age children sleep less when school is in session than during the summer, and that they get less sleep on school nights than on non-school nights. Children go to bed about 38 min earlier on school nights, but wake up about 72 min earlier on school days. This translates into about 34 min less sleep on school nights compared with non-school nights, and implies that these children have a cumulative sleep deficit of over two-and-a-half hours by the time they arrive at school Friday morning. In addition to the lost sleep time, the earlier wake-up times on school days appear to disrupt children's natural sleep cycles. Maternal employment affects children's sleep time in the summer, because children wake up earlier on days that their mothers work. But during the school year, maternal employment effects are dominated by school effects.

This technical and political history explains both how and why the Bureau has come to produce a family of Consumer Price Indexes to address the challenge. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This article uses data from the Current Employment Statistics survey to examine changes in women's and men's employment during the 2007-2009 recession. The article also places these changes in historical context, comparing them with longer term employment trends observed throughout previous economic downturns. The analysis suggests that the resilience of women's employment during recessions resulted in women's holding an unprecedented 50 percent of nonfarm jobs during the most recent downturn. Women's employment has made some notable strides over the past several decades, strides that partly reflect the payroll growth of women in an expanding group of service-providing industries that employ more women than men.

AB  - The author reflects on the importance for women to volunteer in organizations that provide services to women. She cites author and activist Helen Keller who illustrates the value of volunteerism since it allows women to meet new people, broaden their support network and expose them to neighborhoods. The author also encourages women to never consider volunteering as burden, rather, as a way of helping others and empowering women.

AB  - Previous research published in the Monthly Labor Review has come to conflicting conclusions regarding whether survey respondents correctly report their weekly work hours. This article documents substantial inconsistencies in research claiming that the Current Population Survey overestimates hours worked and confirms that any such bias is small. It also explains the proper interpretation of figures that purport to show the relationship between measurement error in hours worked and reported hours. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - In recent years, the random noise method has been gaining wider use in National Statistical Institutes (NSIs) to protect respondent data from disclosure. The random noise method takes a micro-data approach to disclosure limitation: a multiplier (noise factor) is applied to each unit prior to tabulation - thus, guaranteeing that different tabulations, from the lowest to the highest level, are consistent. In this paper we evaluate two different random noise models in an applied context. Our analysis suggests that both the Basic Noise Model (BNM) and the Alternate Noise Model (ANM) are unsatisfactory for protecting smaller units. To overcome this difficulty, we developed a (third) Mixed Perturbation Model (MPM) that combines the use of multiplicative noise to protect large units with the use of synthetic models to protect the smaller units. To accomplish this, we constructed a hybrid model (first logistic and then linear) to generate the synthetic data. Results indicate that the mixed approach performs better than either of the other two models, both in terms of reliability and disclosure limitation, although it too has weaknesses. Hence, areas for future study remain that our research suggests might be tackled next. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - The growth of the contingent workforce presents many challenges in the occupational safety and health arena. State and federal laws impose obligations and rights on employees and employers, but contingent work raises issues regarding responsibilities to maintain a safe workplace and difficulties in collecting and reporting data on injuries and illnesses. Contingent work may involve uncertainty about the length of employment, control over the labor process, degree of regulatory, or statutory protections, and access to benefits under workers' compensation. The paper highlights differences in regulatory protections and benefits among various types of contingent workers and how these different arrangements affect safety incentives. It discusses challenges caused by contingent work for accurate data reporting in existing injury and illness surveillance and benefit programs, differences between categories of contingent work in their coverage in various data sources, and opportunities for overcoming obstacles to effectively using workers' compensation data.

AB  - Our application data are produced from a scalable, on‐line expert elicitation process that incorporates hundreds of participating raters to score the importance of research goals for the prevention of suicide with the purpose of informing policy making. We develop a Bayesian formulation for analysis of ordinal multirater data motivated by our application. Our model employs a non‐parametric mixture distribution over rater‐indexed parameters for a latent continuous response under a Poisson–Dirichlet process mixing measure that allows inference about distinct rater behavioural and learning typologies from realized clusters.

AB  - The article discusses a study on quality management of national statistical offices (NSO). The origins, possible changes and budgetary constraints of the A System for Product Improvement, Review and Evaluation (ASPIRE) framework as implemented by Statistics Sweden are taken into consideration. The inadequacy of total survey error (TSE) modeling is noted to be a limiting factor due to emphasis in qualitative assessment of accuracy.

AB  - The Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses (SOII) is the nation's primary surveillance vehicle for nonfatal injuries and illnesses that occur in the workplace. Based on recordable injuries and illnesses as defined by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the SOII provides annual counts and rates by industry and state for workers in private industry and state and local government. In addition, the SOII provides details about the most severe injuries and illnesses, including characteristics of the workers involved and details of the circumstances surrounding the incident. To accompany articles that discuss research into the completeness of SOII data, this commentary provides an overview of the SOII. Included is information about the history of capturing data on workplace injuries and illnesses, current survey processes, annual outputs, and an introduction to the current concerns about underreporting.

AB  - Background Aggregate workplace injury and illness rates have generally declined over the past quarter century. Assessing which industries contributed to these declines is hampered by industry coding changes that broke time series data. Materials and methods Ratios were estimated to convert older incidence rate data to current industry codes and to create long industry time series from data of the BLS Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses. These data were used to assess contributions to aggregate trends from within-industry incidence rate trends and across-industry hours shifts. Results Hours shifts toward safer industries do not explain aggregate incidence rate declines. Rather declines resulted from within-industry declines. The top 20 contributors out of 307 industries account for 40 percent of the decline and include both goods-producing and service-providing industries. Conclusion These data help focus future research on industries responsible for rate declines and factors hypothesized as contributing to declines. Am. J. Ind. Med. 57:1149-1164, 2014. Published 2014.

AB  - On March 20, 2014, I had the pleasure of addressing the annual meeting of the American Academy of Economic and Financial Experts as keynote speaker. The topic of my speech was how to obtain and use data from the Consumer Expenditure Survey. Not only did this presentation allow me the opportunity to describe this rich and useful source of data to an interested and appreciative audience, it allowed me the chance to do so fo r an audience in whose use of the data 1 have long been interested. For several years, I have been aware that these data have been used in legal matters, such as resolving wrongful death disputes, personal injury cases, family law, and other important matters. While I have occasionally happened upon sessions at conferences wherein someone from this field has presented such material, this event was my first opportunity to meet so many experts in this field at one time. The article is based on the speech that I delivered, with the hope that those readers who were unable to attend may benefit. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - In the latest recession, employment supported by U.S. consumer spending declined by an estimated 3.2 million jobs between 2007 and 2010, over a third of total job declines during that time frame. Compared with the overall economy, consumer-related employment demonstrated relative resilience, recovering in 2012. Through 2022, consumer spending is projected to support stable job growth with increasing expenditures on labor-intensive services like health care. However, consumer spending and its related employment are projected to grow slower than in the past and at rates similar to the overall economy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Data from the BLS National Compensation Survey show that access to employer-provided health insurance declined from 1991 to 2002, chiefly because of narrower access among part-time workers. Then, from 2003 to 2012, access exhibited a significant further drop and participation also fell significantly. Over the latter period, nonunion workers, part-time employees, and lower wage workers, as well as those employed at small establishments, had a lower incidence of employer-provided health insurance.

AB  - We present the results of photometric observations carried out with four small telescopes of the asteroid 4 Vesta in the B, RC, and z' bands at a minimum phase angle of 0.1°. The magnitudes, reduced to unit distance and zero phase angle, were MB(1, 1, 0)=3.83±0.01, MRC(1, 1, 0)=2.67±0.01, and Mz'(1, 1, 0) = 3.03 ± 0.01 mag. The absolute magnitude obtained from the IAU H - G function is ~0.1 mag darker than the magnitude at a phase angle of 0° determined from the Shevchenko function and Hapke models with the coherent backscattering effect term. Our photometricmeasurements allowed us to derive geometric albedos of 0.35 in the B band, 0.41 in the RC band, and 0.31 in the z' bands by using the Hapke model with the coherent backscattering effect term. Using the Hapke model, the porosity of the optically active regolith on Vesta was estimated to be ρ =0.4-0.7, yielding a bulk density of 0.9-2.0 × 103 kg m-3. It is evident that the opposition effect for Vestamakes a contribution not only to the shadow-hiding effect, but also the coherent backscattering effect that appears from ~1°. The amplitude of the coherent backscatter opposition effect for Vesta increases with a brightening of reflectance. By comparison with other solar system bodies, we suggest that multiple-scattering on an optically active scale may contribute to the amplitude of the coherent backscatter opposition effect (BC0).

AB  - Recent assessments of occupational licensing have shown varying effects of the institution on labor market outcomes. This study revisits the relationship between occupational licensing and labor market outcomes by analyzing a new topical module to the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP). Relative to previously available data, the topical module offers more detailed information on occupational licensing from government, with a larger sample size and access to a richer set of personlevel characteristics. We exploit this larger and more detailed data set to examine the labor market outcomes of occupational licensing and how workers obtain these licenses from government. More specifically, we analyze whether there is evidence of a licensing wage premium, and how this premium varies with aspects of the regulatory regime such as the requirements to obtain a license or certification and the level of government oversight. After controlling for observable heterogeneity, including occupational status, we find that those with a license earn higher pay, are more likely to be employed, and have a higher probability of retirement and pension plan offers.

AB  - Thoroughly characterizing and continuously monitoring the public health workforce is necessary for ensuring capacity to deliver public health services. A prerequisite for this is to develop a standardized methodology for classifying public health workers, permitting valid comparisons across agencies and over time, which does not exist for the public health workforce. An expert working group, all of whom are authors on this paper, was convened during 2012–2014 to develop a public health workforce taxonomy. The purpose of the taxonomy is to facilitate the systematic characterization of all public health workers while delineating a set of minimum data elements to be used in workforce surveys. The taxonomy will improve the comparability across surveys, assist with estimating duplicate counting of workers, provide a framework for describing the size and composition of the workforce, and address other challenges to workforce enumeration. The taxonomy consists of 12 axes, with each axis describing a key characteristic of public health workers. Within each axis are multiple categories, and sometimes subcategories, that further define that worker characteristic. The workforce taxonomy axes are occupation, workplace setting, employer, education, licensure, certification, job tasks, program area, public health specialization area, funding source, condition of employment, and demographics. The taxonomy is not intended to serve as a replacement for occupational classifications but rather is a tool for systematically categorizing worker characteristics. The taxonomy will continue to evolve as organizations implement it and recommend ways to improve this tool for more accurate workforce data collection.

AB  - Though it has been more than 25 years since Tom Peters wrote about 'the notion that design should be considered a valuable corporate asset,' that imperative is even more compelling today. Given both globalization and the rapid advance of technology, a major way that businesses can gain a competitive advantage is through disruptive innovation. To achieve such disruptive innovation, organizations need inspiring leaders who embrace transformational change; who hire and reward creative thinkers and risk-takers; who create and cultivate a compelling vision that obsesses on customer-satisfaction; who nurture a culture in which they create, reinforce, and model values in an environment that enables creativity, experimentation, prototyping, and collaboration. What Peters pointed out then is still true today: Design managers and leaders must make the business case for the strategic value of design upfront and throughout the organization so that the kind of thinking that is based on observation and other data-gathering methods, ideation, and implementation keeps the customers front and center and contributes to the business strategy. For when both business and design leaders understand and share the mindset that design drives business value, then we can move forward with effective human-centered solutions to complex customer, organizational, and societal issues. When Tom Peters makes the case for design as a business resource, he delivers his message with wit, clarity, and a wealth of down-to-earth examples. In the arena of products, he hails perception as 'all there is,' and notes how design shapes perception. With respect to being close to customers-be they employees, suppliers, or consumers-design is cited as a bridge to these constituencies. And in the realm of organizational management, design is celebrated as responsive leadership, as loving change, and as being passionate about quality and detail. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - We consider a multiple mismeasured regressor errors-in-variables model. We develop closed-form minimum distance estimators from any number of estimating equations, which are linear in the third and higher cumulants of the observable variables. Using the cumulant estimators alters qualitative inference relative to ordinary least squares in two applications related to investment and leverage regressions. The estimators perform well in Monte Carlos calibrated to resemble the data from our applications. Although the cumulant estimators are asymptotically equivalent to the moment estimators from Erickson and Whited (2002), the finite-sample performance of the cumulant estimators exceeds that of the moment estimators.

N2  - Using data from the Survey of Consumer Finances (SCF), we found that on average over the period from 1989 to 2007, about one fifth of American households at a given point of time reported a wealth transfer and these accounted for quite a sizeable figure, about a quarter of their net worth. Over the lifetime, about 30 percent of households could expect to receive a wealth transfer and these would account for close to 40% of their net worth near time of death. However, there is little evidence of an inheritance "boom." In fact, from 1989 to 2007, the share of households reporting a wealth transfer fell by 2.5 percentage points, a time trend statistically significant at the one percent level. The average value of inheritances received among all households did increase but at a slow pace, by 10%; the time trend is not statistically significant. Wealth transfers as a proportion of current net worth fell sharply over this period, from 29 to 19, though the time trend once again is not statistically significant. We also found that inheritances and other wealth transfers tend to be equalizing in terms of the distribution of household wealth, though a number of caveats apply to this result.

AB  - Hazardous atmospheres in confined spaces may be obvious when a source of air contamination or oxygen (O2) deficiency is recognized. Such is often the case in general industry settings, especially with work processes which create hazardous atmospheres that may be anticipated. Hazards present in active sewers are also well recognized; but the possibility that O2deficiency or high airborne contaminant concentrations may exist in new construction sewers or storm drains has been repeatedly ignored with deadly results. Low O2and high carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations may exist in new construction manholes that have not yet been connected to an active sewer or drain system, and these concentrations have been shown to vary over time. A recent incident is described where workers repeatedly entered such a confined space without incident, but subsequent entry resulted in a fatality and a near-miss for a co-worker rescuer. Additional cases are discussed, with an emphasis placed on elevated CO2concentrations as a causative factor. A description is provided for the adsorptive gas chromatography whole-air analysis methodology used to quantitatively determine atmospheric conditions present at this type of fatality site or others after an incident, and for the gas chromatography-mass spectrometry method used to provide confirmation of analyte identity with high certainty. Many types of confined spaces may be encountered in addition to the underground varieties discussed, and many possible atmospheric hazards are possible. The definitive whole-air analysis approach described here may be of use and should be considered to investigate many confined space fatality and near-miss cases, and to better understand the causes of dangerous atmosphere conditions that may arise in confined spaces.

AB  - Increasing nonresponse rates in federal surveys and potentially biased survey estimates are a growing concern, especially with regard to establishment surveys. Unlike household surveys, not all establishments contribute equally to survey estimates. With regard to agricultural surveys, if an extremely large farm fails to complete a survey, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) could potentially underestimate average acres operated among other things. In order to identify likely nonrespondents prior to data collection, the USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) began modeling nonresponse using Census of Agriculture data and prior Agricultural Resource Management Survey (ARMS) response history. Using an ensemble of classification trees, NASS has estimated nonresponse propensities for ARMS that can be used to predict nonresponse and are correlated with key ARMS estimates.

AB  - Large-scale establishment surveys often exhibit substantial temporal or cross-sectional variability in their published standard errors. This article uses a framework defined by survey generalized variance functions to develop three sets of analytic tools for the evaluation of these patterns of variability. These tools are for (1) identification of predictor variables that explain some of the observed temporal and cross-sectional variability in published standard errors; (2) evaluation of the proportion of variability attributable to the abovementioned predictors, equation error and estimation error, respectively; and (3) comparison of equation error variances across groups defined by observable predictor variables. The primary ideas are motivated and illustrated by an application to the U.S. Current Employment Statistics program. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This article considers the familiar but very important problem of how to estimate the mean squared error (MSE) of seasonally adjusted and trend estimators produced by X-11-ARIMA or other decomposition methods. The MSE estimators are obtained by defining the unknown target components such as the trend and seasonal effects to be the hypothetical X-11 estimates of them that would be obtained if there were no sampling errors and the series were sufficiently long to allow the use of the symmetric filters embedded in the programme, which are time invariant. This definition of the component series conforms to the classical definition of the target parameters in design-based survey sampling theory, so that users should find it comfortable to adjust to this definition. The performance of the MSE estimators is assessed by a simulation study and by application to real series obtained from an establishment survey carried out by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in the U.S.A.

AB  - Statistical agencies often collect sensitive data for release to the public at aggregated levels in the form of tables. To protect confidential data, some cells are suppressed in the publicly released data. One problem with this method is that many cells of interest must be suppressed in order to protect a much smaller number of sensitive cells. Another problem is that the covariates used to aggregate and level of aggregation must be fixed before the data is released. Both of these restrictions can severely limit the utility of the data. We propose a new disclosure limitation method that replaces the full set of microdata with synthetic data for use in producing released data in tabular form. This synthetic data set is obtained by replacing each unit's values with a weighted average of sampled values from the surrounding area. The synthetic data is produced in a way to give asymptotically unbiased estimates for aggregate cells as the number of units in the cell increases. The method is applied to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages data, which is released to the public quarterly in tabular form and aggregated across varying scales of time, area, and economic sector.

AB  - Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997, this article examines the process of household formation for young adults born between 1980 and 1984. The analysis finds that, by age 27, about 90 percent of these individuals had left their parental households at least once and more than 50 percent of them had moved back at some point after moving out. The article also reveals that the likelihood of moving out and boomeranging back is correlated with certain individual and family characteristics, including gender, race, educational attainment, and household income.

AB  - Analysis of Current Employment Statistics and area data shows that employment recovery since the 2007-2009 recession is concentrated in certain sectors. In California, technology sectors have had notably strong recoveries. High concentrations of employment in the technology sectors have driven the total nonfarm employment recovery in northern California. Southern California, which has proportionally less technology employment, has experienced a slower recovery. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - This article is divided into two parts. In the first part, we review and study the properties of single-stage cross-sectional and time series benchmarking procedures that have been proposed in the literature in the context of small area estimation. We compare cross-sectional and time series benchmarking empirically, using data generated from a time series model which complies with the familiar Fay-Herriot model at any given time point. In the second part, we review cross-sectional methods proposed for benchmarking hierarchical small areas and develop a new two-stage benchmarking procedure for hierarchical time series models. The latter procedure is applied to monthly unemployment estimates in Census Divisions and States of the USA.

N2  - This paper estimates human capital externalities across U.S. states, using the Current Population Survey (CPS) and state-level data. By directly controlling for individual job characteristics and state labor market conditions, we can identify the human capital externality in an augmented Mincerian model. We find that an extra year of state-level average schooling increases individual wages by five percent above and beyond the private return to education. Subsequent analysis finds that the estimated externality is larger in highly-educated, highly-innovative states. These results imply that the positive coefficient for state-level schooling is in fact an externality and that differences in human capital externalities can help explain "The Great Divergence" in wages between geographic areas with highly-skilled workers versus those with low-skilled workers.

AB  - This article examines the relationship between performance-based pay and widening wage inequality using data from the Employer Costs for Employee Compensation (ECEC). The results suggest that jobs using performance-based pay have made only a modest contribution to increased inequality during the 1994 to 2010 period. These results contrast with those reported by Lemieux, MacLeod, and Parent (2009), who investigated the relationship between performance-based pay and wage inequality using the Panel Study of Income Dynamics. They found that pay for performance accounted for about one-fifth of the growth in the variance of male wages between the late 1970s and the early 1990s, and for almost all of the increase in wage inequality in the top quintile during the same period.

AB  - The Current Employment Statistics (CES) program of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) conducted a customer outreach survey in early 2014 to evaluate customer satisfaction with the program, which produces monthly estimates of employment, hours, and earnings using payroll records from a sample of business establishments. CES data users reported being most interested in major industry and industry sector employment from the CES program. More users are interested in statewide data than in national data. Additionally, users prefer news releases and BLS databases to obtain CES data and information over other CES products, such as Current Employment Statistics Highlights, Monthly Labor Review articles, and technical notes. The overwhelming majority of CES data providers reported that they are unfamiliar with the CES program and its outputs. Overall, however, CES stakeholders are satisfied with the quality and quantity of the CES data and publications, revisions, and customer service. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - We study 2001-2004 and 2004-2007 rent growth of 18,000 rental units, ending our study prior to the Great Recession. Which variables correlate with rent growth: Location? Age? Rent level? Occupancy duration? Structure type? The answers deepen understanding of the rental market, help statistical agencies make decisions about sample stratification and substitution, and expose coverage problems. We document significant rent stickiness. Initial relative rent level is the best predictor, though mainly due to mean reversion. "Location" comes in second, though often not statistically significantly: the relative value of location is persistent. Age and occupancy duration are also notable. Our findings are reassuring to statistical agencies.

AB  - This paper examines how neighborhood quality affects young adults’ educational outcomes, and whether neighborhood effects are moderated by cognitive test scores and other proxies for investments during childhood. The empirical results imply that high cognitive test scores help young adults overcome the effects of having lived in a disadvantaged neighborhood during adolescence with respect to attainment of a high school diploma and enrollment in a two- or four-year college. The results are robust to using alternative proxies for investments in children, such as mother's highest grade completed and measures of non-cognitive skills. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - As the 21st century unfolds there is substantial evidence that biological research is experiencing extraordinary scientific and technological advances. Prominent among these advances are the completion of the Human Genome Project, which laid the foundation for the second advance, the Human Microbiome Project. Emerging from these advances are two overarching conclusions: a) genomics is no longer the sole domain of the geneticist, and b) we each are hosts to trillions of microorganisms. Genomics and other technologies have enhanced efforts to characterize the structure, composition, and functions of the microbiome. This characterization has fueled progress in understanding the role of the microbiome in health and disease. In this review, we highlight developments that have helped illuminate the microbiome-health connection. This information can improve an understanding of connections and relationships among multiple factors (or determinants) of health.

AB  - We test the hypothesis that the choice to include a sunset provision increases the likelihood that a bill becomes law. We develop a model where the legislator's knowledge of the increase in passage probability from including a sunset provision influences the legislator's choice to do so. Because legislators may either include a sunset provision to increase passage probability, or observe low passage probability and respond with a sunset provision, the choice to include a sunset provision is endogenous. Consequently, the causal effect of temporary enactment is identified by using the legislator's number of offspring as a source of exogenous variation in the choice to include a sunset provision. Employing recursive bivariate probit, we find that the average causal effect of including a sunset provision is sixty percent. We also find that the average causal effect of including sunset provisions in bills that already include them is about twenty percent. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This paper examines what is known about error in the U.S. Consumer Expenditure Survey (CE). It reviews likely sources of error in consumer expenditure surveys and describes the various approaches that have been used to evaluate estimates from the CE in the United States and from similar surveys around the world. In the United States, many efforts to assess the quality of the CE have compared CE estimates to estimates from other surveys or from the National Income and Product Accounts (NIPA). In addition, other studies have used data internal to the CE in an attempt to assess the level of error. We review studies that take each of these approaches and assess their strengths and weaknesses. Our review shows that, as with other national and international surveys on household spending, the direction and magnitude of measurement errors in the CE are not well understood. The general impression that the CE expenditure estimates are dominated by underreporting is based largely on comparisons of the CE with NIPA estimates. However, other results suggest that the magnitude and direction of errors in the CE depend on the expenditure category examined, characteristics of the respondent and the survey protocol, and the method used to assess these errors. New research clearly is needed to understand the sources of error in surveys collecting consumer expenditure data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Psychiatric aides and technicians are experiencing high rates of nonfatal occupational injury and illness due to violence in the workplace by patients. For psychiatric aides, the rate is 69 times higher than the national rate of violence in the workplace, and for psychiatric technicians it is 38 times higher. The rates for these two occupations were different from each other even though psychiatric aides and technicians have similar job environments and duties. This article analyzes the similarities and differences of these occupations, gives a brief overview of psychiatric practices in the United States, and looks at areas where more research could be conducted to help prevent future injuries and illnesses for people in these occupations.

AB  - Nonresponse is a common problem in household surveys, including the Consumer Expenditure Survey (CE). Methods to adjust for this problem have been in place for several years for many key items collected in the CE, including expenditures and income. Besides income, another important variable in analyzing expenditure patterns is taxes, because consumers presumably make expenditure and savings decisions based on after-tax income. However, before the data collected in 2013 were published, no mechanism was in place to adjust for nonresponse to tax questions. Data collection then changed in 2013 when TAXSIM, a model developed by the National Bureau of Economic Research, was introduced into the production process. The improvement in data quality was immediately evident: The percentage of consumer units for which tax data are available, along with average tax values calculated, increased substantially. In addition, levels of savings, computed as after-tax income less total expenditures, fell as expected. These results are observed for the population as a whole and for demographic groups within the population. This article includes details of the TAXSIM model and additional examples of how data quality improved because of its use in processing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Using data from the Consumer Expenditure Interview Survey, this article examines travel expenditures--both in general and for specific expense categories--on domestic and international trips for the 2005-2013 period. It describes patterns of spending, along with trip characteristics (e.g., destination and length of stay), against the backdrop of the recent recession and subsequent recovery. Consistent with previous research, the analysis finds that the business cycle has an effect on travel patterns, but that this effect is more pronounced for international than for domestic trips.

AB  - The article presents the author's response to comments made by Drs. Miguel Bruno and Celia Lessa Kerstenetzky on her paper "Using G2 to measure income inequality in two Latin American upper middle income countries." The author clarifies that the household income data she used for her paper was downloaded in June 2014, but the World Bank updated its PovcalNet database in October. She acknowledges her failure of considering the reasons of the decline in income inequality in Mexico and Brazil.

AB  - The Current Employment Statistics program publishes detailed employment data each month. Because the data are subject to multiple revisions, end users often need access to information that details how the data have changed over time. Vintage data tables are a valuable tool, providing users with all published data, from original estimates to the most up-to-date figures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - U.S. nonfarm payroll employment continued to grow steadily in 2014, adding 3.1 million jobs, according to the Current Employment Statistics (CES) survey. This article uses CES data to discuss how private and public industry employment, hours, and earnings changed over the year. Job gains in 2014 were widespread across industries, with all broad industry groups experiencing employment increases. Employment growth was concentrated in the service-providing sector and led by industries that have been adding jobs for some time. However, even goods-producing industries saw an uptick in employment growth over the year. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - In 2012, the rates of fatal injuries and nonfatal injuries and illnesses of truck drivers of both heavy and tractor-trailer and smaller delivery trucks were higher than the average of all private industry occupations. From 2003 to 2007, the number of fatal injuries for truck drivers, particularly tractortrailer drivers, increased. However, during the economic downturn, fatal injuries decreased, with the lowest in 2009. Most fatal injuries were transportation incidents. Nonfatal injuries and illnesses of truck drivers decreased from 2003 to 2012. Most nonfatal injuries and illnesses were not transportation incidents but were incidents of overexertion and bodily reaction; falls, slips, and trips; and contact with object or equipment.

AB  - Background Relatively little is known about seasonal patterns in occupational injury risk. Injury risk may vary seasonally due to weather-related factors or changing work exposure. Employer confusion about recordkeeping rules and injury occurrence near year end may also lead to an undercount of year-end injuries. Methods Case records from the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses and Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries were used to determine seasonality for a variety of injury types. Results Reported injury rates were higher in summer and lower at year end. Difficult-to-identify injuries showed greater year-end incidence declines. Conclusions End-of-year injury declines may have reflected reporting errors for some injury types. The summertime increase in injury risk was broad-based and presumably reflected real seasonal factors. Am. J. Ind. Med. 58:519-527, 2015. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The corrections are present in the erratum.] We examine the factor structure of scores from the CLASS‐S protocol obtained from observations of middle school classroom teaching. Factor analysis has been used to support both interpretations of scores from classroom observation protocols, like CLASS‐S, and the theories about teaching that underlie them. However, classroom observations contain multiple sources of error, most predominantly rater errors. We demonstrate that errors in scores made by two raters on the same lesson have a factor structure that is distinct from the factor structure at the teacher level. Consequently, the 'standard' approach of analyzing on teacher‐level average dimension scores can yield incorrect inferences about the factor structure at the teacher level and possibly misleading evidence about the validity of scores and theories of teaching. We consider alternative hierarchical estimation approaches designed to prevent the contamination of estimated teacher‐level factors. These alternative approaches find a teacher‐level factor structure for CLASS‐S that consists of strongly correlated support and classroom management factors. Our results have implications for future studies using factor analysis on classroom observation data to develop validity evidence and test theories of teaching and for practitioners who rely on the results of such studies to support their use and interpretation of the classroom observation scores.

AB  - Purpose of the Study: Older Americans contemplating retirement today face a very different economic environment than prior cohorts did. This article examines whether the retirement patterns of older Americans have changed as a result. Design and Methods: Using data from 10 waves of the Health and Retirement Study (HRS), we examine the prevalence of bridge jobs, phased retirement, and labor market reentry among 3 recent cohorts of older Americans, from 1992 through 2010. Determinants of retirement transitions are examined using bivariate comparisons and multivariate logistic and multinomial logistic regression models. Results: We find that traditional one-time, permanent exits from the labor force continue to be the exception rather than the rule and that the retirement patterns of the Early Boomers, those on the cusp of retirement during the recent Great Recession, appear to be diverging from those of earlier cohorts. The Early Boomer women, in particular, were more likely than those in previous cohorts, the HRS Core and the HRS War Babies, to move to a bridge job prior to exiting the labor force completely and both Early Boomer men and women were more likely to leave their career jobs involuntarily, with layoffs being a key factor. Implications: The 'do-it-yourself' approach to retirement planning—with individuals managing a large portion of their retirement finances—is now common among older Americans. This change in the retirement environment, combined with a significant and persistent cyclical downturn, may have long-lasting effects and suggests that the concept of retirement in the United States will continue to evolve.

AB  - To help mark the Monthly Labor Review's centennial, the editors invited several producers and users of BLS data to take a look back at the last 100 years. This installment of the anniversary series comes from the Bureau's Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) program. JOLTS produces labor demand data on job openings, hires, and separations in the United States. The first section of this article provides a brief overview of the JOLTS program. The second section examines the availability and definitions of labor demand data from other countries. Analyses of countries with comparable data are discussed in the final section.

AB  - Using data from the National Compensation Survey, this article examines compensation inequality measures and trends over the 2007-2014 period. The analysis suggests that inequality measures based on total compensation (i.e., wages plus costs of employer-provided benefits) are higher than measures based solely on wages. It also points to an increase in inequality over the study period—an increase largely driven by a growing compensation gap between high- and low-earning occupations—and considerable intraoccupational inequality.

AB  - Computational linguistics encompasses a broad range of ideas and research areas, and only a brief introduction is possible here. We chose to include areas in computational linguistics where statisticians can contribute, hoping to provide inspiration to the reader. We describe three main aspects of this discipline-formal languages, information retrieval, and machine learning. These support the overarching goal, which is the representation and analysis of meaning from unstructured text. We then provide an example where text analysis has been applied to unstructured text fields in survey records and conclude with some applications and computational resources.

AB  - We study 2001-2004 and 2004-2007 rent growth of 18,000 rental units, ending our study prior to the Great Recession. Which variables correlate with rent growth: Location? Age? Rent level? Occupancy duration? Structure type? The answers deepen understanding of the rental market, help statistical agencies make decisions about sample stratifi cation and substitution, and expose coverage problems. We document signifi cant rent stickiness. Initial relative rent level is the best predictor, though mainly due to mean reversion. "Location" comes in second, though often not statistically signifi cantly: the relative value of location is persistent. Age and occupancy duration are also notable. Our fi ndings are reassuring to statistical agencies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - In many developing countries consumption of animal source foods (ASF) among the poor is still at a level where increasing its share in total caloric intake may have many positive nutritional benefits. This paper explores whether ownership of different livestock species increases consumption of ASF and helps improving child nutritional status, finding some evidence that both food consumption patterns and nutritional outcomes may be affected by livestock ownership in rural Uganda. Our results are suggestive that promoting (small) livestock ownership has the potential for affecting human nutrition in rural Uganda, but further research is needed to more precisely estimate the direction and size of these effects.

AB  - New federal legislation makes all unemployment compensation taxable income, allows some professional employer organizations to take a Federal Unemployment Tax Act credit and precludes other such organizations from doing so, and gives the states funds for certain job search and placement services rendered to unemployment insurance claimants. State enactments focus on the widespread establishment and regulation of work-sharing programs and implement changes in a number of areas, including nonmonetary eligibility for, administration of, and financing of unemployment compensation.

AB  - Employer-provided sick leave plans generally provide pay protection to ill or injured workers. Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics show that other benefits also may be used to protect workers from loss of income. This article explores the range of benefits available for pay protection and looks at how certain unique plans are treated in the BLS statistics. Further, the article examines the uses of sick leave and other pay protection plans, especially for family leave issues. What is known about various pay protection benefits is identified, as is a series of unknowns: issues related to pay protection that aren't currently identified in BLS surveys. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Reports an error in 'Uncovering multivariate structure in classroom observations in the presence of rater errors' by Daniel F. McCaffrey, Kun Yuan, Terrance D. Savitsky, J. R. Lockwood and Maria O. Edelen (Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2015[Sum], Vol 34[2], 34-46). In the original article, there was an error in the article’s copyright and Acknowledgments section. The article’s copyright is owned by Educational Testing Service and not the National Council on Measurement in Education as originally published. This research was supported by a grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (52048). The opinions expressed are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent views of the Foundation. The corrections are present in the erratum. (The following abstract of the original article appeared in record [rid]2015-27743-007[/rid]). We examine the factor structure of scores from the CLASS‐S protocol obtained from observations of middle school classroom teaching. Factor analysis has been used to support both interpretations of scores from classroom observation protocols, like CLASS‐S, and the theories about teaching that underlie them. However, classroom observations contain multiple sources of error, most predominantly rater errors. We demonstrate that errors in scores made by two raters on the same lesson have a factor structure that is distinct from the factor structure at the teacher level. Consequently, the 'standard' approach of analyzing on teacher‐level average dimension scores can yield incorrect inferences about the factor structure at the teacher level and possibly misleading evidence about the validity of scores and theories of teaching. We consider alternative hierarchical estimation approaches designed to prevent the contamination of estimated teacher‐level factors. These alternative approaches find a teacher‐level factor structure for CLASS‐S that consists of strongly correlated support and classroom management factors. Our results have implications for future studies using factor analysis on classroom observation data to develop validity evidence and test theories of teaching and for practitioners who rely on the results of such studies to support their use and interpretation of the classroom observation scores.

AB  - Recent studies document pervasive noncompliance with basic labor standards in industries with high concentrations of low-wage workers. The authors examine how franchising, a common form of business organization in low-wage industries, affects compliance. They estimate the effect of franchise ownership on compliance with federal minimum wage and overtime standards in the fast food industry using unique data on Top 20 branded restaurants. Franchised outlets have far higher levels of noncompliance than comparable company-owned establishments. The authors argue that observed differences arise from internal incentives facing franchisees versus franchisors rather than from external enforcement pressures facing the parties.

AB  - Workplace stress likely plays a role in health disparities; however, applying standard measures to studies of immigrants requires thoughtful consideration. The goal of this study was to determine the appropriateness of two measures of occupational stressors ('decision latitude' and 'job demands') for use with mostly immigrant Latino farm workers. Cross-sectional data from a pilot module containing a four-item measure of decision latitude and a two-item measure of job demands were obtained from a subsample (N = 409) of farm workers participating in the National Agricultural Workers Survey. Responses to items for both constructs were clustered toward the low end of the structured response-set. Percentages of responses of 'very often' and 'always' for each of the items were examined by educational attainment, birth country, dominant language spoken, task, and crop. Cronbach's α, when stratified by subgroups of workers, for the decision latitude items were (0.65-0.90), but were less robust for the job demands items (0.25-0.72). The four-item decision latitude scale can be applied to occupational stress research with immigrant farm workers, and potentially other immigrant Latino worker groups. The short job demands scale requires further investigation and evaluation before suggesting widespread use.

AB  - Amid the devastation and chaos of the great depression, with brutal income inequality tearing at the nation’s fabric, President Roosevelt and labor secretary Frances Perkins mustered the political will to enact the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The FLSA established the first federal minimum wage, the standard workweek, overtime rules, and it made most forms of child labor illegal. The law, designed to eliminate labor conditions detrimental to the maintenance of the minimum standards of living necessary for health, efficiency, and well-being of workers. The nation’s worker protection bulwark, eliminating abuse and exploitation, ensuring the dignity of work. The FLSA has truly been a living document, changing to meet the evolving needs of the nation’s workers. The articles in this edition of the journal provide important research about the ways the FLSA works and how well its provisions protect today’s workers.

N2  - We propose a new method for using validation data to correct self-reported weight and height in surveys that do not measure respondents. The standard correction in prior research regresses actual measures on reported values using an external validation dataset, and then uses the estimated coefficients to predict actual measures in the primary dataset. This approach requires the strong assumption that the expectations of measured weight and height conditional on the reported values are the same in both datasets. In contrast, we use percentile ranks rather than levels of reported weight and height. Our approach requires the weaker assumption that the conditional expectations of actual measures are increasing in reported values in both samples. This makes our correction more robust to differences in measurement error across surveys as long as both surveys represent the same population. We examine three nationally representative datasets and find that misreporting appears to be sensitive to differences in survey context. When we compare predicted BMI distributions using the two validation approaches, we find that the standard correction is affected by differences in misreporting while our correction is not. Finally, we present several examples that demonstrate the potential importance of our correction for future econometric analyses and estimates of obesity rates.

AB  - Carbon dioxide (CO2) makes up a relatively small percentage of atmospheric gases, yet when used or produced in large quantities as a gas, a liquid, or a solid (dry ice), substantial airborne exposures may occur. Exposure to elevated CO2concentrations may elicit toxicity, even with oxygen concentrations that are not considered dangerous per se. Full-shift sampling approaches to measure 8-hr time weighted average (TWA) CO2exposures are used in many facilities where CO2gas may be present. The need to assess rapidly fluctuating CO2levels that may approach immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH) conditions should also be a concern, and several methods for doing so using fast responding measurement tools are discussed in this paper. Colorimetric detector tubes, a non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) detector, and a portable Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy instrument were evaluated in a laboratory environment using a flow-through standard generation system and were found to provide suitable accuracy and precision for assessing rapid fluctuations in CO2concentration, with a possible effect related to humidity noted only for the detector tubes. These tools were used in the field to select locations and times for grab sampling and personal full-shift sampling, which provided laboratory analysis data to confirm IDLH conditions and 8-hr TWA exposure information. Fluctuating CO2exposures are exemplified through field work results from several workplaces. In a brewery, brief CO2exposures above the IDLH value occurred when large volumes of CO2-containing liquid were released for disposal, but 8-hr TWA exposures were not found to exceed the permissible level. In a frozen food production facility nearly constant exposure to CO2concentrations above the permissible 8-hr TWA value were seen, as well as brief exposures above the IDLH concentration which were associated with specific tasks where liquid CO2was used. In a poultry processing facility the use of dry ice to quickly freeze product produced a nearly constant CO2concentration that caused exposures to approach the permissible 8-hr TWA exposure value.

AB  - To help mark the Monthly Labor Review's centennial, the Review invited several producers and users of BLS data to take a look back at the last 100 years. This installment of the anniversary series comes from the Bureau's Occupational Safety and Health Statistics (OSHS) program. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics collects and publishes data on occupational injuries and illnesses. The OSHS program administers these efforts and has evolved for the purpose of collecting more accurate and complete data. Over time, this evolution has required a variety of changes, including new classification systems, recordkeeping procedures, injury and illness categorization, data collection methods, and coding schemes.

The most new jobs added and fastest job growth will occur in healthcare practitioners and technical occupations and healthcare support occupations. Projected changes to demographics as the population ages will drive the expected growth in the healthcare occupational groups. Production occupations and farming, fishing, and forestry occupations are the only major occupational groups projected to decline. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Using data from the 2003-2010 American Time Use Survey combined with U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data on state-level unemployment rates, we examine how couple time together is affected by macroeconomic conditions. We find a U-shaped relationship between the unemployment rate and the time that couples who have children spend together, with the lowest amount of time together occurring when unemployment rates are around 9 %. We explore how these patterns are related to the timing of work. Our evidence suggests mothers' work hours are shifted from standard daytime hours to weekend hours, consistent with difficulty in aligning work schedules at moderately high unemployment rates.

AB  - Description: The Individualized Learning Plans for Students With Disabilities Surveys (Skaff et al., 2016) were developed to measure educators' and parents' perceptions of the effectiveness of Individualized Learning Plans (ILPs) in assisting students with disabilities in gaining the experiences needed to develop college and career readiness skills. A sample comprised of 1,117 parents and 484 educators responded to separate instruments designed by a group of policy experts from the Institute for Educational Leadership, the Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP), and the University of Wisconsin–Madison’s Center on Education and Work. Topic areas covered the transition areas of family involvement, school-based preparation, career preparation, youth development, and community connections. Most items used in the Educator (39 items) and Parent (21 items) surveys were very similar or the same. Example items included 'My child’s school has prepared my child for their transition from high school to a career or further education' (for parents) and 'Most students with disabilities who graduate from my school are prepared for their transition from high school to a career or further education' (for educators). Psychometrics specific to this measure were not presented. (PsycTESTS Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)

AB  - Recent estimates in standard models of wage determination for both unionization and occupational licensing have shown wage effects that are similar across the two institutions. These cross-sectional estimates use specialized data sets, with small sample sizes, for the period 2006 to 2008. The authors’ analysis examines the impact of unions and licensing coverage on wage determination using new data collected on licensing statutes that are then linked to longitudinal data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY79) from 1979 to 2010. They develop several approaches, using both cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses, to measure the impact of these two labor market institutions on wage determination. The estimates of the economic returns to union coverage are greater than those for licensing statutes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

N2  - Universal completion of secondary education by 2030 is among the targets set by the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals. Higher expected adult wages traced to schooling may play a major role in reaching this target as they are predicted to induce increased school enrollment for children whose families wish to optimally invest in their children's future. However, low incomes and the obligation to meet immediate needs may forestall such investment. Studies suggest that school enrollment in developing countries is positively correlated with higher expected future wages, but poor families continue to under-enroll their children.

AB  - Even though syphilis can be prevented effectively and treated inexpensively, it has remained a global public health problem. Untreated congenital syphilis results in neonatal death, stillbirth, preterm birth, or congenital deformities. Many developing countries have recently instituted syphilis prevention programs in antenatal care, but there has not been a systematic study of the effects of such programs. This paper is the first to study antenatal testing laws initiated in the U.S. in 1938-1947 which mandated physicians and other persons permitted by law to attend to a pregnant woman to test her for syphilis. We use the variation in the timing of state antenatal testing laws to estimate the laws' effect on neonatal mortality rates and deaths due to preterm birth. Using 1931-1947 Vital Statistics data, we find that these laws decreased neonatal mortality rates of nonwhites by 3.15 per 1000 live births (a 8.6% reduction) while having no discernible impact on whites. The laws contributed to an 18% narrowing of the white-nonwhite neonatal mortality gap by 1947. Using 1950 U.S. Census data, we find that mandatory antenatal testing led to a 7% increase in the cohort size of nonwhite poor, which is consistent with the neonatal mortality results. We find universal antenatal testing to be very cost-effective, with an estimated $7600 cost (in 2013 dollars) per life-year saved. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - A BLS study reveals that, in the aggregate, workers at nonprofit businesses earn a pay premium compared with their for-profit counterparts. Detailed analyses, however, show a more nuanced picture: using wages as the pay measure indicates a slight wage disadvantage for management, professional, and related workers, and a wage advantage for service workers, at nonprofits and wage parity between nonprofit and for-profit sales and office workers; using total compensation as the pay measure indicates compensation parity between nonprofit and for-profit businesses for management, professional, and related workers and for sales and office workers and a compensation premium for nonprofit service workers.

AB  - The objective of our study is twofold: on one side, to complement earlier analyses that estimate the spatial density of livestock holdings using different methods; on the other, to show that by combining different data sources--the 2009/10 Uganda National Panel Survey (UNPS) and the 2008 Uganda National Livestock Census (UNLC)--and applying the Small Area Estimation (SAE) technique, it is possible to provide a finer spatial disaggregation and representation of missing livestock measures in the census. First, we combine our livestock population and density figures with those from the UNLC. Second, we fit an estimation model of livestock income and share on the UNPS to generate an out-of-sample prediction of the missing information in the UNLC, mapping livestock income and share at the local level. Our results suggest that the integrated use of multiple data sources, such as household surveys, censuses, and administrative data, together with spatial analysis techniques, such as SAE, can provide reliable, coherent, and location-specific insights to guide policy and investment. This work shows a useful method that allows for a reliable spatial livestock analysis, whenever sectorial databases offer greater coverage of the population of interest, but more limited information than specialized surveys. This method can be applied in all countries where there is a similar livestock information system, and common support between livestock census and household surveys with detailed agricultural/livestock modules. Cross-validation across data sources provides clearer insights into livestock-related policy and a better springboard for effective povertyreduction strategies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Emotional memories are vivid and lasting but not necessarily accurate. Under some conditions, emotion even increases people’s susceptibility to false memories. This review addresses when and why emotion leaves people vulnerable to misremembering events. Recent research suggests that pregoal emotions—those experienced before goal attainment or failure (e.g., hope, fear)—narrow the scope of people’s attention to information that is central to their goals. This narrow focus can impair memory for peripheral details, leaving people vulnerable to misinformation concerning those details. In contrast, postgoal emotions—those experienced after goal attainment or failure (e.g., happiness, sadness)—broaden the scope of attention leaving people more resistant to misinformation. Implications for legal contexts, such as emotion-related errors in eyewitness testimony, are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)

N2  - Rigidity in wages has long been thought to impede the functioning of labor markets. One recent strand of the research on wage flexibility in the United States and elsewhere has focused on the possibility of downward nominal wage rigidity and what implications such rigidity might have for the macroeconomy at low levels of inflation. The Great Recession of 2008-09, during which the unemployment rate topped 10 percent and price deflation was at times seen as a distinct possibility, along with the subsequent slow recovery and persistently low inflation, has added to the relevance of this line of inquiry. In this paper, we use establishment-level data from a nationally representative establishment-based compensation survey collected by the Bureau of Labor Statistics to investigate the extent to which downward nominal wage rigidity is present in U.S. labor markets. We use several distinct methods proposed in the literature to test for downward nominal wage rigidity, and to assess whether such rigidity is more severe at low rates of inflation and in the presence of negative economic shocks than in more normal economic times. Like earlier studies, we find evidence of a significant amount of downward nominal wage rigidity in the United States. We find no evidence that the high degree of labor market distress during the Great Recession reduced the amount of downward nominal wage rigidity and some evidence that operative rigidity may have increased during that period.

N2  - Using a unique dataset, we examine how the foreign direct investment activities of U.S. multinational manufacturers are related to the composition of their domestic employment. The analysis is based on a dataset in which Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) firm-level data on the foreign operations of U.S. multinationals are matched with Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) establishment-level data on occupation and wage distributions. The main implication of our findings is that foreign direct investment is generally positively correlated with domestic labor demand, with automated/routine tasks representing an important exception. For firms that export a significant amount to their foreign affiliates for further processing, foreign labor in low-income countries appears to substitute for domestic labor in automated/routine tasks. Our results show that these firms tend to be younger and smaller. They do not seem to be more engaged in innovative activity at home compared to other multinational manufacturers in our sample.

AB  - Objectives: To assess whether clutter (comforters, blankets, pillows, toys) caused bumper deaths and provide an analysis of bumper-related incidents/injuries and their causal mechanisms.Study Design: Bumper-related deaths (January 1, 1985, to October 31, 2012) and incidents/injuries (January 1, 1990, to October 31, 2012) were identified from the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) databases and classified by mechanism. Statistical analyses include mean age, 95% CIs, χ(2) test for trend, and ANOVA with a paired-comparisons information-criterion post hoc test for age differences among injury mechanisms.Results: There were 3 times more bumper deaths reported in the last 7 years than the 3 previous time periods (χ(2)(3) = 13.5, P ≤ .01). This could be attributable to increased reporting by the states, diagnostic shift, or both, or possibly a true increase in deaths. Bumpers caused 48 suffocations, 67% by a bumper alone, not clutter, and 33% by wedgings between a bumper and another object. The number of CPSC-reported deaths was compared with those from the National Center for the Review and Prevention of Child Deaths, 2008-2011; the latter reported substantially more deaths than CPSC, increasing the total to 77 deaths. Injury mechanisms showed significant differences by age (F4,120 = 3.2, P < .001) and were caused by design, construction, and quality control problems. Eleven injuries were apparent life-threatening events.Conclusion: The effectiveness of public health recommendations, industry voluntary standard requirements, and the benefits of crib bumper use were not supported by the data. Study limitations include an undercount of CPSC-reported deaths, lack of denominator information, and voluntary incident reports.

AB  - Manually reading free-text narratives in large databases to identify the cause of an injury can be very time consuming and recently, there has been much work in automating this process. In particular, the variations of the naïve Bayes model have been used to successfully auto-code free text narratives describing the event/exposure leading to the injury of a workers’ compensation claim. This paper compares the naïve Bayes model with an alternative logistic model and found that this new model outperformed the naïve Bayesian model. Further modest improvements were found through the addition of sequences of keywords in the models as opposed to consideration of only single keywords. The programs and weights used in this paper are available upon request to researchers without a training set wishing to automatically assign event codes to large data-sets of text narratives. The utility of sharing this program was tested on an outside set of injury narratives provided by the Bureau of Labor Statistics with promising results.

AB  - This article uses data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 (NLSY79)-a survey of people born between 1957 and 1964-to examine the fertility patterns of women up to age 46. Women in the NLSY79 cohort have two children, on average, and more than 80 percent of them give birth to at least one child by age 46. The bulk of first births occur before age 30. Fertility patterns differ markedly by education. Women with a college degree are more than twice as likely as those who never attended college to have no children, with this pattern being stronger among Black and Hispanic women. Fertility is delayed as education increases. Patterns of fertility related to labor market experience are evident, but they are weaker than those related to educational attainment.

AB  - The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) program has long produced actual wages by occupation that allow data users to compare wages across geographic regions. For the purpose of this article, the OES program has produced price-adjusted wages, which incorporate the costs of goods and services in an area to produce a figure that more accurately represents the real value of earnings for cross-area comparisons. This article explores how measures of price-adjusted wages and employment concentration are used to compare employment across areas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - To help mark the Monthly Labor Review's centennial, the editors invited several producers and users of BLS data to take a look back at the last 100 years. This article highlights the past, present, and future of the Consumer Expenditure Survey (CE), an ongoing federal survey program designed in the 1970s to collect information on spending, income, and household characteristics. This paper also presents an overview of the Gemini Project, which was launched in 2009. The project's objectives are to reduce measurement error, improve overall data quality, enhance the analytic value of the CE data to users, and implement a new design that supports greater operational flexibility to respond to changes in the interviewing environment. This paper discusses the motivation, accomplishments, challenges, and expected benefits of the CE redesign. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Rigidity in wages has long been thought to impede the functioning of labor markets. One recent strand of the research on wage flexibility in the United States and elsewhere has focused on the possibility of downward nominal wage rigidity and what implications such rigidity might have for the macroeconomy at low levels of inflation. The Great Recession of 2008-09, during which the unemployment rate topped 10 percent and price deflation was at times seen as a distinct possibility, along with the subsequent slow recovery and persistently low inflation, has added to the relevance of this line of inquiry. In this paper, we use establishment-level data from a nationally representative establishment-based compensation survey collected by the Bureau of Labor Statistics to investigate the extent to which downward nominal wage rigidity is present in U.S. labor markets. We use several distinct methods proposed in the literature to test for downward nominal wage rigidity, and to assess whether such rigidity is more severe at low rates of inflation and in the presence of negative economic shocks than in more normal economic times. Like earlier studies, we find evidence of a significant amount of downward nominal wage rigidity in the United States. We find no evidence that the high degree of labor market distress during the Great Recession reduced the amount of downward nominal wage rigidity and some evidence that operative rigidity may have increased during that period.

AB  - Memory for feelings is subject to fading and bias over time. In 2 studies, the authors examined whether the magnitude and direction of bias depend on the type of feeling being recalled: emotion or mood. A few days after the U.S. Presidential elections in 2008 and 2012, participants reported how they felt about the election outcome (emotion) and how they felt in general (mood). A month after the elections, participants recalled their feelings. The intensity of past emotion was recalled more accurately than the intensity of past mood. Participants underestimated the intensity of emotion but overestimated the intensity of mood. Participants’ appraisals of the importance of the election, which diminished over time, contributed to underestimating the intensity of emotion. In contrast, participants’ strong emotional response to the election contributed to overestimating the intensity of mood. These opposing biases have important implications for decision making and clinical assessment. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)

AB  - The purpose of this study was to gather information from educators and parents on their perceptions of the effectiveness of Individualized Learning Plans (ILPs) in assisting students with disabilities in gaining the experiences needed to develop college and career readiness skills. Results from focus groups and surveys of 1,117 parents and 484 educators in three states indicated that while a majority of parents and educators felt that transition assistance was helpful for youth without disabilities, less positive perceptions emerged regarding the adequacy of preparation for youth with disabilities and, particularly among educators, regarding the readiness of youth with disabilities to transition into higher education and careers. Based on these findings, implications for strengthening ILP efforts in schools are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)

AB  - We use data on consumers’ subjective beliefs about the distribution of prices in an online marketplace to investigate two questions of interest. First, when consumers face price uncertainty, to what extent do their beliefs about the distribution of prices reflect the actual empirical price distribution? Second, do consumers learn about features of the empirical distribution through experience? Using reported expectations for online textbook prices from a survey of 1224 college students, we find that consumers with no prior experience in purchasing textbooks online tend to expect online prices to be higher than what is observed empirically. However, consumers with more experience in the marketplace generally have more accurate beliefs about the price distribution, which is consistent with learning.

AB  - Motor vehicle traffic crashes (MVTCs) remain the leading cause of work-related fatal injuries in the United States, with crashes on public roadways accounting for 25% of all work-related deaths in 2012. In the United States, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI) provides accurate counts of fatal work injuries based on confirmation of work relationship from multiple sources, while the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) provides detailed data on fatal MVTCs based on police reports. Characterization of fatal work-related MVTCs is currently limited by data sources that lack either data on potential risk factors (CFOI) or work-relatedness confirmation and employment characteristics (FARS). BLS and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) collaborated to analyze a merged data file created by BLS using CFOI and FARS data. A matching algorithm was created to link 2010 data from CFOI and FARS using date of incident and other case characteristics, allowing for flexibility in variables to address coding discrepancies. Using the matching algorithm, 953 of the 1044 CFOI 'Highway' cases (91%) for 2010 were successfully linked to FARS. Further analysis revealed systematic differences between cases identified as work-related by both systems and by CFOI alone. Among cases identified as work-related by CFOI alone, the fatally-injured worker was considerably more likely to have been employed outside the transportation and warehousing industry or transportation-related occupations, and to have been the occupant of a vehicle other than a heavy truck. This study is the first step of a collaboration between BLS, NHTSA, and NIOSH to improve the completeness and quality of data on fatal work-related MVTCs. It has demonstrated the feasibility and value of matching data on fatal work-related traffic crashes from CFOI and FARS. The results will lead to improvements in CFOI and FARS case capture, while also providing researchers with a better description of fatal work-related MVTCs than would be available from the two data sources separately.

N2  - Chen and Zadrozny (1998) developed the linear extended Yule-Walker (XYW) method for determining the parameters of a vector autoregressive (VAR) model with available covariances of mixed-frequency observations on the variables of the model. If the parameters are determined uniquely for available population covariances, then, the VAR model is identified. The present paper extends the original XYW method to an extended XYW method for determining all ARMA parameters of a vector autoregressive moving-average (VARMA) model with available covariances of single- or mixed-frequency observations on the variables of the model. The paper proves that under conditions of stationarity, regularity, miniphaseness, controllability, observability, and diagonalizability on the parameters of the model, the parameters are determined uniquely with available population covariances of single- or mixed-frequency observations on the variables of the model, so that the VARMA model is identified with the single- or mixed-frequency covariances.

AB  - Measuring productivity growth in construction has been a classic challenge, largely because reliable output deflators are scarce. This paper reports first results from a Bureau of Labor Statistics research group convened to measure construction productivity better. Results show that labor productivity growth has been positive, and fairly substantial, in all four industries where reliable deflators now exist. Shifts of labor between construction industries reduce productivity growth by 0.4% a year. Regulation is a significant negative effect on productivity, but reduces productivity growth by only 0.1% a year. Undocumented immigrants are important in construction, and often work off the books, but reasonable allowance for their increased presence reduces productivity growth by only 0.1% a year. The influences examined are not sufficient to explain why productivity growth is so much lower in construction than elsewhere. Later work will measure productivity growth in a broader range of industries, including some industries representing contractors. However, this further work requires access to restricted Census microdata, and so will take several years more to complete. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - This article describes the longitudinal features of the Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) data and the composition of the establishments observed multiple times in the OES microdata. We discuss the design of the OES survey and changes over time that shape the composition of establishments sampled repeatedly for the OES. We show how differences in response rates shape the composition of establishments observed repeatedly. Finally, we examine the distributions of employer and employee characteristics in the longitudinal OES data. Overall, we find that establishment size, geographic area type, industry, occupation, and wage-range distributions in the longitudinal OES data are remarkably representative. We conclude that it is possible to use data collected from the OES to examine longitudinal employment and wage patterns for establishments observed repeatedly, not only for the largest establishments that are most likely to be selected for this survey but also for a broad range of establishment types.

AB  - Despite their salience, the prevalence of incidents that result in many work-related deaths is not well-documented. This study estimated probabilities of observing large scale work-related fatal incidents using 1995–2010 records from the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries. A range of model estimates suggest approximately a one-in-four annual chance of observing an incident resulting in 20 or more work-related fatalities. The most likely contributors are aircraft incidents, and fires and explosions. The probability that a large scale incident occurs has declined in recent years due to a general decline in the number of fatal incidents, and due to a compositional shift away from those types of incidents more likely to result in large scale outcomes.

N2  - The goal of this paper is to estimate the impact of labor demand on time to the doctorate. Empirical investigation of this relationship in previous research was hampered by the difficulty of measuring labor demand. I construct a measure of labor demand in seven fields in the humanities and social sciences based on the annual number of job listings from 1975 to 2005. My empirical strategy relates variation over time in the number of job listings within a field to the timing of completion using student-level data on all doctorates awarded in these fields by U.S. universities. Estimates indicate that the number of job listings is not correlated with expected time to degree. This finding implies that cyclical variation in labor demand is not responsible for changes in time to degree within fields.

AB  - We propose a general framework for topic-specific summarization of large text corpora, and illustrate how it can be used for analysis in two quite different contexts: an Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) database of fatality and catastrophe reports (to facilitate surveillance for patterns in circumstances leading to injury or death), and legal decisions on workers' compensation claims (to explore relevant case law). Our summarization framework, built on sparse classification methods, is a compromise between simple word frequency-based methods currently in wide use, and more heavyweight, model-intensive methods such as latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA). For a particular topic of interest (e.g., mental health disability, or carbon monoxide exposure), we regress a labeling of documents onto the high-dimensional counts of all the other words and phrases in the documents. The resulting small set of phrases found as predictive are then harvested as the summary. Using a branch-and-bound approach, this method can incorporate phrases of arbitrary length, which allows for potentially rich summarization. We discuss how focus on the purpose of the summaries can inform choices of tuning parameters and model constraints. We evaluate this tool by comparing the computational time and summary statistics of the resulting word lists to three other methods in the literature. We also present a new R package, textreg. Overall, we argue that sparse methods have much to offer in text analysis and is a branch of research that should be considered further in this context. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

AB  - A worker attempting to remove solidified material inside a confined space (storage tank) suffered severe methemoglobinemia and almost died. The tank contained liquid 4,4′-methylene diphenyl diisocyanate monomer that had solidified after an equipment power failure caused excessive heating. Wearing a full-face elastomeric air-purifying respirator and Tyvek® coveralls, the worker used pneumatic air hammers to break up the solid material. After two tank entries totaling slightly less than one hour, the worker complained of headache and dizziness and within two hours of exiting the tank, he was admitted to the hospital in severe respiratory distress. During his eight-week hospital course, he suffered a cardiac arrest among other complications. An investigation into the cause of the worker's illness used onsite gas chromatography-mass spectrometry which identified aniline andp-toluidine vapor within the tank, attributable to overheating that led to formation of the solid material. Both are well-known causes of methemoglobinemia, and had the initial characterization of the confined space atmosphere adequately identified the hazards present appropriate engineering controls and personal protective equipment could have allowed the tank entrant to work safely in the space.

AB  - Elaborating on misleading information concerning emotional events can lead people to form false memories. The present experiment compared participants’ susceptibility to false memories when they elaborated on information associated with positive versus negative emotion and pregoal versus postgoal emotion. Pregoal emotion reflects appraisals that goal attainment or failure is anticipated but has not yet occurred (e.g., hope and fear). Postgoal emotion reflects appraisals that goal attainment or failure has already occurred (e.g., happiness and devastation). Participants watched a slideshow depicting an interaction between a couple and were asked to empathise with the protagonist's feelings of hope (positive pregoal), happiness (positive postgoal), fear (negative pregoal), or devastation (negative postgoal); in control conditions, no emotion was mentioned. Participants were then asked to reflect on details of the interaction that had occurred (true) or had not occurred (false), and that were relevant or irrelevant to the protagonist's goal. Irrespective of emotional valence, participants in the pregoal conditions were more susceptible to false memories concerning goal-irrelevant details than were participants in the other conditions. These findings support the view that pregoal emotions narrow attention to information relevant to goal pursuit, increasing susceptibility to false memories for irrelevant information.

AB  - Using nationally representative data on the specific skills required for individual jobs, we study how wage and skill distributions vary with firm type, as defined by a firm's median wage. We show that firms typically do not specialize by hiring similar workers. On the contrary, the distribution of wages and skills at middle- and high-wage firms is nearly as broad as the distribution in the entire population. Low-wage firms, however, have a more compact distribution of skills. The wage and skill distributions in high-wage firms skew leftward, whereas the distributions in low-wage firms skew rightward. We show that the skill requirements of low-wage jobs differ modestly by firm type, while the skill requirements of high-wage jobs are lower at high-wage firms than at low- and middle-wage firms.

AB  - The labor share--the fraction of economic output that accrues to workers as compensation in exchange for their labor--was thought by some early-to-mid-20th-century economists to be relatively stable. Yet its decline during the second half of the 20th century and on into the early years of the 21st century has shown otherwise, attracting the interest of many researchers. This article reviews the BLS labor share methodology, discusses the uses and limitations of the BLS labor share measure, and suggests ways that BLS might improve the measure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Teen labor force participation has been on a long-term downward trend, and the decline is expected to continue to 2024, the latest year for which projections are available. A number of factors are contributing to this trend: an increased emphasis toward school and attending college among teens, reflected in higher enrollment; more summer school attendance; and more strenuous coursework. Parental emphasis on the rewards of education has contributed to the decline in teen labor force participation. Tuition costs have continued to rise dramatically, as has borrowing to pay for college. Taxpayers can qualify for tax credits to help defray tuition costs. Teen earnings are low and pay little toward the costs of college. In a teenager's 24-hour day, except for sleeping, school activities take up the largest amount of time. Teens who do in fact want jobs face competition from older workers, young college graduates, and foreignborn workers. This article examines labor force participation trends for teens ages 16-19, using data from the Current Population Survey. The article also examines labor force projections data from the Employment Projections program the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

AB  - Introduction: A 2009 Government Accounting Office (GAO) report, along with numerous published studies, documented that many workplace injuries are not recorded on employers' recordkeeping logs required by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and consequently are under-reported to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), resulting in a substantial undercount of occupational injuries in the United States. Methods: OSHA conducted a Recordkeeping National Emphasis Program (NEP) from 2009 to 2012 to identify the extent and causes of unrecorded and incorrectly recorded occupational injuries and illnesses. Results: OSHA found recordkeeping violations in close to half of all facilities inspected. Employee interviews identified workers' fear of reprisal and employer disciplinary programs as the most important causes of under-reporting. Subsequent inspections in the poultry industry identified employer medical management policies that fostered both under-reporting and under-recording of workplace injuries and illnesses. Conclusions: OSHA corroborated previous research findings and identified onsite medical units as a potential new cause of both under-reporting and under-recording. Research is needed to better characterize and eliminate obstacles to the compilation of accurate occupational injury and illness data. Practical applications: Occupational health professionals who work with high hazard industries where low injury rates are being recorded may wish to scrutinize recordkeeping practices carefully. This work suggests that, although many high-risk establishments manage recordkeeping with integrity, the lower the reported injury rate, the greater the likelihood of under-recording and underreporting of work-related injuries and illnesses.
