This study investigates perceptions of workplace discrimination among racial minorities in Canada. Specifically, the study
examines how objective experiences of disadvantage and expectations for equity influence racial minorities’ perceptions of
discrimination. The results indicate that while both of these factors affect perceptions of discrimination, expectations for
equity may be especially important. Although new immigrants are among the most disadvantaged groups in the Canadian labor
market, they are less likely to perceive discrimination than longer term immigrants, who may have higher expectations for
equitable treatment. Education also increases the perception of discrimination among immigrants, perhaps due to the higher
expectations of educated immigrants. Lastly, objective income inequity is not found to be related to perceived discrimination.

This paper uses the concept of a computer as a public good within the household to model the demand for computers at home.
It also investigates the determinants, and consequences for earnings, of computer use. The equations are estimated using data
on the native born and immigrants from the 2001 Census of Population and Housing in Australia. The multivariate analyses show
that recent arrivals are more likely to use computers than the Australian born. The data suggests a high degree of favorable
selection in migration as the level of computer use in Australia is much higher than in most of the countries that Australia’s
immigrants come from. Those with a higher permanent income (education, household assets) are more likely to have a computer
at home, but there is no effect of transitory income (unemployment). Immigrants who are more proficient in English are also
more likely to use a computer. The relation between age and computer use is strongly influenced by cohort effects. Using a
computer at home is associated with about 7% and 13% higher earnings for native-born and foreign-born men, respectively. For
the immigrants, the effects of schooling and English language proficiency on earnings are greater among those who use a computer
at home. This suggests complementarity in the labor market. The use of a computer is shown to be a way the foreign born can
increase the international transferability of their pre-immigration skills, a finding that has implications for immigrant
assimilation policies.

The economics of gay and lesbian couples: Introduction to a special issue on gay and lesbian households 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
This article presents a simple conceptual framework integrating three couple-related outcomes analyzed in this volume: wage
differentials in earnings related to couple formation, household formation (including cohabitation and registration as Registered
Domestic Partnership), and intra-household allocation of income. It also discusses some of the articles’ main findings.

The paper examines the role of the banking network of foreign banks, namely Greek and Italian banks, on the transfer of remittances
of Albanian immigrants. Remittances through the official network that is formed mainly by the banking network, grew much higher
in comparison to non-official network during the period 1994–2006. The paper finds that the growth of the amount of remittances
conveyed through the official network as part of the total amount of remittances is related to the evolution of branches of
Greek and Italian banks in Albania.

Plurality rule is mostly criticized from being capable of choosing an alternative considered as worst by a strict majority.
This paper considers elections in which the agenda consists of potential candidates strategically choosing whether or not
to enter the election. In this context, we examine the ability of scoring rules to fulfil the Condorcet criterion. We show
for the case of three potential candidates that Plurality rule is the only scoring rule that satisfies a version of the Condorcet
criterion in two cases: 1) when preferences are single-peaked and, 2) when preferences are single-dipped.

It is a stylized fact that marriage formation involves positive assortative matching on education. We also find this in the
case of immigrants, even when they tend to “import” their spouses and potentially trade off education for other favorable
characteristics. For Pakistanis, we find positive compensating differentials in terms of high education to youth having adopted
host country norms, when marrying a marriage migrant. This indicates that Pakistani marriage migrants pay a premium to be
able to marry and live in Denmark. For Turks, individuals having source country norms pay a premium in order to import a partner,
indicating that unspoiled traditional norms are traded off for education.

Using the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, this paper examines the relationship between non-collateralized debt (NCD) and health
behaviors. The results reveal that households whose members tend to lead less healthy lifestyles are more likely to hold NCD.
There are three possible underlying hypotheses that may explain these relationships: (a) common factors, such as preferences,
shaping both debt and poorer health behaviors; (b) poorer health and health behaviors causing debt; and (c) debt causing poorer
health behaviors. Our findings are not consistent with a causal relationship between health behaviors and NCD. It is likely
that other factors, such as time preferences, risk aversion and self-control may underlie the observed correlation.

This study reports a meta-analysis of 75 estimates of the efficiency-wage effect. It reveals a strong efficiency-wage effect
that depends upon whether researchers control for potential simultaneity between wages and productivity. Studies that control
for simultaneity tend to report stronger effects. Clear evidence of publication selection is also found. E24, J30.

We study and compare equilibrium platforms in models of unidimensional electoral competition with two and four policy motivated
parties. We first analyze the plurality game, where the party getting the most votes is elected and implements its proposed
platform. Restrictions on the set of credible announcements are needed to get existence of equilibria. Comparing equilibria
with two and four parties, we obtain that moderate parties react to the introduction of extreme parties by proposing the same
or more extreme equilibrium platforms. We then study the proportional system, where the policy implemented is a weighted sum
of the proposals, with the voting shares as weights. Here, the existence of extreme parties leads moderate ones to choose
more centrist platforms. We finally test the robustness of our results with respect to, first, the enlargement of the strategy
space to entry decisions and, second, to asymmetric distributions of voters' blisspoints.

We examined the role of human capital in determining economic well-being and marital status of mothers with children. We analyzed
1996 data from the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP), a nationally representative survey of 36,700 American
households conducted by the Census Bureau. The results indicate that among the human capital variables postsecondary education
significantly improves the economic well-being of mothers irrespective of their marital status. Also, educated mothers are
more likely to be married. These findings are especially relevant as we debate the importance of marriage in poverty alleviation.

The inverse plurality rule—an axiomatization 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Under the ‘inverse plurality rule’, voters specify only their least preferred alternative. Our first result establishes that
this rule is the only scoring rule that satisfies the minimal veto condition (MV). We then prove that the inverse plurality
rule is characterized by MV and the four well known conditions that characterize scoring rules; namely, Anonymity (A), Neutrality
(N), Reinforcement (RE) and Continuity (CO). Our new characterization result is related to the characterizations of approval
voting and of the widely used plurality rule. We finally show how the axiomatization of the inverse plurality rule can be
extended to the axiomatization of elementary scoring rules (vote for t-alternatives scoring rules).
We are indebted to two anonymous referees for their most useful comments.

We study the general class of two-player public-policy contests and specify the asymmetry condition under which a more restrained government intervention that reduces the contestants’ prizes has the “perverse” effect of increasing their aggregate lobbying efforts.

The proceeding of privatization is a tradeoff between short-term equality and long-term efficiency. Under the existing structures
of enterprise management and government powers, enterprise managers are likely to conspire with government officials to decide
the way of ownership transformation and share the benefits from there. The transformation of ownership will enhance the efficiency
of the company. Corruption indeed presses ahead the transformation of company ownership, whereas inequality is also aggravated
during the process. Case studies are provided to demonstrate the relationship between corruption and privatization in China.
Corruption and inequality are what the country pays for their dream of public ownership in 1950s. Equality, efficiency and
maintaining current social and political structure cannot be achieved simultaneously during enterprise restructuring.

Because social workers are likely to have a more expanded role within organized psychoanalysis than previously, it seems timely
to consider the numerous challenges and opportunities ahead with respect to social workers’ impact on the practice of psychoanalysis.
For those who become social work psychoanalysts, in particular, a pivotal issue is the degree to which they retain their core
identity as clinical social workers. It is important for them to integrate and balance the diverse aspects of their dual identity,
to participate in our social work organizations, to contribute to developing psychoanalysis, and to work to keep the teaching
of contemporary psychoanalytic theories alive in social work education.

By applying the non-parametric Malmquist Productivity Index (MPI) method, this paper attempts to investigate the sources of
productivity changes of China’s State Owned Commercial Banks (SOCBs) and Joint Stock Commercial Banks (JSCBs) during the period
2000–2005. The empirical findings suggest that the China banking sector has exhibited productivity progress attributed to
the increase in efficiency. The empirical findings suggest that the SOCBs and the JSCBs have exhibited productivity progress
of 0.2 and 1.3%, respectively.

This study analyses the relationships between export, import and economic growth for the 13 transition economies. Empirical
results show that there is a unidirectional causality from economic growth to export. Empirical findings show that the growth-led
export hypothesis is valid in those countries and growth is rather shaped by increase in import demand.

A comprehensive framework for guiding analyses of internal migration is lacking. This study contributes to the family migration
literature in three important ways. We develop a multilevel theoretical framework emphasizing an integration of individual-,
family-, and neighborhood-level effects; introduce multilevel statistical modeling; and explicitly assess how effects of economic-based
explanatory variables vary by gender. Our data are from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID). We find that the likelihood
of a family migrating is affected by economic and non-economic factors, some of which vary by gender. We add to the dual-earner
migration literature by finding that wives are not likely to be tied-movers, but husbands are likely to be tied-stayers. Neighborhood
factors also are important to the decision to migrate.

Though many studies address the role of religion in predicting social attitudes over time, none has examined this relationship specifically for euthanasia. Using a large, nationally representative data source, this study seeks to address this void. Our findings indicate that considerable differences exist among religious denominations regarding the legalization of euthanasia. Specifically, we note a liberalizing trend for all included denominations. We also demonstrate substantial differences in the rates of liberalization, particularly in comparison to conservative Protestants. We conclude with an assessment of our findings relative to previous studies on religion and public opinion.

The Social Construction of Deviant Behavior in Homeless and Runaway Youth: Implications for Practice
This study examined the social construction of deviance in a sample of homeless and/or runaway youth in metropolitan Phoenix.
In depth semi-structured interviews with 14 youth were conducted, and the data were transcribed and analyzed using a qualitative
research computer program. The findings from the study point to an emerging theory, which suggests that ambiguous local policies
relevant to homeless youth (e.g., trespassing, loitering) resulted in their selective enforcement by local security and police.
Respondents described the ways that they adapted their behaviors to the environmental stressors resulting from these policies.
Implications for practice are discussed.
