This paper investigates how the relationship between income and working hours in Taiwan has changed over time. By using the
official individual sample in the Manpower Utilization Surveys from DGBAS during 1981–2006, this study concludes that higher
earners worked fewer hours as the economy is expanding and the price level increases in Taiwan; however, higher earners lose
their time privileges as the economy relies on the service sector more than before. Furthermore, with regard to gender differences,
it is found that higher earners still have time advantages relative to lower earners over time for male, but not so for female.

This study investigates the influence of college tuition and fees (CTF) on fertility behavior as a mechanism to induce population
growth. Using a fixed-effect regression model with various specifications of the fertility equation on contiguous panel data
for the period 1990–2001, this study has determined of that CTF has a significantly negative influence on regional GFR (general
fertility rate) in Taiwan. In addition, unemployment rates also have a negative impact on fertility though the male rate plays
a greater role in the fertility decision than the female rate. Finally, this study calculates the cost in terms of CTF to
the Central Government to induce population growth. For a 1% decrease in real CTF, the cost to the government and taxpayers
at large, the cost of each additional child will range from US$90.31 to US$252.23 depending on the years considered and the
model specifications.

Several studies find a negative correlation between the ratio of males to females and measures of female labor supply in the
US. This negative correlation has been interpreted as empirical support for the hypothesis that marriage market conditions
influence intra-household allocation decisions. Given the similarity of cultures and of labor supply behavior of women in
Canada and the United States, and the fact that they both experienced baby-booms at roughly the same time, any explanation
for changes in female labor supply would be expected to hold for both countries. We test the prediction that marriage market
conditions have explanatory power for Canadian female labor force participation (LFP) rates over the period 1971–2001. We
find smaller marriage market effects for Canada than those found for the US but similar in magnitude to those found for the
US Midwest.

Research on the relationship between casinos and crime has yielded mixed conclusions. Some authors argue that casinos are
crime attractors and provide fertile grounds for disorder in the surrounding communities. Others claim that the impact of
casinos on the crime problem has been over-stated and that casinos in themselves are not crime generators. Relying on calls
for service and incidents known to the police, this research reveals the specific spatial and temporal characteristics of
all criminal and disorderly behaviors around casino venues.

It is well-known that married men earn more than comparable single men, with typical estimates of the male marriage premium
in the range of 10–20%. Some research also finds that cohabiting men earn more than men not living with a female partner.
This study uses data from the General Social Survey and the National Health and Social Life Survey to examine whether a similar
premium accrues to gay men who live with a male partner and whether cohabiting gay men have different observable characteristics
than non-cohabiting gay men. Controlling for observable characteristics, cohabiting gay men do not earn significantly more
than other gay men or more than unmarried heterosexual men. Cohabiting heterosexual men also do not earn more than non-cohabiting
heterosexual men.

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.

Does Consumer Sentiment Foretell Revolving Credit Use? 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Douglas J. Lamdin 《Journal of Family and Economic Issues》2008,29(2):279-288
The rising level of consumer debt in the U.S. is well documented. Revolving credit (credit cards) has experienced this growth,
with the level of outstanding revolving credit increasing by over 600% in inflation-adjusted dollars over the past three decades.
The goal here is to gauge the extent to which consumer sentiment; namely, the University of Michigan Survey Research Center
Index of Consumer Sentiment, has predictive power in explaining the aggregate use of revolving credit using time-series data.
The results generally show that changes in the consumer sentiment measure are related to subsequent changes in revolving credit
use.

Theoretical arguments suggest that a higher socioeconomic status can improve health and as a consequence reduce the need for
sick leave. The purpose of this study is to empirically investigate causal effects between spousal income and absence from
the workplace due to sickness. To control for unobserved heterogeneity a Swedish sample of female twins and a semiparametric
censored fixed-effects model was used. Results for dizygotic (fraternal) twins indicated that male spousal income, i.e., a
non-shared environmental influence, reduced the share of income that was government-paid sickness benefits. Data on monozygotic
twins, who have identical genes, provide a more complete control for unobserved heterogeneity. No causal effect was found
in this case.

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.

Using a unique data source on marital status, partnership and sexual orientation of academics and administrators at British
universities, we estimate the impact of personal relationships upon earnings for men and women. While university data cover
a relatively homogeneous group of workers, the two sides of the university are very different, with administrative jobs being
more like the general job market in the economy. We find a large and significant married male premium, but only on the administrative
side of the university. There is no female marriage premium, and no partnership return to gay men or to either heterosexual
or homosexual women.

By matching industry/occupation data on training to displaced worker data from the Current Population Surveys, this paper
analyzes why many older workers were displaced by technological changes in the 1990s, and why these workers incurred large
earnings losses. When technological changes depreciate the existing stock of firm-specific human capital, older workers who
receive higher wages from the sharing arrangement of the returns to investment in firm-specific human capital are dismissed
as firms find it unprofitable to retain them. These displaced workers have higher predisplacement wages with steeper wage–tenure
profiles, and hence incur larger earnings losses after displacement than other displaced workers.

We used the 2002 National Study of the Changing Workforce to investigate the effects of work type on women’s lives. Specifically,
we hypothesized that self-employed women have better work–family fit than organizationally employed women. We also hypothesized
that as a result of better work–family fit, self-employed women would report better mental health than organizationally employed
women. The analysis shows limited support for the hypotheses. Of the different dimensions of work–family fit, self-employment
directly influenced only job to home facilitation. Work type had no direct influence on mental health. It appears that work
type may indirectly influence work–family fit and mental health through higher job satisfaction and increased autonomy.

Shame – a feeling of social inadequacy and (the anticipation of) public humiliation – may inhibit worker activism. This article
discusses the role of shame, as an emotion and a behavioral disposition, in face-to-face confrontations between workers and
employers, embedded in an authority structure marked by patron-clientage and personal dependency. It explores how shame may
function as an obstacle to face-to-face confrontations and claim-making, and how workers and leftwing activists try to overcome
this hurdle.

Analyses of data from the 2000 US Census show that the gender pay gap differs by sector of employment and according to the
part of the earnings distribution that is considered. The gender pay differential in the private sector in the US does not
display either the glass ceiling or sticky floor effects that have been reported for many other countries. The government
sector is, however, characterized by a distinct sticky floor effect in the female–male pay differential. Regardless of the
sector of employment, females have lower hourly rates of pay than men across the entire earnings distribution.

Most analysis of intrahousehold decisions has been conducted using aggregate revealed preference data where preferences of
individual agents are never observed, only the household consumption outcomes are observed. We examine household behavior
in a bargaining framework by combining stated preference information from individual members of the household with revealed
preference information on the household’s actual choices. The resulting model provides information on the degree to which
the decision is the result of a bargaining process as well as information on the factors affecting bargaining power.

This study makes two contributions to the study of family and economic issues. First, it investigates the effects of consumer-market
shortage on fertility. Second, it considers the effects on fertility of eliminating consumer-market shortage using a survey
of families from the Former Soviet Union. The estimated model of fertility showed that consumer goods shortage and fertility
were positively related. The elimination of consumer goods shortage would, therefore, be expected to lower aggregate number
of children in the transition (post-Soviet) economies.

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.

Proponents of state and federal minimum wage increases argue that past minimum wage hikes have not adversely affected retail
employment. However, the existing empirical evidence is mixed. This study uses monthly data from the 1979–2004 Current Population
Survey to provide new estimates of the effect of minimum wage increases on retail employment and hours worked. The findings
suggest evidence of modest adverse effects. A 10% increase in the minimum wage is associated with a 1% decline in retail trade
employment and usual weekly hours worked. Larger negative employment and hours effects are observed for the least experienced
workers in the retail sector. These results are robust across a number of specifications, but are sensitive to controls for
state time trends.
