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.

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.

This study based on a sample of 429 Beijing high school students shows that Chinese urban adolescents’ purchasing involvement
can be predicted by the adolescents’ self-esteem. Individuals’ self-evaluation motivates them to get involved in family purchasing
activities. This study suggests that Chinese consumer involvement is potentially shaped by both cognitive factors (e.g., self-esteem)
and social factors (e.g., media use). However, the study indicates that exposure to American mass media does not have significant
impact on adolescents’ family purchasing involvement. This finding raises possibilities for further investigation in the area.
Limitations and suggestions for future studies are provided.

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.

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.

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.

This paper analyzes income-pooling by using a unique Danish data set that includes questions on income pooling among 1,696
couples. The analyses show that most Danish households use some kind of income pooling and that the proportion of income pooled
varies considerably according to individual characteristics (age, education, occupation, past partners, upbringing) and household
characteristics (household income, duration of marriage, location of residence and the existence of public goods, including
children). However, when all variables are evaluated in a common model, the duration of marriage and the existence of children
predominantly affect the likelihood of income pooling.

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.

Family size is the outcome of sequential decisions influenced both by preferences and by ongoing changes in the environment
where a family lives. During the last two decades, the gap between the number of children women prefer and their actual fertility
has widened in Spain. The paper uses the 1985 and 1999 Spanish Fertility Surveys to study whether the tightening of the labor
market and worsening of economic conditions in Spain during the last 20 years are important determinants of this change. I
find that women facing high unemployment rates in their mid-twenties tend to restrict their fertility below their ideal level.
Among women in the labor force, the stability of a public sector job lessens the difficulties of balancing employment and
family and of achieving preferred fertility. Temporary contracts work in the opposite direction. Findings are robust to the
inclusion of controls for within-couple discrepancies in either preferences or religious affiliation.

In the public sector, Canadian governments intervene frequently in labor disputes by suspending collective bargaining and
curtailing legal strikes. Previous research has focused on the contours of government intervention, such as its overall effects
on collective bargaining and strikes. The discussion highlights one actor, a government, restricting the behavior of another
actor, a union, using legislation and policy making. As a result, we know less about more micro-level elements and implications
of the process of government intervention. I address these themes using a detailed case study of the Alberta Teachers’ Association
and the strikes it coordinated in 2002.

A method of classroom teaching as a paradigm of treatment situations is presented. The focus is on moving candidates from
an intellectual to an emotional experience of regression, transference, and countertransference as it is manifested in the
classroom setting, and to study these manifestations and the treatment approach used to elicit them. The purpose is to prepare
candidates for work with disturbed patients. Some modern and classical psychoanalytic theories and practices are highlighted.

Using meta-analysis, we find a consistent positive correlation between emotion recognition accuracy (ERA) and goal-oriented
performance. However, this existing research relies primarily on subjective perceptions of performance. The current study
tested the impact of ERA on objective performance in a mixed-motive buyer-seller negotiation exercise. Greater recognition
of posed facial expressions predicted better objective outcomes for participants from Singapore playing the role of seller,
both in terms of creating value and claiming a greater share for themselves. The present study is distinct from past research
on the effects of individual differences on negotiation outcomes in that it uses a performance-based test rather than self-reported
measure. These results add to evidence for the predictive validity of emotion recognition measures on practical outcomes.

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.

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.

Married Couples’ Time Allocation Decisions and Marital Stability 总被引:4,自引:4,他引:0
The Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID), 1985–1992, are the data used to simultaneously examine the role of family stability
to both market and household time allocation for both spouses and the role of couples’ time allocation in their probability
of divorce. The study found that increases in the probabilities of divorce were only significantly correlated with decreases
in wife’s housework time. It was also found by the study that increases in the husband’s market work hours and increases in
the wife’s household work hours had negative effects on the probability of divorce.

This paper examines the main characteristics of the Chinese banking industry. In particular, it analyses the main performance
indicators of the system together with some prospects of future development. The paper also considers the problems related
to high levels of non-performing loans and the internationalization paths of the Chinese banking market. In spite of some
recent reforms, further legislative improvements are required to develop the system and to allow a gradual opening to foreign
competition.

Do Reservation Wages Really Decline? Some International Evidence on the Determinants of Reservation Wages 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Using cross-country data, we investigate the determinants of reservation wages and their course over the jobless spell. Higher
unemployment benefits lead to higher reservation wages. Further, again consistent with the basic search model, repeated observations
on the same individual provide scant evidence of declining reservation wages.

The article describes the policy-making structure which governs the reform of justice in Afghanistan. It is characterized
by an evolution from a bilateral to a multilateral approach, aimed at increasing the Afghan ownership. However, observing
the system ‘from within’, it seems currently ruled by a mixed regime, being still deeply influenced by external inputs. As
a consequence, the final outcome of the process remains uncertain.

This paper expands on the ideas presented by Barth’s article on hidden eating disorders. The topic of eating disorders continues
to be an important focus of clinical work. Applying constructs related to the experience of shame, I explore the way that
feelings of shame may impact an exploration of eating disorders by the patient and clinician.
