Using a sample of 628 homeless youth and young adults from eight US cities, this study examines whether the relationship between
having been in custody of social services and suicide attempts, and the relationship between engaging in survival sex and
suicide attempts differ based on sexual orientation. Findings suggest that being in custody of social services is associated
with a significant increase in likelihood of suicide attempts for heterosexual youth, it does not, however, significantly
change the already increased risk of suicide attempts for sexual minority youth. Engaging in survival sex appears to be associated
with increased risks of suicide attempts for both heterosexual and sexual minority youth, but the increase in likelihood is
much stronger for heterosexual youth than for sexual minority youth. Implications for practice and future research are discussed.

Because past research indicates that stronger ethnic identity is related to better outcomes in areas such as academic achievement
and mental health, it is important to provide youth in foster care with opportunities to develop their ethnic identity. Using
data from in-person interviews with 188 youth aged 14–17 in foster care (88.7% response rate), this paper explores two areas
related to ethnic identity: (1) youth perceptions about their own ethnic identity, and (2) attitudes about ethnic identity
development specific to the experience of being in foster care. Results suggest that black youth and Hispanic/Latino youth
have a stronger sense of ethnic identity than white youth. Most youth are interested in learning more about their ethnic background.
Understanding how youth in foster care identify ethnically and understanding their beliefs related to ethnic identity may
lead to the enhancement of services provided to youth across child welfare, education, and mental health systems.

Juvenile justice—increasingly the service delivery point for adolescents with substance abuse and co-occurring problems lacking resources for other assistance—can be a model for improved and expanded, yet cost-effective, adolescent substance abuse treatment. An emergent standard of care challenges systemic inequities; a new service array facilitates dialogue among justice and treatment professionals, families, and the youth themselves. Such evidence-based practice—and the policy to implement it—have the power to transform disconnected laws, programs and professionals into an effective, efficient and successful community of responders, helping youth reclaim their lives while improving public health and public safety.

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 relationship between minimum wage increases and youth employment is investigated using county-level data and spatial econometric
techniques. Results that account for spatial correlation indicate that a 10% increase in the effective minimum wage is associated
with a 3.2% decrease in youth employment, a result that is 28% higher than the corresponding estimate that does not control
for spatial correlation. Thus, estimates that do not take into account spatial correlation may significantly underestimate
the negative effect of the minimum wage on teenage employment. Improperly controlling for factors that vary systematically
over space can lead to incorrect inferences and misinform policy.

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.

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.

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.

Using data collected from surveys conducted in 1990 and 2000, we examine changes in the administrative practices of US-based
national and international unions. We examine the hiring, human resource, financial, strategic planning, and organizational
practices and how they have changed over time. We find that unions are changing their staff hiring practices in ways that
contribute to workforce professionalization and that unions are moving toward more formal human resource policies and more
systematic financial and strategic planning practices. These developments appear to be a reaction to the unions’ changing
operating environment and reflect the pressure on union leaders to make effective use of their declining resources.

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.

This study attempts to evaluate the relative impacts of parents, siblings, and classmates on youth smoking by employing longitudinal
data from the Waterloo Smoking Prevention Program (WSPP), a chronicle of smoking habits of students enrolled in various high
schools in South Western Ontario, between 1993 and 1996. The empirical results reveal household and classmate smoking to be
significant determinants of individual smoking participation as well as daily smoking. Specifically, an increase in the proportion
of classmates who admit to smoking and cigarette consumption by an elder sibling, are both significantly correlated with a
higher probability of youth smoking. This is a consistent finding across OLS, within-individual, and IV estimates. Finally,
simple OLS estimates suggest the presence of non-linear effects with respect to classmate smoking.

Evidence of the Effectiveness of Child Support and Visitation: Examining Food Insecurity among Children with Nonresident Fathers 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Over six million children who reside with a single mother and have a father who lives elsewhere are food insecure. This study
examines the effectiveness of two aspects of nonresident father involvement, in-person visitation and financial contributions,
in reducing food acquisition problems using data from the National Survey of America’s Families. We find that frequent visits
by nonresident fathers are related to a reduced likelihood that the resident mother’s household will experience indicators
of food insecurity. The effects of child support receipt on reducing food acquisition problems, however, are less consistent.
Our results support policies designed to recognize and encourage nonresidential parents to make both monetary and nonmonetary
contributions to the lives of their children.

Current service delivery for at-risk youth is through four separate systems: special education; mental health and substance
abuse; juvenile justice; and child welfare. Many youth (and their families) are involved with more than one of these systems,
making early disability identification and subsequent systems coordination paramount in leading to more successful juvenile
court outcomes. This coordination is an important and prioritized public policy concern because a majority of youth (disproportionately
minority) within juvenile justice populations has been identified with mental health disorders, special education disabilities,
or maltreatment histories. This study of a unique sample of probation-supervised delinquent youths (n = 397) identifies these disabilities and their corresponding court supervision, detention, and incarceration outcomes for
a 48-month period in Cuyahoga County, Ohio (greater Cleveland). Within this youth sample over 32% had a special education
disability, over 39% had a mental health disorder, over 32% had a substance abuse disorder, and over 56% were victims of maltreatment.
Even higher disability rates were found for those youth who were subsequently detained or incarcerated. Many of these youth
had multiple disabilities (and subsequently poorer juvenile court outcomes) and were concurrently involved in more than one
disability service system. Policy and client services implications are reviewed and discussed.

Transference enactments play a central role in clinical supervision regardless of whether supervisors or supervisees consciously
recognize or acknowledge their presence. Supervisors who do recognize enactments better understand the core issues that interfere
with supervisees’ capacity to relate therapeutically to patients. Supervisory process is markedly enhanced when supervisors
consciously study manifestations of transference within the supervisory relationship and respond to them correctively. Corrective
interventions, whether purposeful or unintentional, expand supervisees’ relational and self-reflective capacities.

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.

The paper argues that the current emerging international development policies of the Visegrád (V4) countries are heavily influenced
by the certain aspects of the Communist past and the transition process. Due to these influences, the V4 countries have difficulties
in adapting the foreign aid practices of Western donors and this leads to the emergence of a unique Central and Eastern European
development cooperation model. As an analytical background, the paper builds on the path dependency theory of transition.
A certain degree of path dependence is clearly visible in V4 foreign aid policies, and the paper analyses some aspects of
this phenomenon: how these new emerging foreign aid donors select their partner countries, how much they spend on aid, how
they formulate their aid delivery policies and institutions and what role the non-state actors play. The main conclusions
of the paper are that the legacies of the Communist past have a clear influence and the V4 countries still have a long way
to go in adapting their aid policies to international requirements.

Absent fathers are often excluded from the treatment of their children for various reasons. They are often marginalized by
mothers, and unintentionally excluded by clinicians. Absent fathers are also excluded from treatment in fear that their presence
might undermine the competencies of single mothers, which social service agencies serve to empower. This article will discuss
the potential benefits of including absent fathers in family therapy, and how to work with them once engaged in treatment.

This study explores the imagined interactions college students have with their parents about money and credit, their attitudes
toward credit and money, the ways they say their parents deal with financial decisions, and the communication coalitions regarding
finances they perceive existing within their family. Students’ imagined interaction pleasantness is greatest when parents
jointly form a plan for paying off credit card debt and lowest when parents argue. When family coalitions exist, students
report more frequent imagined interactions. Imagined interaction frequency and pleasantness are related to credit and money
attitudes.
