The Effects of Licensing on the Wages of Radiologic Technologists

We analyze the effect that state licensing of radiologic technologists (RTs) has had upon RT wages with a unique dataset that allows us to control for place of work and job specialization. Using OLS and several measures of licensing, we find evidence that RTs working in states with licensing statutes earn as much as 3.3% more than RTs working in states without licensing. When we control for endogeneity using instrumental variables (IV) estimation, our estimate of the licensing premium doubles (6.9%). Our results provide further support for existing theories of the effects of occupational licensing on the wages of practitioners.

The Heterogeneous Effect of the Passage of the Occupational Safety and Health Act on Stock Returns

I analyze how stock prices reacted to the passage of the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) of 1970. Previous studies focus on accounting measures or actual OSHA violations, and my work complements the literature by examining how shareholders expected OSHA to affect firm profitability. Returns fell around the OSH bill’s release to the House floor and its eventual passage, and average market value dropped by $1.5 million over the 3 days surrounding House Rules Committee release. Durable manufacturing and mining industries were hardest hit in OSH passage, losing $2.6 million and $5.7 million in average market value, respectively. I also find that larger firms with poorer working conditions sustained more negative returns, and market power, not union density, explains variation in expected profitability. Furthermore, future penalties appear unrelated to shareholder expectations about compliance costs.

When Do Benevolent Capitalists Change Their Mind? Explaining the Retrenchment of Defined‐benefit Pensions in Britain

This paper explores the politics of welfare retrenchment, but differs from much of the current literature in this area by focusing not on the decisions of politicians but those of private sector employers. In countries with a large private welfare sector, employers are major social policy players with a significant influence on the generosity of welfare provision, but the rationale behind their actions is not well understood. To explore these issues, a case study is used of the recent fundamental change in UK occupational pension provision, involving a rapid shift from defined‐benefit to defined‐contribution pensions. The paper shows by means of a micro‐simulation of the relative performance of defined‐benefit, defined‐contribution and state pensions that this shift represents a significant retrenchment. It suggests, using historical material, interview data and insights from behavioural economics, that existing explanations for this change, while valuable, have important gaps because they are based on too narrow a conceptualization of business motives. In this regard, the paper highlights the importance of herd behaviour.     

Developing youth workers: Career ladders for sector stability

Youth development principles advocate for supporting young people, while the staff who work with them face chronic issues like heavy workloads and poor support which are linked to job turnover. Prior quantitative research has presented college-based training as a best practice to professionalize and stabilize the youth workforce. Career ladders that are credit-bearing offer youth workers a stackable credential, as well as an entrée into higher education for their personal and professional growth.     

论农民工职业病防治的现实困境与突破

农民工劳动群体是职业病高发群体,他们在得了职业病后往往不知道该如何维护自己的权利。通过分析我国目前农民工职业病防治存在的现实困境:农民工对职业病缺乏了解;农民工处于"双重体制外",劳动关系比较松散;用人单位缺乏责任意识、法律意识;行政机关监管不力等。据此提出相应的措施:加强职业病知识和法律法规的宣传;建立职业病救助基金;简化职业病鉴定程序;对不遵守《职业病防治法》的单位严惩不贷等,以期改善农民工劳动群体职业病防治现状。     

消费者对品牌延伸的评价：拥有者效应

通过运用2水平产品功能类似、2水平形象一致和3水平拥有者关系(母品牌拥有者、竞争品牌拥有者、未使用者)试验设计,探讨了不同消费群体对品牌延伸评价的差异性及其原因。发现延伸产品与原产品功能类似性、延伸产品与母品牌形象一致性对消费者接受延伸产品具有重要影响,但这种影响会因拥有关系而异:母品牌拥有者主要是根据形象一致,竞争品牌拥有者和未使用者主要是根据功能类似对延伸做出评价;竞争品牌使用者则对形象不一致的延伸给予更高的评价。在接触延伸信息后的母品牌评价中,母品牌拥有者的评价与功能一致性正相关,未使用者的评价与形象一致性正相关,而形象与功能一致性对竞争品牌拥有者的评价没有影响。据此推断,延伸评价不一定是一种纯粹的"情感转移过程",而更可能是"利益追求"或"利益驱动"的过程。
