Efficiency Mages. Mark-Up Pricing And Effective Demand, Peter Skott
Efficiency Mages. Mark-Up Pricing And Effective Demand, Peter Skott
Peter Skott
The combination of an efficiency wage approach with the explicit consideration of pricinq and product market conditions leads to the existence of a unique NAIRU. The value of the NAIRU can be influenced by a variety of supply side policies but aqqreqate demand policies may also play a role. The effort function will be related to workers' waqe aspirations and if waqe aspirations depend on past outcomes of the distributional struqqle then an important element of hysteresis is introduced into the system. Expansionary demand policies which increase employment will be asaociated with unanticipated inflation. Real waqes will fall below the …

Foot And Word In Prosodic Morphology: The Arabic Broken Plural, John J. Mccarthy, Alan Prince
John J. McCarthy
This article proposes a theory of Prosodic Domain Circumscription, by means of which rules sensitive to morphological domain may be restricted to a prosodically characterized (sub-)domain in a word or stem. The theory is illustrated primarily by a comprehensive analysis of the Arabic broken plural; it is further supported by analysis of a number of processes from other languages, yielding a formal typology of domain-circumscription effects. The results obtained here depend on, and therefore confirm, two central principles of Prosodic Morphology: (1) the Prosodic Morphology Hypothesis, which requires that templates be expressed in prosodic, not segmental terms; and (2) the …

Beginning A Career: A Bronx Autobiography, Joel Halpern
Joel M. Halpern
This article begins where the initial account, "The pulley, A Memoir of a Bronx Industry," ends. In some ways my father paints an idealized picture. His eagerness and dedication seem somewhat out of place in today's world, but many aspects of the world he describes are still familiar to an older generation although contexts have drastically changed.

Food Safety Policy Fights: A U.S. Perspective, Julie Caswell
Julie Caswell
Perspective is very important in understanding the area of food safety. This importance is illustrated by a favorite cartoon of mine that features an older, experienced mouse giving advice to a young mouse. The older mouse, in wrapping up, says to the younger, "... and stay away from scientists— they cause cancer." Facing an avalanche of infor-mation on links between diet and health, consumers may, in frustration, sympathize with the mouse's view, and are having some difficulty sorting out which are the important cause-and-effect relation-ships. Government and industry also are struggling to develop a coherent approach to food safety and …
Book Review Of America's Ailing Cities: Fiscal Health And The Design Of Urban Policy, John Mullin
Book Review Of America's Ailing Cities: Fiscal Health And The Design Of Urban Policy, John Mullin
John R. Mullin
Over the past decade it has become increasingly clear that many of our larger cities are slowly and steadily moving toward fiscal hard times. Often this trend has been hidden by the polish, glitter, and glitz of showplace downtowns, shopping plazas, and highrise office complexes. Other times it has been hidden by defrayed maintenance of infrastructure, a subtle erosion of services to specific sub-groups in the community, or the collapse of capital improvement planning.
