Wanted: Live-In Teachers, Chester Smolski
Wanted: Live-In Teachers, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit and Cleveland all have it--a residency requirement--and so does Providence. Having to live in the city for which you work has been deemed to be an important measure in helping to bring people back into the city, and that was the reason it was included in the 1980 Home Rule Charter."
A Pollution Control Approach To Analysis Of The Balanced Budget Amendment, Robert L. Sexton, Dwight R. Lee
A Pollution Control Approach To Analysis Of The Balanced Budget Amendment, Robert L. Sexton, Dwight R. Lee
Robert L Sexton
Fiscal Pollution (excessive budget deficits), in certain aspects, is like environmental pollution. In both types of pollution some, possibly most individuals would be willing to reduce their own pollution if others would do the same. In the case of fiscal pollution individuals would be willing to give up their special interest demands if others would reciprocate in kind. But as long as individuals are forced to pay for the programs of others there is little incentive to reduce their own demands. Hence, restraints on political hehavior such as a balanced budget amendment to the U.S. Constitution are needed to control …
How To Keep Teachers In R.I., Chester Smolski
How To Keep Teachers In R.I., Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Should Providence city employees be forced to live in the city? The Home Rule Charter, adopted five years ago, requires them to do so. The executive secretary of the Providence Teachers' Union states that this requirement should not apply to teachers. But, is dropping the residency requirement the answer to the problem of finding adequate numbers of substitute and full-time teachers?"

On The Decomposition Of Wage Differentials, Jeremiah Cotton
On The Decomposition Of Wage Differentials, Jeremiah Cotton
Economics Faculty Publication Series
The often used method for decomposing wage differentials into human capital and discrimination components is reformulated so that both the disadvantage, or "cost," discrimination imposes on a black or minority wage earner and the advantage, or "benefit," it bestows on a white or majority wage earner can be estimated.
The Relationship Between Social Work And Labor Unions: A History Of Strife And Cooperation, Shulamith Lala Ashenberg Straussner, Norma Kolko Phillips
The Relationship Between Social Work And Labor Unions: A History Of Strife And Cooperation, Shulamith Lala Ashenberg Straussner, Norma Kolko Phillips
The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare
The historical relationship between social work and organized labor has been an ambivalent one, with fluctuations paralleling historical changes in social and political values. This paper examines the changing nature of the relationship, with emphasis on the period from the 1870s to the 1940s. While today's relationship is a mutually beneficial one, the fragile nature of the link between organized labor and the social work community cannot be ignored, particularly in light of the increasing involvement between social work and private industry
Child-Care Costs And Family Labor Supply, Philip K. Robbins, David M. Blau
Child-Care Costs And Family Labor Supply, Philip K. Robbins, David M. Blau
Economics Articles and Papers
The child care industry has expanded rapidly in recent years as a result of growing labor force participation by mothers of young children. Much, but not all, of the child care is being provided through the market. In this paper, a model of family labor supply incorporating both market and nonmarket child care is specified and estimated. The empirical analysis is performed using data from the 1980 baseline household survey of the Employment Opportunity Pilot Projects. The results suggest that both the decision to become employed and the decision to purchase market child care are sensitive to child-care costs. The …
The Change In Factors Affecting Physician Choice Of Practice Location: A Comparison Of Younger And Older Rural And Metropolitan Physicians, Theodore M. Breu
The Change In Factors Affecting Physician Choice Of Practice Location: A Comparison Of Younger And Older Rural And Metropolitan Physicians, Theodore M. Breu
Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science
This study uses multiple discriminant analysis to derive the factors that physicians deem important in their decisions about where to locate their medical practices. Older physicians are compared to younger physicians both within rural areas and within metropolitan areas. Three of the top four discriminating variables for the youngest doctors were influence of the preceptorship period, preference of the spouse, and the repayment of a forgiveness loan. For the oldest group of doctors, two of the top three discriminating variables were the opportunity to join a desirable two-person partnership, and the perception of a high medical need in the area.
Plant Closings And Worker Displacement: The Regional Issues, Marie Howland
Plant Closings And Worker Displacement: The Regional Issues, Marie Howland
Upjohn Press
Howland examines the relationship between regional employment shifts and plant closures and describes the implications of that relationship for displaced worker study. Her findings support an argument against industrial policy as a means of slowing the pace of worker dislocation as well as against concession in wages, utility bills, and taxes as strategies for retaining local jobs. Howland also presents several policy options for both national policy makers and local economic development officials, and argues for increased federal support for local takeovers of closing branch plants and subsidiaries and for financial and adjustment assistance for displaced workers.

Advance Notice Provisions In Plant Closing Legislation, Ronald G. Ehrenberg, George Jakubson
Advance Notice Provisions In Plant Closing Legislation, Ronald G. Ehrenberg, George Jakubson
Upjohn Press
After summarizing the theoretical arguments for and against plant closing legislation, the authors present results of empirical analyses, based on the Bureau of Labor Statistics Survey of Displaced Workers and other data sources, that show that having advance notice appears to reduce the probability that a displaced worker will suffer any spell of unemployment.
International Differences In The Labor Market Performance Of Immigrants, George J. Borjas
International Differences In The Labor Market Performance Of Immigrants, George J. Borjas
Upjohn Press
The author provides substantive insights into the self-selection process that determines the composition of the pool of migrants. He also illustrates the importance of immigration policy in determining both the national origin and skill composition of migrant flow reaching a country of destination.
The Conflict Between Equilibrium And Disequilibrium Theories: The Case Of The U.S. Labor Market, Richard E. Quandt, Harvey S. Rosen
The Conflict Between Equilibrium And Disequilibrium Theories: The Case Of The U.S. Labor Market, Richard E. Quandt, Harvey S. Rosen
Upjohn Press
A fundamental controversy in labor economics is whether unemployment is better viewed as an equilibrium or disequilibrium phenomenon. The authors contend that answers to policy problems related to unemployment will depend on which of the two characterizations of the labor market is accepted. They note the effects of inflation, taxes, and unionization on unemployment and describe those factors' effects on the equilibrium/disequilibrium question by presenting both equilibrium and disequilibrium models of the U.S. labor market.
A Second Chance: Training For Jobs, Sar A. Levitan, Frank Gallo
A Second Chance: Training For Jobs, Sar A. Levitan, Frank Gallo
Upjohn Press
Levitan and Gallo make use of their considerable experience and prior research to provide a critical assessment of the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA). The authors evaluate state governments' role in guiding and monitoring the program, and suggest that the success rates are actually lower than the reported official figures. Anyone interested in the JTPA or other job training program will benefit from the assessments provided by the authors in this book.
