Reemployment And Earnings Recovery Among Older Unemployment Insurance Claimants, Christopher J. O'Leary, Randall W. Eberts Jan 2007

Reemployment And Earnings Recovery Among Older Unemployment Insurance Claimants, Christopher J. O'Leary, Randall W. Eberts

Upjohn Institute Working Papers

The rate of involuntary job loss among older workers has increased in recent years. Previous research has found that after job separation older workers take longer to get back in jobs, and experience bigger earnings declines than younger prime age workers. These studies were based on surveys targeted at older and dislocated workers, which rely on retrospective interviews of strategic samples from the general labor force. Previous studies have not explicitly accounted for the availability of unemployment insurance (UI) benefits between jobs. This paper compares the adjustment to involuntary unemployment of older and younger prime age UI claimants, using a …

Structural Reinterpretation Of Poverty By Examining Working Poverty: Implications For Community And Policy Practice, Philip Young P. Hong, Stephen Wernet Jan 2007

Structural Reinterpretation Of Poverty By Examining Working Poverty: Implications For Community And Policy Practice, Philip Young P. Hong, Stephen Wernet

Social Work: School of Social Work Faculty Publications and Other Works

This exploratory research focused on the structural context of working poverty, thereby transcending its individual or behavioral aspects. Two major questions guided this study: (1) How are the working poor different compared to the working nonpoor? (2) How do structural conditions affect the chances of one being working poor? Central findings of the study were that four primary sets of factors—demographic, human capital, employment barriers, and labor market positions—contribute to an individual's likelihood of being among the working poor. The structural factors—employment barriers and labor market positions—significantly contributed to the effects of human capital and demographic variables. All four factors …

Promises And Platitudes: Toward A New 21st Century Paradigm For Corporate Codes Of Conduct, Mark B. Baker Jan 2007

Promises And Platitudes: Toward A New 21st Century Paradigm For Corporate Codes Of Conduct, Mark B. Baker

Connecticut Journal of International Law

Imagine, if you will, holding a seat on the board of directors of a modem multinational enterprise. As you attend your first meeting of the board, one thing becomes abundantly clear- every strategic decision must be made not only with the profitability of the company in mind, but in the context of a myriad of "stakeholders". As the corporation's counsel advises the board she speaks about a number of matters including the specter of Sarbanes-Oxley (Sox), the pressure from groups such as the "greens" (environmental activists), "fair traders" (paying for raw materials not at their market price but at a …

The Final Frontier: The Laws Of Armed Conflict And Space Warfare, Jackson Maogoto, Steven Freeland Jan 2007

The Final Frontier: The Laws Of Armed Conflict And Space Warfare, Jackson Maogoto, Steven Freeland

Connecticut Journal of International Law

On December 14, 2001, in an effort to consolidate its policy of 'space control,' United States President George Bush announced the withdrawal of the United States from the Treaty on the Limitation of Anti-Ballistic Missile Systems (ABM Treaty),5 invoking Article 15 of that instrument.6 The key reason given by President Bush for the decision to withdraw from the treaty was because it was outdated and a relic of the Cold War.' However, there was a more practical purpose, since the ABM Treaty expressly prohibited the development, testing and deployment of seabased, air-based, space-based, and mobile land-based ABM systems As a …

Legalization And The Mediation Of International Disputes: The Balkan Experience, Darrel Menthe Jan 2007

Legalization And The Mediation Of International Disputes: The Balkan Experience, Darrel Menthe

Connecticut Journal of International Law

This article examines three cases of attempted mediation of civil wars in the Balkans in the 1990s (Bosnia, Kosovo, and Macedonia) and analyzes them with respect to the degree of legalization of the mediation. Legalization in this context means the framing of political disputes in terms of legal rights, principles, and entitlements in preference to more concrete political goals. This article builds a theory of the interaction of legalization and mediation around familiar insights from game theory, showing legalization frequently frames political disputes in ways that are less amenable to negotiated settlement. It argues that unthinking reliance on international law …
