The Job Of Human Capital: What Occupational Data Reveal About Skill Sets, Economic Growth And Regional Competitiveness, Lillian Frances Stewart

ETD Archive

A region's workforce has been described as its greatest asset. Guided by human capital theory and new growth theory, regions have pursued economic development policies to increase the number of college-educated workers and expand the pool of STEM -- science, technology, engineering, and math -- talent. Academic literature and policy interventions have focused on a region's human capital in terms of educational attainment instead of a more fine-grained definition of human capital based on skills and competencies. This dissertation integrates economic and business theory and combines three federal databases to explore regional human capital assets. Findings suggest that policymakers may …

2015 香港快樂指數調查 Hong Kong Happiness Index Survey 2015, Lok Sang Ho

Hong Kong Happiness Index 香港快樂指數調查

由嶺南大學公共政策研究中心進行的「香港快樂指數調查」結果顯示，香港人於2015年的快樂指數為70.0（以0-100分計算），稍低於去年的70.5。較為意外的結果是30歲以下受訪者的快樂指數，由67.8回升至69.3。

儘管受訪者對媒體的評價仍處於低水平，但評分由去年的4.76微升至4.89。市民對公共政策質素的滿意度為4.37（以0-10分計算），與去年的4.34相比變化不大；市民對香港生活環境的滿意度，由去年的5.95顯著下跌至今年的5.69；對公共醫療的滿意度，則由去年的6.49下跌至今年的6.30。評分處於6或以上者屬於良好或以上。

家庭月入介乎一萬至二萬元之間的人士的快樂指數，比去年明顯上升7%至6.82；而家庭月入一萬元以下人士亦上升了3%。結果可能反映今年較早時候法定最低工資的提高。家庭月入二萬至三萬元人士的快樂指數則下跌了4.7%。

According to the results of the Hong Kong Happiness Index Survey conducted by Lingnan University’s Centre for Public Policy Studies, the Happiness Index for Hong Kong people in 2015 stands at 70.0 (on a scale of 0 to 100), which is slightly lower than last year’s 70.5. Surprisingly, the Happiness Index of people aged below 30 rose from 67.8 to 69.3.

Respondents’ degree of satisfaction with the media rose slightly to 4.89 from last year’s 4.76, albeit still at a low level. Satisfaction with Hong Kong’s public policy is 4.37 (on …

Livestock Production, Climate Change, And Human Health: Closing The Awareness Gap, Debra L. L. Donahue

Faculty Articles

Livestock should be removed from public lands for myriad reasons Eliminating what is now extensive grazing by ruminants would cut methane emissions with attendant benefits for climate mitigation Removing livestock from public lands also mirrors federal nutrition policy particularly the recommendation to eat less red meat Much of the degraded environmental conditions on public lands and waters caused by ruminant grazing would end thereby enabling improvement or even recovery Finally undertaking this policy shift would make fiscal sense by saving taxpayer dollars

Monopsony Exploitation In Professional Sport: Evidence From Major League Baseball Position Players, 2000-2011, Brad R. Humphreys, Hyunwoong Pyun

Economics Faculty Working Papers Series

Some professional athletes still face monoposony power in labor markets, underscoring the importance of estimating players' marginal revenue product (MRP) to assess its effects. We introduce two new empirical approaches, spline revenue functions and fixed-effects stochastic production functions, into the standard Scully (1974) approach to MRP estimation, and calculate Monoposony Exploitation Ratios (MERs) for position players in Major League Baseball over the 2001-2011 seasons. Estimates indicate that MERs are about 0.89 for rookie players, 0.75 for arbitration eligible players, and 0.21 for free agents. Recent collective bargaining agreements have reduced MERs for free agents, but had no effect on MERs …

Brief Of Amici Curiae Intellectual Property Law Professors In Support Of Appellees, Mark Mckenna

Court Briefs

The District Court correctly determined that Phoenix failed to state a trademark claim because Basket Case’s activities cannot have caused any relevant confusion.1 Phoenix’s fundamental complaint is about unauthorized use of its intangible content—karaoke tracks. Under Dastar v. Twentieth Century Fox Film Corp., 539 U.S. 23 (2003), however, only confusion regarding the source of physical goods is actionable under the Lanham Act; confusion regarding the source of the karaoke tracks or their authorization is not actionable. Phoenix cannot avoid Dastar just because Basket Case creates digital copies of those tracks, as Basket Case does not sell digital files or …

Neighbors Building Community - A Community Empowerment Initiative Through Community Mapping, Mark J. Salling

All Maxine Goodman Levin School of Urban Affairs Publications

Cleveland State University’s Office of Civic Engagement, through an Engaged Learning Enhancement Grant, funded a pilot demonstration project to evaluate the use of community mapping for assisting with community assessments of neighborhood issues in a west side neighborhood of Cleveland. The project used neighborhood residents to collect and map data on a variety of neighborhood issues, specifically dilapidated buildings, potentially dangerous dogs, pot holes, broken sidewalks, offensive graffiti, trash in vacant lots, dead trees, and more.

The pilot project educated the participants about neighborhood issues, while providing the community with documentation on issues that can be presented to council representatives …

Hands Up At Home: Militarized Masculinity And Police Officers Who Commit Intimate Partner Abuse, Leigh Goodmark

BYU Law Review

The deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner and the almost daily news stories about abusive and violent police conduct are currently prompting questions about the appropriate use of force by police officers. Moreover, the history of police brutality directed towards women is well-documented. Most of that literature, however, captures the violence that police do in their public capacity as officers of the state. This Article examines the violence and abuse perpetrated by police in their private lives, against their intimate partners. Although the public and private overlap, the power and training provided to police officers by the state makes …
