Migration And Housing Price Effects Of Place-Based College Scholarships, Timothy J. Bartik, Nathan Sotherland Dec 2015

Migration And Housing Price Effects Of Place-Based College Scholarships, Timothy J. Bartik, Nathan Sotherland

Upjohn Institute Working Papers

Place-based college scholarships, such as the Kalamazoo Promise, provide students who live in a particular place, and/or who attend a particular school district, with generous college scholarships. An important potential benefit from such “Promise programs” is their short-term effects on local economic development. Generous Promise scholarships provide an incentive for families to locate in a particular place, which may change migration patterns, and potentially boost local employment and housing prices. Using data from the American Community Survey, this paper estimates the average effects of eight relatively generous Promise programs on migration rates and housing prices in their local labor market. …

Exposition À Des Agents Pouvant Causer L’Asthme Professionnel : Utilisation Du Test D’Activation Des Basophiles Pour L’Identification Précoce De La Sensibilisation Allergique Chez Les Travailleurs, Karim Maghni, Jean-Luc Malo, Catherine Lemière

Rapports de recherche scientifique

L’asthme professionnel est un type d’asthme causé par un agent présent dans les milieux de travail. Le type principal d’asthme professionnel est celui qui est causé par le développement d’une « allergie » à certains agents présents dans le milieu de travail. La mise en évidence de cette « allergie » est une étape essentielle de l’investigation clinique ou de l’élaboration de programmes de prévention. En effet, la maladie ne peut, par définition, être présente s’il n’existe pas d’allergie démontrée. Dans l’état actuel des connaissances, l’allergie, celle de type immédiate associée à une sensibilisation avec la formation d’immunoglobulines de type …
