Endogenous Growth And The Manufacturing Revolution, Hing-Man Leung Mar 2002

Endogenous Growth And The Manufacturing Revolution, Hing-Man Leung

Research Collection School Of Economics

Manufacturing is undergoing a revolution. Teamwork, job-rotation, multitasking are superseding the Taylorist mode of organization. The skilled workforce, armed with automated machines, is gradually substituting and replacing the unskilled. At the same time the U.S. economy is experiencing record breaking growth. Is faster growth a consequence of this manufacturing revolution? We study this by inserting dynamic career choice into endogenous growth by human capital accumulation. The answer is affirmative: The gradual substitution of the unskilled by the skilled boosts the long-term growth trend. The model also explains worsening wage inequality between as well as within the skilled groups.


Differences In The Functional Neuroanatomy Of Inhibitory Control Across The Adult Life Span, Kristy A. Nielson, Scott Aaron Langenecker, Hugh Garavan Mar 2002

Differences In The Functional Neuroanatomy Of Inhibitory Control Across The Adult Life Span, Kristy A. Nielson, Scott Aaron Langenecker, Hugh Garavan

Psychology Faculty Research and Publications

Inhibitory control, the ability to suppress irrelevant stimuli, is a fundamental cognitive function that deteriorates during aging, but little is understood about the bases of decline. Thus, we used event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to study inhibitory control in healthy adults aged 18 to 78. Activation during "successful inhibition" occurred predominantly in right prefrontal and parietal regions and was more extensive, bilaterally, and prefrontally, in the older groups. Presupplementary motor area was also more active in poorer inhibitory performers. Therefore, older adults activate areas that are comparable to those activated by young adults during inhibition, as well as additional …

Official And Unofficial Civil Religious Discourse, Steven R. Goldzwig

College of Communication Faculty Research and Publications

This essay discusses Roderick P. Hart's unique contribution to the scholarly investigation of civil religion in America.

Olympic Impressions: Drugs, Judging, High Quality Hockey, Richard C. Crepeau

Looking back on the two plus weeks of the Winter Olympics a number of things stand out. As I have noted here this was an extraordinary experience for me as I had never been to any Olympics before. Beyond that I would like to look at three areas that seem of some significance to me.
