Return Migration, Human Capital, And Labor Outcomes, Avinandan Chakraborty Jul 2022

Return Migration, Human Capital, And Labor Outcomes, Avinandan Chakraborty

Economics ETDs

This dissertation is a collection of chapters that demonstrate the relationship between return migration, human capital, and labor outcomes in the origin developing countries. Return migration is an intrinsic part of the cycle of international migration and development. Migrants acquire new skills, accumulate human capital and savings during their stay abroad. When they return, this accumulated capital may generate benefits for the left behind family members but may also affect their reintegration into the labor markets in the origin countries.

In my first chapter, I estimate the effect of a return migrant in the household on the schooling outcomes of …

Essays On The Factors That Contribute To Body Mass Index, Veronica Salinas Dec 2018

Essays On The Factors That Contribute To Body Mass Index, Veronica Salinas

Economics ETDs

Using diet, exercise, consumer behavior, and demographic data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), I examine the factors that contribute to body mass index (BMI) for the adult working age population. In Chapters 2 and 3, I examine how female BMI varies by race and ethnicity. In Chapter 4, I study the effect of food deserts on BMI and obesity for both males and females.

In Chapter 2, I use Bayesian Model Averaging (BMA) to examine the factors that influence female BMI for the adult working age population. Results indicate 12 of the 40 covariates are strongly …


The Critical Need For Mental Health Education To Be Mandated In New Mexico's Public Schools, Bonnie L. Murphy Nov 2018

The Critical Need For Mental Health Education To Be Mandated In New Mexico's Public Schools, Bonnie L. Murphy

Shared Knowledge Conference

Based on a review of research and best practices in mental health awareness and skills, this inquiry project argues for state legislative policies that would require mental health awareness and skills in the K-12 curriculum. Mental health affects individual accomplishments in every stage of people’s lives beginning in early childhood and throughout the life cycle. Prevention and treatment of mental illness plays a key role in the ability of an individual to cope with loss and develop resiliency and perseverance in challenging times and to make better decisions that improve the individual’s life and the lives of those around them. …


Transitions From Higher Education To The Labor Market: Merit Aid, Time To Degree Signals, And Major Choice, Christopher P. Erwin May 2018

Transitions From Higher Education To The Labor Market: Merit Aid, Time To Degree Signals, And Major Choice, Christopher P. Erwin

Economics ETDs

Human capital production is central to economic wellbeing from a national perspective: it improves productivity, spurs technological innovation, and promotes sustainable economic growth over time. Equally important, investments in human capital are central to economic wellbeing at the individual level. College graduates tend to earn more money, are more employable, are better able to manage economic downturns, and have even been shown to have better health. Moreover, for many students, the college experience is an important lesson in living independently, developing social and professional networks, and generally taking on more responsibility in one’s life. It has been said that pursuing …


Reversing The Flood Of Forced Displacement: Shedding Light On Important Determinants Of Return Migration, Prakash Adhikari Ph.D., Wendy L. Hansen Ph.D. Jan 2014

Reversing The Flood Of Forced Displacement: Shedding Light On Important Determinants Of Return Migration, Prakash Adhikari Ph.D., Wendy L. Hansen Ph.D.

Himalayan Research Papers Archive

Most current research on forced migration focuses on explaining patterns of displacement during armed conflicts and the role that social networks play in pulling people away from conflict torn areas. But what happens to displaced persons after a conflict ends? While many of these individuals are able to resettle in the place to which they fled during conflict, some individuals return to their places of origin while others remain in limbo. This research seeks to better understand behavior after flight. Using a rational choice framework, we theorize that people are strategic in their calculations of the costs and benefits of …

Economic Integration And Economic Development In Central America, Angel David Sandoval May 1961

Economic Integration And Economic Development In Central America, Angel David Sandoval

Economics ETDs

The thesis of this paper is that economic integration can lead Central America to much higher levels of living for her people, but this will be accomplished only if the economic structure of the region is greatly modified. Correcting the structural faults of the Central American economics will also require economic integration. Such structural weaknesses as inadequate medical personal care, limited provision for education of the masses, out-moded fiscal systems, insufficient and inefficient transportation systems, lethargic public administration, the great gap between the incomes of upper classes and the masses of the people, and the concentration of land ownership in …


An Appraisal Of Techniques Employed In Occupational Wage Surveys For Communities, Henry Wilson Maglidt Jun 1955

An Appraisal Of Techniques Employed In Occupational Wage Surveys For Communities, Henry Wilson Maglidt

Economics ETDs

For some years the writer has noticed that studies of wage rates available for general use pertain to wage conditions by industry on a national or regional basis. Literature on the subject bears upon methods employed in studies on a wide scale, or on studies of large cities or important concentrated industrial centers. There appears to be a dearth of literature on the subject of conducting wage surveys on a community basis in the smaller cities and less populated areas. Therefore, in the Fall of 1951, the writer, in connection with graduate work and the University of New Mexico, undertook …


A Study Of Unionism In The Broadcasting And Television Industries, Noel Martin Daniel May 1955

A Study Of Unionism In The Broadcasting And Television Industries, Noel Martin Daniel

Economics ETDs

It is the purpose of the thesis on the basis of the evidence presented to demonstrate that technological development in the television industry resolves both the jurisdictional and unemployment problems. Rather than resorting to immediate objectives in their collective bargaining agreements with employers the unions should promote long-term programs consistent with technological change. In their historical patterns of collective bargaining the unions have not demonstrated this broad point of view. On the other hand management in the broadcasting-telecasting industry shares with labor this responsibility in meeting the problems of technological change. Too often management has been concerned with limiting the …
