Recent Developments In The Theory Of Involuntary Unemployment, Carl Davidson
Recent Developments In The Theory Of Involuntary Unemployment, Carl Davidson
Upjohn Press
This monograph provides a relatively nontechnical summary of the prominent theories of unemployment that have emerged since 1960: search, disequilibrium, implicit contracts, efficiency wage, and insider/outsider models. Davidson focuses on the overall purpose of each line of research, reviewing selected articles on each of the theories. He then offers clear descriptions that make the topics readily accessible to both students and nonspecialists.

From One Job To The Next: Worker Adjustment In A Changing Labor Market, Adam Seitchik, Jeffrey Zornitsky

Unemployment, Vacancies And Local Labor Markets, Harry J. Holzer
Unemployment, Vacancies And Local Labor Markets, Harry J. Holzer
Upjohn Press
Unemployment rates in the U.S. vary considerably over time and across local areas. Economists have long been concerned with explaining these variations and have attempted to distinguish various components of unemployment to explain these variations in rates. Holzer uses firm-level data on job vacancies, sales growth, and wages within and across a group of 28 local labor markets to examine these issues.
A Second Chance: Training For Jobs, Sar A. Levitan, Frank Gallo
A Second Chance: Training For Jobs, Sar A. Levitan, Frank Gallo
Upjohn Press
Levitan and Gallo make use of their considerable experience and prior research to provide a critical assessment of the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA). The authors evaluate state governments' role in guiding and monitoring the program, and suggest that the success rates are actually lower than the reported official figures. Anyone interested in the JTPA or other job training program will benefit from the assessments provided by the authors in this book.
Advance Notice Provisions In Plant Closing Legislation, Ronald G. Ehrenberg, George Jakubson
Advance Notice Provisions In Plant Closing Legislation, Ronald G. Ehrenberg, George Jakubson
Upjohn Press
After summarizing the theoretical arguments for and against plant closing legislation, the authors present results of empirical analyses, based on the Bureau of Labor Statistics Survey of Displaced Workers and other data sources, that show that having advance notice appears to reduce the probability that a displaced worker will suffer any spell of unemployment.
Plant Closings And Worker Displacement: The Regional Issues, Marie Howland
Plant Closings And Worker Displacement: The Regional Issues, Marie Howland
Upjohn Press
Howland examines the relationship between regional employment shifts and plant closures and describes the implications of that relationship for displaced worker study. Her findings support an argument against industrial policy as a means of slowing the pace of worker dislocation as well as against concession in wages, utility bills, and taxes as strategies for retaining local jobs. Howland also presents several policy options for both national policy makers and local economic development officials, and argues for increased federal support for local takeovers of closing branch plants and subsidiaries and for financial and adjustment assistance for displaced workers.
