Jameson, Kenneth P. | Data and social science rhetoric: policy and instruction | I believe that social science and empirical investigation can make important contributions to our understanding and to resolution of policy issues, but only if we are clear on the nature of social science and the role of quantification. In particular we must admit the limits of our truth claims, th... | Social sciences; Quantification; Empirical investigation | 1996 |

Von Arnim, Rudiger Lennart | A global model of recovery and rebalancing | This paper presents an investigation of global recovery from the great recession and rebalancing of global external imbalances, using a global model of sixteen countries and composite regions. The model applies to the short run, and only to the real side. Key features are demand-driven output determ... | | 2010-01-01 |

Zick, Cathleen D.; Srisukhumbowornchai, Sivithee | Does housework matter anymore? The shifting impact of housework on economic inequality | In recent years, American women's housework time has declined while American men's housework time has risen. We examine how these changes have affected economic inequality in America. Using time-diary data from the Time Use in Economic and Social Accounts, 1975-76 (N=1,484) and the American Time Use... | Demography; Socioeconomic status; Household duties; Female; Male; United States; Economics | 2006-09-25 |

Fowles, Richard | Cell phone effect on motor vehicle fatality rates: a Bayesian and classical econometric evaluation | This paper examines the potential effect of cell phones on motor vehicle fatality rates normalized for other driving related and socioeconomic factors. The model used is nonlinear so as to address both life-taking and life-saving attributes of cell phones. The model is evaluated using classical meth... | | 2010 |

Waitzman, Norman J. | Half-life of cost-of-illness estimates: the case of Spina Bifida | Neural tube defects, which include spina bifida, are one of the most frequent and important categories of birth defects. Accordingly, there has been considerable interest in studying the impact of spina bifida as a public health problem. This impact can be measured in various ways, including dise... | Spinal cord; Birth defect; Healthcare costs | 2004-10-12 |

Maloney, Thomas N. | Living standards in black and white: evidence from the heights of Ohio prison inmates, 1829-1913 | The use of height data to measure living standards is now a well-established method in the economic history literature. Moreover, a number of core findings are widely agreed upon. There are still some populations, places, and times, however, for which anthropometric evidence remains limited. One su... | Stature, Inequality, Nineteenth century US race relations | 2008-07 |

Bilginsoy, Cihan | Prevailing wage regulations and school construction costs: evidence from British Columbia | The stock of public school buildings constructed during the baby boom is aging along with that generation of Americans. Soon much of this building stock will have to be replaced.(FN1) The financing of this rebuilding of America's schools is an emergent political issue of considerable importance.

Maloney, Thomas N. | Occupation and fertility on the frontier: Evidence from the state of Utah | BACKGROUND Most of what we know about fertility decline in the United States comes from aggregate (often state or county level) data sources. It is difficult to identify variation in fertility change across socio-economic classes in such data, although understanding such variation would provide deep... | | 2014-01-01 |

Li, Minqi | Chinas grain production: a decade of consecutive growth or stagnation? | Some progressive writers have argued that while China's agricultural privatization achieved short-term gains, it did so by undermining longterm production facilities such as the infrastructure and public services built in the socialist era.1 Environmental scholars have questioned the sustainability ... | | 2014-01-01 |

Bilginsoy, Cihan | The hazards of training: attrition and retention in construction industry apprenticeship programs | Apprenticeship programs in the United States, which provide workers with the broad-based skills required for practicing a trade via on-the-job training, are sponsored either unilaterally by employers or jointly by employers and trade unions. A comparison of the attrition and retention rates in these... | | 2003 |

Jameson, Kenneth P. | Measuring the effect of Bi-directional migration remittances on poverty and inequality in Nicaragua | This paper examines the impact of migrants' remittances on poverty and income distribution in Nicaragua. Nicaraguan emigrants are fairly evenly distributed between the United States and Costa Rica. Poorer migrants overwhelmingly migrate to Costa Rica; richer migrants favor the United States. This bi... | | 2011-01-01 |

Maloney, Thomas N. | Personnel policy, costs of experimentation, and racial inequality in the Pre-World War II North | Between 1910 and 1940, the black population of the northern United States nearly tripled, rising from just over I million to more than 2.7 million, signaling the start of the "Great Migration" of African-Americans out of the South. As black workers entered the North, they sought positions in new sec... | Race bias; Personnel policies; African Americans; Employment opportunities | 1999 |

Von Arnim, Rudiger Lennart | Structural transformation in China and India: the role of macroeconomic policies | This paper explores macroeconomic policies that can sustain structural change in China and India.

Maloney, Thomas N. | Degrees of inequality: the advance of black male workers in the northern meat packing and steel industries before World War II | Recent major works on long-term racial inequality in the labor market revolve around competing hypotheses concerning the importance of human capital factors (Smith and Welch 1989) and government policy (Donohue and Heckman 1991) in promoting black advance. There is however, another line or thinking ... | Labor markets; Northern employers; Racial inequality | 1995 |

Maloney, Thomas N. | Making the effort: the racial contours of Detroit's labor markets, 1920-1940 | In 1940 the Ford Motor Company employed half of the black men in Detroit but only 14 percent of the whites. The authors postulate that black Detroiters were concentrated at Ford because they were excluded from working elsewhere. Those most affected were young married black men. A Ford job was vir... | Automotive workers - Black people; Ford Motor Company | 1995 |

Von Arnim, Rudiger Lennart | Wage policy in an open economy kalecki-kaldor model: a simulation study | This paper discusses a Post?Keynesian model of income, production, and trade. The one?country, one?sector model features Kaleckian investment demand, Kaldorian productivity and a labor market module based on a wage?price spiral. The model is first presented for a closed economy with exogenous real w... | | 2010 |
