Wage Determination and Distribution in Japan (Japan Business &, Economics S.)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Japan experienced a period of strong industrialization in the 1950s and 1960s, reaching an exceptionally high level of per-capita GNP or per-capita income. After the two oil crises, the growth rate of the economy declined and has since stabilized, at which point Japan`s macroeconomic performance, in particular the level of unemployment, has been considerably better than that of other industrialized countries. This book investigates the empirical and theoretical issues of wage determination and wage differentials in Japan since the War, concentrating on recent developments. It also examines the relationship between the role of wages and such features of the labour market as employment and unemployment. [detailed...]

Dale T. Mortensen
Wage Dispersion: Why Are Similar Workers Paid Differently? (Zeuthen Lectures)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Why are workers with identical skills found in both `good` jobs and `bad` jobs? Why are workers who do similar jobs paid differently, contrary to standard competitive theory? Observable differences in workers doing the same job account for only 30 percent of wage variation. In Wage Dispersion , Dale Mortensen examines the reasons for pay differentials in the other 70 percent. He finds that these differentials, or wage dispersion, are largely the result of job search friction (which arises when workers do not know the wages offered by all employers) and cross-firm differences in wage policy and productivity. Mortensen examines previous theoretical explanations for wage dispersion, testing them against data from a Danish matched employer-employee database. He begins by offering a simple one-period model of the problem, then expands this basic model intertemporally to include the role of on-the-job worker search behavior. Following this, he discusses theoretical… [detailed...]

Wage-Earning Women: Industrial Work and Family Life in the United States 1900-1930 (Galaxy Books)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: With the first generations of wage-earning women, precedents were established that still operate in today`s workforce. An understanding of the early decades of this century is thus essential for women`s studies, labor history, and sociology. Writing witha keen eye for detail as well as a real empathy with these women, Leslie Tentler reconstructs the day-to-day realities of life on the job, in the home and in the industrial neighborhoods of major cities. In doing so, she explores the myth that jobs outside the home for this generation led to women`s emancipation. [detailed...]

Frank W. Taussig
Wages and Capital: An Examination of the Wages Fund Doctrine

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: An American follower of Alfred Marshall, Frank W. Taussig`s prime position at Harvard and his famous 1911 textbook and his control of the Quarterly Journal of Economics helped spread the doctrines of Cambridge Neoclassicism in the United States. Taussigwas an opponent of the idea of a `Marginalist Revolution,` stressing instead the congruity of Classical and Neoclassical economics. He was nonetheless sympathetic to some Austrian principles - notably Bohm-Bawerk`s theory of capital (of which his 1896 book is a demonstration), but he was otherwise generally opposed to Continental marginalism - as well as American Institutionalism. Most of Taussig`s contributions to economics have been on international trade, particularly on the issue of tariffs. Taussig held his powerful Harvard pulpit until 1935, when that chair was handed over to his more colorful successor, Joseph Schumpeter. [detailed...]

Robert A. Margo
Wages and Labor Markets in the United States, 1820-1860 (Nber Series on Long-Term Factors in Economic Development)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Research by economists and economic historians has greatly expanded our knowledge of labor markets and real wages in the United States since the Civil War, but the period from 1820 to 1860 has been far less studied. Robert Margo fills this gap by collecting and analyzing the payroll records of civilians hired by the United States Army and the 1850 and 1860 manuscript federal Censuses of Social Statistics. New wage series are constructed for three occupational groups--common laborers, artisans, and white-collar workers--in each of the four major census regions--Northeast, Midwest, South Atlantic, and South Central--over the period 1820 to 1860, and also for California between 1847 and 1860. Margo uses these data, along with previously collected evidence on prices, to explore a variety of issues central to antebellum economic development. This volume makes a significant contribution to economic history by presenting a vast amount of previously unexamined data to advance the… [detailed...]

Description: `Never in history has there been a black market tamed from the supply side. From Prohibition to prostitution, from gambling to recreational drugs, the story is the same. Supply-side controls act to encourage production and increase profits. At best a fewintermediaries get knocked out of business. But as long as demand persists, the market is served more or less as before. In the meantime, failure to ?win the war? [against crime] becomes a pretext for increasing police budgets, expanding law enforcement powers, and pouring more money into the voracious maw of the prison-industrial complex.`?from the Introduction R. T. Naylor specializes in the study of smuggling, black markets, and international financial crime. Wages of Crime takes the reader into the shadowy underworld of modern criminal business?arms trafficking, gold smuggling, money laundering, and terrorist financing.

Wages, Employment, Distribution and Growth: International Perspectives

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This volume challenges the view that unemployment is exclusively determined by structural characteristics of the labour market and the social benefit system. Macroeconomic policies and investment in capital stock are included in the analysis and are shown to have a major role to play. Wage setting in the labour market has no direct impact on employment but nominal wages set in this market affect the price level. Following mainstream recommendations with respect to labour market reforms in an environment of low growth and serious effective demand problems, may contribute to deflationary risks. Unemployment and `structural reforms` also cause falling labour income shares and more unequal personal income distribution. These developments contribute to slow growth and rising unemployment. This is shown in applying growth models, which rely on the principle of effective demand and which also incorporate the effects of distribution struggle. [detailed...]

Wages, Race, Skills and Space : Lessons from Employers in Detroit`s Auto Industry (Contemporary Urban Affairs, Volume 5)

Publisher: —
Description: This book describes findings of a survey-based qualitative research study conducted among Detroit employers in the auto industry to evaluate explanations for why blacks are no longer catching up with whites in terms of wages, income and employment. A key finding is the fact that black employers were more likely to hire black workers, but both black and white employers with largely black workforces pay significantly lower wages than employers with largely white workforces. This wage difference is the organizing element of subsequent study chapters that address locational considerations, differences in recruitment and hiring practices among firms and possible differences in skill requirements among black and white-owned firms, and/or differences in skill-related worker characteristics among employees.

Wages, Welfare Costs and Inflation in Classical Athens

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: William T. Loomis examines all surviving Athenian wages, salaries, welfare payments and other labor costs to determine what people really were paid for various kinds of work and allowances. These determinations, in turn, enable the author to cast a new and authoritative light on three controversial questions: Was there a `standard wage` in Athens? Were there periods of inflation and deflation? Did Athenians have an `embedded` or a `market` economy? Individual chapters critically examine each surviving wage or other payment in thirteen job categories, including public office holders, soldiers and sailors, priests, oracles, and seers, overseers, architects, and other salaried construction personnel, and prostitutes and pimps. Three additional chapters then consider whether there was a `standard wage,` inflation and deflation in Athens, and the implications of these conclusions for the hotly debated question about the nature of the Athenian economy.

Patrick Carnegy
Wagner and the Art of the Theatre

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The production of Wagner’s operas is fiercely debated. In this groundbreaking stage history Patrick Carnegy vividly evokes the—often scandalous—great productions that have left their mark not only on our understanding of Wagner but on modern theatre as a whole. He examines the way in which Wagner himself staged his works, showing that the composer remained dissatisfied with even the best of his productions. After Wagner’s death the scenic challenge was taken up by the Swiss visionary Adolphe Appia, by Gustav Mahler and Alfred Roller in Vienna, and by Otto Klemperer and Ewald DA?lberg in Berlin. In Russia the Bolsheviks reinvented Wagner as a social revolutionary, while cinema left its indelible imprint on the Wagnerian stage with Eisenstein’s Die WalkA?re in Moscow in 1940. Hitler famously appropriated Wagner for his own ends. Patrick Carnegy unscrambles the interaction of politics and stage production, describing how post-war German… [detailed...]

Wagner and the Wonder of Art: An Introduction to Die Meistersinger

2007 y.
Publisher: University of Toronto Press
Description: Richard Wagner`s `Die Meistersinger` has always called forth superlatives from those who have fallen under its spell. Toscanini wanted to lay his baton down for the last time only after he had conducted a performance of it. Paderewski called it `the greatest work of genius ever achieved by any artist in any field of human endeavour.` H.L.Mencken declared, `It took more skill to plan and write it than it took to plan and write the whole canon of Shakespeare.` And yet Wagner`s many-splendoured comedy has come under severe criticism in recent years for what has been called its `dark underside,` its `fascist brutality,` and its `ugly anti-Semitism.` In `Wagner and the Wonder of Art`, renowned opera expert M.Owen Lee addresses that criticism. He also provides an introduction to the opera and an analysis that will surprise even those veteran operagoers who may not have explored the work`s intricate structure and the emotional drama at its centre. The book includes the on-air commentary… [detailed...]

Publisher: Wordsworth Editions Limited
Description: In the midst of a wood of evergreens on the banks of the Arno, a man - young, handsome, and splendidly attired - has thrown himself upon the ground, where he writhes like a stricken serpent. He is the prey of a demoniac excitement: an appalling consternation is upon him - madness is in his brain - his mind is on fire. Lightnings appear to gleam from his eyes - as if his soul were dismayed, and withering within his breast. `Oh! no -no!` he cries with a piercing shriek, as if wrestling madly - furiously - but vainly, against some unseen fiend that holds him in his grasp. Aged and deserted, Fernand Wagner agrees to serve John Faust for the last year of his life. In return he is given youth, wealth and beauty - but at the terrible price of becoming a werewolf. He loves the glacial, beautiful, sesual Nisida, whose family history conceals a dreadful secret. Together they flee from Florence to a desert island: but dogged by the Inquisition, and by the might of the Ottoman Empire, they… [detailed...]

Wagner`s Ring : A Listener`s Companion and Concordance

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Amazon.comIt is said that more books have been written about Wagner`s life, operas, and theories of drama than about any other artist and his oeuvre. One might ask why a writer would attempt yet another discourse on the Ring and Wagner`s mighty labor in producing it. The answer might simply be that the very complexity and variety of existing sources provides an embarrassment of riches to the Wagnerian neophyte, while veteran Wagnerians with a couple of Ring performances under their belts, and a few more in their CD libraries, may want a single volume that contains most of the information one might otherwise have to pursue through half a dozen different references. Holman`s approach to the work is refreshingly straightforward. Neither a professional musician nor a journalist--in real life, he`s a banker--he brings insights to this work that have perhaps escaped those who spend their entire lives working with music. While he gives a passing nod to Jungian… [detailed...]

Wait Until Dark

2001 y.
Publisher: Pocket
Description: Penned by some of the genre`s more talented writers, this diverse quartet of not-always-predictable suspense novellas will have readers thinking twice about whom to trust and about being on their own, especially after dark. Veteran author Robards leads of with `Manna from Heaven,` a fast-paced, humor-touched adventure involving falling bodies, drug rings, assorted wild animals, and a take-charge hero. Andrea Kane`s `Stone Cold` adds a dysfunctional family touch when an unexpected inheritance from an archiect`s biological father triggers dangerous reactions from her `legitimate` relatives. Particularly memorable are the two final novellas, Linda Anderson`s `Once in a Blue Moon,` a deceptively chilling tale of a small-town librarian who becomes a psychopaths stalking victim, and `Til Death Do Us Part,` Mariah Stewart`s eerie story of a model who ends up the target of a marriage-minded killer. Spine-tingling reading for a warm summer`s night. [detailed...]
