Who Creates Stable Jobs? Evidence from Brazil
A popular perception of the US economy is that small businesses create most of the private sector jobs. However, recent work showed that firm age is a more important determinant of job creation than firm size (Haltiwanger, Jarmin, & Miranda, 2013). The authors show that young firms and start-ups contribute more to job creation in the US economy than do small firms. However, young firms and star...
متن کاملAbsolute versus relative likelihood judgment
In this paper we investigate how people construct absolute and relative likelihood judgments. We document systematic violations of two fundamental probability axioms that can occur when evidence for an event H and its complement not-H are stronger than evidence for another event L and its complement not-L. First, H is judged “more likely” than L, while L is assigned a higher probability than H,...
متن کاملStunted Growth: Why Don’t African Firms Create More Jobs?
Many countries in Africa suffer high rates of underemployment or low rates of productive employment; many also anticipate large numbers of people to enter the workforce in the near future. This paper asks the question: Are African firms creating fewer jobs than those located elsewhere? And, if so, why? One reason may be that weak business environments slow the growth of firms and distort the al...
متن کاملAbsolute and relative pitch: Global versus local processing of chords
Absolute pitch (AP) is the ability to identify or produce notes without any reference note. An ongoing debate exists regarding the benefits or disadvantages of AP in processing music. One of the main issues in this context is whether the categorical perception of pitch in AP possessors may interfere in processing tasks requiring relative pitch (RP). Previous studies, focusing mainly on melodic ...
متن کاملRelative versus absolute stimulus control in the temporal bisection task.
When subjects learn to associate two sample durations with two comparison keys, do they learn to associate the keys with the short and long samples (relational hypothesis), or with the specific sample durations (absolute hypothesis)? We exposed 16 pigeons to an ABA design in which phases A and B corresponded to tasks using samples of 1 s and 4 s, or 4 s and 16 s. Across phases, we varied the ma...
