Labor tying

چکیده
We study labor-tying in a competitive agricultural economy. The co-existence of seasonal fluctuations in income and imperfect credit markets suggests that tied contracts should dominate casual labor markets. However, empirical observation from India suggests that this is far from being the case, and indeed, that there is a declining trend in labor tying. We consider a model that permits deviations ex-post from mutually agreed implicit contracts. In equilibrium, casual labor markets are always active despite the presence of seasonality, and a variety of implications are derived that link economic growth, changing information flows, and the decline of labor tying over time.

International Labor Standards: From Theory to Policy
This paper reexamines the theoretical literature on international labor standards, providing an overview of its main analytical arguments. Among the situations in which a case for labor standards may arise are imperfections in labor markets, market power effects in international trade, and concerns that consumers may have about the working conditions or rights that workers enjoy. The paper emph...
متن کاملAnalysis and Physics of Laparoscopic Intracorporeal Square-Knot Tying
Square knots are often used in open surgery to approximate tissue borders or tie off tubular structures like vessels or ducts. Three common methods are used for surgical square-knot tying: one-hand tying, two-hand tying, and the instrument-tying technique. Two types of suture placements are studied in both the open and laparoscopic surgical fields. The first called equal length has suture segme...
متن کاملEffects Of Rebar Tying Machine On Trunk Flexion And Productivity
A before-and-after experimental design was conducted to evaluate the potential reduction in the risk of musculoskeletal injuries to concrete reinforcement workers when using an automatic rebar tying machine. Eleven (11) concrete reinforcement workers participated in this experiment. All dependent variables (trunk posture, and rebar tying time) were measured before and after implementing the reb...
متن کاملCharacterizing Deletion Transformations Across Dialects Using a Sophisticated Tying Mechanism
We propose a sophisticated tying mechanism for modeling deletion transfonnations between dialects. We empirically show that the proposed tying mechanism reduces deletion errors by 33% when compared to a baseline system using a standard tying mechanism. Statistical tests show that the proposed and baseline models make statistically diOcrcnt errors, thus suggesting that they are complementary sys...
متن کاملEvaluation of Specialized Laparoscopic Suturing and Tying Devices
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic suturing and tying constitute advanced minimally invasive surgery skills. Developing proficiency in the standard methods with needle drivers is often an arduous process. Recent advances in laparoscopic instrumentations has allowed for easier methods of suturing and tying. This study investigated the hypothesis that the use of a specialized suturing device and a specializ...
