This study aims to understand how characteristics of a labor flow network affect firm productivity using an inter-firm hiring network constructed from individual job histories. We separate IT-labor from non-IT labor and use the network measures constructed from the two types of labor flow to evaluate how they affect firm performance. We find that hiring IT workers from a diverse set of firms ca...

New Keynesian models for which firms unilaterally adjust labor along both the intensive, and extensive margins usually fail to reproduce volatility of unemployment. In this paper, we show that a marginal wage much more responsive than average shocks—in accordance with empirical observations—is crucial mechanism allowing these replicate unemployment dynamics. At same time, large movements are co...

In recent decades, most cities in China have experienced a large number of population movements, and the local integration mobile populations has become new challenge, not only relation to their own quality life, but also development potential cities. While urban housing prices soared, real estate gradually main economic industry China, high brought enormous pressure this group. This paper anal...

This paper investigates the impact of immigration on market prices and how natives respond by examining how inflows of immigrant students and immigrant labor affect the postsecondary enrollment of natives. Existing studies have focused on the effect of increased immigrant demand for schooling on native enrollment, omitting the effect that changes in immigrant labor supply also have on prices re...

This article argues that neither the share of the workforce in self-employment nor the labor turnover rate are useful measures of labor market distortion or rigidity unless adjusted for country-specific economic and demographic variables. A growth model that incorporates efficiency wage effects and offers an alternative to traditional models of informal self-employment is developed and is used ...

Anencephaly is one of the most frequent type of all fetal monstrosities. Sprangler7, who studied 11,52i births, has reported the incidence of anencephaly as I in every goo, or approximately O.1 per cent. The condition was not successfully diagnosed previous to labor until 1917, when Case2 reported such a monstrosity, recognized roentgenologically before the onset of labor. Since that time there...

The gold standards for measurement of sleep and wake are polysomnography (PSG) and the multiple sleep latency test (MSLT) and will remain so. Both tests are labor intensive and expensive when seen from the viewpoint of the sleep laboratory and a heavy burden for the patient, in particular for children and their parents. Furthermore, the use of MSLT in children is hampered by the lack of reliabl...
