How Destructive Is Creative Destruction? The Costs of Worker Displacement We analyze short and long-term effects of worker displacement. Our focus is on prime-age male workers displaced from Norwegian manufacturing plants. We find that displacement increases the probability of exiting the labor force by about 5 percentage points. This indicates that studies using data that do not incorporate wo...

C atheter displacement is an infrequent but bothersome cause of failure of implanted pacemaker systems. The prevalence of catheter displacement is 6r to 45 per cent2 of all permanent transvenous catheter implantations. Displacement can occur at any time, but is most common within the first month, and has occurred as many as 24 months after implantation.1 Marked catheter displacement usually res...

To realize the stability of the passive magnetic robotic system, a novel combination of permanent magnets is proposed. As we know, a single passive magnetic levitation is impossible to suspend all degrees of freedom of a rigid body; this article researches the combination of multiple passive magnetic bearings by the finite element method (FEM) simulation. Through changing the magnetization dire...

Permanent ground displacements/deformations caused by earthquakes can seriously challenge the safety of nuclear power plants. The state-of-the-art hazard analysis methods provide a fault displacement curve, i.e., annual probability given measure will be exceeded. evaluation requires great effort, empirical evidence, and sufficient data for characterization activity capability to cause permanent...

INTRODUCTION In radiotherapy, megaelectron volt (MeV) electrons are employed for treatment of superficial cancers. Magnetic fields can be used for deflection and deformation of the electron flow. A magnetic field is composed of non-uniform permanent magnets. The primary electrons are not mono-energetic and completely parallel. Calculation of electron beam deflection requires using complex mathe...

This paper explores the causal link between income and fertility by analyzing women’s fertility response to the large and permanent income shock generated by a husband’s job displacement. I find that the shock reduces total fertility, suggesting that the causal effect of income on fertility is positive. A model that incorporates the time cost of children and assortative matching of spouses can ...
