This paper examines 1,313 regions from 46 developing countries to document that individuals working outside the context of a firm (own-account workers and family workers) are consistently overrepresented among poorest in their labor markets.JEL Codes: I32, J21.

A method is described for the large-scale purification of the Bacillus thuringiensis protein crystal by zonal gradient centrifugation. NaBr gradients are employed in a Beckman J21-B centrifuge equipped with a JCF-Z rotor.

Business cycle recoveries have slowed in recent decades. This slowdown comes entirely from female employment, as women’s employment rates converged toward men’s during the past half-century. But does growth of translate into a for overall rates? We estimate extent to which women “crowd out” men labor market across US states, and find that it is small. Through lens general equilibrium model with...

Abstract We estimate the impact of involuntary unemployment following employer shutdowns during COVID-19 pandemic on American households' past-week food expenditures, free receipt, and sufficiency, as well confidence about next month's adequacy Over April to June 2020, compared with households containing employed respondents, respondents who lost their jobs due coronavirus-induced firm closures...

Introduction and Aim: Carbapenem Resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) have emerged at an alarming rate. Multi locus sequence typing (MLST) is important parameter for identifying drug resistant organisms. The present study was carried out elucidating the mechanisms of CRE MLSTs associated with CRE. Materials Methods: (n=14) were obtained from various clinical samples subjected to Rapidec Carba NP ...

The German Economy is not only affected by the Unification of Germany but by a significant influx of immigrants from abroad and huge migration from East to West Germany around the date of unification. Data from the German Socio-Economic Panel Study (GSOEP) allows to disentangle those effects by decomposition of the Theil I (0)-Index of inequality. In addition, the paper offers insights in the t...

This study presents credible estimates for the causal eff ect of a variation in obesity on employment. By exploring random assignment of a weight loss intervention based on monetary rewards, I provide convincing evidence that weight loss positively aff ects the employment prospects of obese women but not of obese men. Consistent with this, signifi cant eff ects of weight loss on proxy variables...

We use the algorithm of Cole et al. (2000) to generate merger trees for the first star clusters in a ΛCDM cosmology under an isotropic UV background radiation field, parametrized by J21. We have investigated the problem in two ways: a global radiation background and local radiative feedback surrounding the first star clusters. Cooling in the first halos at high redshift is dominated by molecula...

Using data on workers’ flows into and out of employment, unemployment, and not-in-the-laborforce, I construct transition probabilities between “employment” and “unemployment” that can be used in the calibration of economies such as Krusell and Smith’s (1998). I show that calibration in Krusell and Smith has some counterfactual features. Yet the gains from adopting alternative calibrations in te...

Young People and the Great Recession This article reviews the effects of the Great Recession on youth labour markets. We argue that young people aged 16-24 have suffered disproportionately during the recession. Using the USA and UK as case studies, we analyse youth unemployment using microdata. We argue that there is convincing evidence that the effects of unemployment when young impose costs o...
