We present simulation results for the likely pension outcomes for different defined-contribution (DC) pension plan members distinguished by occupation and gender. While our results suggest that key differences between outcomes depend on the strategic asset allocation strategy chosen (and hence on the rate of return on assets in relation to the growth rate in salaries), we also find that DC plan...

We present simulation results for the likely pension outcomes (measured in terms of the distribution of the pension ratio of actual pension to some fraction of final salary) for different defined contribution pension plan members distinguished by occupation and gender. Whilst our results suggest that key differences between outcomes depend on the strategic asset allocation strategy chosen (and ...

W service occupations are the most susceptible to global disaggregation? What are the factors and mechanisms that make service occupations amenable to global disaggregation? This research addresses these questions by building on previous work by Apte and Mason (1995) and Rai et al. (2006) that focuses on the unbundling of information and physical flows. We propose a theory of service disaggrega...

These job transitions are often within the same occupation or across occupations within wageand-salary employment. The transition can also be out of wage-and-salary work and into self employment. Indeed, n...

Regulation of illegal bushmeat trade is a major conservation challenge in Africa.

Specifically, we asked respondents to choose between hunting or trading bushmeat and a...

Significant variance in salary bargaining attitudes and behaviors was found; attitudinal and demographic differences be tween negotiators an...
