Household Unemployment and The Labour Supply of Married Women

Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: A recent reform to the UK Unemployment Insurance (UI) system has reduced the duration of entitlement from 12 to 6 months. The Ul and welfare systems interact in the UK in such a way that exhaustion of UI for married individuals has potentially large disincentive effects on the labour supply of spouses. A model of labour supply is estimated for married women allowing for endogenous unemployment durations of husbands and wives, using 43531 married couples drawn from UK Family Expenditure Surveys 1978-92. Evaluating the impact of the reform requires that we distinguish between transfer programme induced incentive effects and any correlation between labour supply and wages within couples, any complementarity between the leisure times of spouses, and a possibility of a discouraged worker effect. We find that shifting households with a medium duration unemployed husband from UI onto Income Support, the main UK welfare programme, increases the wife's probability of non-participation by 3.5%, mainly at the expense of part-time work. Should the husband find employment, the wife's probabilities of part-time and full-time work will increase by 2.3 and 9.0% respectively, about half of which is due to the welfare system. Thus the net effect depends on the extent to which the reform affects employment of married men directly. Evidence on the elasticity of duration with respect to UI for long durations suggests that it seems unlikely that this effect would be sufficiently strong that the net effect on married women would be beneficial.
Output Collapse in Transitional Economies: A Possible Explanation Using a Two-sector Mesoeconomic Model

description: Using a two-sector mesoeconomic model, the paper examines the short-term effects of the demand shift between different sectors resulted from the economic liberalisation in a transitional economy, especially focussing on Russia. Findings are that, for a transitional economy without a well-functioning factor market, the demand shift may cause a short term economic slump. Moreover, the possibility of an economic slump is higher when there are unfavorable effects from changes in the price elasticity of demand.
The Determinants of Judicial Prestige and Influence: Some Empirical Evidence from the High Court of Australia

description: This paper uses judicial citation practice to investigate the determinants of judicial mfluence in the High Court of Australia (High Court). First, we construct measures of influence based on the number of times a judge is cited by name in a sample of High Court decisions. The raw citation counts are adjusted to exclude self-citations, depreciation of legal capital and variations in terms of period in office. Second, our measures of influence are regressed on a series of explanatory variables including age on appointment, appointing government, prior experience and whether the judge served as Chief Justice, for each of the 35 retired judges of the High Court. Our results suggest that younger appointees with prior judicial experience exert more influence per year on the Bench. Our results also suggest that conservative appointees exert more influence than Labor appointees and judges who have served as Chief Justice exert more influence than puisne judges. We offer some economic explanations for this phenomenon.
The Development of Management Education in Australia

description: Life Education Victoria (LEV) provides a drug education program to primary school-children. Educators, operating from mobile units, visit schools and deliver high quality audiovisual/discussion presentations to students. The program has been designed in seven modules, one for each year level of primary school, and it is intended students will experience all seven modules as they progress through the school. The LEV recommends that schools conduct follow-up classroom activities using workbooks provided by the LEV. Although the program cost is partly paid for by the government and the community, the cost per child per visit is $5. The aim of the LEV-program is to reduce the incidence and prevalence of drug use and misuse. Specifically, the LEV aims to delay student experimentation with or initiation into smoking, it discourages under age drinking and encourages students to avoid drinking during the adolescent years, and it advocates that students avoid analgesics unless for legitimate health reasons. This evaluation combined an examination of the LEV's curriculum with an assessment of its impact on schools' curricula and an outcome evaluation of the short-term effects on schoolchildren. The long-term effects were not addressed in this study. Consequently, while the study provides important information about the LEV-program, it would be premature to conclude from this report that the program is or is not effective in affecting drug use in the longer term.
Experiences with the UK National Health Service Reforms: A case of the infernal market?
Creators: name: Peacock, Stuart
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The 1991 NHS Reforms introduced an internal market within the UK National Health Service. The move to this form of managed competition represented the greatest change to health services in the UK since the NHS was established, with the separation of the responsibilities for commissioning and providing health care. Under the internal market, purchasers (District Health Authorities and General Practitioner fundholders) are responsible for commissioning health care which best meets the needs of their resident populations. Commissioning occurs through contracts made with health care providers (NHS trusts), and providers are allowed to compete for these contracts. The performance of the internal market will be discussed in this paper in terms of four main criteria: quality, efficiency, choice, and equity. Special attention will be paid to key elements of the system, including General Practitioner fundholders, the contracting process, and the extent of competition between providers.

description: This paper examines the impact of the Export Market Development Grants scheme on Australia's export performance. The EMDG scheme has had a positive impact on Australian exporters by subsidising the transaction costs of exporting, encouraging exporters to develop experience and encouraging them to change their mindsets. The program is important given the need to improve Australia's export performance. Recommendations are also made about how to improve the scheme, including reviewing the $150 million cap.
The case for the flexible work options and the "on demand" professional?

Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The time demands of professional jobs such as law, medicine and accountancy are high and studies have shown work-family conflict has become a major obstacle to progress in gender equity. More lucrative and remunerative occupations, on average, require longer hours. Indeed, success depends on "primary commitment to work and career" and in some cases, participating in the "face time" culture. This paper will provide a framework for understanding the relationship between flexible work options and potential dual agenda outcomes for individuals and organisations.

Funding and Future Options for the Reform of Medicare
Creators: name: Richardson, Jeff
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017

description: Short and long run problems of Medicare are reviewed. It is argued that the short run issues associated with private health insurance and the public-private balance of hospital services are very largely problems of our own creation. Long term `problems' associated with rising costs are commonly misinterpreted. Data are presented which suggest a dramatic misallocation of resources in the health sector. It is argued that the elimination of such inefficiencies represents the greatest long term challenge and the greatest potential source of health improvement. Failure of the medical profession to meet this challenge voluntarily will invite the adoption of managed care in a uniquely, regulated, Australian form.
Emotions and Complaining Behavior Following Service Failure

description: One feature of a democratic society is voice, especially the freedom to dissent. One form of dissent of relevance to organizational scholars is complaining, whether it be complaints from employee stakeholder groups or customer stakeholder groups. Despite the increased ability that the knowledge economy provides for people of all walks of life and nationalities to voice complaint, little is known about the antecedents and consequences of complaining. This paper addresses this issue with respect to customers' response to service failures. Specifically, this paper develops a conceptual model for service settings building upon a model of emotional and cognitive response formation to an affective event (Hartel, McColl-Kennedy & Bennett, 2002), and its source theory, Weiss and Cropanzano's (1995) Affective Events Theory (AET). We argue that when a service failure occurs, a number of cognitive and affective responses take place in consumers. The proposed model aims to operationalize affective responses to service failures in the marketplace. 'Affective response' refers to cognitive, emotional, behavioral and neuropsychological responses to emotional events. As such, the model makes explicit the relationships between and factors within each of these domains of affect expression.

description: Managers in arts organizations making strategic decisions face many of the same factors as their counterparts in other industries. Added to concerns about expenditures, personnel and performance, aesthetic concerns often play an important role in such decisions. In this paper we compare a strategic decision from each of four arts institutions with models of strategic decision making taken from the literature. While the decisions do, in general, conform to the theoretical models, aesthetic considerations do play an important role in both the content and process of strategic decisions.

description: As our world shifts to the "post" - i.e., from capitalism to post-capitalism, from industrialism to postindustrialism, from modernism to post-modernism, and alike, we are also experiencing a sense of newness that pushes us to respond. Porter & McKibbin (1988) suggest that in the field of business education there are now multiple and conflicted interpretations of what and how material ought to be taught. Now, even more than ever, as the world intertwines through global commerce and instantaneous communication, that the business community, university administrators, faculty, and, indeed students, all have a keen stake in business education. However, faculty still fulfils a primary role through their responsibility in the designing and delivering of the curriculum and in determining what and how business students learn in school. Given this current mix of diverse stakeholders, pulling in many different and often opposite directions, faculty must come to grips with how they want to proceed. Our purpose in this paper is to review a number of current models and philosophical approaches used to develop curriculum, and then follow the development of a post-graduate curriculum in Management Studies in order to grasp the impact of model and philosophy selection on educational direction.
Communication and coordination in the laboratory collective resistance game

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This paper presents a laboratory collective resistance (CR) game to study how different forms of non-binding communication among responders can help coordinate their collective resistance against a leader who transgresses against them. Contrary to the predictions of analysis based on purely self-regarding preferences, we find that non-binding communication about intended resistance increases the incidence of no transgression even in the one-shot laboratory CR game. In particular, we find that the incidence of no transgression increases from 7 percent with no communication up to 25-37 percent depending on whether communication occurs before or after the leader’s transgression decision. Responders’ messages are different when the leaders can observe them, and the leaders use the observed messages to target specific responders for transgression.
Antecedents and Consequences of Trust in Strategic Alliances

description: In this paper we present a framework for the antecedents and consequences of trust in strategic alliances. Through a qualitative research methodology utilising semi-structured interviews with 18 organisations (5 of those being international), we investigate trust in strategic alliances using the theoretical perspective of social exchange theory. We find that network relationships, type of alliance, communication, information exchange, fairness preservation and inter-firm adaptation have implications for trust in strategic alliances. Trust is an important factor for the success of a strategic alliance, because the presence of trust facilitates the obtainment of goals in conjunction with rules of conduct, and mechanisms for enforcing those rules.

Value of Expertise for Forecasting Decisions in Conflicts

Year: 2017

description: In important conflicts, people typically rely on experts' judgments to predict the decisions that adversaries will make. We compared the accuracy of 106 expert and 169 novice forecasts for eight real conflicts. The forecasts of experts using unaided judgment were little better than those of novices, and neither were much better than simply guessing. The forecasts of experts with more experience were no more accurate than those with less. Speculating that consideration of the relative frequency of decisions might improve accuracy, we obtained 89 forecasts from novices instructed to assume there were 100 similar situations and to ascribe frequencies to decisions. Their forecasts were no more accurate than 96 forecasts from novices asked to pick the most likely decision. We conclude that expert judgment should not be used for predicting decisions that people will make in conflicts. Their use might lead decision makers to overlook other, more useful, approaches.

How Does the Share of Imports Change During Structural Adjustment?
Creators: name: Powell, Alan A.
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Estimating the price responsiveness of market shares during a period of structural transition requires a distinction to be made between responses to variables explicitly recognized In the model and those due to more general changes In the trading environment. Often the latter are minimally modelled as market penetration curves taking the form of a sigmoid trend. Broadly this is the approach followed in the present paper; however, the trend 'parameter' capturing ultimate market share at a fixed level of price competitiveness is itself made a logistic function of the logarithm of the relative price variable measuring such competitiveness. The application of the model is to quarterly data on the share of imports In Australian personal consumption over the 1980s and the first half of the 1990s. Most of the signal relevant to price competition between domestic and imported consumer goods occurred over the four years 1985-1988. This coincided with sizeable movements In the real exchange rate; and therefore, presumably, with colllnear movements in the prices of the components within the domestic and the imported aggregates, which would be favourable circumstances for the application of Hicks' composite commodity idea. The responses in aggregate market shares during this episode suggest a very long-run Armington elasticity In the range 3.4 to 4.8, with short-run (quarterly) values of 0.6 to 0.8.

The third culture: organisational learning in international joint ventures

Year: 2017

description: Studies in organisational learning generally accept the existence of two 'cultures' within an organisation - the 'systems' culture (the first culture) and the 'organisational' culture (the second culture). However, cultural influences of a social anthropological nature in international joint ventures (JVs) have a significant but often underrated impact on organisational learning and can be thought of as the 'third culture'. Using three generic stages in the organisational learning process, viz. knowledge acquisition, knowledge dissemination, and knowledge utilisation, the influence of the third culture is discussed using examples drawn from collaboration in Malaysia with the management structure comprising Australians and Malays. The paper argues at a conceptual level that while all JVs engage in knowledge acquisition, the dissemination and subsequent utilisation of that knowledge is frequently affected by the third culture. Unless knowledge about the third culture becomes an integral component of organisational learning in JVs, the potential for competitive advantage derived from an offshore operation may be significantly reduced. Furthermore, knowledge of the third culture can be developed as a core competency of JVs.

description: This paper reports on selected methods and results of a year-long study, which sought to describe and explain the experience of Chinese tourists visiting the state of Victoria in Australia. The aims of the paper are to describe the temporal and spatial dimensions of the tourist experience, and to use the factors elicited from visitor responses to explain satisfaction and dissatisfaction. Evidence from multiple sources of data confirmed that visitor satisfaction is explained largely by intangible or "expressive" factors, while dissatisfaction is determined mainly by tangible or "functional" factors. The former provide important implications for marketing, while the latter suggest the need for product development strategies.

description: Currently, aerogel materials have drawn great attention due to their excellent porous structure. To further enhance their mechanical and electrical properties, nanostructured carbon materials such as carbon nanotubes and graphene have been applied to form various composites. In this work, we have employed a facile method to synthesize PEDOT:PSS conducting polymer aerogels embedded with carbon nanotubes. These aerogels are prepared using iron (III) chloride hexahydrate as crosslinkers. Surface morphology, pore properties, compression strength and electrochemical performance of the aerogel composites are evaluated. The effects of carbon nanotubes on aerogel morphology and their electrochemical performance are also investigated. It is found that the increase of CNTs content brings an improved electrochemical performance in term of a specific capacitance of 35 F g−1 and a cycling stability over 1000 cycles.

description: The paper presents the case and evidence for the use of a new scaling instrument for measuring the value of health states, the Relative Social-Willingness to Pay (RS-WTP). In Section 1 it critiques existing scaling instruments used in economics for measuring health-related quality of life, vis, the SG, TTO, PTO, VAS, WTP1,I In Sections 2 and 3 it compares them with the RS-WTP. It is argued that each of the existing trade-off instruments has a potentially serious upward bias. Empirical results are presented from a comparison of eight instruments (four postal versions of the RS-WTP, interview results for RS-WTP, TTO and two versions of the PTO). Subsidiary analyses include the validity and reliability of postal versions of the instrument, the effect of several edit algorithms, a change in the framing of the instrument, a change in the questionnaire preamble and format and the relationships between the two versions of the PTO and the TTO instruments. With respect to the main subject, correlations of 0.93 and 0.95 between mean values of RS-WTP, TTO and PTO scores represents strong validation of the new instrument and supports the case for its use as a stand-alone instrument. The RS-WTP produces values over the range of observations which are about 15 percent lower than the PTO and TTO. As the instrument has no obvious bias this further supports the argument that conventional instruments exaggerate utilities. This does not imply that RS-WTP values are (technically) ‘correct’ for use in CUA. Results have been obtained from a particular group (the public) using a particular form of question, and perspective, and the issue of what is appropriate is unresolved. The RS-WTP can accommodate changes in these elements. In the concluding sections the justification for an additional scaling instrument is reviewed and future research described.

Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The World Health Report 2000 focuses on the performance of health care systems around the globe. The report uses efficiency measurement techniques to create a league table of health care systems, highlighting good and bad performers. Efficiency is measured using panel data methods. This paper suggests that the WHO's estimation procedure is too narrow and that contextual information is hidden by the use of one method. This paper uses and validates a range of parametric and non-parametric empirical methods to measure efficiency using the WHO data. The rankings obtained are compared to the WHO league table and we demonstrate that there are trends and movements of interest within the league tables. We recommend that the WHO broaden its range of techniques in order to reveal this hidden information.

description: Listeria monocytogenes is an important foodborne pathogen, and is ubiquitously distributed in the natural environment. Cattle and sheep, as natural hosts, can transmit L. monocytogenes to related meat and dairy products. In this study, the prevalence, distribution, and transmission characteristics of Listeria were analysed by investigating 5214 samples of cattle and sheep in farm and slaughtering environments in China. A low contamination incidence of L. monocytogenes (0.5%, 20/4430) was observed in farm environment, but there was a high contamination incidence in slaughtering environment (9.4%, 74/784). The incidence of L. innocua in cattle and sheep farm and slaughtering environments is more common and significantly higher (9.7%, 508/5214) than that of L. monocytogenes (1.8%, 94/5214). The distinct molecular and genetic characteristics of Listeria by PFGE and MLST indicated that L. monocytogenes and L. innocua were gradually transmitted from the farm and slaughtering environments to end products, such as beef and mutton along the slaughtering chain. The ST7, ST9, ST91, and ST155 found in our study were associated with the human listeriosis cases in China. In addition, the findings of virulence markers (inlC, inlJ, LIPI-3, LIPI-4, and ECIII) concerned with the pathogenesis of human listeriosis and antibiotics resistance of L. monocytogenes in this study implies a potential public health risk. This study fills the gap in the epidemiology of beef cattle and sheep that carry Listeria in farm and slaughtering environments in major cattle and sheep producing areas in China.

description: This paper involves action learning as 'continuance of mindset'. It describes a four-year work in progress Action Research (AR) study exploring organizational viability. Involving two separate organizations and four cycles of AR, the study has seen the researcher and to some extent the organizations develop action-learning mindsets. The paper is an attempt to stand back from the case study and its associated learning from an organizational perspective - and to associate learning from the mindset of an action researcher. The paper contends that adopting the mindset of an action researcher contributes to the transfer of learning from one organization to the other. It advocates that action researchers do not resume their initial methodologies in a new setting and the latter organization acquires learning from the first interaction. It is concluded that an action learning mindset gains cumulative wisdom from both organizational and methodological perspectives.

description: Previously, authors suggested that call centres will tend to evolve into 'knowledge' work (Frenkel et al., 1995). However, more recent studies recognise that call centres are diverse and need to be examined in context (Taylor et al. 2002). In relation to regional development, call centres have contributed to job creation in Europe (Richardson et al., 2002). However, despite a large increase in the general literature on call centres, and investigation of the regional implications of the growth of call centres in UK, the literature on place and location is very limited, especially in Australia (Barrett, 2001). In contrast, researchers have demonstrated a high level of interest in regard to questions of control, surveillance, work intensity and stress (Callaghan & Thompson, 2001; Kinnie et al., 2000; Taylor & Bain, 1999), but the literature has included few details about employees beyond age, gender and whether they work full- or part-time. Knowledge of employees' work histories, including their previous employment status, occupations and industry of work would provide a more comprehensive comparative basis from which more precise conclusions might be drawn. Our major aims in this study were therefore threefold: firstly, to establish the background of a new call centre in a less favoured region in Australia; secondly, to identify the personal characteristics and employment records of a sample of employees from the call centre; and thirdly, to explore the employee data in relation to their responses to the new work environment. Data were collected in three phases comprising semi-structured interviews with senior and middle managers (nine interviews), a survey of frontline employees (N=142, 365) and focus groups (ten groups with a total of 54 participants). Key findings are that the costs and benefits of the call centre are consistent with the framework of Richardson and Belt (2001), suggesting that the reality of the new call centre in a LFR is more mundane than that suggested by the rhetoric about knowledge workers and high technology investment. Secondly, the respondents to the survey produced a picture of workers who are female, young and with relatively low education levels. Many were previously unemployed and the majority came from low skilled jobs in retail, government, and service industries. They could not be classified as `knowledge workers'. Finally, the majority of respondents found both the terms and conditions worse, and stress levels higher in their new work environment, than in their previous one. Patterns appear to exist in relation to specific industries and are supported by employees' responses to open-ended questions.

description: The Australian Workplace Industrial Relations Survey 1995 allows for a thorough review of how an employee's ethnic characteristics and English proficiency can affect their levels of hourly earnings. A human capital model is specified, with random effects regression analysis allowing the comparison of appropriately paired data sets. Results reported in this paper suggest that Anglo-Saxon employees earn more than non-Anglo-Saxon employees, just as English speaking employees earn more than non-English speaking % employees. Interestingly, though, it is found that non-Australian-born employees earn more in terms of hourly income than Australian-born employees. Further ethnic segmentation of the data provides considerable insight as to factors that affect the earnings potential of Australia's diverse workforce.
Gender Differences in Advancing to the Top

description: Recently, there has been much empirical interest in why women are so poorly represented in executive ranks in organizations. This review summarizes the findings from recent empirical studies into the causes of gender differences in advancement to executive levels. The results are categorized to answer three questions based on the major arguments for, and assumptions made about, gender differences in advancement to the top of organizations. Are there gender differences in advancing to the top of organizations because (1) women lack the relevant knowledge, skills, and expertise; that is, human capital? (2) women lack the relevant networks, are stereotyped as unsuitable, and are in male organizational cultures; that is, social capital? and/or because (3) different factors are needed to advance to higher than lower levels; women incrementally develop fewer of these factors and resources than men, and thus advance less to the top?. The review most supports the second proposition. Surprisingly, even though there are many studies, several critical questions have not been addressed with strong research designs. Research using rigorous designs is especially needed to test the major theoretical frameworks.

description: Many organisations have found it difficult to implement an effective quality management strategy. One of the prime reasons for this is that organisations do not have credible evidence in terms of which quality management practices contribute to organisational performance, and why and how they contribute to this performance. This generally causes misunderstandings and disagreements about expected benefits. A review of the literature revealed a major gap in research in this area of quality/operations management. The purpose of this study was to test the strength of the relationship of different quality-based strategy types with several parameters of organisational performance. Based on a cross-sectional study of manufacturing firms in Australia and New Zealand, the paper tests several hypotheses involving ISO 9000, TQM and organisational performance. Four strategy types are developed as part of a Quality Management Strategy Grid. The central finding is that an Integrated Quality Strategy involving TQM and ISO 9000 certification is the most effective competitive strategy in terms of sustaining organisational performance, particularly for large firms (100 or more employees). The findings of this study have significant implications for practicing managers. The Quality Management Strategy Grid can be used by managers to formulate fiiture strategic action for continuous improvement.
Specialization, Trade, and Growth

description: This paper shows the emergence of trade in a model with no Ricardian exogenous comparative advantage, and presents a formal analysis of the effects of tariff protection on international trade in the framework of the new classical trade theory. Using a model with no exogenous comparative advantage, equilibrium outcomes for the model are characterised, and comparative static analysis of the effects of changes in the level of tariff protection on the number of goods and on per capita real income for three important cases is explored. It is shown that in the case of no retaliation, i.e. when only one country imposes import duties on traded goods from another with no tariff, then the result on the real income of the country with tariff is not clear. In this case, the tariff produces a negative effect on trade and specialization on one hand, and a positive effect on the terms of trade on the other. However, in the case of full retaliation against any tariff imposed by a country or the case of a small country whose tariff action is unable to significantly affect international prices of traded goods, our result shows that the negative effect of protection is clear. Similarities and differences with the traditional theory are discussed.

description: This study examines the extent to which locus of control, decision-making style, and small business strategy predict small business success. Self-admmistered questionnaires were distributed to 578 small business owners in Victoria, Australia. The data were examined using structural equation modelling techniques (LISREL 7.20). The results suggest that to achieve business success beyond survival requires entrepreneurs to develop specific strategies to enhance business growth. Implications for entrepreneurial performance and further research are discussed.

description: A perceived increase in correlation during turbulent market conditions implies a reduction in the benefits arising from portfolio diversification. Unfortunately, it is exactly then that these benefits are most needed. To determine whether diversification truly breaks down, we investigate the robustness of a popular conditional correlation estimator against alternative distributional assumptions. Analytical results show that the apparent meltdown in diversification could be a result of assuming normally distributed returns. A more realistic assumption - the bivariate Student-t distribution - suggests that there is little empirical support for diversification meltdown.

description: This paper proposes a new approach to the evaluation of the suitability of job applicants. It attempts to help decision-makers minimise subjective value judgments and make more effective selection from the pool of applicants, under the various evaluation criteria. It has the potential to be an effective tool to be employed by those involved in personnel selection.

description: The aim of this paper is to examine the measurement of persistence in a range of time series models nested in the framework of Cramer (1961). This framework is a generalization of the Wold (1938) decomposition for stationary time series which, in addition to accommodating the standard I(0) and I(1) models, caters for alternative nonstationary processes. Three measures of persistence are considered, namely the long-run impulse response, variance ratio and autocorrelation functions. Particular emphasis is given to the behaviour of these measures in a range of nonstationary models. We document conflict that arises between different measures, applied to the same model, as well as conflict arising from the use of a given measure in different models. Precisely which persistence measures are time dependent and which are not, is highlighted. The nature of the general representation used also helps clarify what shock the impulse response function refers to in the case of models where more than one random disturbance impinges on the time series.
