title: Okun's law, asymmetries and jobless recoveries in the United States: A Markov-switching approach

authors: Holmes, Mark J.

subjects: Okun’s law

abstract: Prevailing Markov regime-switching approaches to asymmetries in Okun's law assume either asymmetry between unemployment and output across regimes or asymmetry within a regime. We combine both approaches and give an insight into the 1991 and 2001 United States ‘jobless recoveries’.

title: 'Give me my pathway!’: Multinational migration, transnational skills regimes and migrant subjectification

authors: Collins, Francis L.

abstract: In this article, I address the interplay between migration regimes and migrant subjectivities in stepwise multinational migration through a comparative analysis of biographical interviews with migrants in the healthcare and dairy farm work sectors in New Zealand. In both sectors, migrants' trajectories involve movements from Asia to locations in the Middle East, North Africa or Japan before arrival in New Zealand, and in some cases plans for onward migration. The analysis of these migration patterns and the narratives of migrants, reveal an emergent transnational skills regime that involves connected but uncoordinated systems of skills recognition; negotiating this regime occurs through increased attunement to migration on the part of multinational migrants, as well as adaptation to the expectations of authorities and employers. I conclude the article by suggesting that while multinational migration involves new opportunities for people on the move it also entails greater entanglement in the unequal conditioning of transnational migration.

title: New Zealand regions, 1986 – 2001: Hospitalisation and some related health facts

authors: Pool, Ian

subjects: health

abstract: Once age and gender composition is controlled for, regional health differentials are a function of problems of health service delivery, of socio-economic variance, and overall Māori Pakeha health differences. They indicate relative levels of exclusion and of inequality. This paper shows that these differentials follow in general the patterns seen in other papers in this series.
