"Asset Poverty in The United States: Its Persistence in an Expansionary Economy"
No full textFrom this paper's Preface, by Dr. Dimitri B. Papadimitriou, President: Economic growth and a rising stock market in the 1990s gave the impression that everyone was accumulating wealth and asset poverty rates were declining. The impression was supported by the official, income-based poverty measure, which exhibited a sharp decline. According to Senior Scholar Edward N. Wolff and Research Scholar Asena Caner, poverty measures should include wealth as well as income. Their study of asset poverty in the United States between 1984 and 1999 focuses on the lower end of the wealth distribution and shows that asset poverty rates did not decline during the period studied, and that the severity of poverty increased. It also shows that asset poverty is much more persistent than income poverty.

Unemployment Benefits and Unemployment Rates of Low-Skilled and Elder Workers in West Germany: A Search Equilibrium Approach

To answer this question we estimate a version of the Burdett-Mortensen search equilibrium model and analyze how workers’ search behaviour responded to these reforms. We try both nonparametric and fully-parametric estimation methods and identify the cases in which the nonparametric approach cannot be applied. We find that the entitlement reforms are largely responsible for the increase of unemployment among unskilled workers

Die Ambivalenz von Institutionalisierung und De-Institutionalisierung in der sozialen Arbeit in Geschichte und Gegenwart
No full textDer Beitrag von Stephan Wolff widmet sich der Analyse des 'Wechselspiels' von De-Institutionalisierungs- und Institutionalisierungsprozessen vor dem Hintergrund der neo-institutionalistischen Organisationstheorie und untersucht diese Prozesse anhand der historischen Verläufe der Forderung nach Alternativen zu anstaltsförmigen Praxen der Unterbringung, Behandlung und Kontrolle im Bereich der Psychiatrie und der Behindertenhilfen, die als praktische Kritik De-Institutionalisierung auf Ihre Fahnen geschrieben hatten. Dabei werden insbesondere die Ambivalenzen der De-Institutionalisierung als auch das pfadabhängige Beharrungsvermögen von Organisationen gegen Versuche der De-Institutionalisierung herausgearbeitet
