Albert Gross papers
No full textAlbert H. (Pete) Gross (1895-1948) worked in publishing for more than two decades. His collection consists primarily of correspondence and manuscripts he accumulated during his tenure at Boni and Liveright, Inc.; Horace Liveright, Inc.; A. and S. Lyons, Inc.; and Coward-McCann, Inc. Manuscripts and correspondence relating to Thomas Mann's "Letter to the Civilized World: A Manifest" are particularly notable, as are other manuscripts and galley proofs, such as those for Ernest Hemingway's In Our Time. The collection also contains correspondence from such literary figures as Sholem Asch, Sherwood Anderson, Gertrude Atherton, Theodore Dreiser, Robinson Jeffers, and Eugene O'Neill

Outsourcing and Skill Imports: Foreign High-Skilled Workers on H-1B and L-1 Visas in the United States
Full text linkThis working paper looks in detail at the H-1B and L-1 visa programs for temporary employment in the United States. Based on official data from the US Citizenship and Immigration Services and the US Department of State, H-1B and L-1 visa issuance rapidly increased in the late 1990s, followed by a marked slowdown after 2001. This points to the highly cyclical nature of both visa programs. Indian nationals and immigrants working in computer-related occupations dominate the H1-B and L-1 population in the United States, but these two groups are also found to be the most cyclical segment, with very large declines in inflows after 2001. The total population of H-1B visaholders in 2003 is estimated to range between 387,000 and 746,000, of which 160,000 to 306,000 were Indian nationals. As all data on H-1B/L-1 visaholders are gross numbers and gross jobs data for comparable categories are absent, the extent of the impact of these visa programs on the US labor market cannot be gauged precisely. A broad range of US industries and educational institutions are found to be employing H-1B recipients, with the IT industry being the dominant sector. Evidence of aggressive wage-cost cutting, including paying H-1B recipients only the legally mandated 95 percent of the prevailing US wage, is found among some H-1B employers, although no systematic abuse of the system is present.Outsourcing, offshoring, high-skilled labor, immigration, H1B/L-1 visas
Adjusting the Gross Changes Data: Implications for Labor Market Dynamics
Full text linkThis paper develops a procedure for adjusting the Current Population Survey gross changes data for the effects of reporting errors. The corrected data suggest that the labor market is much less dynamic than has frequently been suggested. Conventional measures sy understate the duration of unemployment by as much as eighty percent and overstate the extent of movement into and out ofthe labor force by several hundred percent. The adjusted data also throw demographic differences in patterns of labor market dynamics into sharp relief.
Imputation of Gross Amounts from Net Incomes in Household Surveys. An Application using EUROMOD.
Full text linkHousehold micro-datasets often do not contain information on gross incomes. We present an algorithm which exploits the tax- and contribution rules built into tax-benefit models to convert net income information into gross amounts. Using EUROMOD, a multi-country taxbenefit model covering all fifteen countries of the European Union, net-to-gross conversions can be performed for a large number of countries utilising existing models of relevant fiscal rules. The algorithm takes into account all relevant complexities of tax- and contribution rules and can, thus, produce much more accurate results than statistical models which estimate netto- gross ratios using only a few explanatory variables. Among the features of the algorithm is the ability to distinguish between different individuals in the same household. Even if individuals’ incomes are taxed jointly, the algorithm is able to approximate separate net-togross factors for individuals in the same fiscal unit. This is possible since EUROMOD can accurately assign people to appropriate fiscal units. In addition, it is in certain cases possible to produce different net-to-gross ratios for different income components. We undertake a case study to illustrate the importance of deriving separate net-to-gross factors for different individuals within a household/fiscal unit and for different income sources of the same individual.Microsimulation; Imputation; Income; Net/Gross

Reliability of Cycling Gross Efficiency Using the Douglas Bag Method
Full text linkPurpose: The aim of this study was to establishthe reliability of gross efficiency (GE) measurement (the ratio of mechanical power input to metabolic power output, expressed as apercentage) using the Douglas bag method. Methods: The experiment was conducted in two parts. Part 1 examined the potential forerrors in the Douglas bag method arising from gas concentration analysis, bag residual volume, and bag leakage or gas diffusion rates.Part 2 of this study examined the within-subject day-to-day variability of GE in 10 trained male cyclists using the Douglas bag method.Participants completed three measurements of GE on separate days at work rates of 150, 180, 210, 240, 270, and 300 W. Results: Theresults demonstrate that the reliability of gas sampling is high with a coefficient of variation (CV) G0.5% for both O2 and CO2. Thebag residual volume CV was È15%, which amounts to +0.4 L. This could cause the largest error, but this can be minimized bycollecting large gas sample volumes. For part 2, a mean CV of 1.5% with limits of agreement of +0.6% in GE units, around a mean GEof 20.0%, was found. Conclusions: The Douglas bag method of measuring expired gases and GE was found to have very high reliabilityand could be considered the gold-standard approach for evaluating changes in GE. Collecting larger expired gas samples minimizespotential sources of error
Operando pH measurements decipher H+/Zn2+intercalation chemistry in high-performance aqueous Zn/δ-V2O5batteries
Full text linkVanadium oxides have been recognized to be among the most promising positive electrode materials for aqueous zinc metal batteries (AZMBs). However, their underlying intercalation mechanisms are still vigorously debated. To shed light on the intercalation mechanisms, high-performance δ-V2O5 is investigated as a model compound. Its structural and electrochemical behaviors in the designed cells with three different electrolytes, i.e., 3 m Zn(CF3SO3)2/water, 0.01 M H2SO4/water, and 1 M Zn(CF3SO3)2/acetonitrile, demonstrate that the conventional structural and elemental characterization methods cannot adequately clarify the separate roles of H+ and Zn2+ intercalations in the Zn(CF3SO3)2/water electrolyte. Thus, an operando pH determination method is developed and used toward Zn/δ-V2O5 AZMBs. This method indicates the intercalation of both H+ and Zn2+ into δ-V2O5 and uncovers an unusual H+/Zn2+-exchange intercalation-deintercalation mechanism. Density functional theory calculations further reveal that the H+/Zn2+ intercalation chemistry is a consequence of the variation of the electrochemical potential of Zn2+ and H+ during the electrochemical intercalation/release
