Help wanted in New Zealand: The ANZ Bank job advertisement series
No full textThe ANZ Bank publishes a monthly count of the number of job advertisements appearing in New Zealand newspapers and, more recently, internet sites. It is New Zealand’s de facto vacancy or help-wanted series. Apart from its role in economic commentaries, there is very little published research using this data. This paper is a preliminary attempt to remedy this omission. It covers descriptive aspects of the ANZ job ads series including the vacancy rate, the hiring rate, regional characteristics and proxy vacancy series. This is followed by an outline of the vacancy-unemployment (Beveridge curve) and hiring frameworks and some initial econometric work. Overall, the paper highlights the importance of the vacancy rate and the hiring rate in assessing labour market conditions in New Zealand

Analysis of the Dissolution and Crystallization of Partly Immiscible Ternary Mixtures Using a Composite Sensor Array of In Situ ATR-FTIR, Laser Backscattering, and Imaging
No full textThe thermodynamic phase diagram of an agrochemical active ingredient (AI) in water and acetone was determined using an array of process analytical technology (PAT) tools and equilibrium experiments. This ternary system was found to separate into multiple liquid phases at certain temperatures and concentrations (oiling out). Furthermore, agglomeration of the solid particles was observed at specific conditions. Signals from laser backscattering, attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy, and in situ imaging were used to study oiling out and to understand the interactions among the different phases and how they affected the dynamics of dissolution and crystallization of the AI. Characterizing partly immiscible ternary mixtures is a challenging task due to the presence of multiple dispersed phases such as droplets, particles, and agglomerates that are difficult to discriminate using traditional analytical techniques. The approach proposed here combines and integrates signals from multiple complementary online measurements to understand and monitor such complex systems
Paternalism and Freedom on Beveridge. -Philanthropy,labour exchange and unemployment Insurance on Beveridge in early 20th century-
No full textapplication/pdf【要旨】本稿は、福祉国家が形成される過程において、パターナリズムと自由の関係性という問題がどのように展開してきたのかについて検討するために、『ベヴァリッジ報告』を執筆したべヴァリッジの議論の源流である20世紀の初頭における思想に焦点をあて、べヴァリッジがパターナリズムと自由がどのように捉えられていたのかについて、彼の慈善活動や失業保険・職業紹介所に関する分析を通して検討した。その結果、べヴァリッジの議論というのは、パターナリスティックな観点から政府の介入を主張したわけではなく、むしろ実質的な自由を保障する取り組みとして主張されていたということが明らかとなった。Abstract:The purpose of the present study is to examine how the relationship between paternalism and freedom developed in the creation of the welfare state, focusing on William Beveridge and his perceptions on paternalism and freedom. By exploring concepts from the beginning of the twentieth century, which was the origin for discussions of Beveridge, the author of “Beveridge Report”, analyses on philanthropic activities, unemployment insurance, and labour exchange were scrutinized. As a result, it was clarified that Beveridge discussed and advocated for these projects as a guarantee for substantial freedom rather than an intervention by the government from paternalistic viewpoint.departmental bulletin pape
Panel Data Analysis of the Beveridge Curve: Is There a Macroeconomic Relation between the Rate of Unemployment and the Vacancy Rate?
No full textThis study investigates whether the Beveridge curve--the relation between vacancy and unemployment rate--is helpful for the quantification of structural unemployment. Since aggregate time series are too short to test detailed hypotheses about the Beveridge curve, the author assembles a panel of nine regions in West Germany. Analyses of these data produce little support for a structural macroeconomic interpretation of the Beveridge curve. The observed shifts of the Beveridge curve are too sudden to be explained by structural changes; there is evidence for aggregation bias; and variables associated with structural unemployment do not substitute for the explanatory power of dummy variables for the observed shifts while cyclical variables do so.

Beveridge curve, job matching and labour market dynamics: a multi-level empirical analysis
No full text2007 - 2008The aim of this thesis is to contribute to the debate on the
Beveridge Curve: more specifically, after providing a
theoretical introduction to the Curve in Chapter I, we focus on
some empirical points, concerning globalisation and
technological progress, which the international empirical
literature has not dealt with closely (Chapter II), and on a level
analysis which no previous study has dealt with in the Italian
literature (Chapter III).
Chapter I centres on the matching approach founding the
studies on the Beveridge Curve since the late 1970's, it also
mentions the recent production frontier approach and gives a
look to the possible consequences of the Great Recession on
the matching process and the Curve.
The aim of Chapter II is to test the existence of a Beveridge
Curve analysing the economies of nineteen OECD countries
from 1980 to 2004, and to investigate whether and how
technological progress and globalisation affect the
unemployment-vacancies trade-off. Indeed, in the literature
concerning the Beveridge Curve, only a few contributions
(Pissarides, 1990; Aghion and Howitt, 1994) have examined
the role of technological progress as a significant shift factor
for labour market performance. However, there is no unanimity
about the sign of its impact. Furthermore, few economists
would deny that globalisation, that is the growing international
interdependence in communications, trade, finance, labour
markets (migration), social systems, is one of fundamental
socio-economic phenomena of this turn of century.
Consequently, globalisation is another factor which is expected
to impact on the Beveridge Curve, but no full-fledged
estimation has, to the best of our knowledge, ever been carried
out of this nexus. We can sum up the main results as follows:
a) we find largely favourable evidence for the existence of a
OECD Beveridge Curve; b) lagged values of technological
progress impact positively on unemployment and shift the
Beveridge Curve outwards, producing evidence in support of
the creative destruction effect; c) lagged values of the
globalisation index have a positive impact on unemployment,
also shifting the Beveridge Curve outwards; d) a critical
econometric issue, extremely neglected by the previous
literature, is represented by endogeneity, as shown by tests and
other kind of evidence.
Finally, Chapter III focuses on the Italian labour market. There
are not many studies that have analyzed the Beveridge Curve in
Italy, likely because of the lack of official data on vacancies.
Moreover, no previous study has focused specifically on a
regional level analysis of the Beveridge Curve. Chapter III
aims at filling this gap of the literature using quarterly data for
the 1992-2009 period. In particular, the ISAE labour scarcity
indicator, which is available for all the regions, is used to build
regional vacancy rates. Like in Destefanis and Fonseca (2007),
we also investigate the impact on matching efficiency of the
recent strong development in the number of so-called atypical
jobs (both part-time and temporary)… [edited by author].VII n.s

Embryophore deformed, 27–30 in diameter. Other layers and oncosphere not observable. Remarks. This species, which has never been found since its original description, was described as Acanthotaenia striata by Johnston (1914). This author reported incorrect measurements of the scolex (as many as 3 mm wide). According to his drawing (Fig. 3 on plate VI), the scolex is 330 µm wide, which corresponds to our measurements of this scolex in the type material. No molecular data are available for this rare species specific to Burton’s legless lizard. In 2001 and 2003, five Lialis burtonis from Queensland, Victoria and South Australia were examined by one of the present authors (A. C.), but no proteocephalidean cestodes were found.Published as part of Chambrier, Alain De, Beveridge, Ian & Scholz, Tomáš, 2018, Tapeworms (Cestoda: Proteocephalidae) of Australian reptiles: hidden diversity of strictly host-specific parasites, pp. 477-498 in Zootaxa 4461 (4) on pages 488-490, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4461.4.2, http://zenodo.org/record/146024
