The General Basis of Arbitrator Behavior: An Empirical Analysis of Conventional and Final-Offer Arbitration
No full textA general model of arbitrator behavior in conventional and final-offer arbitration is developed that is based on an underlying notion of an appropriate award in a particular case. This appropriate award is defined as a function of the facts of the case independently of the offers of the parties. In conventional arbitration the arbitration award is argued to be a function of both the offers of the parties and the appropriate award. The weight that the arbitrator puts on the appropriate award relative to the offers is hypothesized to be a function of the quality of the offers as measured by the difference between the offers. In final-offer arbitration itis argued that the arbitrator chooses the offer that is closest to the appropriate award.The model is implemented empirically using data gathered from practicing arbitrators regarding their decisions in twenty-five hypothetical cases. The estimates of the general model strongly support the characterizations of arbitrator behavior in the two schemes. No substantial differences were found in the determination of the appropriate award implicit in the conventional arbitration decisions and the determination of the appropriate award implicitin the final-offer decisions.

Ryan, John. The Wren song, sung by John Ryan, Colliers
No full textColliers resident John Ryan sings the wren songThe wren is just one of several Christmastime house-visiting traditions that
continue in Newfoundland and Labrador. Typically, children and/or adults will
visit homes within their community carrying around an effigy of a small
bird—the wren. Upon entry into a home, they usually recite a poem about the
wren and may offer some kind of performance, be it song, joke, or recitation.
Often the host will offer up food, drink, or money for the visit. Unlike other
house-visiting traditions, there are no disguises involved

Galvin, asking to be put up at the College; he wants to see Hagan and possible get a promise from Propaganda
Re-employment Probabilities and Wage Offer Function for Russian Labor Market
No full textThis research addresses labor market transformation in Russia. It elaborates on the theory of job search and focuses on the following issues: (1) evaluation of the re-employment probabilities (hazard rates) for different socio-economic groups; and (2) estimation of wage offer distribution for the transforming labor market. We use data from Phase II of the Russia Longitudinal Monitoring Survey (RLMS) to estimate the employment and wage offer functions for Russian workers who found a job after having been unemployed. We take into account the effectiveness of search strategies used and correct for truncation in wage offers. The binomial logit-OLS estimation method with sample selection bias correction on pooled data from Rounds 5-9 of RLMS is used. The factors considered are sex, education, experience, sector of employment and search methods’ success rate, which are hypothesized to capture the main determinants of job search behavior. The results show that individual characteristics, as well as the search method used, play a decisive role in the re-employment prospects of the unemployed. The private sector employment level is estimated to have the most powerful positive effect on the wage offer function. Russian women are less likely than men to find a job after being unemployed, and wage offers for women are estimated to be lower than for men.Russia, Transition, Job Search, Wage Offer Function, Hazard Rates
John Wesley letter to John Valton, 1784 October 13

Mr [John] Valton

My dear brother
Dr Davison’s advice was good. I desire you would not offer to preach within these four weeks. I was suspended for near four months, but good is the will of the Lord! I suppose nettle tea is the best bracer in the world, and next that, elixir of vitriol (ten drops in a glass of water at (ten) or eleven in the morning).
I am (inc)lined to think that temptation is purely preternatural. I was strongly assaulted by it toward the close of my fever, when I could hardly set a foot to the ground. Many years ago I told you the case of Mr Colley who was just in your case. He married and died. And do we not know
“All the promises are sure
To persevering prayer(”)?
I am,
Ever yours

Bringing it ‘Home’? Sociological Practice and the Practice of Sociology
No full textSince Sociology was established in 1967, the journal has assumed a significant role in shaping the discipline. In the interim years it is often said that the very practice of sociology has now ‘spun out’ beyond the dedicated departments that were once the centres of sociological practice. This raises questions as to the relationship between sociology and other disciplines, questions that are compelling and arguably distinct from a welcome recognition of sociology’s undoubted intellectual hybridity. The extent to which this is a productive tension or one that requires a resolution is an ongoing conversation to which this special issue speaks. In this introductory article we take what we consider to be an innovative route that is guided by the theme of ‘Bringing Sociology Home’ whilst simultaneously recognising the enormous strengths brought by the multidisciplinary developments of the last 50 volumes. We set out the terrain before introducing a mixture of short and substantive papers from contributors, as well as interviews, with scholars who have made a contribution to the study of the discipline of sociology both inside and beyond the pages of the journal
