On the Political Economy of Income Redistribution and Crime
No full textIn this paper we consider a general equilibrium model where heterogeneous agents specialize
either in legitimate market activities or in criminal activities and majority rule determines
the share of income redistributed and the expenditures devoted to the apprehension of
criminals. We calibrate our model to the U.S. economy in 1990, and we conduct simulation
exercises to evaluate the effectiveness of expenditures on police protection and income
redistribution at reducing crime. We find that while expenditures on police protection
reduce crime, it is possible for the crime rate to increase with redistribution. We also show
that economies that adopt relatively more generous redistribution policies may have either
higher or lower crime rates than economies with relatively less generous redistribution
policies, depending on the characteristics of their wage distribution and on the efficiency
of their apprehension technology.Imrohoroglu, Ayse; Merlo, Antonio; Rupert, Peter. (1996). On the Political Economy of Income Redistribution and Crime. Retrieved from the University Digital Conservancy, https://hdl.handle.net/11299/55756
Pattern Bargaining
No full textMany unions in the United States have for several years engaged in
what is known as pattern bargaining-a union determines a sequence
for negotiations with firms within an industry where the agreement
with the first firm becomes the take-it-or-leave-it offer by the union
for all subsequent negotiations. In this paper, we show that pattern
bargaining is preferred by a union to both simultaneous industry wide
negotiations and sequential negotiations without a pattern. In recent
years, unions have increasingly moved away from patterns that
equalized wage rates across firms when these patterns did not equalize
interfirm labor costs. Allowing for interfirm productivity differentials
within an industry, we show that pattern bargaining, whether it involves
commitment to a pattern in wages or to a pattern in labor
costs, achieves the highest possible payoff for the union from among
a large group of alternatives. We also show that for small interfirm
productivity differentials, the union most prefers a pattern in wages,
but for a sufficiently wide differential, the union prefers a pattern in
labor costs. These results provide an explanation for the pervasive
use of pattern bargaining as well as many of the observed changes in
pattern bargaining that have occurred in recent years.Marshall, Robert C.; Merlo, Antonio. (1996). Pattern Bargaining. Retrieved from the University Digital Conservancy, https://hdl.handle.net/11299/55755
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
