The demand for skills and the labor cost in partner countries: evidence from the enlarged EU
No full textThe EU enlargement and domestic employment
No full textWe propose a study on the interdependence among EU member states, focusing on their labor markets over the period
1995-2005. Increased accessibility of detailed sector level labor statistics allows us to consider trade based linkages and
interaction mechanisms between domestic and foreign employment in manufacturing and tradable business services in
"Old" and "New" partners in the EU. From the estimate of the empirical model, the domestic demand for labor in the
EU-15 is negatively affected by other "Old" EU members'' average cost of labor and positively affected by the average
cost of labor in ''New'' partners: "Old" EU members'' domestic labor then appears as a complement with respect to
other "Old" EU partners'' labor and as a substitute with respect to workers in ''New'' members. Finally, employment in
the latter group of countries is not really affected by wage conditions in partners regardeless of the level of their
development
EU Enlargement and Labour Demand in the New Member States
No full textOur work focuses on the labour market responses to trade integrations concerning NMS-5 in the
period of the dynamic integration with EU-15 markets (1995-2005). We draw on sector level
statistics, concerning manufacturing and some services, and explore possible
complementarity/substitution relationship between NMS-5 domestic labour and foreign workers
from the integrating EU. To this aim we estimate an empirical model of conditional sector labour
demand, which takes into account not only domestic input prices but also foreign wage conditions,
weighted by the magnitude of bilateral trade flows between single NMS-5 and their partner
countries. Overall estimates do not prove a significant response of NMS-5 based labour to wage
conditions in their partner countries. However, the typology of sectors taken into consideration
results to be crucial: specific results confirm that possible competition between NMS-5 and EU-15
workers may consider labour force employed in low skill intensive manufacturing sectors
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
