Employment stability of entrants in newly founded firms: a matching approach using linked employer-employee data from Germany
Get PDFUsing a linked employer-employee dataset and taking the perspective of individuals rather than firms, this paper analyzes some effects of joining start-ups. We show that entrants in new firms differ from those joining incumbent firms, and we use a matching approach to compare a group of employees joining new firms in 1995/96 with a control group entering incumbent firms. Our results indicate that individuals' employment stability was higher in incumbent than in newly founded firms while their risk of becoming unemployed was lower. In particular in eastern Germany, joining firms that were older than six years was the best strategy. -- Diese Arbeit analysiert unter Verwendung eines verbundenen Arbeitgeber-Arbeitnehmer-Datensatzes einige Auswirkungen des Eintritts in Neugründungen, wobei die Sicht von Individuen statt von Firmen eingenommen wird. Wir zeigen, dass Personen, die in neue Firmen eintreten, sich von Eintreten-den in bestehende Firmen unterscheiden, und wir verwenden einen Matching-Ansatz, um eine Gruppe von Personen, die 1995/96 in Neugründungen eintrat, mit einer Kontrollgruppe von Eintretenden in bestehende Firmen zu vergleichen. Unsere Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, dass die Beschäftigungsstabilität der eintre-tenden Personen in bestehenden Firmen höher als in Neugründungen ausfiel, während ihr Risiko arbeitslos zu werden geringer war. Insbesondere in den neuen Bundesländern bestand die beste Strategie darin, in Firmen einzutreten, die älter als sechs Jahre waren.employment,unemployment,newly founded firma,linked employer-employee data,Germany

No full textBarbara J. Ford is the executive director of the Virginia Commonwealth University Libraries in Richmond and is the immediate past president (1997-98) of the American Library Association. Prior to joining VCU in 1991 she served seven years as associate library director at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas. From 1975 to 1984 she served several capacities at the University of Illinois at Chicago, including documents librarian and audiovisual librarian. In addition, she was the director of the Soybean Insect Research Information Center at the Illinois Natural History Survey and a Peace Corps volunteer in Panama and Nicaragua. She was a section secretary of the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions from 1985-89 and served on the Libraries Working Group of the U.S./Mexico Commission on Cultural Cooperation in 1990. From 1989-91 she was on the board of directors of the Friends of the San Antonio Public Library and was president of the Richmond (Va.) Academic Library Consortium in 1992-93. After graduating magna cum laude with a degree in history from IWU in 1968, Ford earned a master\u27s degree in international relations at Tufts University Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, then a master\u27s degree in library science from the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign in 1973. The author of numerous publications and presentations, Ford has traveled extensively to address such topics as information literacy, the future of academic libraries, international cooperation among libraries and virtual libraries. She is a member of the Virginia State Council of Higher Education Library advisory committee and the Virtual Library of Virginia steering committee. She serves on the boards of the Fund for America\u27s Libraries and the Freedom to Read Foundation.https://digitalcommons.iwu.edu/awards_distinguished/1031/thumbnail.jp
Continuous expression of metabotropic glutamate receptor 1 is required for maintenance of tumorigenesis in GRM1 transformed mouse kidney epithelial cells
No full textWithin the United States, skin cancer has become a predominant form of cancer that occurs across all age groups, racial backgrounds, and to both genders equally. Melanoma arises from malignant melanocytes that reside within the epidermis of the skin. It is the most serious form of skin cancer, causing the most mortality among all skin cancers. Currently, due to the limited treatment options available, patients have severely reduced survival rates as the disease advances toward Stage IV. Advancements in understanding of the mechanisms of melanoma development and novel targets for treatment are in great need for patients inflicted with this devastating disease.
Metabotropic glutamate receptors are normally expressed within the central nervous system (CNS) where they use glutamate, the most abundant neural transmitter, as their natural ligand. Within the CNS, these receptors have important diversified functions ranging from mediation of slow excitatory and inhibitory responses to memory formation and neuronal development. Our lab has identified the etiological role of Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 1 (Grm1) in melanoma development in transgene mouse models. Subsequently, our lab also detected GRM1 expression in approximately 40% of human melanomas biopsy and cell line samples. These results led us to investigate the role of GRM1 in other types of cancer.
Epithelial cancers are the abundant category of cancers to inflict humans, relating GRM1 and its possible role in solid tumors could introduce a novel target for developing cancer therapies. Since continuous expression of Grm1 was demonstrated to be required for the maintenance of the tumorigenic phenotype in Grm1-mouse melanocytes, my project is to determine whether this is true for an epithelial cell system. With the use of Grm1-transformed mouse kidney epithelial cells, an inducible tetracycline siRNA system was introduced into the cells and tested with/without the inducer, doxycycline, for the suppression of Grm1 expression levels in vitro and in vivo. The in vivo data demonstrated decreased tumor volumes in the doxycycline treatment groups, validating the decreased expression of Grm1 seen in vitro, compared to the no treatment groups. These results provide evidence that Grm1 expression is necessary to maintain the tumorigenic phenotype of Grm1 transformed cells.M.S.Includes bibliographical references (p. 46-53)by Barbara J.
