"Asset Poverty in The United States: Its Persistence in an Expansionary Economy"
No full textFrom this paper's Preface, by Dr. Dimitri B. Papadimitriou, President: Economic growth and a rising stock market in the 1990s gave the impression that everyone was accumulating wealth and asset poverty rates were declining. The impression was supported by the official, income-based poverty measure, which exhibited a sharp decline. According to Senior Scholar Edward N. Wolff and Research Scholar Asena Caner, poverty measures should include wealth as well as income. Their study of asset poverty in the United States between 1984 and 1999 focuses on the lower end of the wealth distribution and shows that asset poverty rates did not decline during the period studied, and that the severity of poverty increased. It also shows that asset poverty is much more persistent than income poverty.

Unemployment Benefits and Unemployment Rates of Low-Skilled and Elder Workers in West Germany: A Search Equilibrium Approach

To answer this question we estimate a version of the Burdett-Mortensen search equilibrium model and analyze how workers’ search behaviour responded to these reforms. We try both nonparametric and fully-parametric estimation methods and identify the cases in which the nonparametric approach cannot be applied. We find that the entitlement reforms are largely responsible for the increase of unemployment among unskilled workers

No full textThe Pocket Sky Atlas
No full textThe Pocket Sky Atlas by Stephanie Wolff is a carefully crafted book that begins with its design, featuring a small rectangular box that echoes the book\u27s cover material. Upon opening, readers encounter a title page and a poignant dedication that reads For all those who look up, setting the tone for a contemplative exploration of the sky.The interior of the book is thoughtfully designed, with monotype depictions of skies occupying the right-hand pages, accompanied by carefully selected quotes on the corresponding left pages. These quotes represent a diverse range of voices—from renowned historical figures to more obscure, everyday observers—creating a rich tapestry of human perspectives on the celestial landscape. Each sky is rendered in full bleed, using a palette limited to blue and gray, which creates a sense of simplicity and depth. The book\u27s innovative design includes a stepped foredge, where each page is slightly shorter than the one preceding it. This clever technique allows the edges of multiple skies to be visible when the book is first opened, creating a layered visual experience. A particularly engaging feature is found at the book\u27s conclusion: a pocket containing a volvelle. This spinning overlay reveals small, intricate portions of the sky, each meticulously matched to the interior page illustrations. This interactive element invites readers to engage more deeply with the visual narrative. Ultimately, the work is a profound meditation on the sky, celebrating humanity\u27s enduring fascination with and appreciation of the celestial realm throughout centuries of observation and wonder.https://scholarship.rollins.edu/book_arts/1151/thumbnail.jp
