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

"Asset Poverty in The United States: Its Persistence in an Expansionary Economy"
Get PDFFrom 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.
Spillovers, Linkages, and Productivity Growth in the US Economy, 1958 to 2007
Get PDFI speculate that technological spillover effects may have become more important over time as IT penetrated the U.S. economy. The rationale is that IT may speed up the process of knowledge transfer and make these knowledge spillovers more effective. Using US input-output tables for years 1958, 1967, 1977, 1987, 1997, and 2007, I compare my new results with Wolff and Nadiri (1993) covering years 1947-1977 and Wolff (1997) covering 1958- 1987. I estimate that the direct rate of return to R&D is now 22% and the indirect rate of return to R&D is 37%. The former is higher than in the previous studies. The indirect rate of return to R&D is now significant at the one percent level, in comparison to a 10 percent significance level in Wolff (1997). The newly estimated social rate of return to R&D is 59%, compared to 53% in Wolff (1997). In contrast to the earlier studies, the coefficients of R&D embodied in new investment are now statistically significant at the five percent level. Separate regressions on the 1958-1987 and 1987-2007 periods and the addition of successive periods to the sample also suggest a strengthening of R&D spillovers between the 1958-1987 and 1987-2007 periods. A decomposition of TFP growth also indicates a higher contribution from R&D spillovers in the later period. These results suggest a strengthening of the R&D spillover effect over time.

La logica di Wolff e la nascita della logica delle facoltà
No full textCosa ha a che fare la logica con l’esperienza umana? Nulla, è la risposta che più ci si aspetta, poiché la logica è una scienza riguardante esclusivamente le proprietà formali della consistenza e dell’implicazione e dunque interamente a priori, mentre l’esperienza umana è contingente e soggettiva e può essere conosciuta solo a posteriori. Voler a tutti i costi legare le due cose porta con sé la costituzione di una prospettiva non solo impervia, ma anche di cattiva fama: lo psicologismo. Eppure, dal punto di vista della psicologia, la logica è una teoria del tutto legittima, una teoria del ragionamento. A sua volta, il ragionamento non è altro che l’attività di organismi intelligenti e dei loro strumenti, che sono poi le loro facoltà; e arrivo così all’oggetto che ho indicato dal titolo e al ruolo svolto da Christian Wolff nel proporne una considerazione logica. Il periodo coperto da questo contributo va dal 1690, l’anno di nascita, nello Essay concerning Human Understanding, di quella che si suole definire la logica delle facoltà (facultative logic), fino al 1800, l’anno di pubblicazione della kantiana Logik a cura di Gottlob Benjamin Jäsche. Il primo paragrafo parte dalle definizioni, si potrebbe dire “metafisiche”, delle facoltà date da Wolff nella Psychologia empirica e nella Psychologia rationalis, due testi degli anni trenta, il secondo considera Locke e Thomasius come fonti di Wolff, il terzo e il quarto si occupano della “logica” delle facoltà, rispettivamente, nella logica tedesca e nella logica latina; il quinto paragrafo, infine, offre uno sguardo conclusivo sui pensatori dell’illuminismo tedesco più influenzati da Wolff, ovvero Baumgarten, Meier e, appunto, Kant
