Labour Market Adjustments in Europe
. . . the book is an interesting contribution to the literature on labour market practices in Europe. The important statistics and analysis conducted by the authors in the book have important implications for scholars in the international entrepreneurship field wanting to know more about the diverse labour practices in Europe. Vanessa Ratten, Journal of International Entrepreneurship It is now widely accepted that expansionary fiscal or monetary policies alone are unlikely to help Europe s ailing economies. Solving Europe s economic problems requires reform of the economic institutions that influence economic activity and the way the economy responds to macroeconomic shocks. This volume empl...
Causal Effects of Social Capital
This book presents a series of studies focusing on the role of social capital in the labor market and beyond. Using the effect of individual social capital on labor markets as an example, this book pays special attention to the origins of and solutions to the endogeneity problem. It uses several identification strategies to systematically test for the causal effects of social capital. First, this book constitutes the first attempt to offer a systematic account of the progress made by social scientists in improving causal inferences into the role of social capital in labor markets. Second, the book adopts specialized approaches—both classical and new—toward different sources of endogeneit...
Life Cycle Investing and Occupational Old-Age Provision in Switzerland
Florian Zainhofer uses the theory of life cycle investing as a framework to study the implications of a potential BVG individualization. He proposes a model adapted to Swiss conditions and parameterized with estimated Swiss earnings dynamics.
Internal Labor Mobility in Central Europe and the Baltic Region
Large regional disparities in labor market indicators exist in Central Europe and the Baltic region. Such disparities appear to be persistent over time indicating, in part, a lack of flexibility in the prevailing adjustment mechanisms. Internal labor mobility is often seen as an important instrument to reduce adjustment costs when other mechanisms fail. Drawing from a variety of data sources and utilizing a common empirical framework and estimation strategy, this study identifies patterns and statistical profiles of geographical mobility. It finds internal migration to be generalily low and highly concentrated among better-educated, young, and single workers. This suggests that migration is more likely to reinforce existing inequalities than to act as an equalizing phenomenon. By way of contrast, commuting flows have grown over time and are more responsive to regional economic differentials. The findings suggest the need for appropriate and country-tailored policy measures designed to increase the responsiveness of labor flows to market conditions.
The Customering Method
Despite the promise of enhanced customer engagement through new technology, consumer trust has suffered widespread collapse and annual corporate losses are in the trillions. This book exposes the faulty foundation of the populist Customer Experience (CX) movement, upturns long-held beliefs in its effectiveness, and details an alternative – industrial – approach to the customer asset base. Aarron Spinley is recognized as a foremost mind in the realm of customer science and strategy. His work helps us to understand – and extract – customer value based on evidence, and in so doing, influences our relationship with technology for better results. The Customering Method marries the science...
The Palgrave Companion to LSE Economics
The London School of Economics (LSE) has been and continues to be one of the most important global centres for economics. With six chapters on themes in LSE economics and 29 chapters on the lives and work of LSE economists, this volume shows how economics became established at the School, how it produced some of the world’s best-known economists, including Lionel Robbins and Bill Phillips, plus Nobel Prize winners, such as Friedrich Hayek, John Hicks and Christopher Pissarides, and how it remains a global force for the very best in teaching and research in economics. With original contributions from a stellar cast, this volume provides economists – especially those interested in macroeconomics and the history of economic thought – with the first in-depth analysis of LSE economics.
The Economics of Creative Destruction
A stellar cast of economists examines the roles of creative destruction in addressing today’s most important political and social questions. Inequality is rising, growth is stagnant while rents accumulate, the environment is suffering, and the COVID-19 pandemic exposed every crack in the systems of global capitalism. How can we restart growth? Can our societies be made fairer? Editors Ufuk Akcigit and John Van Reenen assemble a world-leading group of social scientists and theorists to consider these questions and, in particular, how ideas about the economics of creative destruction may help solve the problems we face. Most closely associated with Joseph Schumpeter, formalized by Philippe A...
Understanding Migration with Macroeconomics
This edited collection includes (but is not limited to) contributions in the form of chapters from the participants of the Workshop on the Macroeconomics of Migration at the University of Sheffield in June 2018. Migration is one of the most debated issues currently and is a pervasive feature of our economies. While extensive academic work has looked at the microeconomic aspects of migration, an open question is to better understand the links between migration and macroeconomic aggregates, such as per capita GDP. This book explores this overarching question, which has hit the key political and social debates all over Europe. Countries that are traditionally viewed as hosting economies for imm...
