Do gender wage differences within households influence women's empowerment and welfare? : Evidence from Ghana
2021
Using household data from the latest wave of the Ghana Living Standards Survey, this paper utilizes machine learning techniques – IV LASSO – that allows for the treatment of unconfoundedness in the selection of observables and unobservables to examine the structural effect of gender wage differences within households on women's empowerment and welfare in Ghana. The structural parameters of the IV LASSO estimations show that a reduction in household gender wage gap significantly enhances women's empowerment. Also, a decline in household gender wage gap results meaningfully in improving household and women's welfare. Particularly, the increasing effect on women's welfare resulting from decrea…
Measuring the gender wage gap : a methodological note
2020
We propose to estimate the Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition by a single-equation model augmented with interactions between the group membership and other predictors. The relative importance of predictors on the discriminatory wage gap is examined by the interaction coefficients, which may lead to very different conclusions than the usual percentage calculations using the detailed decomposition method. Comparisons are made between the traditional interpretations and those suggested here using wage data from Finland. The decomposition analysis suggests that the discriminatory male-female wage gap is largely related to work experience, while our preferred model points to the importance of family g…
Differences in wage determination in the Eurozone: A challenge to the resilience of the common currency
2019
Abstract Different developments in wages and unit labor costs across countries can reduce the synchronization of business cycles within a currency area and therefore be a potential source of asymmetric shocks and/or asymmetric response to a common shock. In this paper, we use novel econometric methods to identify differences and similarities in wage determination across Eurozone countries. Results show that wages have different determinants across euro area countries, among which two relatively distinct groups can be identified. In particular, wages in Germany, Austria, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Finland behave more similarly, are less sticky and respond more to macroeconomic …
Technological change, occupational composition, and wage premiums : evidence from linked employer-employee data

Pollutants removal from municipal sewage by means of microalgae
2019
Microalgae are microorganisms able to photosynthesize, namely transforming inorganic substrates and sun light into organic compounds and chemical energy. The industry of microalgae has expanded in the last decades and several applications are now developed, making their biomass interesting under an economic perspective. Nannochlopsis gaditana is one of the most interesting species already employed in industry because of its high content in lipids that could be employed as source for biodiesel synthesis but also in other fields such as cosmetic and pharmaceutic. One of the most promising application is the exploitation of microalgal grow for bioremediating wastewaters polluted with inorganic…
Personāla vadība izplatīšanas uzņēmumos; paaugstinot sniegumu unmotivāciju, mainot algas formulu.
2021
Autora mērķis šajā rakstā bija rast risinājumu problēmai ar motivācijas trūkumu un zemu produktivitāti gadījumā, ja izplatīšanas uzņēmums Global Drinks, pirmajā daļā aprakstītas teorijas, pēc tam, kad autore nolēma veikt aptauju un apskatīt rezultātus no aptaujas iet tālāk. Rezultātu iegūšanai autore izmantoja kvantitatīvu pētījumu metodi. Aptaujas rezultāti parādīja, ka mazo uzņēmumu darbinieku labākais motivators ir algu paaugstināšana, pēc tam, kad autore konstatēja, ka uzņēmumam ir jāpaaugstina algas, tika nolemts atrast lētu veidu, kā to paaugstināt bez zaudējumiem uzņēmumam, jo tas ir maza izmēra un katra monēta tiek skaitīta. Autors ierosināja izmantot automatizāciju, lai uzņēmums va…
Returns To Education During And After The Economic Crisis: Evidence From Latvia 2006–2012
2017
We employ EU-SILC micro data for Latvia to study how returns to education changed during the economic crisis of 2008–2009 and afterwards. We found that returns to education increased significantly during the crisis and decreased slightly during the subsequent economic recovery. The counter-cyclical effect was evident in nearly all population groups. After the crisis, education became more associated than before with a longer working week and a higher employment probability. Furthermore, we show that returns to education in Latvia are generally higher in the capital city and its suburbs than outside the capital city region, as well as for citizens of Latvia than for resident non-citizens and…
Analysis of the Mobility of Heavy Metals in Sludge for the Sewage Treatment Plant in Daleszyce
2020
Osady ściekowe są produktem ubocznym procesów oczyszczania ścieków. Wykazują jednak wysokie właściwości nawo-zowe oraz glebotwórcze, jednak nie zawsze mogą być one wykorzystane w tym celu. Dwa główne kryteria ograniczające ich przyrodnicze wykorzystanie to zawartość metali ciężkich oraz jaj pasożytów. Osady ściekowe pobrane z oczyszczalni ścieków w Daleszycach zostały poddane analizie zawartości metali ciężkich. W tym celu wykonano analizę specjacyjną, pozwalającą podzielić całkowitą zawartość metali na cztery frakcje mobilności. Mobilność określa zdolność pierwiastka, lub któregoś z jego form, do przemieszczania się w środowisku. Badania wykonano, stosując czteroetapową procedurę BCR. Wyni…
La funzione anticoncorrenziale della contrattazione collettiva nazionale di categoria. Nodi critici e prospettive
2021
Diversi fattori concorrano a destabilizzare la funzione anticoncorrenziale della contrattazione collettiva. Tra questi, la segmentazione delle categorie e la frammentazione delle rappresentanze hanno contribuito alla proliferazione dei contratti disponibili, divenuti oggetto di una vera e propria competizione al ribasso. Il piano su cui la crisi della funzione antidumping della contrattazione appare più immediatamente tangibile è quello salariale, acuendo, piuttosto che arginando, l’ormai dilagante fenomeno di impoverimento del lavoro. Il saggio, dopo l’analisi di tali aspetti, si sofferma sulle opzioni de iure condendo e sul loro contributo in un’ottica di riconquista della tradizionale au…
Dynamiczna analiza shift share - ocena zmian struktury produkcji zwierzęcej w Polsce
2017
Dynamiczna metoda przesunięć udziałów uwzględnia zmienność wag w kolejnych okresach. Metoda ta została zaproponowana w 1988 przez Barffa i Knighta. Ideą metody jest przeprowadzenie w sposób rekurencyjny obliczeń dla każdych dwóch kolejnych okresów, aby ostatecznie dokonać agregacji wyników cząstkowych. Dodatkowo metoda ta pozwala na określenie tendencji w zakresie przemian gospodarki regionalnej. Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie analizy składników zmiany i możliwości jej wykorzystania do diagnostyki potencjału produkcyjnego rolnictwa regionu, a w szczególności wskazanie obiektów wyspecjalizowanych oraz charakteru zmian strukturalnych w zakresie badanego zjawiska.
