Industrial Structure and Child Labor. Evidence from Brazil
In this paper we investigate whether the differential evolution of child labor across Brazilian states between 1980 and 2000 can be explained by their different patterns of specialization in industries where children have a comparative advantage. We find that the adoption of different industries mixes by different states accounts for 20% to 30% of the observed variation in child labor in rural ...
متن کاملBanking Structure, Labor Intensity, and Industrial Growth: Evidence from China
While China has seen rapid economic growth over the last three decades, many studies document a negative correlation between traditional measurements of banking development and economic growth in China. Among many efforts to explain the low efficiency of Chinese banking sector, two arguments focus on the dominance of the four big state-owned banks but they emphasize different facets of the “Big...

THE LABOR FORCE PARTICIPATION rate is defined as the percentage of the noninstitutional working-age population (those aged 16 and over) reporting themselves as either working or actively looking for work. This statistic is constructed from data collected as part of the Current Population Survey and published monthly by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Its longer-run trend is an important d...
متن کاملLabor Share in the Change of Japanese Industrial Structure
The investigation by E. Dietzenbacher et al. (2004) has shown the decline of the U.S. labor share for a term of 1982-1997 in spite of the rise of labor productivity. This controversial observation must be inquired to be valid for the other economy or not, and it should be explained for those dynamic causes of change. This research adopted the extended multiplicative structural decomposition ana...
متن کاملRelative Pay and Labor Supply
The authors use a laboratory experiment to examine the impact of relative wages on labor supply. They test the hypothesis that, ceteris paribus, making a given wage high (low) relative to other wage levels will lead to an increase (decrease) in labor supply. They find that labor supply does respond significantly to relative pay, and in the expected direction. However, when a strong enough reaso...
