There is a strong case for arguing that, in contradiction to some traditional arguments in public economics, capital income should be taxed, though not necessarily under the same rate schedule as labour earnings. The Dual Income Taxation (DIT) system consists of two parallel piecewise linear tax schedules, in which that for capital income has a zero lower bracket rate and an upper bracket rate ...

In this paper we provide an account of Australian immigration in the late twentieth century focusing on labour market and industrial relations issues. The paper chronicles the changing immigration policy framework, from one premised on exclusion to one designed primarily to serve the needs of the domestic labour market. Since 1997 the majority of settlers arrived under the skills category of th...

After Doeringer and Piore laid the foundation for an analysis of labour market segmentation (LMS) in 1971, similar approaches developed rapidly and spread all over the United States and Europe. During the 1970s and 1980s, the segmented framework or the internal labour market (ILM) concept were necessary references in labour economics studies. Different interpretations of the segmentation theory...

The firm uses perfectly flat hourly wage system with no reward for tenure or individual productivity. This system leads to the phenomenon of negative selection, where only employees with lower outside options r...

Most research on the contribution of human capital to economic growth and its role in the distribution of income uses indirect measures of human capital such as educational attainment and work experience. Such measures are arguably inputs into the production of human capital in the form of skills, competencies and knowledge. This study uses Canadian data from the International Adult Literacy Su...

China has experienced unprecedented economic growth for a long time. How long will such a high growth be sustained? The answer to this question, to a large extent, depends on whether China has exhausted its rural surplus labour. In this paper, I use an unique payroll data from seven large manufacturing factories to show that wages of unskilled labour in these factories have not increased signif...

In recent years, the economics of migration literature has shown a substantial growth in papers exploring host country impacts beyond the labour market. Specifically, researchers have begun to shift their attention from labour market and fiscal changes, towards exploring what we might call ‘the wider effects of migration’ on the production and consumption sides of the economy – and the role of ...
