This study examines the impact of human capital on productivity of labor in Indonesia, using the ARDL analysis data method. This study uses the variable of human capital with a proxy level of labor education, the health status of labor and labor productivity. The data used are sourced from World Bank publications in the period of 1981-2014. The outputs of the analysis with the method of ARDL sh...

We use a general equilibrium model to study the impact of fully funding social security on the distribution of consumption across cohorts and over time. In an initial stationary equilibrium with an unfunded social security system, the capital-output ratio, debt-output ratio, and rate of return to capital are 3.2, 0.6 and 6.8%, respectively. In our rst experiment, we suddenly terminate social se...

The dominant feature of the female labor force in the United States across the twentieth century is its striking and large increase. But continuity in the increase may be an illusion. Women’s paid employment may have been permanently altered by certain events. The 1940s have been viewed as such a watershed decade. Labor force changes from 1940 to 1945 were huge. Around 14 million men were mobil...

As thrombin is proposed to be involved in stimulating myometrial contractility during labor and preterm labor, we aimed to investigate the expression of prothrombin (F7), the precursor of thrombin, its receptors, the protease-activated receptor (PAR) family (F2R, F2RL1, F2RL2, and F2RL3), and prothrombinase FGL2 in human myometrium during pregnancy and labor. Messenger RNA and protein were isol...

Health reforms in low and middle-income countries usually include the provision of free or subsidized health insurance. In this paper, I examine whether this type of insurance encourages employment by freeing up resources previously used by households to cope with health shocks. To isolate the causal effect of providing free health insurance I use a differencein-differences design that exploits...

Progesterone plays important roles in the regulation of female reproduction. In this study, progesterone receptor (PR) mRNA levels in rat uterus during pregnancy, labor, lactation and the estrous cycle were examined by competitive RT-PCR. During pregnancy and lactation, PR mRNA levels had decreased on day 20 of pregnancy (P20) and P21 compared with P15 but increased during labor. After a declin...

Using longitudinal survey data collected in collaboration with a treatment program, this paper estimates the economic impacts of antiretroviral treatment. The responses in two outcomes are studied: (1) labor supply of treated adult AIDS patients; and (2) labor supply of individuals in patients' households. Within six months after treatment initiation, there is a 20 percent increase in the likel...
