The effect of motor carrier deregulation on the employment and earnings of truck drivers is examined, using data for the period 1973-95. The use of a quasi-experimental design is made possible through the comparison of wages before and after deregulation among drivers in the previously regulated for-hire sector, drivers in unregulated private carriage, and an economy-wide group of male non-driv...

Nowadays, the deregulations of firing attract much more attention, in Japan. The effects of these deregulations are frequently discussed in the view of firms’ employment decisions. This paper focuses attention on another effect of deregulations using bargaining models with adjustment costs. We show that, regardless of the deregulation increases a long-run employment level, the welfare of worker...

The purpose of Campbell and Hercowitz (2009) is to evaluate quantitatively the macroeconomic effects of deregulation of the mortgage market in the early 1980s. This deregulation made it easier for consumers to use houses as collateral for loans. The paper focusses on two questions. First, can this deregulation help to explain the increase in real interest rates in the early 1980s? Second, and m...

Background & Aims of the Study: It is believed that immature defensive mechanisms and impulsiveness make people vulnerable to smoker and drugs, and these individuals experience more negative emotions and have less options for reducing their psychological disorders. The study sought to determine the role of difficulty in emotional self-regulation, impulsiveness, and defensive me...

Objective(s): MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a subfamily of small noncoding RNAs that play a variety of roles in regulating gene expression in nearly all organisms. They affect different biological pathways by post-transcriptionally regulating mRNAs. Aside from miRNAs’  role in maintaining cellular homeostasis, their perturbation is related to several pathologic states and dis...

The deregulation of the 2.5A synthetase RNase L antiviral pathway and the prevalence of Mycoplasma spp. in subsets of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome [CFS] have been separately reported in the scientific literature. We hypothesised that a co-morbid pathophysiological mechanism involving infection by Mycoplasma spp. and the deregulation of the 2,5A synthetase / RNase L antiviral pathway may exist in CF...

As the market expands, regulation to foster orderly growth of the industry begins to become fetters for further growth. In the 1980’s, mission was initiated in Japan to deregulate economic regulations of the domestic aviation market. In line with deregulation policy, airport capacity expansion was accelerated to facilitated growth of the market. In this paper, social welfare of deregulation and...

This paper examines takeover and divestiture activity at the industry level for the population of UK firms over the period 1986 to 2000. Consistent with US research, takeovers and divestitures in the UK cluster both across industries and over time. The paper further investigates whether broad economic shocks, industry-specific shocks (e.g., deregulation, foreign competition, technology) and mis...

This paper provides an overview of the evidence addressing the impairments of the 2'-5' oligoadenylate (2-5 A) synthetase/RNase L pathway in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) patients. The 2-5A synthetase/RNase L pathway in CFS patients appears to be both up-regulated (i.e. increased levels of bioactive 2-5A synthetase and increased activity of the RNase L enzyme) and deregulated (elastase and cal...
