the extraordinary revolution in biotechnology has created new possibilities for curing disease and manipulating our genetic heritage. it is easy to see how biotechnology can be used for medicinal purposes. knowledge of the genetic makeup of our species, the genetic basis of heritable diseases, and the invention of technology to manipulate and fix mutant genes provides methods to treat the disea...

We use state and county level variation to examine the impact of the American Readjustment and Recovery Act on employment. A cross state analysis suggests that one additional job was created by each $170,000 in stimulus spending. Time series analysis at the state level suggests a smaller response with a per job cost of about $400,000. These results imply Keynesian multipliers between 0.5 and 1....

We use state and county level variation to examine the impact of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act on employment. A cross state analysis suggests that one additional job was created by each $107,000 in stimulus spending. Time series analysis at the state level suggests a smaller response with a per job cost of about $400,000. These results imply Keynesian multipliers between 0.5 and 1....

They are making careers at the employer they are employed by and most work-place changes are to other jobs of the same type. But it does no...

Dua and Miller (1996) created leading and coincident employment indexes for the state of Connecticut, following Moore’s (1981) work at the national level. The performance of the DuaMiller indexes following the recession of the early 1990s fell short of expectations. This paper performs two tasks. First, it describes the process of revising the Connecticut Coincident and Leading Employment Index...

We investigate the impact of ‘Working Credit’, a nationally-implemented programme which created increased incentives for welfare recipients to undertake temporary work. Highlighting the difficulties in identifying programme effects in the absence of a randomised controlled trial or a natural experiment, we produce estimates of impacts under alternative identifying assumptions and also undertake...

Increasing problems of rural unemployment in Indonesia are at the core of this report. Numbers of unemployed increased dramatically after the 1997 economic crisis and millions of people searched to be reabsorbed in rural labour markets. Agricultural land is scarce, however, and entry barriers are often high in non-farm businesses. Access to capital and information is limited for the rural poor ...

In The continuously increasing enrolment of higher education has created some employment problems. It is very meaningful that we scientifically forecast and analysis the graduates employment trends. Based on the basic principle of Grey Model with First Order Differential Equation and one Variable (GM(1,1)) and Power Function x   Transformation, in this paper, a new Variable Weights Buffer Fir...
