In a competitive model we ease the assumption that efficiency units of labour are the
product of hours and workers. We show that a minimum wage may either increase or
decrease hours per worker and the change will have ...

Bhaskar and To (1999) develop a model of monopsonistic competition and solve explicitly for equilibrium. While a minimum wage set just above the unconstrained optimum leads firms to increase employment it also causes firm ...

The mixing of L1 speakers with L2 learners occurs regularly in immersion situations where a minority language is the target language. This study looks at early immersion in Irish among children from diverse language ...
In recent years, a broad academic consensus has arisen that favors using rational expectations sticky-price models to capture inflation dynamics. We review the principal conclusions of this literature concerning: (1) the ...
This study evaluates the effects of hiring by major airlines and changes in military compensation on the voluntary departure of male pilots from the Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps. Our results should be of interest to ...
In recent years, a broad academic consensus has arisen around the use of rational expectations sticky-price models to capture inflation dynamics. These models are seen as providing an empirically reasonable characterization ...
This paper attempts to model the nominal and real exchange rate for Ireland, relative to Germany and the UK from 1975 to 2003. It offers an overview of the theory of purchasing power parity (Ppp), focusing particularly on ...

This paper discusses the question of trade union membership. Where membership is not compulsory workers have an incentive to free-ride if the unions only provide collective goods such as wage bargaining.
Contingent Valuation is now the most widely used method for valuing non-marketed goods in cost benefit analysis. Yet, despite the fact that many externalities manifest themselves as costs to some and benefits to others, ...
This paper develops a general repeated game model over an arbitrary time domain. The paper considers the issue of formulating strategic behaviour in a general framework which includes continuous time behaviour. There are ...

This paper develops a general repeated game model over arbitrary time domain (which includes continuous time behaviour). A player is committed at any point in time to history independent behaviour for a positive length of ...

We use an equilibrium search framework to model a formal- informal sector labour market where the informal sector arises endogenously. In our model large firms will
be in the formal sector and pay a wage premium, while ...

Wallers (1989) model which incorporates an effort augmented production function into a
traditional Keynesian analysis of supply and demand shocks is generalised by not
restricting the elasticity of substitution between ...
