Dual labor markets, efficiencey wages, and search

Article Abstract:

Studies on the equilibrium models of a dual labor market are conducted. The research model involves that of two sectors within a firm, with the only difference between being that of effort requirements between these two sectors. The study hopes to determine whether a worker would be able to meet production requirements after acceptance of an employment offer. Proper monitoring methods for employee production were also developed as a result of the study.

The Effects of Rising Female Labor Supply on Male Wages

Article Abstract:

Research results indicate that the increasing number of female workers during the 1980s did not play a major role in the decline of less-skilled males' real wages and in increasing wage inequality between skilled and less-skilled males. Instead, the results indicate that, in comparison to the 1970s, the growth in female labor supply slowed during the 1980s and that women raised the economy's relative supply of skill during that decade.

Unemployment Compensation Finance and Efficiency Wages

Article Abstract:

An equilibrium unemployment model is used to compare the effects of the use of an experience rating system and the use of a pure payroll-tax to finance unemployment compensation. Study results indicate that, in accordance with conventional wisdom, experience rating is a more desirable finance system, in that it results in less unemployment than would result from a pure payroll-tax system.
