This paper examines the association of charitable donations with quality of care proxies for nonprofit hospice providers in the United States (US). An estimated 1.45 million patients received hospice care in the US in 2008. Medicare hospice spending exceeded $10 billion in 2007 and is expected to more than double over the next 10 years. Using Guidestar and Medicare Hospice Cost Report data, we find donations are positively associated with proxies for nurse and social worker quality of care, but not with our home-health aide quality proxy. This research adds to our understanding of charitable contributions in hospice provider organizations.

The aim of this article is to describe the domination of the invention of technology in society activities in the form of commodities in post capitalist society. The products produced by the capitalist corporations have made the society very consumptive; they have become highly dependent on communication technology products such as gadgets, mobile phones, and computers. Changes in conventional business transactions into electronic transactions, media activities that have made the community as a spectacle for others, as well as changes in worker quality from skill worker to knowledge worker. Nevertheless, it is important to observe why people become dependent on these kinds of commodities. What kind of commodities will provide to the society in post capitalist era and how it is provide? This article is devoted to answer these questions.

Manufactured Housing (MH) is the process of producing building units or entire buildings in an offsite factory and transporting them to the site for installation and assembly. The application of advanced manufacturing technologies into the housing process not only will increase productivity, but also can provide a safer work environment, stable work location, long-term growth opportunities, and career progression for employees. Today, the MH workforce is facing problems with worker quality and retention. The rising demand for MH indicates the need for training a multi-skilled labor force for this industry. This paper evaluates the essence of an educational program for MH industry and discusses the rationale for training the MH workforce in comparison to conventional training programs. In response to the stated problem of Inadequate training programs, the curriculum for Training Manufactured Construction (TRAMCON) was developed by the University of Florida and delivered throughout Florida by the TRAMCON Consortium. While the quantitative results in labor performance improvement in the factory plants have not yet been established, the major strengths and challenges of the program are discussed.

SummaryCollective wage contracts impose restrictions on wage-setting. We utilize German linked employer-employee data for blue-collar worker to compute the dispersion of wages and wage components within and across firms under three different wage-setting regimes: Establishments applying industry-wide collective contracts, establishments with firm-level contracts and uncovered establishments. The empirical analysis confirms a lower dispersion of wages and in particular “worker quality indices” for firms applying sectoral collective contracts compared to companies in the other two wage-setting regimes. Between the years 1990, 1995 and 2001 the dispersion of wages increases, and this is valid too for firms covered by industry-wide collective contracts. A sensitivity analysis demonstrates that the results retain their statistical significance and do not change qualitatively if we modify the minimum firm size (establishments with at least 50,100 and 250 employees) or take into account the endogeneity of tenure or self-selection of workers into bargaining regimes.

Price Equalization

This study tests the relative factor price equality across districts in Punjab using the methodology developed by Bernard, Redding, and Schott (2009) and data from the Census of Manufacturing Industries for 2000/01 and 2005/06. The results indicate the absence of relative factor price equalization due to the uneven distribution of factors in the province. Nonproduction (white-collar) workers) are relatively scarce in Punjab, which results in a wage premium for this type of labor. The study adjusts for worker quality by using a Mincerian wage equation as worker quality could explain the wage differential between white-collar and blue-collar workers. However, this exercise yields similar results, implying that factors are distributed unevenly across the districts of Punjab even after controlling for worker quality differences.
