This study explores ways in which salary can be structured to reduce leadership shortages by investigating how comparative wage dispersion and position alter the relationship of salary to principal turnover. Using a seventeen-year longitudinal dataset covering over sixteen thousand principals in Texas, discrete-time hazard models demonstrate that principals are highly sensitive to salary comparisons over and above basic salary. Higher comparative position is associated with significantly reduced turnover risk, while wider dispersion is associated with a significantly increased turnover risk. Interactions demonstrate that dispersion and position act in tandem to create conditions where principals have particularly high turnover risk. These results have implications for strategies to address turnover through district salary structures, as well as broader notions of how wage tournaments operate in the principal labor market.

Social scientists have been intrigued by the relationship between generations based on different characteristics. Economists, has been especially interested in measuring intergenerational income elasticity, which looks at the relationship of parents and that of their children when they become adults and gives clue on trends of income inequality. Most of the literature concentrates on the experiences of developed countries and measurement issues. Nevertheless, new studies concerning intergenerational income elasticity is being undertaken in developing countries as the data become increasingly available for these countries. In this vein, there is only one previous study that investigates intergenerational income elasticity for Turkey. Mercan (2012) finds that intergenerational income elasticity is around 0.1 in Turkey, which depicts Turkey as a highly mobile country meaning that children of poor parents have a higher likelihood to have a better income status. However, his study does not depend on a longitudinal dataset, which might make Mercan’s (2012) estimate biased. Following Solon (1992) in using OLS for lower bound and instrumental variable (IV) for upper bound, this study puts forth a new estimate, which relies on a nationally representative and longitudinal dataset for Turkey. The study's estimate for intergenerational income elasticity varies between 0.3 and 0.6, which is much higher than the result of Mercan (2012), indicating that Turkey is a less mobile country than previously foreseen.

The study included 62 patients with uncomplicated primary and secondary infectious endocarditis admitted to S.P. Botkin city hospital from 2011 to 2014. The emphasis is laid on diagnostic significance of dynamic measurements of the levels of C-reactive protein, tumour necrosis factor, and highly sensitive troponin-1 for the evaluation of activity of the infectious/toxic process, severity of the disease, and detection of complications. The study revealed the relationship of the enhanced level of troponin-1 with changes of inflammation markers, morphofunctional characteristics of myocardium, and circulatory failure. Morphologicl study demonstrated inflammatory and dystrophic changes in myocardium, focal and diffuse cardiofibrosis suggesting development ofnon-coronarogenic myocardial lesions that play an important role in the progress of cardiac failure associated with infectious endocarditis.

The right to strike is everywhere recognized but appears unjustifiable. Strikers refuse to work but they claim a right to the job. This sounds like illiberal privilege, or at least it cannot be a coercively enforceable claim. I argue, however, that the right to strike is justified as a way of resisting intertwined forms of structural and personal domination associated with the modern labor market. Workers are structurally dominated insofar as being forced to make a contract with some employer or another leaves them vulnerable to exploitation. They are personally dominated insofar as they are required to submit to the arbitrary authority of managers in the workplace, which deepens their potential exploitation. Strikes contest this domination by reversing the relationship of power. Workers can formally quit the job but they can’t quit work, so strikers quit working but don’t quit the job.

Our study focuses on everyday manifestations of contemporary socioeconomic change. For a sample of young- and middle-aged German employees gathered in 2008 ( N = 281), we investigate the relationship of perceived rising demands regarding (a) the labor market and (b) the workplace context with subjective job insecurity. Regression analyses reveal a positive effect of rising labor market demands on job insecurity, which is buffered by education. The effect of education on job insecurity is mediated by rising labor market demands. Rising workplace demands show no effect on job insecurity for West German employees. In contrast, East Germans who experience rising workplace demands report lower levels of job insecurity. Results are discussed with a particular focus on rising demands in employment relationships.

In recent years, the Algerian labor market has undergone drastic changes as a result of supply and demand shocks caused by a drop in unemployment rates from 17.7% in 2003 to 11.7% in 2018 according to (ONS) data. However, this decline was more quantitative than qualitative, Under the age of 30, with a ratio of 60% among the new job seekers.In this paper, we will attempt to analyze the trends of the labor market and its ability to absorb youth unemployment through the field study carried out at the Tlemcen State level in 2017 to study the causal relationship between social and economic variables related to the development of labor resources, Linear approach based on the Statistic program.

Abstract The probability of providing informal care grows with one’s own age. While labor market effects due to caregiving are moderate, they could be concentrated in the years close to retirement. Therefore, I investigate whether care in the previous year leads to retirement in the year after by using German Socio-Economic Panel data from 2001 to 2009 and discrete-time hazard models. The effect of care on the retirement decision is indeed much higher than its effect on the labor or working hours of middleaged individuals. Women are affected to a larger extent but the retirement decision of men also reacts to their caregiving obligations.

The research on the influence of bid ask spread on the stock return has been widely applied. Some of these research indicates that spread has a positive and significant effect on the stock return and the other research show that spread has a negative and significant effect on the stock return. Referring to the results of these studies, the purpose of this research is to explain why the relationship of spread and stock return is not consistent. The study was conducted at the Indonesia Stock Exchange between the year 2007 and 2008 with the sample size 1.707 observations. In this study, first done decomposition of spread to information friction and real friction. Based on the decomposition of spread, further the component of information friction and real friction associated with the stock return. The results of the research showed that the component of information friction has a positive and significant effect on the stock return. Furthermore, the component of real friction has a negative and significant effect on the stock return. Therefore, the inconsistency coefficient direction of the influence of spread on the stock return caused components of the spread. Furthermore, the results showed that the stock return are highly sensitive to the changes of information friction
