Probability Of Coverage

The authors investigate the determinants of union coverage using 1986 cross-section data on Canadian workers. Larger firm size, larger establishment size, and higher injury rates increase the probability of union coverage. Industry concentration, import penetration, and the substitutability of labor do not affect coverage through their impact on the union-nonunion wage differential, but concentration increases the probability of coverage through a mechanism unrelated to the wage differential. Mandatory checkoff provisions increase the probability of coverage, but the estimated effect is barely significant. Restrictions on replacement workers and interprovincial differences in automatic certification provisions have statistically insignificant effects. Finally, the results are sensitive to treating some industry characteristics as endogenous (that is, jointly determined with union coverage and union and nonunion wages)—a treatment not used in other studies.

We report triple differential cross-sections (TDCSs) for the electron impact single ionization of tungsten atoms for the ionization taking place from the outer sub shells of tungsten atoms, viz. W (6s), W (5d), W (5p) and W (4f). The study of the electron-induced processes such as ionization, excitation, autoionization from tungsten and its charged states is strongly required to diagnose and model the fusion plasma in magnetic devices such as Tokamaks. Particularly, the cross-section data are important to understand the electron spectroscopy involved in the fusion plasma. In the present study, we report TDCS results for the ionization of W atoms at 200, 500 and 1000 eV projectile energy at different values of scattered electron angles. It was observed that the trends of TDCSs for W (5d) are significantly different from the trends of TDCSs for W (6s), W (5p) and W (4f). It was further observed that the TDCS for W atoms has sensitive dependence on value of momentum transfer and projectile energy.

The Empirical Analysis

This paper develops and illustrates the use of two methodologies to analyze the effect of unions on productivity in the public sector. Although the methodologies are applicable to a wide variety of public sector functions, the focus of the paper is on municipal libraries because of the availability of relevant data. The empirical analysis, which uses 1977 cross-section data on 260 libraries, suggests that collective bargaining coverage has not significantly affected productivity in municipal libraries.

Cubic Polynomial

Carter and Signorino (2010) (hereinafter “CS”) add another arrow, a simple cubic polynomial in time, to the quiver of the binary time series—cross-section data analyst; it is always good to have more arrows in one's quiver. Since comments are meant to be brief, I will discuss here only two important issues where I disagree: are cubic duration polynomials the best way to model duration dependence and whether we can substantively interpret duration dependence.
