A következőkben a Journal of Economic Perspectives hasábjain 2021-ben publikált tanulmány leglényegesebb megállapításait igyekszem kiemelni és ismertetni. A szerzőpáros kutatásának kérdése az volt, hogy feltárják, vajon mi vezetett ahhoz, hogy míg az Amerika Egyesült Államokban a XIX. század végén még egyetlen egyetem sem tartozott a világ legjobbjai közé, addig ma a 100 legjobb egyetem közel fele ebben az országban található.

Joacim Tag of Research Institute of Industrial Economics reviews “Antitrust and Regulation in the EU and US: Legal and Economic Perspectives” by Francois Leveque, Howard Shelanski, Francois Leveque, Howard Shelanski,. The EconLit Abstract of the reviewed work begins “Seven papers, originally presented at the “Balancing Antitrust and Regulation in Network Industries: Evolving Approaches in Europe and the United States” conference jointly organized by CERNA and the Berkeley Center for Law and Technology and held in Paris in January 2006, address various aspects of the evolving balance between antitrust and regulation in the European Union and the United States. Papers discuss synthetic competition (Douglas H. Ginsburg); European competition policy and regulation--differences, overlap, and contraints (John Temple Lang); contrasting legal solutions and the comparability of EU and U.S. experiences (Pierre Larouche); modeling an antitrust regulator for telecoms (James B. Speta); rethinking merger remedies--toward a harmonization of regulatory oversight with antitrust merger review (Philip J. Weiser); market power in U.S. and EU electricity generation (Richard Gilbert and David Newbery); and mobile call termination--a tale of two-sided markets (Tommaso Valletti).

Abstract This article explores experiences, reflections, and perspectives of actual or perceived linguistic discrimination as experienced by four Latina/o and one White foreign-born professors currently working in research universities across the United States. Building on the literature on linguistic discrimination and the theoretical framing of LangCrit, the authors exemplify instances of linguistic discrimination resulting from a member of the majority culture asserting their native speaker power over the foreign-born speaker with an accent. Through examining the participants’ accents, the authors expose the paradoxical simultaneous positions the participants occupy as oppressed-privileged beings. In the discussion and implications, the authors address raising consciousness around linguistic discrimination in an effort to transform the educational landscape and opportunities for historically marginalized communities.

Using Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) data, this paper calculated institutional self citations rates (ISCRs) for 96 of the top research universities in the United States from 2005-2007. Exhibiting similar temporal patterns of author and journal self-citations, the ISCR was 29% in the first year post-publication, and decreased significantly in the second year post-publication (19%). Modeling the data via power laws revealed total publications and citations did not correlate withthe ISCR, but did correlate highly with ISCs. California Institute of Technology exhibited the highest ISCR at 31%. Academic and cultural factors are discussed in relation to ISCRs.

National Growth

Despite rising interest in income inequality, scholars remain divided over the mechanisms underlying inclusive income growth and how these mechanisms vary across countries. This study introduces the concept of national growth profiles, that is, the additive contribution of changes in taxes, transfers, composition, and other factors including market institutions to changes across a country’s income distribution. We present a decomposition framework to measure national growth profiles for eight high-income countries from the 1980s to 2010s. Our findings adjudicate competing sociological and economic perspectives on rising inequality. First, we find that policy-driven changes in taxes and transfers are the dominant drivers of inclusive growth at the tails of the income distributions. Second, rising educational attainment contributes most to income growth across the distribution, but consistently contributes to less-inclusive growth. When changes in education are considered, changes in assortative mating and single parenthood have little consequence for changes in inequality. Third, changes to other factors including market institutions increased inequality in countries such as the United States, but less so in France and Germany. Had the United States matched the changes to Dutch tax policy, Danish transfer policy, or other factors of most other countries, it could have achieved more inclusive income growth than observed.
