The paper puts forth a notion and derives a special type of production function where labour is an indivisible factor and is in the integer space. Thus, Newtonian calculus is not an appropriate method of deriving the marginal value because limit point does not exist. This shows that indivisibility determines the output elasticity. In the first part, the paper propounds a notion regarding how indivisibility determines curvature of the production function. In the second part, the paper incorporates the findings within a production function and derives a new type accordingly. Moreover, it formally derives the standard wage equation considering all the entitlements of labour, namely (a) normal wages, (b) interest and (c) rent of ability. So far, no such mathematical proof is there to support this wage composition. This paper, for the first time, derives this wage equation considering indivisibility of labour.

New statistical measures were published in a report by Statistics New Zealand on 24 October 2006 from the Linked Employer-Employee Data Set (LEED). LEED uses longitudinal information from existing taxation and Statistics NZ Sources to provides a range of information on the dynamics of the New Zealand labour market. New statistics have been produced for the first time on income transitions, job tenure, multiple job holding and the self-employed. The use of administrative data allows Statistics New Zealand to produce new statistics at level of regional and industry detail not available from existing sources. Detailed statistics from the 2000 to 2005 tax years are available on the Statistics New Zealand web-site. The statistics are mostly person-level statistics for the period to the end of the 2005 tax year. This paper provides highlight from this report, covering three areas: earnings transitions, multiple job holding as well as new information on self-employment. LEED can produce these outputs across time and three other dimensions, age, sex and regional council area. Not all of this information is provided in the annual release, but is available, free of change, on Statistics New Zealand’s web based Table Builder product.

Zusammenfassung In Deutschland beeinflussen regionale Disparitäten besonders auch zwischen Ost- und Westdeutschland individuelle Lebens- und Einkommenschancen. Individuen können versuchen, ihre Arbeitsbedingungen – etwa ihr Einkommen – durch räumliche Mobilität zu verbessern. Der vorliegende Beitrag untersucht Mobilität zwischen Ost-, Nord- und Süddeutschland und damit einhergehende Einkommensveränderungen. Basis ist ein Linked Employer-Employee Datensatz, der um regionale Strukturindikatoren ergänzt wurde. Die Ergebnisse zeigen: Jüngere und Hochqualifizierte wechseln häufiger und realisieren bei Betriebswechseln mit höherer Wahrscheinlichkeit Einkommenszuwächse. Anreize für Ost-Westmobilität bestehen fort, da bei Wechseln aus Ostdeutschland in Richtung Nord- oder Süddeutschland preisniveaubereinigt die Wahrscheinlichkeit von Einkommenszuwächsen höher ist als bei Wechseln innerhalb Ostdeutschlands. Wechsel nach Ostdeutschland können mit Einkommensverlusten, aber auch Einkommenszuwächsen einhergehen. Abstract: Workplace-mobility Between East, North and South Germany. Success Factors of Income Increases In Germany, regional disparities especially between East and West Germany influence individual life and income opportunities. Individuals can try to improve their working conditions – for example their income – through spatial mobility. The present article examines job moves between East, North, and South Germany and the related income perspectives. The data basis is a Linked Employer-Employee data set which has been supplemented with regional structural indicators. The results of the analyses show: Younger and highly qualified employees change more frequently and are more likely to increase their income when they change companies. Incentives for East-West mobility persist, because for trajectories from East to North or South Germany, adjusted for regional price level, a comparatively higher probability of income success can be determined. Transitions to East Germany can be associated with a loss of income but also a gain of income.

Employee Data

The Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) Uniform Crime Reports (UCR) Police Employee data, collected from U.S. police agencies annually since 1930, provide information on various aspects of police organizations (such as the number of employees and assaults on officers). Such data, spanning 72 years, offer researchers a potentially rich data set. This article provides a brief history of the Police Employee data, describes the various data elements, and tentatively addresses the validity and reliability of these data. Finally, suggested improvements (as well as possible uses) for these data are offered.

<p>The use of person-specific data for economists across all types of public academic institutions provides several insights into the academic wage equation for economists.   First, this study confirms the alignment of the academic incentive structure with the underlying value of scholarship in an academic institution, i.e. scholarship pays off.  Interestingly, though, the richness of this data set allows for a better understanding of that payoff.  For while economists at doctoral granting institutions earn more on average than their counterparts at non-doctoral granting institutions, the marginal benefit for additional publications is higher for those economists at non-doctoral granting institutions.</p><p>Most importantly, the study validates the recent findings of Binder et al. (2012) that the incentive structure at academic institutions imposes a teaching tax.  Whether at doctoral or non-doctoral granting institutions, the marginal cost of teaching undergraduates is significant although there is a positive return to award-winning teaching.  Thus, despite the inherent educational mission of the Academy, this study supports the ironic conclusion teaching imposes a tax on the academic economist.  </p>

The Empirical Analysis

The objective of this paper is to study, following a primal approach, the technical efficiency of a sample of boats which catch hake in Asturias. In this activity the catches of species different from hake are important. The multiproduct nature of this activity raises different modelling alternatives. In this paper we compare the results obtained in the estimation of an aggregate production function, a multiproduct production function, and a distance function. The three models are estimated using the within-groups estimator. After eliminating the influence of time invariant variables, the efficiency indexes are calculated in a second stage using the individual fixed effects. The empirical analysis uses a panel data set of eleven boats in 1999.
