The minimum wage establishment has its origin in the first third of the last century. Since its creation has been a focus of continuing controversy and an unfinished debate on economics field. This work reviews the effects of the minimum wage on employment and other macroeconomic variables, from both theoretical and empirical perspectives. The method is based on the revision of the literature and the main economic indicators. The central contribution of this paper is providing a general reflection on theoretical and empirical analysis about the debate on minimum wage and its effects. The results showed that some labor policies are taking account the effects of austerity strategies, shifting the attention towards the implementation of minimum wages or their updating, in order to reduce the growing inequalities in the distribution of income, and even poverty levels.

<p>The scope of this study is broader than that of most others on industrial conflict and encompasses individual and employer-initiated forms of conflict as well as stoppages. Industrial conflict is a complex concept and there is consequently a need for an explicit ordering of ideas. Our theoretical discussion in Part 1 is aimed at providing a general framework for later empirical analysis. It begins with a conceptualization of industrial conflict which embraces many causes, settings, parties and forms. The more important of these forms are outlined before factors influencing the distribution of industrial conflict are surveyed. It ends with an investigation of the ways in which the economic effects of such conflict may be observed and to some extent measured. Three industries, meat freezing, building and construction, and waterfront, account for a disproportionate amount of industrial conflict in New Zealand and it is on these that the empirical analysis of this thesis centres. In order to understand the context of conflict in these industries, their economic, technical and organisational environments are outlined in Part 2. Part 3 contains the empirical investigation itself, beginning with the place of these three industries in the national perspective and then dealing with the industries in turn. In each case, both official statistics and material obtained by interviews and questionnaires are used to analyze conflict in detail and to evaluate possible factors shaping it. No simple conflict patterns are found. These industries are, for example, stoppage prone but all contain several units which are virtually stoppage free. But in each industry certain fundamental features are found to be influential in shaping the patterns. Of prime importance is the technology, although economic features, such as the nature of worker remuneration, ownership patterns and the level of throughput, are also important. These conclusions are summarised in Part 4 where it is noted that, while the three industries have features predisposing them toward conflict, our understanding of and command over these features can be improved.</p>

This paper examines the economic effects of changes in technology on gaming revenue in Nevada between 1984 and 2015. Slots outperformed table games in terms or revenue growth during that time-period. The paper provides evidence that those performance gains are attributable both to increased capacity and increased efficiency. Gains attributable to increased capacity, measured by units-in-service, are indicative of successful industry efforts to tap new market segments. Gains attributable to increased efficiency, measured by revenue-per-unit, are indicative of successful industry efforts to expedite gaming productivity. Additional analysis shows that most of the growth in slot revenue occurred prior to 2002, and was primarily attributable to increased capacity. Between 2002 and 2007, revenue growth was more modest, with most of the gains attributed to improved efficiency. Finally, beginning in 2008, slots began to reflect the effects of the Great Recession, surrendering a significant portion of their revenue gains, with decreases in both capacity and efficiency. These results should be of interest to policy makers and others interested in the determinants of gaming revenue.

The transport business is governed by system of international rules and regulations, which control the behavior between the different economic agents in the supply chain. For the airfreight industry main standard is the Montreal Convention, for the road transport it is the CMR document, and for ocean freight, such role has the rules from Hague-Visby. The report will analyze their interpretations on the COVID-19 pandemic and their economic effects on the transport industry as a whole.
