Alcohol Consumption, Deterrence and Crime in New York City
Journal of Labor Research - Tập 36 - Trang 103-128 - 2015
This paper investigates the relationship between alcohol consumption, deterrence, and crime for New York City. We use monthly time-series data from 1983 to 2001 to analyze the impacts of variations in both alcohol consumption and deterrence on seven “index” crimes. We tackle the endogeneity of arrests and the police force by exploiting the temporal independence of crime and deterrence in these hig......
The Effects of Vesting and Locking in Pension Assets on Participation in Employer-Sponsored Pension Plans
Journal of Labor Research - Tập 39 - Trang 178-200 - 2018
This study assesses whether pension vesting and lock-in regulations affect participation in employer-sponsored pension plans.

The effect of type of union on member-nonmember wage differentials
Journal of Labor Research - Tập 8 - Trang 59-65 - 1987
The union-nonunion wage differential can be decomposed into bargaining and membership effects. While some analysts suggest that they are not separable and that bargaining power is a function of membership density, others argue that they are separable and that the former derives from monopoly power while the latter stems from socialization. Our results support the latter view. We derive estimates o......

Labor unions: Victims of their political success?
Journal of Labor Research - Tập 22 - Trang 261-273 - 2001
A glimpse of the future of private sector unions may be gleaned from examining the past. Union densities have declined for nearly half a century, and structural and demographic changes, global competition, and various other factors have caused much of this decline. However, as recognized by early union leaders, legislative successes that diminish the role of collective bargaining naturally contrib......
