Abstract

The relation between structural reform and macroeconomic policy underlies the widespread perception that the large European economies have under-performed in the past decade in comparison both with their own standards and with the contemporaneous performance of the United States. This book, edited and introduced by Noel Laureate Robert M. Solow, provides analyses of how these economies could take a co-ordinated and simultaneous approach to reform in labour and product markets and the demand side.

Abstract

Law and Employment analyzes the effects of regulation and deregulation on Latin American labor markets and presents empirically grounded studies of the costs of regulation. Numerous labor regulations that were introduced or reformed in Latin America in the past thirty years have had important economic consequences. Nobel Prize-winning economist James J. Heckman and Carmen Pagés document the behavior of firms attempting to stay in business and be competitive while facing the high costs of complying with these labor laws. They challenge the prevailing view that labor market regulations affect only the distribution of labor incomes and have little or no impact on efficiency or the performance of labor markets. Using new micro-evidence, this volume shows that labor regulations reduce labor market turnover rates and flexibility, promote inequality, and discriminate against marginal workers. Along with in-depth studies of Colombia, Peru, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Jamaica, and Trinidad, Law and Employment provides comparative analysis of Latin American economies against a range of European countries and the United States. The book breaks new ground by quantifying not only the cost of regulation in Latin America, the Caribbean, and in the OECD, but also the broader impact of this regulation.

Abstract

Bulgaria’s request for a 25-month precautionary Stand-By Arrangement (SBA) in an amount of SDR 100 million or 15.62 percent of quota is discussed. The SBA-supported program seeks to reduce increased external vulnerability and to achieve sustainable high growth through a tighter fiscal policy and measures to drain bank liquidity to reduce excess demand in the short term and structural reforms to boost output and export capacity in the medium term.

Abstract

Dit boek geeft een gedetailleerde beschrijving van de temporele organisatie van het werk in Vlaanderen en hoe deze evolueerde, op basis van een tijdsbudget bij de Vlaamse bevolking. Hoeveel uren werken bij? Wie werkt er 'van negen tot vijf'? Hoeveel Vlamingen werken 's avonds, 's nachts en in het weekend? Wie geniet veel tijdsoevereiniteit? Hoe organiseren deeltijdsen hun arbeid? De vergelijking van de gegevens van 1988 en 1999 maakt het mogelijk een aantal evoluties te bekijken. Werken we nu langer of korter dan vroeger? Zijn de arbeidstijden nu echt flexibeler en minder voorspelbaar? Er is ook bijzondere aandacht voor de verschillende arbeidsmarktsituatie van mannen en vrouwen en de problematiek van de combinatie arbeid en gezin. Het boek besluit met een aantal pertinente beleidsconclusies.

Abstract

From Widgits to Digits is about the changing nature of the employment relationship and its implications for labor and employment law. For most of the twentieth century, employers fostered long-term employment relationships through the use of implicit promises of job security, well-defined hierarchical job ladders, and longevity-based wage and benefit schemes. Today's employers no longer value longevity or seek to encourage long-term attachment between the employee and the firm. Instead employers seek flexibility in their employment relationships. As a result, employees now operate as free agents in a boundaryless workplace, in which they move across departmental lines within firms, and across firm borders, throughout their working lives. Today's challenge is to find a means to provide workers with continuity in wages, on-going training opportunities, sustainable and transferable skills, unambiguous ownership of their human capital, portable benefits, and an infrastructure of support structures to enable them to weather career transitions.
