Book excerpt: In The Minimum Wage and Labor Market Outcomes, Christopher Flinn argues that inassessing the effects of the minimum wage (in the United States and elsewhere), a behavioralframework is invaluable for guiding empirical work and the interpretation of results. Flinn developsa job search and wage bargaining model that is capable of generating labor market outcomesconsistent with observed wage and unemployment duration distributions, and also can account forobserved changes in employment rates and wages after a minimum wage change. Flinn uses previousstudies from the minimum wage literature to demonstrate how his model can be used to rationalize andsynthesize the diverse results found in widely varying institutional contexts. He also shows howobserved wage distributions from before and after a minimum wage change can be used to determine ifthe change was welfare-improving. More ambitiously, and perhaps controversially, Flinn proposes theconstruction and formal estimation of the model using commonly available data; model estimates thenenable the researcher to determine directly the welfare effects of observed minimum wage changes.This model can be used to conduct counterfactual policy experiments--even to determine"optimal" minimum wages under a variety of welfare metrics. The development of the modeland the econometric theory underlying its estimation are carefully presented so as to enable readersunfamiliar with the econometrics of point process models and dynamic optimization in continuous timeto follow the arguments. Although most of the book focuses on the case where only the unemployedsearch for jobs in a homogeneous labor market environment, later chapters introduce on-the-jobsearch into the model, and explore its implications for minimum wage policy. The book also containsa chapter describing how individual heterogeneity can be introduced into the search, matching, andbargaining framework.

Download or read book Learning Strategies written by Harold F. O'Neil and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2014-05-10 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learning Strategies describes a program of research in learning strategies initiated by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in 1976. The goal of the program is to improve learning, decrease training time, and reduce training costs by developing and evaluating instructional materials designed to teach basic intellectual and affective skills. This book records the program's progress and suggests further avenues for research. Comprised of eight chapters, this book begins with an overview of the theoretical underpinnings of the teaching and learning approaches to the improvement of education, followed by a discussion on DARPA's preliminary work on an empirically based learning-strategy training program as well as its efforts to expand and modify the program. In order to provide an intellectual foundation for this program, several fields are surveyed for potential learning strategies, namely, cognitive psychology, artificial intelligence, behavioral modification, and motor learning. An instructional systems development approach for learning strategies is also proposed. The final chapter deals with models of evaluation extant in education and training and discusses the specific application of transactional evaluation to the DARPA Learning Strategies Research Program. This monograph should be of interest to students, teachers, and educational psychologists.

It shows the way for a new level of sophistication in the ways learning and work are treated. And it opens new territory for exploration in the world of learning throughout life. David Boud, University of Technology, Sydney Stephen Billett provides a comprehensive and practical model, well-grounded in theory and research, to guide learning in the workplace. This is a 'must read' for those in vocational education and training. Victoria Marsick, Columbia University Learning does not stop when you leave school or tertiary studies, but continues throughout life. The workplace is now seen as an important learning environment, and businesses and government units are encouraged to become 'learning organisations'. This is all very well in theory, but how does learning actually occur in the workplace? Drawing on research of a wide variety of workplaces in different countries, Stephen Billett analyses the strengths and limitations of 'on-the-job' learning. He outlines what knowledge individuals need and how they can best acquire this knowledge in workplace settings. He shows how to develop a workplace curriculum, and how it can be implemented in organisations of different sizes. Learning in the Workplace offers a comprehensive pedagogy for the workplace. It is a valuable reference for human resource practitioners and students in courses on professional development and adult and vocational learning.
