Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2001. Drawing on the fields of labour economics and industrial relations, this book simultaneously applies human capital theory and institutional analysis to an explanation of occupational and other wage differentials. This outstanding study contains a wealth of reference material on both the economic and normative determinants of wages. Destined to become a landmark study in the area of Australian wage determination, the book is an essential text for labour economists, industrial relations specialists, researchers and policy makers alike.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This article uses data from 3500 Australian workers to investigate which factors have had a significant influence on microeconomic wage growth over the years 1997 to 2000. The relative importance of four types of factors, outside incomes, demand for labour, workers' relative bargaining strength and category of wage contract, are compared. Basic individual demographic characteristics and some indicators of workers' bargaining power provided most of the explanation for wage changes. Proxy variables for labour demand, while significant and correctly signed, were small in magnitude.

Book excerpt: In the Australian labour market, men earn higher wages than women and this difference is persistent. The purpose of this thesis is to examine the gender wage gap and its determinants over time, to measure the gap using different methods compared to prior Australian research, and to measure the gap by sector of employment. The gender wage gap is estimated using the real hourly wages (in 2012 dollars) of men and women in the Australian labour market. The thesis begins with a review of Australian and international studies that have measured the gender wage gap and of possible explanations for its existence. The literature review provides a survey of the empirical methods that have been used to measure the gender wage gap and of empirical issues that arise when measuring the gap. Further, the literature review provides a discussion of labour supply and demand side factors that could influence the gap. The analysis in this thesis begins by measuring and comparing the male and female mean and distributional labour market characteristics and the returns to characteristics in 2001 and 2012. The results show that women's labour market characteristics have improved compared to men's characteristics; however, women's relative returns to characteristics have not increased. Next, the gender wage gap is estimated at the mean and along the wage distribution, decomposed, and compared over time. The results show that the mean and distributional gender wage gap has increased over time and the gap is increasingly unexplained by differences in labour market characteristics. The comparison over time extends prior static estimates of the gender wage gap. The gender wage gap is then estimated using panel data and fixed effects methods to account for time-invariant unobserved individual heterogeneity. This is the first time that the Australian gender wage gap has been measured by taking into account individual fixed effects. The fixed effects results are compared with the results of traditional estimation methods and prior research. The comparison shows that time-invariant unobserved individual heterogeneity constitutes 62 per cent of the gender wage gap and that the Australian gender wage gap has previously been overestimated by approximately 7 percentage points. The inclusion of time-invariant unobserved individual heterogeneity in the estimation provides a clearer measure of gender based earnings differentials. The gender wage gap is measured by sector of employment - the Australian private and public sector - using panel data and time-invariant individual fixed effects methods. The results are compared with findings from traditional methods and prior research. This is the first time that the Australian sector-specific gender wage gap has been estimated by incorporating time-invariant unobserved individual heterogeneity. The results show that traditional estimation methods overestimate the gender wage gap by 6 percentage points in the private sector and 4 percentage points in the public sector. Time-invariant unobserved individual heterogeneity explains 42 per cent of the gender wage gap in the private sector and 41 per cent of the gender wage gap in the public sector. Further, the distributional sector-specific gender wage gap is larger and increases faster in the private sector compared to the public sector. The sector-specific gender wage gap is increasingly unexplained by differences in labour market characteristics along the wage distribution. To the knowledge of the author, this is the first time that very detailed estimates of the Australian gender wage gap have been compared over time. This is also the first time that the Australian gender wage gap has been measured by taking into account time-invariant individual fixed effects. The results highlight that the gender wage gap has increased over time and that unobserved individual heterogeneity need to be incorporated in the estimation of the Australian gender wage gap as traditional estimation methods tend to overestimate the gap.

Book excerpt: This study investigates causes of the recent experience of employment and output growth, whereby employment growth has recently converged with output growth after previously diverging. This is contrary to usual patterns of labour usage and the resulting usual lagged relationship between employment and output growth. The study seeks to ascertain whether changes in the price of labour or changes in output have caused the observed different characteristics of employment and output growth in recent periods. Elasticities of labour demand with respect to both output and wages are calculated at the aggregate and individual industry level for a selection of industries for which suitable data are available. The elasticities are examined to determine the relative contributions of output and wages changes in explaining the unusually long observed lag between GDP and employment growth. Results are largely consistent with previous studies. The partial elasticities differ between industries during the time period studied and it is possible to reject the hypothesis that the elasticity of labour demand with respect to real wages is unity for all industries. The most significant factor underlying the apparent convergence between growth of employment and output toward the end of the period was a reduction in average real wages growth, although structural changes did contribute. Error correction models indicate that the rate of adjustment between the short-run and the long-run varies between industries, with adjustment for most industries occurring within one year.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Erudite and topical, this well balanced treatment, with essays from world renowned contributors including the former President of Ireland – Mary Robinson, Jagdish Bhagwati and Nobel prize winner Joseph Stiglitz, considers the forces that propel globalization and those that resist it. Local and regional experiences from Bangladesh, China, India, Latin America and the Middle East are analyzed along with some of globalization’s most potent risks. Giving voice to sophisticated and illustrative reasoning, The Future of Globalization offers useful insights into the extraordinary human achievement brought about by increasing international economic integration, interdependence and interconnectedness, and shows how this has been a powerful force for the progress of humankind. The contributors take stock of the debate on globalization and explore ways to make globalization more beneficial for individuals, communities and countries, as well as ways to reduce its insufficiencies and mitigate the risks it faces. This book will benefit all students of economics, political science and international relations, among others, and is useful to courses that focus on globalization and its impacts.
