Using data from China College Student Survey, we find that unfair match tends to increase the total wage offer. The implication is that student ability and school quality are substitutes rather than complements, at least among unfairly matched students. We also find evidence that unfair match leads to higher total human capital investment on English skill, leadership, and double major, but not on high GPA. We interpret this finding as unfair match, by increasing the ability inequality within a college, encourages diversified human capital investment instead of monotonic competition, which indicates possible channels of efficiency improvement.","PeriodicalId":191636,"journal":{"name":"ERN: Other Development Economics: Microeconomic Issues in Developing Economies (Topic)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117217064","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The sample was selected using simple random sampling with a sample size of 9 Jordanian pharmaceutical companies from population consisting of 24 companies at the end of 2015. A total of 50 questionnaires were distributed to quality and production managers in sample study; out of 50 questionnaires, only 40 were fit for analysis, one sample t-test was used to test the hypotheses of the study. The most important results of study were: awareness among the responses of study members about the importance of the elements of four dimensions of quality costs. The most deficiencies in the prevention cost elements related to failure of existing quality reference manual to match production specifications on continuous basis. And the most deficiencies in the appraisal cost elements involved in developing agreed standards for classifying products into good and defective or damaged according to the level of their quality. And showed the deficiencies in internal failure cost elements involved in estimating lost time costs on the rehabilitation products. And deficiencies in the external failure cost elements related to estimating costs of losing customers and decrease in market share because of customers’ dissatisfaction of product quality. Finally, the study recommended Jordanian pharmaceutical manufacturing management increased their attention to quality system planning costs on continuous and permanent basis.","PeriodicalId":191636,"journal":{"name":"ERN: Other Development Economics: Microeconomic Issues in Developing Economies (Topic)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123838863","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To shed light on an unresolved debate on quantifying the roles of capital and labor, we compare the “ex-ante” and “ex-post” approaches to the estimation of returns to capital and labor, and find the former performs better than the latter in the context of the agricultural production account. We also demonstrate how the measurement of agricultural productivity may be improved by accounting for heterogeneity in output and input quality. Finally, our estimates are distinct from existing statistics in both the time length and industry coverage and provide new information about the long-term trend of agriculture productivity in Australia.","PeriodicalId":191636,"journal":{"name":"ERN: Other Development Economics: Microeconomic Issues in Developing Economies (Topic)","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126509785","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We find that rising imports reduced wages in local Brazilian labor markets, but that this wage reduction was entirely borne by male workers (thus reducing the gender wage gap). Using Oaxaca-Blinder decompositions, we find that this reduction in the wage gap was largely explained by differences in the occupational employment of female and male workers, with trade increasing the female share of workers in higher-paying occupations and increasing the (relative) returns to primarily-female occupations.","PeriodicalId":191636,"journal":{"name":"ERN: Other Development Economics: Microeconomic Issues in Developing Economies (Topic)","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134287597","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since the immediate impact would be felt by OBCs who were eligible to go to college at the time of the implementation, we compare the differences in participation in HE by the younger (18-23 years) and the older (24-29 years) age groups within eligible OBCs, with similar differences in the general caste population. The same double difference is also compared across states with different histories of affirmative action to ascertain if there are regional variations in the impact of the policy, with the expectation that the impact would be higher in regions with no history of affirmative action. Our results from the Difference in Difference (DD) estimates based on National Sample Survey data for 2011-12 do not show a positive impact of the policy on the participation of OBCs. In fact, the impact seems to be negative in all regions, though statistically insignificant, except the East which lacks the long history of affirmative action. A comparison of the East without a long history of affirmative action with the South having a long history of such policy, using triple difference method, produces positive treatment effects, but the estimate loses statistical significance once we control for observable covariates. Our results suggest that the generalized nation-wide policy of this kind may not be relevant for issues which are more regional in nature.

Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana (PMSBY) and Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana (PMJJBY) with the objectives to cover the vast uninsured population. Under the schemes, the insured get term insurance coverage up to INR 0.2 million subject to certain terms and conditions by paying an annual premium of merely INR 12 and INR 330 respectively, the least among all the existing insurance policies available in the country. The present study seeks to report the motivating factors of the sample respondents of Dharmanagar, a town of the north-eastern Indian state of Tripura, for taking term insurance under PMSBY and PMJJBY. A model has been formed and the data reduction test has been carried out through Factor analysis. Using crosssectional research design and based on the outcome of a pilot study, a survey with 50 questions has been used to collect data from a randomly chosen sample of 125 respondents. The result of the Independent Sample t-test has indicated that gender is a significant influencing factor in purchasing insurance plans. Additionally, the findings of Cross Tabulations have validated that nongender demographics also have a significant influence in taking insurance coverage. The outcome of Multiple Regressions has documented that financial literacy and uncertainties have a significant influence in purchasing the plans. An analysis of the relevance of each policy has been drawn and it acknowledges a few shortcomings like study period, study area, small sample size, selective hypotheses and variables, self-administered interview schedule rather than adoption or adaptation and power of statistical tools; it has also indicated the roadmap for future research.","PeriodicalId":191636,"journal":{"name":"ERN: Other Development Economics: Microeconomic Issues in Developing Economies (Topic)","volume":"791 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123282775","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
