Empirical work has concentrated on the wage effects of part-time work for women. For men, much less empirical evidence exists, mainly because of lacking data. In this paper, we take advantage of access to unique harmonised matched employer-employee data (i.e. the 1995 European Structure of Earnings Survey) to investigate the magnitude and sources of the part-time wage penalty for male workers in six European countries (i.e. Belgium, Denmark, Ireland, Italy, Spain, and the UK). Findings show that the raw gap in hourly gross pay amounts to 16 per cent of male part-timer’s wage in Spain, to 24 per cent in Belgium, to 28 per cent in Denmark and Italy, to 67 per cent in the UK and to 149 per cent in Ireland. Human capital differences explain between 31 per cent of the observed wage gap in the UK and 71 per cent in Denmark. When a larger set of control variables is taken into account (including occupation, industry, firm size, and level of wage bargaining), a much smaller part of the gap remains unexplained by differences in observed characteristics (except in Italy). Overall, results suggest that policy initiatives to promote lifelong learning and training are of great importance to help part-timers catch up. Moreover, except for Italy, they point to a persisting problem of occupational and sectoral segregation between men working part-time and full-time which requires renewed policy attention.","PeriodicalId":367470,"journal":{"name":"Political Economy (Topic)","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134530565","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}

Cappiello","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.949896","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.949896","url":null,"abstract":"The recent wake of financial scandals has prompted also in Italy a heated debate on how to regulate conflicts of interest emerging when banks simultaneously carry out commercial banking, on the one hand, and investment banking, on the other. Following this debate the article focuses its attention on US legal instruments that prevent and sanction abuses from conflicts of interests. Hence, it illustrates the guidelines of the US supervision system after the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (Paragraph 2) and the essential and most debated features of the US class action (Paragraph 3). The analysis carried out is the basis for a number of final remarks on the Italian initiatives concerning: (a) rules establishing organizational constraints in order to prevent conflicts of interest in universal banks; (b) proposed procedural rules which, aggregating lawsuits, aim at facilitating investors' access to justice. The evolution of the US regulatory framework about conflicts of interest in universal banks provides two useful indications. First, with regard to protection of investors through supervision over financial conglomerates, it suggests that in order to have efficient and competitive intermediaries it seems more appropriate to adopt a flexible approach, holding financial intermediaries responsible for the selection and implementation of the governance system that they deem more adequate to their specific structure. Second, with regard to protection of investors through an easy access to judicial redress, the US experience suggests to focus our attention on legal and market instruments that can help mitigate the risk that the collective action become an opportunity for the extraction of \"private benefits\" of various agents involved in the representation of investors' interests.","PeriodicalId":367470,"journal":{"name":"Political Economy (Topic)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129723254","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}

McKoy","doi":"10.2139/SSRN.954709","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/SSRN.954709","url":null,"abstract":"There is a tradition in modern business scholarship to see the corporation as a political actor. S.P. Waring argues that the modern business corporation is a polity, Herbert Kaufman views political theorists and management theorists as merely \"different species of the same genus,\" while Peter Drucker postulates that even the most private of private enterprises is an organ of society and serves a social function. Such views justify corporations entering into more proactive relationships with organs of the society and with the agencies of governmental agencies regulating the economy. But politics operate within the organization as well. Nowhere are the political battle lines more sharply drawn than in the boardrooms of our modern corporations. Here boardroom politics find expression in the language of corporate governance. The battlefields include questions of executive compensation, conflicts of interest, absence of transparency, ineptitude and corruption. Many boards are inadequate for the tasks with which they are charged. The skirmishes that take place in the boardroom find debilitating replication in the rest of the organization, sometimes with multiplied effect. The capacity of the human resources manager to get the most from the human resources in her organization is seriously compromised by a dysfunctional board. The solution may mean that human resources mangers should now consider among their clients, not just the employees of the organization, but the board as well. To meet the challenges, human resources managers will have to consider training down and also up to the very top of the organizational hierarchy.","PeriodicalId":367470,"journal":{"name":"Political Economy (Topic)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131577854","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}
