Mirakhor, Hazik Mohamed","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.3564843","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3564843","url":null,"abstract":"There is a strong belief formed in scholarly and policy circles that contemporary capitalism is the source of many economic, social and political problems that plague the world today. This system is blamed for large inequalities between the rich and the poor, unrestrained profit-seeking without moral, ethical and social considerations, venal accumulation of income and wealth, and environmental destruction. The argument that capitalism drives innovation and attracts investment is now weakend substantially by these systemic global problems that pose existential threat to human societies. It is clear that the world cannot continue on the current trajectory and needs to harness other forms of managing its resources to create a balance between, self-love, profit motive, ambition on the one hand, and moral, ethical, social responsibility and environmental accountability, on the other. “Islamic economics” has been suggested as providing a basis for one such alternative system. However, it is argued here that the present paradigm of “Islamic economics” needs to change its orientation away from its current “Islamization of knowledge” methodology toward a paradigm more attuned to the Qur’an’s vision of society and its economy in order to provide a viable and sustainable set of solutions to human problems. A move in this direction requires consideration of elements of this vision that have not been been explored thus far in presentations of the discipline of “Islamic economics”. <br><br>This note is an exploratory consideration of one such fundamental elements derived from the Qur’an: the idea of spiritual capital — as the organizing element of effective and efficient utilization of social, human and financial capital — as a step toward initiating a paradigm shift in investigating the Qur’an’s vision of how societies should manage their resources.","PeriodicalId":448175,"journal":{"name":"Comparative Political Economy: Comparative Capitalism eJournal","volume":"97 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123524193","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}

Widening wage and productivity gaps between firms may have contributed to both developments. This paper uses a new harmonised cross-country linked employer-employee dataset for 14 OECD countries to analyse the role of firms in wage inequality. The main finding is that, on average across countries, changes in the dispersion of average wages between firms explain about half of the changes in overall wage inequality. Two thirds of these changes in between-firm wage inequality are accounted for by changes in productivity-related premia that firms pay their workers above common market wages. The remaining third can be attributed to changes in workforce composition, including the sorting of high-skilled workers into high-paying firms. Over all, these results suggest that firms play an important role in explaining wage inequality as wages are driven to a significant extent by firm performance rather than being exclusively determined by workers' earnings characteristics.","PeriodicalId":448175,"journal":{"name":"Comparative Political Economy: Comparative Capitalism eJournal","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134580230","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}

Our welfare measure accounts for cross-state variations in mortality, consumption, education, leisure, and inequality. We find that average living standards differ considerably across states. This is robust to allowing for endogenous interstate migration and to including housing in the model, and holds even when computing welfare conditional on education, gender, and race. Although states experienced heterogeneous welfare growth rates between 1999 and 2015 (ranging from 1.68 to 3.73 percent per year), there is no evidence of convergence in welfare levels, including during the sub-periods preceding and following the Great Recession. Whereas the level of real per-capita income is a good indicator of the level of welfare across states (correlation=0.75), the growth rate of real per-capita income is a poor proxy for the growth rate in welfare (correlation=0.42). Our welfare decomposition analysis can help identify what policies are likely to be most effective at increasing average living standards in the United States.","PeriodicalId":448175,"journal":{"name":"Comparative Political Economy: Comparative Capitalism eJournal","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125430434","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}

Income shares of the bottom three income quintiles are procyclical, while those of the next 35 percent are countercyclical. However, the income share of the very top five percent income group is acyclical over the business cycle. This study attempts to explain the cyclical behavior of the income distribution over the business cycle, particularly focusing on the top five percent income earnersâ€™ share, using a heterogeneous agent model featuring a choice to become an entrepreneur. The model economy successfully reproduces the acyclical behavior of the income share of the top five percent income earners as well as the overall cyclicality of income shares of the income groups. In an economic expansion, relatively more people in the low income groups newly begin employment as workers, which raises the income shares of the bottom three quintiles and lowers the income shares of the top two quintiles, while at the top, relatively more people become entrepreneurs, which offsets the decline in the income share of the high-income earners from the workersâ€™ side.","PeriodicalId":448175,"journal":{"name":"Comparative Political Economy: Comparative Capitalism eJournal","volume":"294 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132648030","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}

{"title":"Evolution in Quality Thinking: A Revisit","authors":"U. Raju, Dr Pratap Reddy Sunkepally","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.3549127","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3549127","url":null,"abstract":"Quality thinking has been there as a human endeavor ever since humans started thinking of ways and means of satisfying their (primordial) needs. The search for better things and better ways of accomplishing tasks has always been on their agenda and probably this ‘quality thinking’ propelled human civilization to progress. The authors attempt to trace this evolutionary history of quality thinking to unravel the layers underlying this phenomenon. In the area of managerial thinking, the thinking domain spans over profit thinking, product thinking, process thinking, employee thinking, and customer thinking. Within the spatial thinking process itself, the spread is across inside thinking, inside-out thinking, outside thinking, outside-in thinking, standards thinking, and best-practices thinking. Over the dimension of enterprise value chain, the thinking process spans across input thinking, output thinking, output-input thinking, outcome thinking, and input-output-outcome thinking. The thinking process meanders over scale thinking, scope thinking, pace thinking, and lean thinking in respect of enterprise parameter thinking. An understanding of the aforementioned typology of quality thinking enables us to delve deep into diverse aspects of quality thinking. It is the inexorable integration of the four-way quality thinking that would catapult an organization up on the ladder of world-class quality thinking. The paper addresses these core concerns in quality thinking, and qualitatively charts and captures enterprises on quality thinking map.","PeriodicalId":448175,"journal":{"name":"Comparative Political Economy: Comparative Capitalism eJournal","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124217517","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}
