A new method of estimating the economic value of life is proposed. Using cross-country data, an equation is estimated to explain life expectancy as a function of real consumption of goods and...
True Measures of GDP and Convergence.
Widely used 'purchasing power parity' comparisons of per capital GDP are not true quantity indexes and are subject to systematic substitution bias. This bias may distort measurement of convergence...
Dowrick, Steve, Gemmell, Norman
Various hypotheses are examined seeking to explain inter-country convergence at the upper end, but divergence at the lower end, of the world income rankings. A model of disequilibrium growth with...
Wage Pressure, Bargaining and Price-Cost Margins in UK Manufacturing.
To the extent that union-employer bargaining is efficient, price-cost margins in oligopolistic industries are predicted to depend on wage rents and on the elasticity of substitution between wages and...

Why employees Prefer not to Bargain over Jobs
In general we expect efficient bargaining between a union and an employer to cover employment as well as wages. But employers may find that they win higher profits if they bargain over wages alone,...
