Don't Forget the Gravy! Are Bonuses Just Added on Top of Salaries?

The press often depicts bonuses as extra payments to the already well compensated and calls for reform. Yet, these calls typically ignore the efficiency argument that bonuses are potentially risky performance pay that substitute for salary compensation. This paper uses representative UK data to estimate that bonuses appear not to substitute for salary in cross‐sectional estimates. Yet, when controlling for time‐invariant characteristics in panel data, bonuses emerge as partial substitutes. Each pound of bonus comes at a cost of 40 pence in other earnings. The degree of substitution is far larger at the bottom of the earnings distribution and far smaller at the top of the earnings distribution where, indeed, bonuses look more like gravy.

Mobile communications – On standards,classifications and generations

The research question addressed in this paper is concerned with the manners in which the general technological progress in mobile communications is characterized and the reasons for the differences in these modes of manifestation. The relevance of this research question is that the different manifestation modes create a degree of confusion in communications and discussions on mobile technologies. At the same time, it should be recognized that different manners of categorizing technologies illustrate the fact that categorizations are based on different purposes of the classification exercises. Also, the paper discusses the role of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) in the processes of mobile standardization.In common parlance, progress in mobile technologies is mostly referred to as generations. In ITU, the classification terminology is that of International Mobile Telecommunication (IMT) standards. In the specialized standards body with a central position in the standardization of core mobile technologies, namely 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project), the terminology of ‘releases’ is used. In order to address the research question, the paper uses an analytical framework based on the differences and relationships between the concepts of standards, classifications and generations.

On Relative Advantage of China‘’‘’s Manufacture Industry

The mechanism of relative cost advantage is still playing a role in the contemporary international division and world trade.China‘‘‘‘s relative advantage is rich labor resource.The high growth of China‘‘‘‘s world trade has benefited from its low labor cost since reform and opening to the outside.As dual economic structure and gap between regions are existed,and at the aame time the supply of labor force is larger than the demand,China‘‘‘‘s relatively low labor cost will continue for a long period of time.However,advantage of low labor cost is comparative and is less obvious in the capital and Hi-tech industries.As many enterprises developed all directions and overstaffed largely offset the advantage of low cost of labor.So improving labor productivity must be paid attention to in market economy.Although low labor cost benefits reducing production cost,it has negative influence,on one hand it leads to flow national welfare in world trade;on the other hand,it both restricts purchasing power of the people with low income and domestic demand.We believe increasing wages of workers in manufacture industry is necessary.     

COMMENTS On: “PROBABILISTIC CONSIDERATIONS IN EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT STUDIES” *

This is a classic study, by the “Old Masters”, of the method-centered approach to management problems. It demonstrates once again the extraordinary power of the linear-programming framework, in dealing with complex business-decision problems. Students of the capital-budgeting process will find it filled with insights, and highly suggestive. It may eventually become the established basis for a revised conception of the interaction between financial planning and the economic analysis of engineering projects.     

On the dual-stacking transition to IPv6: A forlorn hope?

The assumption that IPv6 will inevitably replace IPv4 as the dominant network layer protocol on the Internet is almost universal. A failure of IPv6 to diffuse is thought to have far-reaching and long-lasting economic and social consequences, yet there have been no prior analyses of the dual-stacking transition mechanism by which IPv6 diffusion is expected to be achieved in order to understand whether it is likely to succeed. Guided by economic theory, this paper presents such an analysis, and concludes that the dual-stacking transition strategy is unlikely to work, leaving the Internet with no workable means of achieving migration to IPv6. The paper concludes with a number of recommendations for regulatory and policy bodies, end-user organisations and network operators.     

“On a Level with Dentists?” Reflections on the Evolution of Industrial Organization

Work or Schooling? On the Return to Gaining In‐School Work Experiences

Wages are a composite measure of the return to education and the return to work experiences. Work experiences are often defined as workers who gain experiences on‐the‐job. However, work experiences can also be part of a study curriculum in vocational secondary education. We estimate the return to in‐school work experiences by comparing the Heckman selection model and the Rubin matching model. First, we show that students with in‐school work experiences earn +16% more in the first years of labour than their theoretical peers. Second, we indicate that both empirical models do not appropriately deal with censored observations in the presence of an informal market. Including information on a set of censored observations increases the effect to +22%.     

On the relation between multimarket contact and service quality: Mutual forbearance or network coordination?

Research summary : We reconsider the relationship between multimarket contact and product quality in the airline industry by arguing that multimarket contact has both a negative mutual forbearance effect on quality and a positive network coordination effect on quality. Multimarket contact increases the frequency of contact between firms, and this anticipated future interaction promotes cooperation. In network industries, especially small firms may want to cooperate in order to increase the attractiveness of the composite product. By using size as a moderating variable, we indeed find a consistent positive effect of multimarket contact on product quality for small airlines. We show that this effect can be attributed to network coordination and that this effect generally dominates the negative mutual forbearance effect in a recent period. Managerial summary : Firms with sales in multiple geographical markets likely encounter each other with mutual respect (i.e., live and let live) because aggressive behavior in one market may lead to retaliatory responses in other markets. Such responses weaken competitive pressures on price and quality. Insofar these firms sell complementary products, they may however also coordinate and improve their joint product offering, resulting in better quality for the consumer. This paper shows that this positive effect of cooperation may dominate the negative competition‐reducing effect, depending on the size distribution of firms. The reason is that small or nondominant firms have a stronger incentive to produce compatible products than large or dominant firms with already a strong position in the (global) market.
