The effect of mode 4 liberalization on illegal immigration

This paper aims to assess the impacts of the temporary movement of workers on the illegal immigration. It uses a discrete time, forward-looking model with heterogeneous agents, in order to describe the decision made by illegal migrants from developing countries. Illegal migrants are supposed to accede only to the informal sector and are price takers, as they have no negotiating power. Taking into account these specifications, the theoretical model is solved analytically and illustrated numerically. It demonstrates that under some conditions, the liberalization of temporary movement of workers could lead to a decrease of illegal migration.     

我国民工流空间分布特征与影响因素

改革开放以后,由于经济和社会的变革,我国出现了"民工潮"这一特殊现象。民工的流出流入地及流动范围也具有较强的地域空间分布特征,即多从中部地区流向东部地区。研究了我国民工流的场效应。我国存在五个主要的吸引场,分析了民工流吸引场的特点,剖析了不同区域民工流流动空间差异。通过引力面板数据模型,验证了我国民工流流动符合Harris-Todaro期望收入假设,Schulzt人口流动推拉对称假设和距离衰减假设。由于区位的差异,不同流入地、流出地的民工流影响因素略有不同。

劳动力迁移对教育回报率阶层差异及收入差距的影响——采用“中国劳动力动态调查”数据的实证分析

基于“中国劳动力动态调查”数据分析表明,我国的教育回报率存在明显的收入阶层差异,其总体上随收入水平的上升而增加,且低收入阶层与其他收入阶层差距较大,中等收入阶层的高等教育回报率最高;劳动力迁移能显著提升接受高等教育的中、高收入群体和接受中等教育的中等收入群体的教育回报率,进而强化其收入优势;教育回报率差异对收入差距的贡献比受教育水平分布不均更大,劳动力迁移总体上有助于缩小与个体受教育（特别是高等教育）差异相关的收入差距。因此,教育资源的分配要有利于提升低收入群体的教育层次,并清除阻碍劳动力迁移的制度障碍,以缩减由个体受教育差异引致的收入差距。

The Fisher hypothesis: a multi-country analysis

This paper tests whether the Fisher hypothesis holds for a sample of 26 countries by assessing the long run relationship between nominal interest rates and inflation rates taking into consideration the short run dynamics of interest rates. The empirical evidence supports the hypothesis that there is a one-to-one relationship between the interest rate and inflation for more than half of the countries under study.     

我国农民工进城务工收入的调查分析：2000—2008

农村劳动力转移是我国实现工业化必须面对的重大课题,也是解决我国三农问题的根本途径。现阶段我国农村劳动力转移突出地表现为农民工进城问题。农民工进城务工收入的高低,直接影响着我国农村劳动力转移的数量和质量。本文应用第一手调查资料,从农户行为的微观角度研究了我国农民工进城务工收入的变化趋势和影响因素。分析显示：从2000年到2008年,我国农民工进城务工的收入有了较大提高;年龄、性别、学历、收入水平、区位等因素的差异对农民工进城务工的收入有一定的影响。     

Hospitality managers' importance perceptions of human resource practices related to employment of foreign workers in the United States

ABSTRACT

Cross-border labor mobility of hospitality employees has resulted in an increase in illegal immigrants in the workforce. The purpose of this study was to generate a list of top legal issues associated with the employment of foreign workers in the U.S. hospitality industry and to identify factors defined by the importance ratings of these issues. Snowball sampling was used to collect data from hospitality managers. Findings reveal that respondents perceive document verification to be important but may not perceive knowledge of various visa types and employment termination reporting procedures associated with employing foreign workers to be important. Managerial implications are discussed.     

劳动力外移、国际贸易与产业结构调整——基于1984—2004年中国数据的协整分析与格兰杰因果检验

伴随着经济全球化进程的不断加快,劳动力外移的浪潮不断高涨,对世界经济和国际贸易的发展带来了巨大的促进作用。近年来中国劳动力外移的数量同样迅猛增加,对中国经济的作用日趋彰显。本文在总结前人观点的基础上,利用1984—2004年的数据对中国的劳动力外移和对外贸易进行了协整分析和格兰杰因果检验,得出结论:我国劳动力外移和对外贸易之间的原因视不同的产业分别呈替代和互补关系,从而对我国产业结构的调整提出了不同的要求与发展思路。
