The topography of metropolitan employment: Identifying centers of employment in a polycentric urban area

While it is well recognized that US metropolitan areas are polycentric, there is little consensus as to the appropriate method for identifying concentrations of employment within them. Existing methods suffer from strong assumptions about parametric form, misspecification, or reliance on local knowledge to calibrate model parameters. This paper introduces a new nonparametric method for identifying subcenters. Results indicate that this, more flexible, nonparametric approach yields greater accuracy with regard to both urban and suburban centers compared with other approaches. This approach should provide better data for the numerous topics that depend on the spatial accounting of employment within metropolitan areas.

Does subsidised temporary employment get the unemployed back to work? Aneconometric analysis of two different schemes

Subsidised employment is an important tool of active labour market policies to improve the reemployment chances of the unemployed. Using unusually informative individual data from administrative records, we investigate the effects of two different schemes of subsidised temporary employment implemented in Switzerland: non-profit employment programmes (EP) and a subsidy for temporary jobs (TEMP) in private and public firms. Econometric matching methods show that TEMP is more successful than EP in getting the unemployed back to work. Compared to not participating in any programme, EP and TEMP are ineffective for unemployed who find jobs easily anyway or have a short unemployment spell. For potential and actual long-term unemployed, both programmes may have positive effects, but the effect of TEMP is larger.

Corporate social responsibility and marketing: An integrative framework

This article introduces a conceptualization of corporate social responsibility (CSR) that emphasizes the role and potential contribution of the marketing discipline. The proposed framework first depicts CSR initiatives as the actions undertaken to display conformity to both organizational and stakeholder norms. Then, the article discusses the managerial processes needed to monitor, meet, and even exceed, stakeholder norms. Finally, the analysis explains how CSR initiatives can generate increased stakeholder support.

边疆民族地区经济增长与就业关系比较研究

通过建立GDP就业模型揭示经济增长与就业的内在关系。要增加就业降低失业率，必须保持快速和稳定的经济增长和提高GDP就业弹性。比较分析边疆少数民族地区和东部发达地区的GDP就业弹性，发现由于东部发达地区经济更依赖于资本和技术进步，其GDP就业弹性、GDP对就业的“指数效应”比边疆少数民族地区的小。同时随着边疆少数民族地区经济的资本有机构成逐渐提高和进一步的资本深化，GDP就业弹性也在逐渐下降。东部发达地区GDP对就业的“乘数效应”比边疆民族地区的大，说明了东部发达地区依然是吸收就业和农村剩余劳动力的主要地区，并提出增加就业的对策建议。
