Medición del efecto de los problemas de emparejamiento en el desempleo

El artículo muestra cómo el tiempo necesario para los procesos de contratación puede incidir en el cálculo del desempleo al hacer que el número de asalariados sea inferior al de puestos de trabajo. Esta brecha entre demanda de trabajo y empleo solo puede medirse con precisión incluyendo en las encuestas de vacantes el cálculo tanto de las ofertas de empleo como de los puestos no cubiertos, como se hace en Suecia. Si la función de emparejamiento indica procesos de contratación más largos, ello solo puede interpretarse como aumento de los problemas de emparejamiento si se calculan los empleos no cubiertos, lo que también cuantificará el efecto sobre el desempleo.     

Pricing and price competition in consumer markets

This paper offers a simple model of the price mechanism in markets where buyers take prices as given and prices are set by sellers, as in most consumer markets. It explains price competition by arguing that a market price goes down if—and only if—a price cut appears profitable to a firm even if its competitors follow suit. It also explains why markets do not always clear, that is, why production can be restricted by sales and not capacity at prices set by firms.

Is the Perception of ‘Goodness’ Good Enough? Exploring the Relationship Between Perceived Corporate Social Responsibility and Employee Organizational Identification

Drawing on social identity theory and organizational identification theory, we develop a model of the impact of perceived corporate social responsibility on employees’ organizational identification. We argue that employees’ perceptions of their company’s social responsibility behaviors are more important than organizational reality in determining organizational identification. After defining perceived corporate social responsibility (PCSR), we postulate how PCSR affects organizational identification when perception and reality are aligned or misaligned. Implications for organizational practice and further research are discussed.
