Evidence of a glass ceiling for arts and culture professionals in Korea

Using the five available waves of the Wage Structure Survey data, this study employs quantile decomposition to investigate the existence of a glass ceiling among Korean professionals. The decomposition results for all professional workers show an inverse U-shape, which implies no evidence of a glass ceiling. However, we find a monotonically increasing pattern for arts and culture professionals, indicating strong evidence of a glass ceiling on their labour market. This result implies that, as the wage quantile moves from lower to higher levels, female professionals in arts and culture jobs face significant barriers to career advancement. This analysis supports the recent assertion of UNESCO that gender equality in culture is not immune to inequalities and discrimination.     

Forget about ‘the ideal worker’: A theoretical contribution to the debate on flexible workplace designs,work/life conflict,and opportunities for gender equality

This study integrates insights from Self-Determination Theory and Boundary Theory to present scenarios on how flexible workplace designs can trigger multiple motivational processes underlying gendered work/nonwork integration behaviors, and how these affect work/life conflict. We disentangle processes underlying work engagement and work/life conflict, explaining the paradoxical outcomes found with regard to gender inequality in terms of work/life performance, satisfaction, and health. Policy makers and organizations need an increased understanding and a reconceptualization of these issues, realizing that the ideal worker does not exist. Instead, a long-term perspective is needed in order to truly realize the potential benefits of flexible workplace designs for all stakeholders. Organizations need to take responsibility for preventing individual workers’ depletion and stimulating the regeneration of workers’ resources.     

关于增加湖北省中等收入者比重的调查与分析(下)

我国中等收入阶层的形成和壮大，是同无数中等收入的形成和壮大联系在一起的，也与我国经济社会体制的不断跃迁、不断完善密切相关，特别是中等收入的特质及其影响力，是与我国经济社会体制改革的效率和整个社会的福利水平呈现一种正相关关系的。扩大中等收入比重，提高低收入收入水平，这是在新的历史条件下对我国传统收入分配制度的一个新的注解。     

中国的潜在产出、产出缺口及产量--通货膨胀交替关系--基于"Kalman滤波"方法的研究

本文介绍并运用“Kalman滤波”方法估计1979-2004年间我国的潜在经济增长率和产出缺口，然后根据这些结果检验了我国经济增长与通货膨胀率之间的交替关系、社会的通货膨胀预期对经济的影响、决定产出缺口大小的影响因素等，最后利用研究结果对我国2005年的经济发展进行了预测。     

潜在产出估计的文献综述

通过对国内外有关潜在产出的计算方法进行综述,指出目前国外普遍认同的方法是以经济理论为依据的生产函数法,而我国采用的是统计分解方法。统计分解方法有主观性和偏差性较大的缺点,应加以改进。

当前若干促进农民增收措施的效果与未来取向

当前,我国各级政府为了促进农民增收相继出台了一系列的政策措施,但这些措施实施的效果并不尽如人意.我国农民收入增长缓慢的根本原因在于农民人均可耕种面积太小,过多的农民拥挤在有限的土地上,使得很多促进农民增收的措施效果不明显.因此,解决农民增收问题,必须加快城市化步伐,把农民从土地上解放出来.     

缩小城乡居民收入差距的财政思考

缩小城乡居民收入差距的关键在于提高农村居民的收入增长速度。要实现农村居民收入的较快增长,必须通过一定财政政策的支持,积极发展农业经济,改善农业经济结构,提高农业经济质量,增强农业的竞争力。通过农村税费改革,切实减轻农民负担。加快农村剩余劳动力从农业生产领域向非农产业领域的转移、从农业劳动力过剩地区向劳动力短缺地区转移,藉以提高农业劳动生产率,增加农民收入。     

An Eclectic Approach to Estimating U.S. Potential GDP

Rennison (Comparing alternative output gap estimations: a Monte Carlo approach, 2003) has provided simulation-based evidence showing that the joint use of extended multivariate filters and structural vector autoregression models is optimal for estimating potential output. We use this approach to estimate the two components of potential GDP: the full-employment labour input and trend labour productivity. This decomposition is useful for identifying sources of fluctuations in potential output. It reveals, for example, that the vigorous growth rate of U.S. potential GDP recorded during the second half of the 1990s is attributable to a fall in the structural rate of unemployment and a marked upswing in trend productivity growth.
