Several measures of migration propensities are derived for the separate countries. The situation in each coun…

Restructuring the Malaysian Economy
A study of the Malaysian economy and labour market. Malaysia has enjoyed an enviable growth record over the last 25 years of the 20th century, which few nations can match, and has also been keen to judge her performance against non growth criteria of poverty eradication and national unity following the emergence of racial conflict in 1969. There are many lessons for policy makers elsewhere of this active approach to poverty eradication and social…

Sharing, Monitoring, and Incentives
A general equilibrium model is presented wherein wage labor requires monitoring in order to extract effort. Landlords may also elect to adopt sharetenancy contracts in which workers have an incentive to supply unsupervised effort. Two "distortions" exist: monitoring costs in one sector and a share "tax" in the other. Efficiency statements require second-best comparisons adopting more specific functional forms. This mixed wage-sharetenancy economy…

The Distribution of Job Characteristics
THIS paper presents a cross-sectional analysis of the distribution across population classes of of work performed in the United States.

The approach adopted is to focus on a matrix of coefficients describing the nature of the task involved in each occupation of a very fine occupational classification, the elements of which matrix are here referred to as characteristics. For exa…
