  • Firm Efficiency and the Regulatory Closure of S&Ls

    A Sinan Cebenoyan, Elizabeth S Cooperman et al.ARTICLEThe Review of Economics and…1993

    This paper uses a two-step methodology to examine the relationship between firm inefficiency and the regulatory closure of savings and loans (S&Ls). In the first step, using multiproduct, translog stochastic cost frontiers, the authors estimate inefficiency scores separately for mutual and stock S&Ls operating in the Southwest in 1988. They use the inefficiency scores in second step logit models to identify determinants of regulatory closure. For…

  • Decriminalization of marijuana and the demand for alcohol, marijuana and cocaine

    Open AccessClifford F Thies, Charles A RegisterARTICLEThe Social Science Journal1993Cited by: 6References: 4

    This study examines whether the decriminalization of marijuana in eleven states has affected self-reported usage of drugs. Generally, decriminalization is not found to significantly impact drug use. An implication is that the demand for drugs is highly inelastic with respect to incremental changes in the legal sanctions for possession of small amounts of marijuana

  • Labor Market Effects of Marijuana and Cocaine Use among Young Men

    Charles A Register, Donald R WilliamsARTICLEIndustrial and Labor Relations…1992Cited by: 9References: 15

    Using data on marijuana and cocaine use from the 1984 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, the authors examine the hypothesis that drug use reduces labor market productivity, as measured by wages. From an analysis that controls for the probability of employment and the endogeneity of drug use, they find that although long-term and on-the-job use of marijuana negatively affected wages, the net productivity effect for all marijuana users (both th…

  • The Labor Force Attachment of Discouraged Workers

    Open AccessLonnie K Stevans, Charles A Register et al.ARTICLEWork and Occupations1987Cited by: 1References: 2

    Since the 1960s policymakers have been concerned with the question of whether the discouraged worker should be considered unemployed. Previous researchers have argued that only those groups of the discouraged who exhibit a 'distinctive attachment' to the labor force should be counted among the unemployed. This study differs by defining 'distinctive attachment' as a long-run, not merely short-run, sensitivity to economic fluctuations. Using this c…

  • Racial Employment and Earnings Differentials

    Open AccessCharles A RegisterARTICLEThe Review of Black Political…1986Cited by: 1References: 2

    Numerous authors have considered the time paths of black/white employment and earnings differentials. Some have dealt with significant policy change impacts such as the 1964 Civil Rights Act. This study reports evidence concerning the impact of Reagan administration policy changes. The major drawback to the study is, of course, that the administration's total impact will no doubt not be felt for years. Regardless, using U.S. Census data through 1…

  • Race and the Discouraged Female Worker

    Open AccessLonnie K Stevans, Charles A Register et al.ARTICLEThe Review of Black Political…1985Cited by: 2References: 2

    This article presents an empirical examination of female attachment to the labor market. An econometric model of the discouragement process is built to determine how strongly women exhibit the inclination to remain labor force participants over the course of the business cycle. The estimated results imply that women, as a group, have a stronger response to changes in short-run cyclical fluctuations and therefore will sever their attachment to the…
