Symposium on Harrison's ?Lean and Mean
Outsourcing and the Search for 'Flexibility
Organizational restructuring during the 1980s consisted in part of efforts by large and small firms alike to achieve functional, wage or numerical `flexibility' in their relationships with employees. The practice of contracting-out, or `outsourcing' work which might otherwise have been performed `in-house', is one aspect of numerical flexibility. From analysis of a nationally representative sample of production managers in one thousand manufactur…
Growing Inequality in Black Wages in the 1980s and the Emergence of an African-American Middle Class
Much recent scholarship and popular discussion posits a substantial movement of African-American households into the “middle class.” Yet over the course of the 1980s, the proportion of individual black wage-earners receiving “annualized” (work experience-adjusted) wages and salaries in excess of about $35, 000-three times the poverty line-fell by 22 percent, even as the share of African-Americans earning below the poverty line increased by a fift…
Industrial Districts
HARRISON B. (1992) Industrial districts: old wine in new bottles?, Reg. Studies 26, 469-483. According to the theory of industrial districts, a new wave of economic growth is being led in a number of regions in Europe, North America and East Asia by spatially concentrated networks of mostly small and medium sized enterprises, often using flexible production technology and characterized by extensive local interfirm linkages. Does this amount to a …

The Incidence and Regulation of Plant Shutdowns
This paper analyzes the proposed plant closing legislation, together with other complementary approaches to the orderly regulation of private capital disinvestment, especially as it occurs in the form of large‐scale plant or store shutdowns. The authors also provide a review of the recent data on the incidence and employment impact of shutdowns during the 1970's, in particular industries, by region and by form of ownership
The Theory of “Dual” or Segmented Labor Markets
What causes un(and under-) employment and poverty? Economists and other social scientists approach this question from theoretical positions which vary in many important respects. To make matters even more difficult for the policy maker, the disputes among different schools of social scientists about the causes of poverty and underemployment are only partly subject to adjudication by appeal to empirical information, since even the very rules of ev…

The Public Personnel System
Full Employment at Living Wages
The theme of this article is true full employ ment : the opportunity for all to work for living wages. Under the heading of a full employment policy, we reject the creation of substandard jobs, no matter how many. A policy of guaranteed employment that fails to provide for living wage levels could easily turn into a device for forcing reluctant workers into substandard jobs. A true full employment policy must rest on three principles: (1) a guara…
