Biodemographic and molecular analysis of an isolated Alpine population (Postua)
Isolated populations have been the object of several genetic and anthropological studies, since endogamy and inbreeding often lead to the acquisition of a particular gene pool. In this context, we studied the small, ancient population of Postua in the north-western Italian Alps. We used biodemographic and molecular techniques to analyse the population structure in order to evaluate the relationship between geographical and genetic isolation. We e…
Gay Pay in the UK
This paper attempts, for the first time for the UK, to analyse the earnings of homosexuals and test for the possible existence of sexual orientation discrimination by using decomposition analysis. Homosexuals are identified as individuals living with ‘same‐sex partners’. Gay men and lesbians in our sample both earn more on average than non‐gays. However, we find that the decomposition indicates that homosexual men may be subject to discrimination…
The Impact of Computer Use On Earnings in the UK
The effect of new technology on relative demands for workers has been the subject of much research in economics. Krueger (1993) and others have studied the impact of computers on earnings in the US and elsewhere. Such studies have been criticised for ignoring the possibility of bias due to unobserved heterogeneity between computer users and non‐users, resulting in computer users not being a random sub‐sample of all workers. As well as looking at …
Essential Readings in Economics
Intellectual advances in economics often come from debates that have been long forgotten but which offer context, depth and clarity to contemporary study. Essential Readings in Economics makes availab
Essential readings in economics
Readings are organized in two groups: microeconomics and macroeconomics. Part I looks at topics ranging from "the theory of demand" and "the firm and supply" to the economics of uncertainty and information. Part II, the wide-ranging debates since the publication of The General Theory are illustrated by contributions from Keynes, Friedman, Solow, Lucas and other leading economists

Macroeconomic policy
The Value of Life and Safety
The Reward for Risk in the Labor Market
Schooling and Income Distribution
ONE question that arises following recent I attempts to introduce economic theory in explaining income distribution is to what extent schooling can be used as a policy instrument to promote equality in our society. Although the link between the size of individual earnings and education has been rather well established, the change in the distribution of income among individuals resulting from a change in the level of schooling is not yet settled. …
