  • Forgive Us Our Debts, as We Forgive Our Debtors

    Richard VedderARTICLEAcademic Questions2024

    Richard Vedder believes that the crisis in American higher education and other contemporary social problems can be traced directly to the explosive growth of federal student loans since the mid-twentieth century. These problems include unaffordable tuition, expanding university bureaucracies, lower academic standards, housing affordability, and declining marriage and birth rates. What, if anything, Vedder asks, should be done

  • Edge computing societal privacy and security issues

    Open AccessStephen Guynes, James Parrish et al.ARTICLEACM SIGCAS Computers and Society2020

    Edge computing involves pushing data storage, processing and analyzing to the edges of a network. It allows for actions to be taken at the point of processing. Edge computing is forcing change, and impacting society with its privacy and security issues, due to the way information is sent, is stored, and in the way, people react to the changes. This is due to the fact that data can be analyzed and reported in real time, so its outcomes are immedia…

  • Botsourcing's impact on society

    Open AccessRichard Vedder, Stephen Guynes et al.ARTICLEACM SIGCAS Computers and Society2019

    Botsourcing has been defined as "the use of robots or robotic technology to replace human workers". Over the past 10-15 years there has been an explosion in the capabilities of both robots and computing systems in general. These advances allow robots and other computer systems to assist humans in their work, as well as replace them in some instances. In this paper the authors will use the term botsourcing, and consider it as the augmentation or r…

  • Offshoring and social exchange: A Social Exchange Theory Perspective on Offshoring Relationships

    Open AccessJeremy St John, Richard Vedder et al.ARTICLEACM SIGCAS Computers and Society2017

    Social exchange theory deals with social behavior in the exchange of activities between organizations. The theory holds that the relationships experienced should be close but flexible. 1 This study captures the social relationship factors from social exchange theory (trust, power, dependence, communication and shared values) that underlay the client-vendor relationship and presents empirical evidence for the effectiveness of a relational approach…

  • Government and unemployment: Reply to De Long

    Lowell Gallaway, Lowell E Gallaway et al.ARTICLECritical Review1998Cited by: 1References: 7

    De Long's criticisms of our explanation of unemployment patterns in the United States are empirically false. His assertion that we have the direction of causation reversed collapses in light of the lag between artificially high wages and unemployment. Nor are his claims about the nature of cyclical movements in productivity and real wages consistent with the data. Finally, his contention that the model we present does not work in the post‐World W…

  • The state and labor in modern America

    Lowell Qallaway, Richard VedderARTICLECritical Review1998Cited by: 1References: 4

    One of the distinctive developments of the postwar era in the United States has been the relative decline in the economic significance of labor unions. Melvyn Dubofsky offers the hypothesis that this has resulted from a shift in public policy that represents a return to pre‐New Deal notions of the proper relationship between government and unions. But a much more likely explanation lies in the changing nature of American life. Increases in educat…

  • The distributional impact of the eighties: Myth vs. reality

    Lowell Gallaway, Lowell E Gallaway et al.ARTICLECritical Review1993References: 2

    Is there truth to the widespread belief that the ig8os saw a redistribution of income upward, from the poor and the middle class to the rich? While the eighties witnessed an abundance of new and high‐paying jobs and a sharp redistribution of taxes upward, income inequality did increase. But this was not because the poor lost ground but because the rich gained more ground than the poor. In reality, then, the eighties were not only good for the ric…
