  • Predicting the Effects of Comparable Worth Programs on Female Labor Supply

    Open AccessAlice Nakamura, Masao NakamuraARTICLEJournal of Social Issues1989References: 21

    Economists have devoted considerable effort to analyzing wage effects on labor supply behavior. This research has broad policy implications since many government tax and transfer programs alter the wage rates that workers receive, or alter their perception of the value of the wages received. Comparable worth programs are explicitly intended to alter the wage rates of working women. Accepted theories in labor economics of how the female labor supp…

  • Rational Expectations and the Firm's Dividend Behavior

    Alice Nakamura, Masao NakamuraARTICLEThe Review of Economics and…1985

    In Lintner's model of dividend behavior of firms change in dividends is a function of current earnings and lagged dividends. We show that under a rational expectations hypothesis of management behavior change-individends equation should include lagged earnings as an additional explanatory variable, and that expected sign of coefficient of lagged earnings variable is positive. Fama and Babiak predicted opposite sign for a lagged earnings variable …

  • On the Firm's Production, Capital Structure and Demand for Debt

    Alice Nakamura, Masao NakamuraARTICLEThe Review of Economics and…1982

    SOME economists have ignored corporate financing decisions on the assumption that they do not affect the investment and production decisions of firms. Yet even if this extreme position is accepted, firms must still make financing decisions which in turn have impacts on other sectors of the economy. Since interest payments on corporate debt are tax deductible, the reliance of firms on debt as opposed to equity financing directly affects the revenu…
