Remittances and Inequality in Jamaica
Unionization rates, inequality, and poverty in Canadian provinces 2000-2020
Unions can increase the power of workers through both collective bargaining and political avenues, potentially creating less income inequality and poverty. However, this potential may not be realized. Drawing on power resource theory, this study uses panel data to investigate the connection between unionization and two measures of after-tax inequality - the income share of the top 1% and the Gini coefficient - and three measures of poverty - the …
Interprovincial Unionization and the Environment
The relationship between labour movements and the environment has been the subject of considerable debate but little empirical research. Using panel data for Canadian provinces between 2001 and 2019, this article investigates the relationship between unionization rates and two measures of environmental quality: greenhouse gas emissions and total particulate matter pollution. We find that higher unionization rates are associated with lower emissio…

Fatal cryptococcal meningitis in a non-HIV patient
Cryptococcal infections (Cryptococcosis) are fatal fungal infections typically caused by Cryptococcus neoformans, a saprophyte frequently found in soil contaminated with pigeon droppings and frequently seen in immunocompromised (specifically HIV Positive) individuals. Now a day’s awareness is emerging on cryptococcal disease among non-immunocompromised patients also. We present a case of Cryptococcus meningitis (CM) in a patient with cardiopulmon…

Online disinformation in the run-up to the Indian 2019 election
This essay examines the role of disinformation in the Indian general election of 2019. The findings are presented against the background of previous work on the role of digital media in Indian politics. The essay uses 25 in-depth interviews among ordinary Indians to probe their level of awareness about so-called ‘fake news’. It also examines their behavior in seeking news and sharing political information and their views about the digital campaig…

Non‐linear relationship between remittances and financial development in Jamaica
We examine the relationship between financial development and remittance inflows (remittances), measured as a share of GDP, within a non‐linear framework in Jamaica over the period 1980 to 2017. By applying the autoregressive distributed lag bound testing approach to cointegration, we arrive at two key results. First, there is a long‐run cointegrating relationship running from remittances to financial development. Second, remittances and financia…
Gendered perceptions of workaholism and the gender gap in parenting time
We use the 2015 Canadian time-use survey to analyse predictors of workaholism and the gender gap in parenting time. For mothers, both parenting time and market work are predictive of self-reporting workaholism. Workaholic mothers do not spend less time parenting as their market work increases. These levels remain higher at each level than workaholic fathers and non-workaholic mothers and fathers. This suggests increased market work time does not …
Do governments matter? Provincial policy and redistribution in two Canadian provinces, 1990–2010
One of the most important economic debates surrounding the feasibility of government efforts to redistribute income is the extent to which economic integration leads to policy convergence. The convergence hypothesis argues that when trade and finance flow freely between political jurisdictions, economic policies will tend to converge. This article uses two Canadian provinces, Manitoba and British Columbia, to conduct a comparative analysis of red…
Was there a transformation in economic ideology between 1960 and 2000
In this paper, we examine whether or not there has been a change in economic ideology in the late twentieth century. To conduct the analysis, we first identified the most influential economists, as determined by citation analysis. Next, we divided the database into four decades (1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s) and ranked the authors according to their citation counts. We examined the articles and classified each of the top 50- and top 10-cited au…
Gender differences in within-couple influences on work–family balance satisfaction
Using the 2010 General Social Survey in Time Use (Canadian time diary data, N = 1785), we explore the impact of spouses’ time spent on childcare and other work–family factors on parents’ work–family balance satisfaction. We examine how benefits compare to threats to parenting time and the relative impact on satisfaction with work–family balance. Our findings indicate that benefits to parenting time (working regular shift, fewer hours, and flextim…
A Counterfactual Analysis of the Gender Gap in Parenting Time
This paper uses the 2010 General Social Survey in Time Use (Canadian time diary data, N = 1,932) to examine the gender gap in parental time allocated to childcare for families at different stages indicated by ages of children. We suggest that the general increase in fathers’ time with children matters little as long as a substantial gender gap remains. We analyse how the gender gap in weekday childcare time varies at different life stages of pare…
