Imperial involvement in the governance of Cyprus during the years 653-965
Dans une période archéologiquement obscure, les sceaux en plomb constituent un complément fondamental aux sources littéraires pour ce qui concerne l’administration de Chypre entre 653 et la reconquête de 965 ; ils apportent des témoignages importants sur l’implication impériale dans les affaires chypriotes à cette époque
Monetary circulation in Merovingian Gaul, 561-674. A propos des Cahiers Ernest Babelon, 8
We can characterize empirically the ways in which Merovingian gold tremisses circulated in France by analysing a random sample of single finds, published by J. Lafaurie and J. Pilet-Lemière. It is clear that, as well as being exchanged locally in and near the places where they were minted, the coins were carried over long distances. If we measure the distance that each single find had travelled from its mint of origin, and range those distances i…
The Impact of the National Minimum Wage on the Pay Distribution, Employment and Training
Britain's first ever national minimum wage (NMW) came into force in April 1999 covering some 5% of workers. Between 1999 and 2002 the NMW rose in line with the growth in average earnings. But for 2003-6 the NMW will be ratcheted up relative to median pay. The evidence shows that between 1998 and 2002 the bottom decile of the pay distribution experienced above average pay rises with no spillover effects further up the distribution. There was no ov…

The Low Pay Commission and the National Minimum Wage
Great Britain has had statutory regulation of minimum pay for most of this century but never previously had a national minimum wage (NMW). This paper outlines the history of minimum wage regulation culminating in 1997 with the establishment of the Low Pay Commission (LPC). The three key debates within the LPC are analysed, namely the definition of the wage, what to do about youngsters, and the level to set the NMW. The impact of the NMW on the pa…

Strike Incidence in British Manufacturing in the 1980s
In British manufacturing during the 1980s, about one in forty wage settlements involved a strike. Using data provided by the Confederation of British Industry, the authors analyze the incidence of strikes in some 6,000 negotiations at the level of the bargaining group. Among their findings are that multi-unionism (the presence in a workplace of more than one union with the authority to bargain) was associated with higher strike incidence than was…
Smithfield Meat Market
Smithfield meat market is one of the great sights of London. The TGWU labour supply pre-entry closed shop is correspondingly amazing. It incorporates self-employed as well as employed workers. There are a dozen occupational categories, yet all but one are engaged in the movement of meat and occupational licencing for some workers adds a further layer on top of the closed shop. The Corporation of the City of London, who own Smithfield, have threat…

A Clinical Study of Delirium in Children and Adolescents
A group of 33 children and early adolescents with acute central nervous system disorders of toxic, metabolic, traumatic, and other types were studied in the hospital. They were compared with a matched control group, also in the hospital, who had no central nervous system disorder. Methods of study for both groups included neurological examination; mental status; electroencephalographic tracings (using developmental norms established here); neurop…
Unemployment
Unemployment in Britain stands at a post-war record and is expected to rise in the 1980s. Microeconomic policies to reduce unemployment – public works projects, job creation, training, improvements in labour market information, and reductions in the size of the labour force – all have precursors in the sixteenth century. The incidence of unemployment is very uneven, some 3% of the labour force account for 70% of weeks of unemployment in any year.…

Urban Unemployment in England
The urban areas of England experience widely different unemployment rates. This research examines male unemployment in the 78 English county boroughs using data from the 1971 Census. The impact of socio-demographic characteristics, the local industrial structure and environment, and regional deficient demand on spatial unemployment differentials is analyzed by regression analysis. The analysis is rich in policy implications concerning, for exampl…

University Salaries
This paper extends and brings up to date the original work of Bowen on pay among subjects in universities in the United Kingdom.2 Following Bowen we use faculty differentials to mean systematic variations in economic well-being among university teachers among subjects. For years some the university profession, except for Medicine, has had a uniform set of salary scales, which consists of: (i) a minimum and/or maximum salary for each grade; and (i…

Stress and Neonatal Sleep
Routine circumcision, done without anesthesia in the newborn nursery, was usually followed by prolonged nonrapid eye movement (NREM) sleep. Since this form of sleep has been described as a low point on an arousal continuum, we consider its increase to be consistent with a theory of conservation-withdrawal in response to stressful stimulation
