On (And Off) the Hot Seat
The authors investigate economists' decisions to enter and exit department chair positions in research-intensive economics departments of elite universities during the postwar era (1948-1989). They use the American Economic Association Survey of Members as well as phone surveys to determine which, and at what point in their careers, faculty assume administrative positions. The theoretical model predicts and empirical results confirm that a faster…
Aim High or Go Low? Pricing Strategies and Enrollment Effects When the Net Price Elasticity Varies with Need and Ability
Detailed data on individual applicants to a large public university are used to demonstrate that net price responsiveness decreases with need and ability. Enrollment effects are simulated and show a movement towards a high tuition/high aid (low tuition/low aid) policy significantly lowers (raises) tuition revenue with a modest increase (decrease) in the number of aid-eligible students

Gender and Promotion in the Economics Profession
The authors use unique panel data on American Economic Association members to test for gender differences in promotion in a profession with a well-defined promotion and job hierarchy and in which men and women exhibit similar labor-market attachment. The results suggest that over the period from the 1960s through the early 1980s, female economists had lower levels of professional attainment and career advancement than did their male colleagues wi…
The Gender Composition and Scholarly Performance of Economics Departments
Using data on academic economists in the years 1973, 1977, 1982, and 1987, the authors investigate gender differences in placement and their consequences for departmental productivity. The initial analysis shows that in the years studied, the departments that were highest-ranked on a measure of scholarly publications per faculty member were the least likely to hire female faculty. A second analysis shows that departments that hired fewer women in…

An Assessment of the Human Capital Content of International Migrants
The authors present a methodology for measuring the magnitude of international migration flows that includes an earnings equation approach as an economic dimension. "Applying our methodology to U.S. immigration, we find considerable variation across source regions in the value of immigrants. Moreover, we find that simply comparing initial earnings without controlling for differences in the characteristics and migration patterns of immigrants from…

Some Alternative Definitions of Youth Unemployment
Current definitions of unemployment are inadequate for analyzing and understanding the problem of youth unemployment in the United States. By focusing on alternative definitions of youth unemployment, this study seeks to better understand the nature of the problem. Alternative rates of unemployment using data disaggregated by age, race, and gender from 1971 to 1983 are presented. Some findings: (1) all of the rates taken together provide a much b…
The Effects of Growth Management on the Housing Market
The no-growth or slow-growth policies that have spread rapidly in the past 15 years vary in form and include explicit population targets, rigid development controls, and refusal to provide expanded public services, among other techniques The purpose of this article is to review these efforts. The article first presents a review of the economic theory that illuminates the economic motivations for such controls and identifies some of the major impa…
Knight on Risk and Uncertainty
It is argued that the received interpretation of Frank Knight's_(1921) classic risk-uncertainty distinction-as concerning whether or not agents have subjective probabilities-constitutes a misreading of Knight. On the contrary, Knight shared the modern view that agents can be assumed always to act as if they have subjective probabilities. The authors document their contention that by uncert ainty Knight instead meant situations in which insurance …
An Empirical Analysis of the Commute to Work Patterns of Males and Females in Two-Earner Households
The purpose of this paper is to empirically investigate the proposition that residential decisions are made with reference to the male head of household's job location, disadvantaging females in the labor market. A sample of approximately 50,000 adults in two-earner households in urban areas distributed across the United States is selected from public use microdata from the 1980 census and used to estimate a simultaneous model to explain commute …
The spatial variation in unemployment and labour force participation rates of male and female workers
Lillydahl J. H. and Singell L. D. (1985) The spatial variation in unemployment and labour force participation rates of male and female workers, Reg. Studies 19, 459–469. This paper investigates the spatial patterns of male and female unemployment and labour force participation rates. The theoretical underpinnings for differences in work and residential choices for males and females are reviewed. Census tract data from five metropolitan areas in t…
Youth Unemployment
Unemployment rates for urban youth have grown considerably over the past decade and are currently at Great Depression levels. This paper examines the relative importance of four hypotheses regarding the causes of this development. These are that youth have been: (1) pushed out by recession conditions and declining growth rates; (2) crowded out by growth in their own numbers and expansions in female labor force participation; (3) priced out by min…
The Scope of the Grants Economy and Income Distribution
Private transfers of income between family members have had significant equalizing effects on the distribution of income in the United States but only recently have they become a subject of research and an element of analysis. Some of the major theoretical developments in the area of income distribution and intergenerational mobility in the rich literature of the grants economy are reviewed. Among the effects of family transfers on income distrib…
