Originally presented at a Conference on Labor in Nonprofit Industry
and Government held at Princeton University, these studies are the
first to provide an economic discussion of the public sector labor
market. Melvin Reder examines the effect of the absence of the
profit motive on employment and wage determination in the public
sector. Orley Ashenfelter and Ronald Ehrenberg estimate the
elasticities of demand for various types of labor employed by state
and local governments. Theoretical ideas about behavior in
nonprofit industries are employed by Richard Freeman to study the
higher education industry. John Burton and Charles Krider try to
predict the incidence of strikes in the public sector, while Donald
Frey presents a model of the behavior of school boards in hiring
faculty. The magnitude of the extra wage received by unionized
public employees is compared by Daniel Hamermesh to that of private
unionized workers in the same occupation. Originally published in
1975. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand

This volume presents an analysis of Japan's powerful upper
bureaucracy in the post-war period. The author's aim is to provide
an empirical foundation for the many impressionistic accounts of
Japanese bureaucracy and a systematic basis for comparative studies
of bureaucracies in other countries. The study ranges from the
family and geographic backgrounds of higher civil servants through
their educational training and career patterns to their retirement
and post-retirement activities. Throughout, the emphasis is on
assembling and analyzing the kind of systematic data that provide a
solid basis for understanding how the Japanese bureaucracy actually
works. Originally published in 1969. The Princeton Legacy Library

What is the role of the public bureaucracy in social, economic, and
political development? What are the alternatives of development for
newly emerging nation-states? How does a bureaucracy satisfy or
inhibit the requisites of democratic development? Twelve
outstanding scholars--Joseph LaPalombara, Fritz Morstein Marx, S.
N. Eisenstadt, Fred W. Riggs, Bert F. Hoselitz, Joseph J. Spengler,
Merle Fainsod, Carl Beck, J. Donald Kingsley, John T. Dorsey, Ralph
Braibanti, and Walter B. Sharp--approach these questions both by
historical analysis (in the U.S. and in a score of countries in
Europe, Asia, and Africa), and by empirical field research (in such
varied places as Nigeria, Pakistan, and Viet Nam). Originally
published in 1963. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest

Military spouses also deserve a career! The challenge for military
spouses is being relocated every two to four years. Finding
permanent, career positions with frequent relocations is difficult.
But the one employer with positions and careers at every military
base is the US Government. This book is dedicated to helping
military spouses navigate the complex federal job application
system. This book covers four different ways to land four different
kinds of positions with the federal government: USAJOBS competitive
hiring; Excepted service jobs; Non-Appropriated Fund (NAF) jobs;
Military Spouse Preference (MSP) jobs. Each of these paths requires
different job search techniques and tips. Kathryn Troutman, known
as the Federal Resume Guru, shares straightforward strategies based
on her 40+ years of expertise with resume writing and career
coaching. Military spouses will be encouraged and equipped to take
control of their career. This reader-friendly publication contains:
Updates with the latest federal hiring changes and initiatives;
Before and after resume samples; Clear step-by-step instructions.
Identifying a form of government intervention in social and
economic affairs called public service liberalism, Alan Stone looks
to that ideology to confront the problems of the 1990s and beyond.
He shows in this fascinating case study that the policy has been
effective in the past: the American telephone industry from its
inception until 1934 is an illustration of how public service
liberalism served both economic efficiency and a complex structure
of public values. Stone depicts the stages by which public service
liberalism was replaced by less adequate policies and suggests ways
that it could be successfully restored. Furthermore, Stone
demonstrates that government-business relationships like the one
that prevailed in the telephone industry were common in the
nineteenth and the early twentieth century. He argues that this
period was not an era of laissez-faire, as is often alleged, but
that its economic energy and extraordinary technological progress
were accompanied by complete acceptance of certain kinds of
government intervention. Challenging the presuppositions not only
of the new ideologists of deregulation, privatization, and
competition but also of the practitioners of what he calls the
"sanctimonious muddle" of present-day liberalism, Stone
demonstrates that public service liberalism could help resolve
current problems, such as those in the savings and loan
institutions and the cable television industry.
