This volume contains eight new and innovative research articles
relevant to researchers and policy makers. Each chapter deals with
an aspect of human welfare and is authored by an expert in the
field. One deals with how technological change affects the
distribution of earnings, two deal with how workers advance through
corporate hierarchy, four deal with how incentives motivate
workers, and the final chapter deals with how one immigrant group
is far more successful than even the native population. Among the
questions answered are: What accounts for the relative rise in
skilled worker salaries? Which workers advance more quickly up the
corporate ladder? Are workers hired from outside the company as
successful as internally promoted workers? Does performance-based
pay affect worker absenteeism? Do retirement incentives to workers
really help the firm? Do unexpected decreases in retirement income
decrease retiree life satisfaction? Do more stringent divorce laws
increase cohabitation? What causes immigrants to really succeed in
their new country?
