Tanaka, Yasushi. "A theory of wage determination : a training model with heterogeneous labour approach." Thesis, London School of Economics and Political Science (University of London), 1997. http://etheses.lse.ac.uk/1488/.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis offers an alternative approach to the theory of wage determination, producing new and interesting interpretations to labour market phenomena. Based on the assumption of heterogeneous labour, a training model based on the concept of adverse selection is introduced. The unique feature of this model is that the heterogeneity is expressed in terms of the cost of OJT as well as the opportunity wage of the potential workers. The model suggests that the existence of unemployment and the downward wage rigidity are conditional upon the market characteristics and that the unemployment can not be eliminated by lowering the wage. It also suggests that policies to control the demand side of the market such as accepting of immigration of able workers, raising the educational standard of the domestic workers, or subsidizing the firm's OJT would be more effective. Also as a training model, the analysis includes a two-period model, in which the upward-sloping wage profile is derived. The analysis is extended to the idea of multiple wage equilibrium in one market, which in turn offers a new dimension to the analysis of income distribution. One important result here is that whatever happens in the society will first affect the weakest, to whom therefore the policy makers need to pay greater attention. The derivation of a skewed distribution of wage offers yet one more explanation to the Pigou paradox. The model attempts also to explain how firms choose workers in the real world job offers usually states a minimum hiring standard as well as the offer wage, and how they react to economic fluctuations - would they, for example, reduce the wage or raise the minimum hiring standard when the demand for the product falls. The analysis suggests that the weaker members of the society are more prone to exogeneous shocks.

Abstract:
The aim of the study was to determine whether the training provided by universities offering agricultural economics degree programmes, is in line with the skills set required by the employers of agricultural economics graduates. In order to achieve this objective, a survey was conducted among the eight universities in South Africa that offer agricultural economics related subjects for degree purposes namely, the University of Pretoria, Stellenbosch, KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo, Free State, Fort Hare, North West and Venda. Out of the eight universities, responses were received from six with no response coming from North West and Venda. Furthermore, a tracer survey was conducted among the alumni who attended these universities. This was to determine a different perspective to the quality of training in various programmes as presented by the Heads of Departments. The study established the different skills considered important for the success of the agricultural economics graduates in the work place. These are computer skills, soft skills (commonly known as interpersonal skills), business and basic agricultural economics skills. In order to have an effective workforce and efficiency in the workplace, majority of these skills should be developed during the undergraduate study at university level. The results obtained from the surveys amongst the universities indicated that the Heads of Departments were relatively satisfied with the basic skills their students had attained upon graduation. However, trading on South African Futures Exchange (SAFEX), tax planning and giving reliable advice to farmers, as well as applied welfare analysis are common areas that required attention and improvement throughout all the universities. The graduates were rated high in soft skills, computer and basic agricultural economics skills by the HOD’s. However, remarks were made about the students’ inability to communicate effectively in English especially, those whose home language is not English. The survey showed that 50% of the graduates’ spoke Afrikaans as a home language while only 8% were native English speakers. This is in line with the research conducted by Gough (2009) showing that only 10% of South Africans speak English as a home language. This statistic suggests the need for students to develop strong communication skills in English. Universities are perceived by the alumni to provide quality training and learning. However, the overall consensus is that universities focus their learning more on agricultural sciences rather than agricultural practice, a notion shared by Mafunzwaini, Thahane and Worth (2003). The universities offer various teaching methods, which include theoretical models and a few practical concepts. The alumni in the study revealed that more agricultural case studies should be incorporated into the study programmes. Case studies would offer future agricultural economists the knowledge and advantage of solving real-world problems. Some universities regularly invite industry professionals to give presentations to their students as a way of giving ‘real world’ experience of the industry. Mentorships and internships are value added programmes that require more attention and better coordination into the agricultural economics departments. A large percentage of the alumni (43%) qualified with a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture (BSc Agric) degree, followed by 7% in Bachelor of Commerce (BCom) and 4% in Bachelor of Agriculture (BAgric) degrees. Although, the overall perception on the quality of teaching received by the alumni was positive, they still experienced gaps in the training they acquired from the universities. Time management, problem-solving, analytical, advanced statistical skills and practical experience, were expressed as concepts not efficiently developed within their training that would have increased their rate of success in the workplace. The study also matched the skills set required by industry (acquired from the AGRIMASS survey, 2012) with the skills produced by universities established from the university survey. The skills match to a high degree. Although, the major concern for most employers was the lack of certain key personal and / or soft skills in the workplace. These skills according to the response of the alumni are unfortunately not extensively developed within the curricula offered by the university teaching programme. Overall, the results show that graduates are relatively pleased with the teaching received at the various agricultural economics departments. However, some improvement needs to be done to include personal and communication skills which are extensively required by employers. Strong collaborations should be formed between the agricultural economics departments, employers and the Agricultural Economics Association of South Africa (AEASA) in terms of establishing the proper requirements for employable agricultural economists. Students should be allowed to take up a comprehensive role within this collaboration of the universities and workplace, so as to establish solid roles for the profession and produce qualified talents into the industry.

Full text
Abstract:
The potential significance of employers' collective action for economic performance is widely acknowledged, but has not been complemented with corresponding theory-guided research on the probability of collective action and the conditions for effective action. This thesis examines the nature of, the conditions for, and the consequences of employers' collective action on further training, a crucial component of a successful high-skill strategy for industries and nations. The study addresses three core issues of labour economics: transferability of training, skill shortages, and sharing of training costs between employer and employees. The enquiry builds on and adds to previous contributions that analyse transferable training as a collective good. It scrutinises the theoretical foundation and compares its implications with those of human capital theory. Finally, the empirical study of further education and training in four Norwegian industries is offered as a strategic test of these two alternative theories. The collective action perspective shares core assumptions of human capital theory, but integrates the possibility of collective action as a solution to some of the market failures associated with investment in transferable human capital. This alternative view also predicts in what labour market settings such action is likely to occur, building on Olson's work and theories of employers' collective action. The collective action perspective differs crucially from human capital theory by predicting that transferability is endogenous i.e. significantly shaped by employers' individual and collective action, and not simply by technology. Thus, 'endogenous transferability' is a principal link between the constitution of labour markets and employers' choice of training and skill supply strategies. The results confirm the prediction that transferability is 'endogenous'. Moreover, they suggest that employers' collective action is more likely to succeed in ensuring transferability and encouraging employee investment than is using sanctions against employers to promote employer-financed transferable training.

Abstract:
This report explores the implications of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) on the future of the job market in Indonesia. It assesses how jobs, tasks, and skills are being transformed in food and beverage as well as in automotive manufacturing. These two industries have high relevance to 4IR technologies and both are important to Indonesia’s national employment, economic growth, and international competitiveness. They are also likely to benefit considerably from the transformational effect of 4IR, if there is adequate investment in jobs, skills, and training. The report is part of series developed from an Asian Development Bank study on trends in skills demand in Cambodia, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Viet Nam.

Lane, Lerose, R. Gary Hicks, DingXin Cheng, and Erik Updyke. Manual for Thin Asphalt Overlays. Mineta Transportation Institute, October 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.31979/mti.2020.1906.

Full text
Abstract:
This manual presents best practices on project selection, mix design, and construction to ensure a superior product when constructing thin asphalt overlays. Experience shows these treatments provide excellent performance when placed on pavements in fair to good condition using proper construction techniques. Though sometime referred to by other names, thin asphalt overlays have been widely used for pavement preservation throughout the world for over 50 years. Limited infrastructure funding at the local, state, and federal levels has resulted in greater emphasis on the use of pavement preservation techniques to extend pavement life and reduce maintenance costs. Thin asphalt overlays are one of many preventative maintenance treatments. Thin asphalt overlays are placed directly on existing pavement and can range from 1/2 inch to 1 1/2 inches in thickness. Thin asphalt overlays have proven to be an economical means for maintaining and improving the functional condition of an existing pavement since the 1960s. Specifically, this manual provides guidance for engineers regarding where and when to use thin asphalt overlays including: (1) Types and variations of thin overlays; (2) Materials and the design process; (3) Construction; (4) Quality Assurance; and (5) Troubleshooting. This chapter by chapter guidance enables an Agency’s engineers to design and construct a successful thin asphalt overlay project to completion. This manual is one of four new manuals prepared by the California Pavement Preservation Center (CP2Center) using funding from California Senate Bill 1 (SB-1), passed in April 2017. The other three manuals provide detailed design and construction information for (1) chip seals, (2) slurry surfacing, and (3) Cape seals. The creation of these manuals was a task funded entirely from SB-1 monies for the purpose of disseminating training and technical information on highway pavement preservation to local agencies throughout California.
