Abstract:
This Review proceeds as follows. Part I summarizes The Age of Dignity. Part II explains how this segment of immigrant workers challenges the productivity/affinity binary that dominates immigration law’s formal migration rules. Part III shows how this binary sets up dual migration streams, both of which could account for future flows of care workers. As Part III shows, the example of the eldercare industry nicely illustrates how the employment based and family-based migration systems simply represent two different ways of filling labor needs. I then conclude.

Abstract:
The success of the company is determined by the human resources so that the company needs to meet the needs of employees so employees can work productively. Employee's punctuality is the ability of employees to complete their tasks effectively and efficiently. Employee productivity can be affected by several factors including compensation, work discipline and motivation. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of compensation, work discipline and motivation to employee productivity. The research was conducted at Single Fin Restaurant & Bar Bali. The number of respondents in this study was 79 people. In the data collection is done through the spread of questionnaires using Likert scale data measurement method. The analysis technique used in this research is multiple linear regression. The results of this study showed that each variable of compensation, work discipline and motivation partially have a positive and significant effect on employee productivity at Single Fin Restaurant & Bar Bali. Keywords: compensation, work discipline, motivation, employee productiviy

Abstract:
Profiter des avantages d’un monde de plus en plus mondialisé et plus accessible n’est pas un résultat évident pour tous les acteurs économiques. Les disparités entre les régions, les entreprises et les professions se sont creusées, entraînant des inégalités croissantes entre les personnes. Cette thèse examine comment les entreprises, qui sont l'un des canaux de la mondialisation qui transmettent leurs impacts entre pays, réagissent, s'adaptent et divergent en termes de performances. L’investigation empirique présentée dans cette thèse a pour objectif de comprendre les futures propositions de politique publique en expliquant comment les entreprises réagissent à la mondialisation et à la concurrence, comment elles choisissent leur main-d’œuvre et comment les politiques et les chocs influent sur leur performance sur le marché étranger. L’objectif est de comprendre, dans quatre chapitres, comment les entreprises réagissent à la présence multinationale ou à la présence d’entreprises très productives et « frontalières 2», et comment les entreprises choisissent leurs employés, en particulier la main-d’œuvre immigrée face à une demande étrangère accrue, et enfin, fournir une évaluation de l’évolution du coût du travail sur les résultats à l’exportation des entreprises.Bien que les résultats agrégés importent, il n’est pas suffisant d’examiner le comportement d’une entreprise moyenne. La répartition des entreprises selon leurs caractéristiques est très asymétrique et le respect de l'hétérogénéité des entreprises peut également permettre une meilleure compréhension de la compétitivité. Les petites entreprises manufacturières ont tendance à souffrir de plus de concurrence et leur productivité est associée à un déclin lorsque les industries manufacturières étrangères s'installent dans la même région. Les grandes et moyennes entreprises ont généralement tendance à accroître leur productivité grâce aux effets de contagion intersectoriels de la présence étrangère, ce qui montre bien que les entreprises plus productives et bien établies sont plus susceptibles de tirer parti des relations possibles avec leurs fournisseurs ou d'un marché plus vaste. Les entreprises plus proches de la frontière technologique sont plus productives. Toutefois, subissant le choc de l’entrée d’une nouvelle entreprise productive, la productivité d’une entreprise moyenne chute, ce qui est conforme à la littérature théorique qui prédit que les entreprises les moins productives quittent le marché et que les ressources sont ensuite réaffectées à des entreprises plus productives. Les entreprises ont également tendance à faire des choix en ce qui concerne leurs effectifs, ce qui leur permettra finalement de mieux performer. En particulier, les entreprises choisissent d'embaucher un employé immigré lorsqu'elles ont la possibilité d'accroître leurs exportations. Cela est dû principalement au fait que les immigrants peuvent fournir des connaissances sur les marchés étrangers qui sont autrement difficiles à obtenir. Enfin, l’augmentation des coûts de main-d’œuvre se traduit par une valeur à l’exportation inférieure aux entreprises, comme le montre l’expérience naturelle d’une politique d’avantages fiscaux sur les heures supplémentaires des entreprises.Dans l’ensemble, les petites entreprises et les enterprises moins productives sont promptes à subir les chocs négatifs des pratiques d’entreprises mondialisées ou sont les moins susceptibles de tirer un bénéfice positif de l’exposition aux réseaux mondiaux. Cependant, les entreprises sont des entités dynamiques et ont la capacité de progresser et de modifier ou d’améliorer leurs pratiques, y compris la composition de leurs effectifs. Le gouvernement contribue à la dynamique des entreprises et les politiques axées sur la compétitivité des entreprises peuvent avoir un impact, en particulier si l'entreprise est de petite taille
Reaping benefits from increasingly globalized and more accessible world is not an evident outcome for all economic actors. Heterogeneous consequences of globalization have become apparent within countries over past two decades. Disparities have expanded between regions, firms, and occupations, implying growing inequalities among people. This thesis investigates how firms, being one of the channels of globalization transmitting its impacts across countries, react, adjust, and diverge in terms of performance. The empirical investigation of micro-level data on a firm and a worker level aims to provide understanding for future public policy suggestions by giving insights into how firms respond to globalized and competitive environment, how they choose their labor force, and how the policies and shocks influence their performance on the foreign market. The objective is to give some understanding, in four chapters, on how firms react to multinational presence or presence of very productive, “frontier” firms in their vicinity, and how firms choose their employees, especially immigrant workforce when facing higher foreign demand, and lastly, to provide an evaluation of change in labor cost on export performance of the firms. While aggregated outcomes matter, looking at the behavior of an average firm is insufficient. The distribution of the firms by their characteristics is highly skewed, and respecting heterogeneity of firms can also lead to better understanding of competitiveness. Productivity and employment of small firms in services is associated with small, but statistically significant increases when more foreign firms locate in the firm’s vicinity, implying positive knowledge and technological spillovers from foreign presence. However, small manufacturing firms tend to suffer from more competition, and their productivity is associated with a decline when foreign manufacturing locates in the same region. Mainly medium-sized and large firms tend to increase productivity from cross-sector spillovers of foreign presence, which points out to the fact that more productive and established firms are more likely to benefit from possible supplier relationships or larger market. The firms closer to the technological frontier are more productive. However, experiencing a shock of entry of a new productive firm, the productivity drops for an average firm, which is in line with theoretical literature that predicts that the least productive firms leave the market and resources are then reallocated towards more productive firms. Firms also tend to make choices with respect to their workforce that will ultimately make them perform better. In particular, firms choose to hire an immigrant employee when facing a possibility to increase their exports. Both skilled and unskilled immigrants are hired, while firms do not deviate from their standard trends of hiring low-skilled native employees, and only slightly increase their population of skilled native employees. This happens mainly because immigrants can supply knowledge about foreign markets that is otherwise difficult to obtain. Lastly, increasing labor costs translates into lower export value of firms as shown using a natural policy experiment of fiscal advantages on overtime hours of firms. Yet, an opposite shock of lowering the labor cost has no significant impact on exports of large firms, while small firms are sensitive to the shock and export more.All in all, small and less productive firms are prompt to experience negative shocks from practices of globalized firms or are the least likely to benefit positively from exposure to global networks. However, firms are dynamic entities and have capacity to progress and change or improve their practices, including workforce composition. The government plays role in helping the dynamics of firms, and the policies focused on competitiveness of firms can have impact especially if the firm is of small size

Abstract:
Cette thèse étudie différents aspects de la dynamique des firmes, à la fois de manière théoriqueet empirique. Tous les chapitres utilisent largement différentes bases de données microéconomiquespour tester les prédictions théoriques. Le premier chapitre s’intéresse au premiumde l’innovation, c’est à dire la réaction du salaire des employés d’une entreprise qui augmenteson intensité de R&D et qui devient ainsi plus proche de la frontière technologique. L’évaluationde cette réponse se fait en utilisant une base de donnée sur le salaire de 1% de des travailleursbasés au Royaume-Uni. Le second chapitre s’intéresse à la réponse de l’innovation et de laproductivité des firmes à un choc de demande à l’export, considérant les entreprises françaisesayant au moins un brevet, et utilisant pour cela des bases de données à la fois d’origine fiscaleou provenant des douanes. Enfin le troisième chapitre étudie le rôle des coûts d’ajustementdes facteurs de production, et en particulier de l’immobilier des entreprises, sur la dynamiquede l’emploi des entreprises à la suite d’un choc de productivité. Ce chapitre utilise un largeéchantillon d’entreprise mono établissement française.Pris tous les trois, ces chapitres étudient différentes dimensions de la réponse des firmes à unchoc de demande ou de productivité, que ce soit une réponse en termes d’emploi, de salaire,d’innovation ou de taille
This thesis studies different aspects of firm dynamics both theoretically and empirically. All chapters extensively rely to large microeconomic dataset that are used to test theoretical predictions.First chapter looks at the innovation premium, that is the response to workers’ wage when their firm increases its R&D intensity and therefore becomes closer to the technological frontier. This response is evaluated using matched employers-employees data with information on the wage of 1% of all UK based workers. Second chapter focuses on the response to an export demand shock to a firm’s innovation and productivity looking at all French firms with at least one patent and using both fiscal and customs micro data. Finally, the third chapter considers the role of factor adjustment costs, especially on corporate real-estate, on firms employment dynamism following a productivity shock. This chapter uses a large sample of single-establishment French firms. Taken together, these three chapters explore different dimension of the response to firms to a demand and/or a productivity shock, either in terms of employment and wage, or in terms of innovation and size

Abstract:
Software project management is one of the most critical activities in modern software development projects. Without realistic and objective management, the software development process cannot be managed in an effective way. There are three general problems in project management: effort estimation is not accurate, actual status is difficult to understand, and projects are often geographically dispersed. Estimating software development effort is one of the most challenging problems in project management. Various attempts have been made to solve the problem; so far, however, it remains a complex problem. The error rate of a renowned effort estimation model can be higher than 30% of the actual productivity. Therefore, inaccurate estimation results in poor planning and defies effective control of time and budgets in project management. In this research, we have built a productivity prediction model which uses productivity data from an ongoing project to reevaluate the initial productivity estimate and provides managers a better productivity estimate for project management. The actual status of the software project is not easy to understand due to problems inherent in software project attributes. The project attributes are dispersed across the various CASE (Computer-Aided Software Engineering) tools and are difficult to measure because they are not hard material like building blocks. In this research, we have created a productivity console which incorporates an expert system to measure project attributes objectively and provides graphical charts to visualize project status. The productivity console uses project attributes gathered in KB (Knowledge Base) of PAMPA II (Project Attributes Monitoring and Prediction Associate) that works with CASE tools and collects project attributes from the databases of the tools. The productivity console and PAMPA II work on a network, so geographically dispersed projects can be managed via the Internet without difficulty.

Abstract:
Cette thèse contribue à la littérature théorique et empirique concernant l’hétérogénéité des entreprises et le commerce international. La partie théorique analyse les conséquences de la libéralisation du commerce lorsque les entreprises sont hétérogènes et les pays asymétriques. La partie empirique discute le sens de causalité de la relation entre la performance des entreprises et leur statut international. Les entreprises sont-elles plus performantes parce qu’elles exportent et/ou importent ? Ou sont-ce les entreprises les plus performantes qui s’auto-sélectionnent sur le marché international ? Les deux hypothèses ne s’excluent pas mutuellement et ce travail les accrédite toutes deux
This thesis contributes to both theoretical and empirical aspects of the literature on firm heterogeneity in international trade. On the theoretical side, I provide insights of the consequences of trade liberalisation when firms are heterogeneous and countries are asymmetric. On the empirical side, I discuss the causality of the relationship between performances and trading status of firms. Do more productive firms self-select into international markets? Do firms become more productive because they enter international markets? These hypotheses are not mutually exclusive and my work provides support for both of them

This research establishes methodology to measure morale as a function of productivity. Relationships between morale, ability, training, and experience are linked to productivity so that managers can incentivize employee productivity more precisely. The data from this survey are effective at the individual level, but are more useful on an aggregate scale, using a theoretical regression. The survey and regression are theoretical, and provide managers valuable information about employees’ productivity and factors that affect it over time. Follow-on research should test the survey’s viability, adjust data collection procedures and the regression equation, and examine the cost-benefit analysis of modeling morale.

Abstract:
Corporate leaders are expected to engage in corporate social responsibility by some stakeholders, but there is no consistent evidence that corporate social performance relates to financial performance. Grounded in instrumental stakeholder theory, the purpose of this correlational study was to examine the relationship among energy productivity, greenhouse gas productivity, and return on equity. The 2016 Newsweek Green Ranking U.S. 500 was the population for this study, which consisted of the largest companies in the United States with the highest corporate social performance scores. The secondary data were collected from Newsweek.com and Morningstar.com for this study. The multiple linear regression was used in the data analysis for the study. This study's model was F(2,104) = 1.028, p = .361, Adjusted R2 = .001 and represented that there was not a statistically significant relationship among energy productivity, greenhouse gas productivity, and return on equity. The implications for positive social change include the potential to provide corporate leaders with additional evidence to inform fact-based decisions related to the strategic allocation of resources to manage corporate energy productivity and greenhouse productivity. Effectively managing energy productivity and greenhouse gas productivity could contribute to reducing global warming, which would improve the quality of lives of U.S residents.

Abstract:
Aquesta tesis tracta sobre les diferències en la productivitat agregada del treball entre diferents economies. Gran part de la diversitat en rendes que observem entre països té a veure amb les diferències en productivitat. Per tant, sembla clar que part del patiment humà podria ser alleugerit augmentant l'eficiència en la producció. Aquest objectiu requereix tenir una idea qualitativa i quantitativa de les barreres que ens separen del seu assoliment. Evidentment, la productivitat ha sigut quelcom estudiat pels economistes d'ençà l'Economia inicià el seus passos. No obstant, malgrat la seva importància, o potser precisament per a la seva importància, aquesta àrea de recerca encara ofereix un gran marge d'exploració. En els següents capítols tractaré aquest tema des de diversos angles i utilitzant diferents tècniques però sempre amb el mateix objectiu. El primer capítol, titulat Comptabilitat en el Desenvolupament i Béns Intermedis, gira entorn a la pregunta de si els béns intermedis són part important en explicar les diferències, relatives i agregades, en la productivitat entre països. Tres observacions suggereixen que així és: (i) els béns intermedis són relativament més cars en els països pobres; (ii) les indústries productores de béns demanden béns intermedis amb més intensitat que aquelles que produeixen serveis; (iii) les indústries productores de béns són més prominents com a oferents de béns intermedis en els països pobres. Construeixo un model de creixement multisectorial estàndard que té en compte els tres fets anomenats anteriorment per mostrar que la producció ineficient de béns intermedis afecta negativament la productivitat agregada i augmenta la ràtio de preus entre béns i serveis. Aplicant el model a les dades dels països de renda mitjana i alta, trobo que aquells països més pobres tan sols són una mica més ineficients produint béns que serveis però, en canvi, són molt ineficients produint béns intermedis respecte béns finals i serveis. Si tots els països tinguessin la mateixa eficiència produint béns intermedis que té l'economia d'EE.UU., el model prediu que la diferencia de productivitat entre entre els països de renda més baixa i els de renda més alta, de la mostra, es reduiria en gairebé dos terços mentre les diferencies en el ràtio de preus finals entre països pràcticament desapareixeria. El segon capítol, titulat Delegació de Gestió i Productivitat Agregada, proposa un nou mecanisme per explicar perquè les empreses dels països de renda baixa estan mal gestionades, i quantifica la pèrdua de productivitat resultant. Primer, presento evidència empírica sobre la significativa correlació entre la proporció de treballadors dedicats a la gestió i les garanties de compliment de contractes entre països. En segon lloc, construeixo un model tractable que captura els avantatges de delegar tasques en grans organitzacions. En el model també té lloc un problema de risc moral entre el propietari de la companyia i els gestors de la mateixa. Quan les garanties contractuals no son efectives, és a dir, quan els gestors poden apoderar-se de rendes empresarials, això limita la capacitat de la companyia per créixer i arribar al nivell òptim de gestors. En tercer lloc, utilitzo una versió calibrada del model per a mesurar l'efecte de reduir les garanties per al compliment de contractes. Comparat amb la referència en el nivell de garanties contractuals d'EE.UU., cap tipus de garantia redueix la proporció agregada de gestors en 10 punts percentuals, caracteristic de països amb un nivell de renda d'un desè respecte EE.UU. La pèrdua associada en productivitat es, aproximadament, de 18 punts percentuals. Estadístics addicionals sobre la mida mitjana de les empreses, l'autoocupació i la dispersió de la productivitat ofereixen validació addicional dels resultats. El tercer capítol, titulat Imposició Progresiva i Productivitat Agregada i escrit conjuntament amb en Tomaz Cajner, ofereix una teoria sobre com la imposició progressiva del treball pot afectar la decisió individual d'esdevenir emprenedors o ser treballadors assalariats. Els emprenedors viuen en un entorn amb friccions per a la recerca d'empreses. Un cop fet l'emparellament, s'assumeix una negociació sobre els beneficis del mateix. Quan els impostos són més progressius, aquells projectes més arriscats esdevenen menys lucratius i, per tant, la cua dreta de la distribució dels ingressos es redueix. S'utilitza el model per entrellaçar tres fenòmens macroeconomics importants que han tingut lloc les ultimes dues o tres dècades en els països desenvolupats: el descens de la imposició marginal del treball per les rendes més altes, l'augment de la desigualtat i la reobertura de l'escletxa de productivitat entre EE.UU. i Europa. Una versió parametritzada del model és capaç de generar els dos últims fets com a resultat d'un descens de la imposició sobre el treball de les rendes més altes. No obstant, els resultats quantitatius del model no estan d'acord amb les dades observades.
This thesis is concerned with differences in aggregate labor productivity across economies. Much of the income disparities that we observe across countries today are related to productivity differences. It follows that much human suffering could be alleviated by raising the efficiency of production. This requires an idea of the qualitative and quantitative significance of potential barriers. Unsurprisingly, productivity has been studied by economists for as long as economics has been around but despite its importance - or perhaps rather because of it - this research area applied to the aggregate economy still offers a huge field open to exploration. In the following chapters I tackle the issue at hand from several distinct angles and using a variety of techniques, but always with the same aim. The first chapter, entitled Development Accounting with Intermediate Goods, asks whether intermediate goods help explain relative and aggregate productivity differences across countries. Three observations suggest they do: (i) intermediates are relatively expensive in poor countries; (ii) goods industries demand intermediates more intensively than service industries; (iii) goods industries are more prominent intermediate suppliers in poor countries. I build a standard multisector growth model accommodating these features to show that inefficient intermediate production strongly depresses aggregate productivity and increases the price ratio of final goods to services. Applying the model to data for middle and high income countries, I find that poorer countries are only modestly less efficient at producing goods than services, but substantially less efficient at producing intermediate relative to final goods and services. If all countries had the intermediate production efficiency of the US, the aggregate productivity gap between the lowest and highest income countries in the sample is predicted to shrink by roughly two thirds while cross-country differences in the final price ratio would virtually vanish. The second chapter, entitled Managerial Delegation and Aggregate Productivity, proposes a novel mechanism to answer why firms in low income countries are badly managed, and quantifies the resulting productivity loss. First, I present empirical evidence on a significant positive correlation between the share of managerial workers and contract enforcement across countries. Second, I construct a tractable model that captures benefits to managerial delegation in large organizations. The model also features an agency problem between the owner of a firm and its middle management. Ineffective contract enforcement, allowing middle managers to steal from the firm, constrains firm size by limiting the efficient delegation of managerial authority. Third, I use a calibrated version of the model to measure the effect of lowering contract enforcement. Compared to the benchmark of US contract enforcement, no enforcement decreases the aggregate share of managerial workers by about 10 percentage points, typical of countries with income levels of about one-tenth of the US. The associated loss in aggregate labor productivity is roughly 18 percentage points. Auxiliary statistics on the mean firm size, self-employment and productivity dispersion offer additional empirical validation of these results. The third chapter, entitled Progressive Income Taxation and Aggregate Productivity and co-authored with Tomaz Cajner, offers a theory on how the progressivity of the labor tax may affect individuals’ decision to manage firms or work as production workers. Managers must be matched to firms in an environment featuring search frictions and the pair bargain over the surplus from the match. A higher tax progressivity makes it less lucrative to create and improve risky projects as it compresses the right tail of outcomes. The model is used to link three prominent macroeconomic phenomena occurring over the last two to three decades in the developed world: the lowering of the top marginal labor taxes, the rise in inequality and the renewed opening of the aggregate labor productivity gap between Europe and the US. A parameterized version of the model is capable of delivering the concomitant occurrence of the latter two phenomena as a result of the lowering of top labor income taxes. The quantitative effects predicted by the model, however, cannot match the data.
