2. State Fiscal Constraints and Higher Education Spending: The Role of Medicaid and the Business Cycle. Discussion Paper.

Author

Brookings Institution, Washington, DC., Urban Inst., Washington, DC., Kane, Thomas J., Orszag, Peter R., and Gunter, David L.

Abstract

This study used state-level data on expenditures since 1977 to study the forces underlying the shift in state financing of higher education. The focus is on interactions between state appropriations for higher education, other state budget items, especially Medicaid, and the business cycle. The first section documents the substantial decline in state support for higher education over the past two decades. The second section examines the causes of that decline, focusing particularly on expansions in the Medicaid program and the implications for state higher education spending. The third section explores the effects of the business cycle on higher education subsidies. The fourth section briefly examines the impact of declines in state appropriations for higher education on the relative quality of public higher education institutions, which is to be discussed in more detail in a forthcoming companion paper. The principal reason offered for trends in state financing of higher education is fiscal pressure from other state budget requirements. The underlying story that emerges from this analysis is that pressure from other state budget items, especially Medicaid, has been crowding out appropriations for higher education. The pattern from the 1990s suggests that reductions in higher education appropriations are implemented during an economic downturn and then made permanent by failing to raise appropriations substantially during the subsequent economic recovery.

3. Changing Labour Markets and Early Career Outcomes: Labour Market Entry in Europe over the Past Decade. Working Papers = Arbeitspapiere.

Author

Mannheim Univ. (Germany). Mannheimer Zentrum fur Europaische Sozialforschung. and Gangl, Markus

Abstract

An empirical analysis used data for 12 European countries from the 1988-1997 European Community Labour Force Survey to assess the effects of cyclical changes in aggregate economic conditions, changing youth cohort sizes, increasing educational expansion, and structural changes in labor demand on new labor force participants. Emphasis was on the unemployment risks and occupational allocations of these labor market entrants. The study found that unemployment risks have closely followed the evolution of aggregate economic conditions with only a little impact from demographic factors. Changes in occupational allocation, in turn, are much dependent on the relative evolution of educational expansion and professionalization tendencies. In addition, these trends do not affect all educational leavers evenly. The lowest qualified are most heavily affected by cyclical changes in economic conditions, while leavers from university-level education have been more strongly affected by trends of changing occupational attainment. Increasing labor force professionalization is found to contribute to increasing labor market difficulties among the lowest qualified. (Contains 83 references.) (KC)

4. Engineering Skills Formation in Britain: Cyclical and Structural Issues. Towards a National Skills Agenda. Skills Task Force Research Paper 7.

Author

Mason, Geoff

Abstract

Cyclical and structural issues in engineering skills formation in Great Britain were studied through a review of recent employment patterns, income patterns, employment projections, recent trends in education and training, and recent developments in technology and work organization. The review focused on the following issues: (1) the extent and nature of mismatches between the supply of and demand for engineering skills; (2) the extent to which engineering skill problems are cyclical as opposed to structural; and (3) the adequacy of current arrangements for engineering education and training. The following were among the main conclusions: (1) engineering skill problems are most apparent when they manifest in the form of external recruitment difficulties at the peak of each business cycle; (2) long-term trends in training levels and recruitment difficulties in the past 3 decades reflect structural rather than merely cyclical weaknesses in the British system of engineering training; (3) recent changes in markets and work organizations have significantly increased engineering employers' expectations of graduates; and (4) one way to expand modern apprenticeship (MA) numbers would be to develop preapprenticeship courses to prepare underqualified 16- and 17-year-olds for later entry to MA schemes.

5. Job Stability in the United States. EQW Working Papers WP30.

Author

National Center on the Educational Quality of the Workforce, Philadelphia, PA. and Diebold, Francis X.

Abstract

Data assembled from the sequence of Current Population Survey (CPS) tenure supplements for 1973, 1978, 1981, 1983, 1987, and 1991 were analyzed along with demographic characteristics and other variables available from the general CPS to identify changes in job retention rates in the United States throughout the 1980s. The analysis was based on Hall's method of estimating the distribution of eventual job tenure and Ureta's refinement of that procedure, which makes it possible to estimate historical 1-year job retention rates. Consideration was given to the possible effect of business cycles on retention rates. Overall, job retention rates remained fairly stable throughout the 1980s and early 1990s. Disaggregation of the data by current tenure, age, race, sex, education, and occupation did, however, reveal some changes in 4-year retention rates by demographic group that correspond loosely to changes in the wage structure. Retention rates have, for example, declined for high school dropouts and high school graduates relative to college graduates and for blacks relative to whites. Except for the aggregate results for blacks, most of those changes were small and statistically insignificant, however. (Contains 10 tables/figures and 21 references.) (MN)

6. Framing the Questions: A First Look at the Japanese Labor Market. EQW Working Papers.

Author

National Center on the Educational Quality of the Workforce, Philadelphia, PA. and Zemsky, Robert

Abstract

Japan's economic success is clear evidence that purposeful investments in the educational quality of the work force pay major dividends in terms of enhanced productivity and increased competitiveness. The key elements of the Japanese system are, in fact, less than 40 years old. The current recession is a reminder of the transitory nature of economic trends. Within Japan, most discussions of the work force begin with the looming shortage of first-time workers and an expensive surplus of retirees. The Japanese have a relatively limited number of alternatives: increased use of female workers, greater use of older workers, increased number of guest workers, basic redistribution of workers from labor intensive sectors, and accelerated export of production jobs. The tightness of Japanese labor markets is a function of migration patterns that have yielded an economy and population increasingly concentrated in three areas: Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya. Side effects of educational competition include dwindling numbers of students in technical and vocational schools and increased costs of educating children that deter larger families and prolong the effects of the "baby bust." Changes for Japan may include a less rigid labor market, a shift to educational programs outside the firm, and an effort to apply the lessons of manufacturing efficiency to service sector industries. Numerous graphs and charts supplement the text. (YLB)

7. Did Social Safety Net Scholarships Reduce Drop-Out Rates during the Indonesian Economic Crisis? Policy Research Working Paper.

Author

World Bank, Washington, DC. and Cameron, Lisa A.

Abstract

This paper uses regression and matching techniques to evaluate Indonesia's Social Safety Net Scholarships Program. The program aimed to prevent large numbers of children from dropping out of school as a result of the Asian economic crisis of 1998. It was expected that families would find it difficult to keep their children in school and that dropout rates would be high, as they were during the recession of the 1980s. However, dropout rates did not increase markedly, and enrollment rates have remained relatively steady. This paper examines the role played by the scholarship program in producing this result. Data were drawn from a national household survey of 100 rural villages across Indonesia, conducted in 1994 and 5 times in 1997-99. The scholarships were found to have been effective in reducing dropouts at the lower secondary school level by about three percentage points but had no discernable impact at the primary and upper secondary school levels. Analyses also examined how well the program adhered to its documented targeting design and how effective this design was in reaching the poor. The targeting criteria appear to have been followed quite closely, but this did not prevent some households with higher reported per-capita expenditures from receiving the scholarship.

9. Hardship: The Welfare Consequences of Labor Market Problems. A Policy Discussion Paper.

Author

Upjohn (W.E.) Inst. for Employment Research, Kalamazoo, MI.

Abstract

Social statistics may exaggerate the degree of hardship caused by labor market problems. Yet, in many ways social statistics underestimate the degree of hardship caused by extended unemployment, underemployment, and low wages. Therefore, new measures are needed to reassess long-term and cyclical labor market developments, the changing status of minorities, the interrelationships between family patterns and employment problems, the effectiveness of income transfers for the working poor, and alternative macroeconomic policies. The proposed hardship measurement and assessment system consists of three sets of core indicators to measure the adequacy of individual earnings, family earnings, and family incomes in terms of both the numbers who fall below minimum standards and dollar shortfalls relative to these standards. After using these measures to examine hardship trends over the period between 1974 and 1980, researchers determined that the number who suffer severe hardship as a result of labor market problems experienced during the year far exceeds average annual unemployment. In addition, the burdens of hardship are even more maldistributed than are those of unemployment. (Appendixes to the report include technical details of the hardship measures and hardship data for the period from 1974 through 1980.) (MN)

10. Economic Competitiveness and International Knowledge. A Regional Project on the Global Economy and Higher Education in New England. Staff Paper II.

Author

New England Board of Higher Education, Boston, MA. and Groennings, Sven

Abstract

International knowledge and economic competitiveness are linked from three perspectives because appropriate connections are currently not being made between global economic change, the competitiveness of the American economy, and the international aspects of American higher education. Sections provide discussions of the following: an introductory metaphor; international knowledge defined; competitiveness defined; the problem of American competitiveness; New England in the pattern; strategies for competitiveness; lessons from Japan (international knowledge as business strategy); New England leaders' confirmation that international knowledge is a strength; eight linkages of competitiveness and international knowledge (e.g., the need for knowledge to compensate for a weak tradition, linkage of productivity lag and parochialism, increased export activity requiring international knowledge, and global perspective as essential); other studies and reports; and the New England leadership survey. New England leaders perceive a need to refocus what higher education is doing, so there is a challenge ahead for educational leadership and creativity with regard to both business preparation and citizenship education for the global economy. Tables are included. (SM)

12. The Economic Effects of Immigration: Specification of a Model. Impacts of Immigration in California, Policy Discussion Paper.

Author

Urban Inst., Washington, DC. and de Leeuw, Frank

Abstract

Many of the arguments behind efforts to reform this nations's immigration laws allege that immigrants, especially illegal immigrants, take jobs away from native workers, depress wages, and receive public services valued in excess of their tax contributions. To provide a basis for appraising these economic arguments, this paper presents a model for simulating the economic effects of immigration. The model is a theoretical framework, useful for understanding how the various economic responses triggered by immigration relate to one another. Simulation of the model shows that the effects of an increase in annual flow of immigrants are highly sensitive to the substitutability between labor and capital and among different kinds of labor; to the responsiveness of wage changes to unemployment; to the presence or absence of wage rigidity; and to the skill mix of immigrants. Effects are also sensitive to regional behavior, specifically to the response of interregional migration and interregional trade to wage and price differentials. The report contains an overview of the model, simulation of the model, and an agenda for future work on the model. Included are a list of references and related titles. An appendix lists the variables, the equations with the coefficients used for the reference simulation, and the alterations for each of the other simulations. (LBW)

13. The Unemployment Experience of the Workforce. Background Paper No. 15.

Author

Leonard, Jonathan S. and Horrigan, Michael W.

Abstract

Except for the increasing labor force shares of youth in the early 1970s, the impact of the changing age and sex composition of the labor force did not make a significant contribution to rising unemployment rates between 1969 and 1982. When compared to the recoveries over that period, however, the current recovery is marked by a significant impact of the changing shares of different age groups, especially the declining share of teenagers. In general, the movement of the baby-boom cohort into prime age groups with their relatively lower rates of unemployment has tended to decrease the natural rate of unemployment. During 1969-88, the average level of educational attainment has increased. Job loss was the dominant reason for unemployment from 1962 to 1988. Although there was a dramatic decrease in the labor force share of the manufacturing sector and a relative increase in the service-producing sector, industry decomposition of the labor force suggests these shifts did not have a significant impact on the secularly rising unemployment rates between 1969 and 1982. Across that period there was a dramatic increase in the proportion of individuals who are long-term unemployed, an increase that has not been reversed by the current upward trend. That increase has been due to increased representation of 25- to 44-year-old males and people who have lost jobs. No single industry has experienced disproportionate gains or losses in its share of total long-term unemployment. Unemployment may be reduced by increasing aggregate demand through fiscal policy, increasing investments in education and training, improving information on job availability and persistence, and increasing the flexible use of labor within firms.

Abstract

This contribution examines Sismondi's money, banking and credit theories and explores his public debt analysis (1803–1838) to connect the instability of market economy with his vision of the social contract. A detailed analysis is offered of the evolution in Sismondi's opinion on the nature of money and the banking system, and the part it plays in his trade cycle theory. Sismondi's monetary thought is then contextualised with a discussion of his policy-mix in relation to the Napoleonic war financing in Continental Europe. Connections with the upcoming flood of literature in England on the bullion controversy are also offered. Remarks are then suggested on the progressive emergence of an "art of public borrowing" according to which the people who provide the money also control the government. Finally, some reflections are proposed on the explicit connection established by Sismondi between budget deficits, the (ab-)use of inconvertible paper money and the partial collapse of the social contract initiated by banks and the governments using it. The entrenched instability of a market economy (discussed in an earlier article) is reinforced by the banking/credit system that works along similar line than any wealth-producing firm. Hence, thanks to the financial system, wealth does grow faster but at the expense of social justice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

44. Economic Long Waves and Higher Education. AIR 1987 Annual Forum Paper.

Author

Sharp, Bobby H. and Nichols, James O.

Abstract

Economic long wave research is reviewed and related to major transitions facing higher education. The focus is on economic forecasting as one type of environmental scanning. The Russian economist Kondratieff produced statistical evidence of a long economic wave. The Kondratieff wave appears to be a 45- to 60-year cycle of upswings and downswings in industrialized economies. According to long wave chronology, the late 1980s may represent the final stage of a prosperity plateau before entering about two decades of economic downswing. Attention is directed to the effects of long waves on: college enrollments, revenues and expenditures, educational delivery systems, and governmental involvement. The economic long wave model offers one framework for economic forecasting and for interpreting social, political, and economic developments. It is suggested that a number of undifferentiated, overbuilt, and poorly-managed colleges and universities will be bankrupted by the forces behind a lengthy economic downswing. Many other institutions will survive and succeed during a lengthy economic downturn, due to practices such as innovative and cost-effective educational delivery systems (e.g., tele-learning), and nurturing highly focused constituencies. 9 references.

Author

Prewitt, Sidney A.

Abstract

An economic model of the effects of colleges on their communities was developed. The Texas Input-Output Model was modified into a higher education budgetary model.

The output measures were sales and employment. While the model was developed to illustrate the statewide effects of budgetary changes for all Texas colleges and universities, a fictitious urban and rural university were used for illustration.
