摘要:

ABSTRACTThis article contributes to an established and growing literature in which a production function is estimated for educational institutions in order to investigate the relationship between school characteristics and performance.Existing studies in this area have generally met with only limited success. The present study, through its application of a statistical model to comprehensive data drawn from the UK private sector of education identifies a wide range of school characteristics which significantly influence performance.The article offers meaningful results and guidelines for further development of techniques in the investigation of a topic which is relevant to both producers and consumers of education.

摘要:

ABSTRACTThe properties of the labour market are such that moderate employment shifts can be accommodated by, and might even encourage, the natural movement of labour between jobs. But the scale and extent of employment adjustments in recent years has produced an altogether different response. Voluntary movement has fallen dramatically as unemployment has risen. Redundancies have increased in importance in absolute and relative terms. The pace of adjustment in recent years has reduced the natural flexibility of the labour market and has created a serious impediment to the optimal distribution of labour. Moreover, an economic doctrine which emphasizes the importance of flexibility and personal choice in the labour market, has effectively reduced both.

摘要:

ABSTRACTThis paper examines the role of demand uncertainty in influencing a firm's mark‐up pricing decision. With no uncertainty the marginalist approach represents this mark‐up as inversely and solely determined by the elasticity of demand. Here it is shown that the introduction of uncertainty does not alter this simple dependency for a risk neutral firm. For a risk averse firm, however, the mark‐up is shown to depend on a range of factors, including the level of fixed and variable costs and the level of expected demand. It is argued that such variability of margin is more in keeping with observed beha
