The Insider-Outsider Theory of Employment and Unemployment

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Lindbeck, Assar, PUBLISHER: MIT Press (MA), This book provides an accessible, balanced account of the insider-outsider theory of labor market activity. It focuses on how "insiders" (experienced incumbent employees whose jobs are protected by various labor turnover costs) get market power, what they do with that power, and how their activities affect the "outsiders" (who are either unemployed or work in the informal sector). The book examines the effect of insiders' activities on wages, employment, and unemployment, discusses the associated policy implications, and relates the insider-outsider theory to other theories of labor market activity. The central part of the book consists of a series of previously published articles that have been edited to convey a single coherent account of a theory of unemployment that is growing in popularity. Chapters are preceded by overviews summarizing the main ideas and relating them to the book's underlying theme. The concluding chapter points out the predictions and policy implications of the theory. Lindbeck and Snower have taken care to make the main ideas accessible to a wide audience, without sacrificing analytical rigor."The insider-Outside Theory of Employment and Unemployment is concerned with both the causes and consequences of insider power. It emphasizes unemployment in chapters that survey modern unemployment theories and provide a formal comparison of the insider-outsider and efficiency-wage explanations of involuntary unemployment. Other topics include labor turnover costs (how they arise from insiders' activities and from job security legislation, and how they give rise to insider power), Union activities (how unions can amplify labor turnover costs, and provide insiders with newtools of rent-creation, such as strikes and work-to-rule actions), and the effect that insider activities can have in perpetuating the effects of temporary macroeconomic shocks. Assar Lindbeck is Professor of International Economics and Director of the Institute of International Economics at the University of Stockholm. Dennis J. Snower is Professor of Economics, Birbeck College, University of London.

Status Signals: A Sociological Study of Market Competition

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Podolny, Joel M., PUBLISHER: Princeton University Press, Why are elite jewelers reluctant to sell turquoise, despite strong demand? Why did leading investment bankers shun junk bonds for years, despite potential profits? "Status Signals" is the first major sociological examination of how concerns about status affect market competition. Starting from the basic premise that status pervades the ties producers form in the marketplace, Joel Podolny shows how anxieties about status influence whom a producer does (or does not) accept as a partner, the price a producer can charge, the ease with which a producer enters a market, how the producer's inventions are received, and, ultimately, the market segments the producer can (and should) enter. To achieve desired status, firms must offer more than strong past performance and product quality--they must also send out and manage social and cultural signals. Through detailed analyses of market competition across a broad array of industries--including investment banking, wine, semiconductors, shipping, and venture capital--Podolny demonstrates the pervasive impact of status. Along the way, he shows how corporate strategists, tempted by the profits of a market that would negatively affect their status, consider not only whether to enter the market but also whether they can alter the public's perception of the market. Podolny also examines the different ways in which a firm can have status. Wal-Mart, for example, has low status among the rich as a place to shop, but high status among the rich as a place to invest. "Status Signals" provides a systematic understanding of market dynamics that have--until now--not been fully appreciated.

China and the Global Political Economy

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Breslin, Shaun, PUBLISHER: Palgrave MacMillan, In a relatively short period, the growth of investment to China and the resulting increase in Chinese trade has resulted in a reconfiguration of the East Asian regional economy, and is now altering financial and resource flows across the globe. This book explains how this transformation has come about, focusing on the interplay between domestic politics in China and the transition from socialism on one hand, and the ongoing evolution of global or transnational production networks on the other. It shows that while events in China have considerable global significance, this importance does not necessarily equate with the "power" that some already ascribe to China. Whilst recognizing that global economic integration has contributed to the reduction of poverty, it also shows how it has contributed to the emergence of new social cleavages and the changing basis of communist party rule.
