The elasticity of labor demand and the minimum wage

We show that, contrary to widespread belief, low-pay workers do not generally prefer that the minimum wage rate be increased until the labor demand is unitary elastic. Rather, there exists a critical value of elasticity of labor demand so that increases in the minimum wage rate make low-pay workers better off for higher elasticities, but worse off for lower elasticities. This critical value decreases with unemployment benefits and increases with workers’ risk aversion. We also show that in some countries the benefits for long-term unemployed are so low that workers would probably prefer that the minimum wage rate be decreased. I thank the anonymous referees for helpful suggestions.

紧盯强军目标，大力培育官兵尚武精神

尚武精神是推动国防和军队建设的不竭精神动力。长期的和平环境，在官兵身上不同程度滋生了一些“和平积习”，尚武精神弱化。坚持不懈强化当代革命军人尚武精神，是一项亟待解决的重要课题。当前，紧盯强军目标，大力培育官兵尚武精神，就要坚定信念、铸牢军魂，确立尚武的政治方向；爱军精武、提高素质，锻造尚武的职业品格；依法治军、从严治军，夯实尚武的作风基础。     

计算气井储量新方法

提出了采用弹性二相法结合物质平衡方程作为计算全井储量的新方法。弹性二相法主要用于气藏开发进入拟稳态以后，要求压力和产量的测量精确，气藏的工作制度对弹性二相法储量也有很大影响，其计算可靠程度已被矿场实际证实；物质平衡方程在开发初期计算精度不高。将弹性二相法与物质平衡法结合建立多目标优化函数，该方法既能很好地应用弹性二相法，又能体现物质平衡，使得该方法适用范围更广，计算结果更可靠，对致密气藏具有更好的推广应用价值。通过实例气井动态储量进行的验证对比表明，该方法在理论上是合理的，实际验证是可行的。

娄底市商业性健身俱乐部私人教练需求分析

为了提高私人教练的整体素质,促进私人健身教练的市场发展。运用文献资料法、问卷调查法、访谈法、数理统计等研究方法,对娄底市商业性私人健身教练的需求进行了研究。结果显示：娄底市私人健身教练以文化程度中等偏低,工作经验薄弱的男性教练为主体,年龄结构趋于年轻化。有63.6%学员需要私人教练提供指导,选择私教的学员仅占7.5%,他们的态度与行为存在较大的反差,这与学员对私教认识,经济收入,对健康的强烈程度,私教市场培育与管理等影响因素分不开。     

劳动力缺失背景下新型农村养老保险需求及其影响因素研究

新型农村养老保险试点工作的全面开展、制度优化完善必须充分考虑农村现实状况和农民实际需求,本文以劳动力缺失、老龄化加剧、家庭养老功能弱化为背景,对陕西省西安市10个涉农区县开展实地调查,通过问卷设计与数据收集,获取1156个有效样本,综合运用描述性统计、相关分析和二分类、多分类逻辑回归分析方法,从参保意愿和支付能力的二维视角实证研究新型农村养老保险需求及其影响因素,结果表明：养老风险意识、新农保政策了解程度、新农保政策效果和缴费原则认可程度、耕地面积、期望养老金额是新农保参保意愿的显著影响因素,而表征经济状况的农民家庭年总收入、年基本支出与新农保支付能力之间具有显著的因果关系。     

Chapter 4: Research on the Integration of Employee Assistance,Work-Life and Wellness Services

SUMMARY

This article will focus on the research exploring the degree to which organizational integration of Employee Assistance, Work/Family and Wellness Programs has evolved since the early 1990s. The first study reviewed is the National Study of EAP and Work/Family Programs conducted in 1994 by Boston University's Center on Work and Family in which 100 of the top family friendly companies were inter viewed. Two major studies conducted under the guidance of the Employee Assistance Professional Association (EAPA) are then reviewed. The Phase I research conducted in 2001 was a large-scale survey of the professionals in fields of EAP and Work-life (N = 950). The Phase II research conducted in 2002 was comprised of two stages: A pilot study surveying vendors in the EAP and Work-life fields (N = 213) and a qualitative study consisting of in-depth interviews with vendors from all three professions (N = 79). The overall theme from this body of research is one of dramatically increasing movement and market demand for some form of collaboration/integration of service delivery. Finally, the chapter offers recommendations for further research regarding integration of services as well as implications for the professional fields.
