Measuring Common Goods: First Steps Toward Validation
digital
Year:
2020
Based upon the theoretical framework proposed by Nebel and Arbesu-Verduzco (in this issue) about common good and its indicators, we summarily expound an instrument designed for measuring common good and social dynamics that was applied in the municipality of Atlixco, Puebla, and then we discuss a couple of models – Model 1 and Model 2 – arranged after it. We report that Model 1, the result of said application, presents some issues in spite of having good values of reliability. Hence, in an effort to enhance the initial instrument we show that Model 2, an adaptation of Model 1, presents a good fit plus good internal consistency...

digital
Year:
2020
In the last five years the Italian manufacturing sector has reduced the growth gap vis-à-vis the euro area, in the face of a continuing growth differential in the service sector. The improvement of cost ompetitiveness is among the factors that led to this recovery in the manufacturing sector...
The ‘‘Big 5’’ Personality Traits and Union Membership:
An Empirical Analysis
digital
Year:
2020
We study how individuals with different personality traits exhibit different personal propensity to unionise. While traditional models of trade union membership state that workers are rational decision makers and highlight benefits and costs of union membership, a growing literature investigates the effect of other factors on individuals’ decisions...
Sorting, Social Comparison and Women’s Job Satisfaction
digital
Year:
2020
Using linked employer-employee data for the UK we address competing explanations for gender gaps in job satisfaction. Previous studies have rationalized the puzzling greater satisfaction of women either by pointing out gender differences in competitive attitudes, or through differences in sorting across jobs and industries. Our data allow us to test both explanations within a unified framework. The employer-employee structure of the data enables us to control for workplace unobserved heterogeneity that drives sorting...
