Institutions, technological change and wage differentials between skilled and unskilled workers : theory and evidence from Europe / Lorenzo Corsini -- Career and wage dynamics : evidence from linked employer-employee data / Antti Kauhanen, Sami Napari -- Position-specific promotion rates and the 'fast track' effect / Adam Clemens -- The effect of variable pay schemes on workplace absenteeism / Konstantinos Pouliakas, Nikolaos Theodoropoulos -- Adverse selection and incentives in an early retirement program / Kenneth T. Whelan ... [et al.] -- The mental cost of pension loss : the experience of Russia's pensioners during transition / Penka Kovacheva, Xiaotong Niu -- Can long-term cohabiting and marital unions be incentivized? / Audrey Light, Yoshiaki Omori -- Indian entrepreneurial success in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom / Robert W. Fairlie ... [et al.].

This volume contains eight new and innovative research articles relevant to researchers and policy makers. Each chapter deals with an aspect of human welfare and is authored by an expert in the field. One deals with how technological change affects the distribution of earnings, two deal with how workers advance through corporate hierarchy, four deal with how incentives motivate workers, and the final chapter deals with how one immigrant group is far more successful than even the native population. Among the questions answered are: What accounts for the relative rise in skilled worker salaries? Which workers advance more quickly up the corporate ladder? Are workers hired from outside the company as successful as internally promoted workers? Does performance-based pay affect worker absenteeism? Do retirement incentives to workers really help the firm? Do unexpected decreases in retirement income decrease retiree life satisfaction? Do more stringent divorce laws increase cohabitation? What causes immigrants to really succeed in their new country?.
