Autor: Horacio Matos-Díaz, James F. Ragan, Dong Li
Publikováno v: Eastern Economic Journal. 37(4):470-487
In making admission decisions, many colleges have de-emphasized standardized test scores. Using data for seven cohorts of applicants to the University of Puerto Rico, we assess the ability of test scores and other proxies of academic potential to pre

Do student evaluations of teaching depend on the distribution of expected grade?
Autor: Horacio Matos-Díaz, James F. Ragan
Publikováno v: Education Economics. 18:317-330
Prior research suggests that student evaluations of teaching may depend on the average grade expected in a class. We hypothesize that, because of risk aversion, student ratings also depend on the distribution of expected grades. As predicted, student

DOES RAIDING EXPLAIN THE NEGATIVE RETURNS TO FACULTY SENIORITY?
Autor: Bernt Bratsberg, James F. Ragan, John T. Warren
Publikováno v: Economic Inquiry. 48:704-721
I. INTRODUCTION Economists have studied various aspects of faculty mobility. Research shows that turnover is greater among nonunion faculty (Rees 1994); female faculty average slightly more employers than male faculty (Barbezat and Hughes 2001; Ginth

Autor: James F. Ragan, Ashraf El-Araby Aly
Publikováno v: Journal of Population Economics. 23:519-538
Using U.S. census data, the authors analyze the earnings of Arab males who completed their schooling before migrating to the United States. There is little return to precollege education, but education beyond 12 years is rewarded highly. Although Ara

The Effect of Naturalization on Wage Growth: A Panel Study of Young Male Immigrants
Autor: Bernt Bratsberg, James F. Ragan, Zafar M. Nasir
Publikováno v: Journal of Labor Economics. 20:568-597
For young male immigrants, naturalization facilitates assimilation into the U.S. labor market. Following naturalization, immigrants gain access to public‐sector, white‐collar, and union jobs, and wage growth accelerates—consistent with removal

Have unions impeded growing wage dispersion among young workers?
Autor: James F. Ragan, Bernt Bratsberg
Publikováno v: Journal of Labor Research. 18:593-612
Wage inequality is examined for young males over the period 1980–1993. While wage inequality increased substantially for nonunion workers over this period, wage inequality increased only modestly for union workers. In part, this difference results

Earnings inequality narrows for young workers despite a widening wage structure
Autor: Bernt Bratsberg, James F. Ragan
Publikováno v: The Quarterly Review of Economics and Finance. 35:387-395
Inequality of wage rates has widened in the United States. But inequality of earnings also depends on the distribution of hour's worked. If the distribution of hours contracts sufficiently, earnings inequality may narrow despite a widening wage struc
