Working Hours and Job Sharing in the EU and USA: Are Europeans Lazy? Or Americans Crazy?
ISBN: 9780199231027 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In the last 50 years the gap in labour productivity between Europe and the US has narrowed considerably with estimates in 2005 suggesting a EU-US labour productivity gap of about 5 per cent. Yet, average per capita income in the EU is still about 30% lower than in the US. This persistent gap in income per capita can be almost entirely explained by Europeans working less than Americans.
Why do Europeans work so little compared to Americans? What do they do with their spare time outside work? Can they be induced to work more without reducing labour productivity? If so, how? And what is the... In the last 50 years the gap in labour productivity between Europe and the US has narrowed considerably with estimates in 2005 suggesting a EU-US labo...

Pensions: More Information, Less Ideology: Assessing the Long-Term Sustainability of European Pension Systems: Data Requirements, Analysis and Evaluat
ISBN: 9781441949165 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Europeans are living longer, and fewer now remain in the labour force as they grow older. Many European countries have responded to the ensuing financial pressure by reforming their public pension systems and health care programmes. There is considerable uncertainty as to the effects of these reforms - as they typically do not alter the unfunded nature of public welfare arrangements and this uncertainty is itself costly. Not only does it undermine the credibility of public welfare programmes, but it may also distort labour supply behaviour, decisions regarding savings and capital...

ISBN: 9780199669806 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The recent financial crisis has created a public outcry over top-executive pay packages and has led to calls for reform of executive pay in Europe and the US.

This volume compares US and European CEOs to trace the evolution of executive compensation, its controversies and its resulting regulations. It shows that many features of current executive compensation practices reflect the, often-unintended, consequences of...
