| We estimate a local labor market model for North Carolina. The model accounts for inter-county commuting - in addition to within-county labor market adjustments - when a labor demand shock occurs. Econometric results indicate that migration accounted for no more than 20 to 30 percent of county labor market adjustment to employment growth during the decade of the 1980s, and that most employment growth was accommodated by changes in commuting flows. |

| Data collected from a 1997 household survey carried out in Accra, Ghana, are used to look at the crucial role that women play as income earners and in securing access to food in urban areas. One-third of the households surveyed are headed by women. For all households, women's labor force participation is high, with 75 percent of all households having at least one working woman. The high number of female-headed households and the large percent of working women in the sample provide a good backdrop for looking at how women earn and spend income differently than men in an urban area. Livelihood strategies for both men and women are predominantly labor based and dependent on social networks. For all households in the sample, food is still the single most... |

| The rapid increase in adult mortality due to the AIDS epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa raises great concern about potential intergenerational effects on children. This article estimates the impact of AIDS-related adult mortality on primary school attendance in rural Kenya using a panel of 1,266 households surveyed in 1997, 2000, and 2002. The paper distinguishes between effects on boys’ and girls’ education to understand potential gender differences resulting from adult mortality. We also estimate how adult mortality affects child schooling before as well as after the death occurs. The paper also estimates the importance of households’ initial asset levels in influencing the relationship between adult mortality and child school attendance. We find that all... |

| Most retail food firms adhere to traditional human resources management practices, with employees enjoying little involvement in decision-making and little participation in company financial returns. More than one tenth of non-food firms have innovative human resources systems, with much individual and group involvement in decision-making and financial returns, but only a minuscule proportion of food firms have such systems. At the other end of the spectrum, more than one-fifth of food stores and eating and drinking places (and nearly one-third of food wholesale firms) have traditional systems, as compared to only one-tenth of non-food firms. The tasks and the human resource practices typical of retail food firms are consistent with each other. Core... |

| A zöldenergia (energetikai biomassza) előállítható elsődleges, másodlagos és harmadlagos biomasszából. Elsőként a melléktermékeket és hulladékokat célszerű felhasználni, majd pedig a fás és lágy szárú célültetvényeken előállított zöldenergia-hordozókat. A hazai mező- és erdőgazdasági melléktermék és hulladék energetikai célra hasznosítható évi mennyisége 4,9-5,7 millió tonna közötti, amely 40-50%-kal több, mint az évente kitermelt tűzifa. A földgázfűtés kiváltása a helyben keletkezett és/vagy termelt zöldenergia-hordozókkal már ma is gazdaságos, főként abban az esetben, ha települési és/vagy kistérségi logisztikai központ közbeiktatásával történik a zöldenergia-hordozók hasznosítása hőtermelésre. A zöldenergia-hordozók szabályozott körülmények között... |
