Pittman Caines, Oriana; Sanli, Elizabeth A. – International Journal of Training Research, 2021
There is a lack of published research examining ways to mitigate the effects of attention on human error prevalence in the marine setting.

Blair, Peter Q.; Debroy, Papia; Heck, Justin – National Bureau of Economic Research, 2021
Over the past four decades, income inequality grew significantly between workers with bachelor's degrees and those with high school diplomas (often called "unskilled").

Amior, Michael – Centre for Economic Performance, 2019
Better-educated workers form many more long-distance job matches, and they move more quickly following local employment shocks. I argue this is a consequence of larger dispersion in wage offers, independent of geography. In a frictional market, this generates larger surpluses for workers in new matches, which can better justify the cost of moving…

Brunner, Lisa Ruth – Journal of Comparative and International Higher Education, 2021
Two-step immigration is now a well-established policy strategy in countries such as Australia, Canada, and the U.S. to retain so-called 'highly skilled,' or higher-wage, immigrants. However, as this paper argues, the specific recruitment and retention of post-secondary international students in some contexts has become a distinct three-step form…
