The New Jobs Tax Credit (NJTC) offers a tax credit of fifty percent of the first $4200 of wages per employee for increases in employment of more than two percent over the previous year. Economic theory predicts that such a tax credit should stimulate employment, decrease hours worked per week

, 2005). In this paper, we present the results of a meta-analysis of the literature on unemployment exit rates around benefit exhaustion, as well as new evidence using administrative data for a large sample of Austrian job losers. Our main finding is that the way in which unemployment spells are measured

An efficacious economic stimulus to help the U.S. economy recover from its current recession is the revival of the New Jobs Tax Credit. Unlike the original credit utilized by the federal government in 1977– 1978, the new version should be a refundable credit but at a lower current dollar value. My

MapReduce is emerging as an important programming model for large-scale data-parallel applications such as web indexing, data mining, and scientific simulation. Hadoop is an open-source implementation of MapReduce enjoying wide adoption and is often used for short jobs where low response time

in the 1990s is more precarious (New York Times, 1996). The past decade and a half has seen a veritable explosion of research in the area of permanent job loss. My discussion here is not intended to be an exhaustive survey of that literature; interested readers can find that in Fallick (1996) and Kletzer

One policy that should be considered for fighting high national or regional unemployment is a revised version of the New Jobs Tax Credit (NJTC), used by the federal government in 1977–1978. The NJTC provided a tax credit to businesses for additions to their overall employment

Sharp increases in the rate of escape from unemployment both through recalls and new job acceptances are apparent for UI recipients around the time when benefits are likely to lapse

A county-level labor market model is estimated for the thirteen Southern states. The model accounts for inter-county commuting, migration, and within-county adjustments to labor demand shocks. Econometric results indicate that most employment growth (60-70%) during the 1990s was accommodated by changes in commuting flows. The results also suggest that labor force growth – and, by extension, population growth and associated fiscal impacts – in rural counties is sensitive to employment growth in nearby counties. These results highlight two opposing forces related to spatial spillovers that are usually neglected in analyses of the economic and fiscal impacts of rural employment growth.
