Dietz, Elizabeth (1994). "Measuring Employee Bonuses: A Review of Test
Surveys." Compensation and Working Conditions, 46(5):13-17.
Responding to the development of non-wage cash payments in the work
force, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) tested the feasibility of
collecting data on non-wage cash payments. Preliminary tests were conducted
in various occupational wage surveys in 1989 and 1990. BLS plans to resume
testing in its Occupational Compensation Survey Program as part of a major
survey redesign slated to begin in 1995. This article describes the
preliminary test surveys, discusses their results, and identifies issues
involved in collecting reliable, statistically sound data on non-wage cash
payments.
Dietz, Elizabeth and John Steinmeyer (1994). "Testing Joint Collection
of Wage and Demographic Data." Compensation and Working
Conditions, 46(10):7-11.
This article summarizes the Bureau of Labor Statistics' experience in
conducting the 1989 and 1990 test studies of Occupational Wage Surveys to
determine if earnings inequality among race, sex, age, and other demographic
groups existed. It also relates how the test survey results fell short of
objectives and describes some of the pitfalls of demographic data collection.
Diewert, W.E. (1971). "A Note on the Elasticity of Derived Demand in the
N-Factor Case." Econometrica,(May):192-198.
Hicks formula for the price elasticity of derived demand for a factor of
production in terms of the price elasticity of demand for the product, the
price elasticity of supply of a competing factor, the first factor's share and
the elasticity of substitution between the two factors is tested when the
number of factors is greater than two.
Diop, Hamady and Richard F. Kazmierczak, Jr. (1996). Technology and
Management in Mauritanian Cephalopod Fisheries Marine Resource
Economics, 11(2):71-84.
If the technology in a multispecies fishery is such that there is
jointness in inputs and nonseparability between inputs and outputs, then
management on a species by species basis may lead to unintended outcomes,
including over exploitation of the resource. This study investigates the
nature of the technical and economic relationships underlying the 1989-90
Mauritanian cephalopod fishery by estimating a system of dual output supply
functions derived from a generalized Leontief revenue function. Model results
indicate the existence of jointness in inputs and nonseparability between
inputs and outputs in the fishery. Cross price elasticities indicated a
number of substitute and complementary relationships, with these relationships
changing in magnitude across years. Taken together, the results suggest that
any attempts to economically manage the resource should be based on
multiproduct production theory, not single species biological response
functions. Besides ruling out single species management, the dominance of
substitute relationships in the Mauritanian cephalopod fishery precludes the
use of key species management of the entire resource.
