Work-sharing for a sustainable economyZwickl, Klara, Disslbacher, Franziska, Stagl, Sigrid 06 1900 (has links) (PDF)
Achieving low unemployment in an environment of weak growth is a major policy challenge;
a more egalitarian distribution of hours worked could be the key to solving it. Whether worksharing
actually increases employment, however, has been debated controversially. In this
article we present stylized facts on the distribution of hours worked and discuss the role of
work-sharing for a sustainable economy. Building on recent developments in labor market
theory we review the determinants of working long hours and its effect on well-being. Finally,
we survey work-sharing reforms in the past. While there seems to be a consensus that worksharing
in the Great Depression in the U.S. and in the Great Recession in Europe was successful in reducing employment losses, perceptions of the work-sharing reforms
implemented between the 1980s and early 2000s are more ambivalent. However, even the most critical evaluations of these reforms provide no credible evidence of negative
employment effects; instead, the overall success of the policy seems to depend on the economic and institutional setting, as well as the specific details of its implementation. (authors' abstract) / Series: Ecological Economic Papers

Some Generalizations of Bucket Brigade Assembly LinesLim, Yun Fong 27 April 2005 (has links)
A fascinating feature of bucket brigade assembly lines is that work load on workers is balanced spontaneously as workers follow some simple rules in the assembly process. This self-organizing
property significantly reduces the management effort on an assembly line. We generalize this idea in several directions. These include an adapted bucket brigade protocol for complex assembly networks, a generalized model that permits chaotic behavior, and a more detailed model for a flow line in which jobs arrive arbitrarily in time and are introduced into the system at several points on the line.

Shared unemployment: attitudes toward short-time compensationDrea, Andrew J. 08 1900 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / This thesis gathered survey data to investigate American willingness to participate in short-time compensation programs and what attributes found in other countries’ programs they find palatable. Because multiple workers in similar states were surveyed online, the data show what various workers need from a short-time compensation program.

To share or not to share vector registers?Pietrzyk, Johannes, Krause, Alexander, Habich, Dirk, Lehner, Wolfgang 04 June 2024 (has links)
Query execution techniques in database systems constantly adapt to novel hardware features to achieve high query performance, in particular for analytical queries. In recent years, vectorization based on the Single Instruction Multiple Data parallel paradigm has been established as a state-of-the-art approach to increase single-query performance. However, since concurrent analytical queries running in parallel often access the same columns and perform a same set of vectorized operations, data accesses and computations among different queries may be executed redundantly. Various techniques have already been proposed to avoid such redundancy, ranging from concurrent scans via the construction of materialized views to applying multiple query optimization techniques. Continuing this line of research, we investigate the opportunity of sharing vector registers for concurrently running queries in analytical scenarios in this paper. In particular, our novel sharing approach relies on processing data elements of different queries together within a single vector register. As we are going to show, sharing vector registers to optimize the execution of concurrent analytical queries can be very beneficial in single-threaded as well as multi-thread environments. Therefore, we demonstrate the feasibility and applicability of such a novel work sharing strategy and thus open up a wide spectrum of future research opportunities.
