The author attempts an empirical analysis of the migration process. She starts with the assumption that migration involves an attempt to maximize long-term income and includes both micro-level aspects of individual's decisions to migrate and macro-level aspects, that is to say, aggregate migration flows. The model is used to analyze black internal migration in the United States between 1910 and 1970

this paper is this: does the rise of free market orthodoxy indicate the triumph of `efficiency' at the expense of `equity'? Or does it also, and possibly even primarily, reflect an attempt to capitalise on the distributive opportunities that have been created by the deteriorating macroeconomic environment and the conservative political climate of the late `80s and `90s? And if the goal of allocative efficiency is genuine, are the chosen strategies hostage to a tunnel vision? The demand for `free markets' has well defined ideological roots, most notably in the labour market. Ideological commitment can lead its bearers astray, and so it is possible that the zealots of `free markets' have been blinded to the destructive aspects of untrammelled markets. Yet, radical political changes and poor macroeconomic conditions place some socio-economic groups in a strategic position which sharply increases their prospects of winning redistribution battles. With a sufficiently ...

This paper examines the distributional consequences of the recent transformation of the industrial relations system in Australia, with a shift from a collective bargaining system with comprehensive involvement of trade unions at both the national and industry levels to a system based on workplace bargaining with no union involvement. The paper presents the results of regression analyses which reveal well-defined differences between agreements involving unions in the bargaining process and the remainder of the population. The paper also outlines a conceptual framework for analyzing non-collective bargaining, focusing on a particular source of power asymmetry the rather unequal levels of market power available to the employer and the individual worker in the absence of a union.

This paper evaluates the debate in the literature on the extent to which a concern for egalitarianism has been a feature of Australia's wage-fixing system during the current century. An alternative interpretation of the historical record is proposed, along with an alternative concept of egalitarianism. A new conclusion about the degree of concern for egalitarianism follo ws.
