This paper presents an analysis of inequality using utility-based measures of welfare derived from different approaches to modelling household labour supplies. The almost Ideal Demand System specification of preferences is selected for the estimation of a neoclassical household model and of individual decision models which incorporate different assumptions concerning the intra-household distribution of income using the Rosen (1976) tax perception methodology. The study also explores the implications of a model which does not constrain time at home to leisure. Welfare rankings and inequality measures defined on equivalent income are compared for each type of model. The analysis uses Australian unit record data on 3,352 households drawn from the Australian Bureau of Statistics 1981-82 Income and Housing Sample Survey file. The results indicate the sensitivity of welfare orderings and inequality measures to the choice of decision model and to the specification of lump-sum transfers between family members. A comparative study of equivalent incomes and selected money income variables also illustrates the limitations of observed household and individual incomes as welfare indicators for the analysis of inequality and for policy design

This paper describes the class structure of the Australian workforce in terms of the theoretical approaches developed by Erik Olin Wright. The two class profiles presented and discussed are Wright's contradictory class location schema and his second schema based on the exploitation of assets. The distributions of class according to occupational group, gender and age are also discussed

New products are major contributors to company growth and profits and a key factor in business planning. Despite its importance, new product development has long been recognised as one of the riskiest activities of business enterprises with factors such as shorter product life cycles, capital shortages, government restrictions, fragmented markets, changing competitive environments and rapid technological change operating to maintain risks at high levels. To reduce the risks there needs to be greater understanding of the determinants of success and failure in this endeavour and continuing efforts to apply such knowledge in product innovation management. One area in need of more intensive investigation is the NEW PRODUCT PROCESS, the set of activities which move the product from the idea stage to the market launch of a product incorporating the idea.

The paper has two main objectives. First, it provides the background and rationale for Australia’s introduction of the 150 per cent tax concession for IR&D in order to appreciate some of the problems of its implementation. Secondly, it assesses the effectiveness of the concession in promoting IR&D. The latter requires estimation of the impact of the concession on the user cost of IR&D and the responsiveness of the demand for IR&D to changes in its user cost. © 1989, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

Posteroanterior (PA) forces applied to the vertebrae are commonly used for the clinical assessment and treatment of vertebral column disorders. Three strategies for applying PA force in the thoracic and lumbar spine regions were studied. The components of the manipulative force which were directed along, and transverse to, the axis of the vertebra were calculated, and also the sagittal plane moment generated about the centre of the vertebra was determined. The three different strategies produced quite different loads on the vertebrae and all three strategies showed substantial variations across vertebral levels in at least one of the load components. © 1989.

Economies is widely seen as the senior social science discipline and as a key ingredient in management training. Leisure and tourism have become significant components of developed market economies, accounting for between 20 and 30 per cent of consumer expenditure. Economics should therefore be an important discipline in the study of leisure and tourism. While macro-economic theory has been widely applied in the leisure and tourism field through economic impact studies and the tourism multiplier, micro-economic applications have been almost entirely concerned with non-market, public sector leisure phenomena or quasi-market phenomena such as professional team sports. The paper raises the question as to why so few examples exist of the application of micro-economics to leisure markets. © Presses de l’ Université du Québec.
