Subsidy policies with capital accumulation: maintaining employment levels.

The authors study a dual economy model of growth and unemployment in the presence of Harris-Todaro type labor migration. The model is a discrete time model of economic growth with a given population but endogenous migration of labor. The economy tries to reach development in the quickest possible time while not allowing unemployment to rise above a socially acceptable level. The authors also characterize situations under which maximizing the accumulation of capital in each period is optimal and study how particular taxes and subsidies affect unemployment and capital accumulation. Finally, they show that a higher initial capital stock does not necessarily mean a quicker attainment of self- sustained full employment.

Happy birthday DIOGENE: a hospital information system born 20 years ago.

Since its birth in 1978, DIOGENE, the hospital information system of Geneva University Hospital has been constantly evolving, with a major change in 1995, when migrating from a centralized to an open distributed architecture. For a few years, the hospital had to face health policy revolution with both economical constraints and opening of the healthcare network. The hospital information system DIOGENE plays a significant role by integrating four axes of knowledge: medico-economical context for better understanding and influencing resources consumption; the whole set of patient reports and documents (reports, encoded summaries, clinical findings, images, lab data, etc.), patient-dependent knowledge, in a vision integrating time and space; external knowledge bases such as Medline (patient-independent knowledge); integration of these patient-dependent and independent knowledge in a case-based reasoning format, providing on the physician desktop all relevant information for helping him to take the most appropriate adequate decision.

Bangladeshi immigrants in Italy: from geopolitics to micropolitics.

"Bangladeshis are one of a wide variety of recently established immigrant groups in Italy, analysed here as an example of the interaction of geopolitics, employment and survival strategies, and the micropolitics of the community's organization in Italy. The geopolitics involves events in Bangladesh (change of government), Italy (the Martelli Law and other legislation), Europe (EU and other European policies, and the opening of eastern Europe as a routeway) and the Gulf. The micropolitics concerns mechanisms of immigration, migration sponsorship, connections to Italian political groups and clientelistic relationships within the community. Micropolitics also governs to a large extent the types of mostly informal work done by Bangladeshis in Rome."

The migration transition in Malaysia.

"Exploring the unique experience of migration transition in Malaysia, this paper identifies the turning points in relation to the level and nature of economic and labor market developments in Malaysia. Examining the development dynamics that mark the passage from exporting labor to depending on foreign labor, the paper concludes that such dynamics are influenced not only by economic but also sociocultural, demographic and policy factors. Several lessons from the Malaysian experience are drawn at the end to be utilized by other countries that still have to reach the turning points of the migration transition."

More migrants than ever before in China.

Within 5 years from July 1 of 1985 to July 1 of 1990, there were 33.84 million interregional migrants in China, and on the average, each year 5 people in 1000 migrated to other places. According to the 10% sample data from the 4th Census, cities are the places to which people like to move, and Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai have a highest immigration rate; remote border provinces are the places where people like to move out, and Guangxi, Sichuan and Heilongjiang have the highest emigration rate. With the further reformation and more free policies, people no more cling to their homeland and are more inclined than before to move to other places to find more proper jobs. Specialists indicate that population migration is a result of economic development an inexorable trend of urbanization, and it is significant to have a planned adjustment of spatial population distribution.

A dynamic migration model with uncertainty.

The author presents "a dynamic version of the Harris-Todaro migration model where a finite population of infinitely-lived Bayesian agents choose consumption and migration decision rules as a function of their histories. The agents do not know the production functions in the two sectors and learn about them through wage draws that they receive from the stochastic production functions. The government knows the true production functions but is uninformed about the agents' beliefs, and the actual wage draws they observe. The government maximizes its welfare function using wage subsidies in the two sectors, and a migration tax. We solve the agents' dynamics programming problem, and then use the solution to solve the government's dynamic programming problem. We study the effects of government policies on the population distribution, and illustrate the model by numerically solving a particular parametric example."

An econometric model of internal migration and development: extensions and tests.

The author extends a previous work on migration in Italy "from 1958-1976 to 1958-1981, tests for the stability of the model and its coefficients, and uses the model for policy simulations and forecasting. The model performs as well over the extended sample period as over the original period and, even more important..., the model is found to be quite stable. This is remarkable in view of the economic turmoil that characterized the years by which the original sample period was extended."

Polygamy, disrupted reproduction, and the state: Malian migrants in Paris, France.

For Malian women, migration from West Africa to France has disrupted widely shared understandings of marriage and reproduction. In response to restrictive immigration policies, men and women routinely confront the challenges of polygamy, public disapproval of high fertility, and biomedical messages promoting contraception. Although many Malians continue to be strongly pronatalist, within a family, spouses may experience contradictory pressures and objectives regarding reproduction, particularly in polygamous marriages. Because women are more likely than men to interact with nurses and doctors in the context of maternity and child health care visits, they are systematically confronted by encouragement to contracept. French population policy is contradictory in this regard, as it has been strongly pronatalist throughout the 20th century, yet is equally strongly anti-natalist with regard to immigrant populations. Recent anti-immigrant policies such as the Pasqua law prohibiting polygamy have emerged as influences shaping men's and women's contested reproductive goals. Men tend to oppose contraception, citing Islamic doctrine while women increasingly justify contraceptive use in response to government policies and biomedical encouragement. In contrast, polygamy also may generate pregnancy rivalries as wives strategize to enhance their reproductive careers and thus to retain immigrant status.

Intracolonic migration of a pacemaker generator.

Following pacemaker implantation, a 75-year-old male developed a low grade infection of the generator pocket. Utilizing the same generator, several relocations of the generator were made with the result that eventually the pacemaker, eroding the muscular planes, found his way into the ascending colon. Healing could be achieved only after removing the whole pacemaker system. The authors' current policy in case of pacemaker infection is also reported.

Migration in an interregional macroeconometric model of the United States: will net outmigration from the Northeast continue?

"This paper reports on the specification, estimation and simulation of an interregional net migration model of the United States. The model makes use of time series data including, as explanatory variables, wage rates, unemployment rates, and population density. Simulation experiments are undertaken by joining the migration model with a multi-regional macroeconometric model to examine the effect [on] migration patterns of changes in national economic growth. In particular, the net outmigration trends in the Northeast are examined under alternative scenarios including faster national economic growth and a different energy pricing policy."
