Education

COLLECTIVE CHOICE IN EDUCATION Mary Jean Bowman, Editor, University of Chicago, Dept. of Economics Public funding for education has become more and more of a battlefield in this era of taxpayer revolts. Despite the attention this subject has garnered in the popular press, there has been surprisingly little economic research into collective behavior with respect to education. In view of these trends, it was decided that the third conference under the Ford-sponsored U.K./U.S. Programme in the Economics of Education should bring together studies relating to collective choice in education, with some emphasis on studies in educational finance. The studies in this volume represent an exchange of ideas on this topic between economists in the United Kingdom and the United States. The commonalities and differences that arose in the course of this conference enabled economists from each side of the Atlantic to gain a new perspective on current issues in education, as well as a more balanced assessment of approaches that might prove promising in the future.

Manpower TECHNIQUES IN CORPORATE MANPOWER PLANNING C.J. Verhoeven, Technische Hogeschool, Eindhoven As industries change and become more sophisticated, their personnel requirements also change. Too often these changes result in discrepancies between manpower requirements and availabilities. Industries find themselves faced with shortages of highly qualified people at the same time they are overloaded with employees in lower grades. This kind of situation can be alleviated by engaging in long-term planning for groups of employees rather than just individuals. Such an approach provides the conditions for individual manpower planning or personnel development In this book, the author has developed a manpower planning system called FORMASY. This technique allows management to estimate future manpower requirements and availabilities, to compare and analyze these forecasts for possible discrepancies, and to evaluate the impact of alternative policies on demand and supply of personnel, career opportunities, and salary costs. ISBN 0-89838-072-3 Cloth February 1982 192 pp. $30.00

Welfare WELFARE REFORM IN AMERICA edited by Paul M. Sommers, Middlebury College Since this country first declared "war on poverty", two massive efforts to reform welfare, one by Richard Nixon and one by Jimmy Carter, have been proposed. Both measures were defeated in Congress. Most modest efforts at reform have, however, changed the economic landscape, and improving the efficiency, equity, and responsiveness of antipoverty programs continues to be a politically significant issue. The papers in this volume, from the second annual Middlebury Conference on Economic Issues, puts into perspective nearly two decades of federal antipoverty programs and considers the prospects for reform. Although the conference itself was held in April 1980, many of the papers have been revised since that time to take into account the changes in the policy environment under the Reagan Administration. Included are discussions of the current state of the antipoverty effort, various welfare reform alternatives, and the implementation of new initiatives to change work behavior and productivity. ISBN 0-89838-079-0 Cloth February 1982 256 pp. $29.00

Ip. HARD KNOCKS PreparingYouth for Work

^ ,' ;' Bonnie Snedeker

HardKnocks takes a hard look at some of America's most ambitious social programs: training and employment programs for youth. This is a penetrating, often touching, portrait of the young people for whom federal programs might be the last chance to escape lives of poverty.

"Hard Knocks does not provide scientific measurements or policy prescrip- tions, yet its sympathetic and probing discussions with youth in need yield more insights than volumes of technical studies."- SarA. Levitan, Centerfor SocialPolicy Studies, George Washington University $14.95

DISABILITY AND WORK The Economics of American Policy

Richard V Burkhauser and Robert H. Haveman A thorough, up-to-date survey of federal programs for the

disabled and how they affect their beneficiaries, society, and the nation's economy as a whole. The cost and

employment programs raised by these measures- particularly programs targeted on workers with identifiable

health problems - are discussed with an eye to anticipating and assessing the impact of Reagan administration budget

cuts. The authors conclude that, unless supply side economics succeeds in provid- ing jobs for marginally disabled workers, government plans to restructure this vital area of the federal social welfare system will "cut the safety net" from under even more citizens.
