Purpose This paper aims to analyze the question of how household indebtedness impacts households’ incentives to search for and accept work after displacement. Design/methodology/approach To analyze the relationship between household indebtedness and unemployment duration, this paper applies standard proportional hazard models. For data, this paper...
Article
Starting in May 2008, the US government disbursed over $100 billion to households in the form of tax rebates. Embedded in the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008, the rollout was aimed at limiting, or possibly reversing, the negative effects of the recession that was just starting. Substantial research concentrated on capturing the impact of the stimulus...
Article
Prior empirical research on the earnings penalty of being a tied-migrant has focused primarily on the working wives of servicemen. Over the last couple of decades the increased number of women in the armed forces makes it feasible to study the earnings of another group of tied-migrants, the husbands of servicewomen. Using data from the 2000 U.S. Ce...
Conference Paper
Objective: Over the last twenty-five years, the number of women employed full-time outside the home increased more than two-fold as has the use of non-parental child care, with approximately eight out of ten employed mothers with children under the age of six being dependent on some type of childcare arrangement. The demand for high quality, compre...
Article
Identifying the earnings penalty associated with being a tied mover has focused on the working wives of servicemen. However, the number of women serving in the armed forces now makes it feasible to study the earnings losses of a group of tied-mover males, the husbands of servicewomen. Using data from the 2000 U.S. Census, the authors identified a s...
Article
A primary goal of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA) was reducing welfare dependency through job preparation and employment. Rather than having entitlement benefits, welfare recipients now face time limits and must, along with their caseworker, develop a program that will assist them in preparing fo...

... Kepemilikan hutang juga tidak menjadi alasan lansia Indonesia tetap bekerja dan ini sejalan dengan temuan Belkar et al., (2007) bahwa kepemilikan hutang tidak berhubungan secara langsung dengan status kerja. Namun ada kecenderungan bahwa rumah tangga lansia yang memiliki hutang dalam jumlah besar akan cepat kembali mencari pekerjaan (Bednarzik, Kern, & Hisnanick, 2017). ...
... For instance, Blanton et al. (2019) provide evidence that women are first in line to lose their jobs during an economic crisis. Recent evidence on the impact of the pandemic on local labor markets confirms an existing gender bias in layoffs (Blundell et al., 2020;Coibion et al., 2020;Bednarzik et al., 2021). Furthermore, women more frequently find employment in the public sector or the services sector which are closely linked to the viability of national budgets (Çagatay & Özler, 1995;Rubery, 2015;Donald & Lusiani, 2017;Fruttero et al., 2020). ...
... Internalization is the process of converting explicit knowledge into tacit knowledge. Furthermore, Nonaka and Nishiguchi (2002) stated that every process in the SECI model involves belief systems from individual values and is carried out with strong beliefs to create knowledge as justified. Knowledge is created at the level of individual entities in the organization through the interaction of tacit and explicit knowledge effectively with cooperative mechanisms through the SECI process (Chou & Tsai, 2004). ...
... fewer civilian husbands. As such, there is a need to further understand the experiences of civilian husbands of servicewomen in particular because of the unique intersection of their status as tied-migrant workers and gender role expectations for men as financial providers, because civilian husbands work and earn less than husbands of civilian women (Hisnanick & Little, 2015) and are less likely to be satisfied with employment opportunities than civilian wives of servicemen (Cooney et al., 2011). The purpose of this phenomenological study was to understand the experiences of civilian husbands of servicewomen, especially the ways they perform masculinity as tiedmigrant workers in marriage and in the traditional gender role culture of the military. ...
... Income inequality was assessed using the Gini index, data for which was sourced from the U.S. Census Bureau. The index provides a measure of income disparity within metropolitan areas for the year 2014 (for more detail on the forumla used, refer to Hisnanick and Rogers, 2006). The Gini index values span from 0, suggesting perfect equality, to 1, indicating complete inequality (US Census Bureau, 2016). ...
... Instability caused by frequent movement and absence of military members is likely to have an impact on the education and employment of military spouses. Several US based studies have found differences in employment, income, and education status between military and civilian spouses (Harrell et al., 2004;Hisnanick & Little, 2010;Hosek & Wadsworth, 2013;Meadows et al., 2015;Wang & Pullman, 2019). Military spouses appear to report lower rates of employment and lower weekly earning than their civilian spouses; these differences remain after adjusting for age, geography, education and number of children (Wang & Pullman, 2019). ...
... Civilian husbands' dissatisfaction with employment opportunities is perhaps surprising given that servicewomen (and therefore, their husbands) tend to experience PCS less often than their servicemen counterparts (Southwell & MacDermid Wadsworth, 2016), yet perhaps unsurprising given that civilian husbands of servicewomen may earn about 70% of what husbands of civilian women earn on average (Little & Hisnanick, 2007). The stable income and military resources, such as health care and assistance with school tuition, have been found to reduce financial stress in servicewomen's relationships with their civilian husbands (Southwell & Mac-Dermid Wadsworth, 2016), but there is also evidence that civilian husbands may be more likely to be victims of severe aggression from their service member wives if they are unemployed, which may be attributable to fewer financial resources within the couple or an indication of gender role incongruity conflict in the marriage (Newby et al., 2003). ...
... Without going into detail on this literature, the direction that it has taken over time is to downplay the positive value of military service that was found in early writings (Fredland and Little, 1979, 1980, 1985Berger and Hirsch, 1983). As better data and more sophisticated econometric techniques have been brought to bear on the topic, the research now generally holds that there is no veteran"s premium, except possibly for minority servicemen (Hisnanick, 2001(Hisnanick, , 2003. Veterans from an earlier period appear to have held their own in terms of earnings, but more recent veterans probably have not. ...
