| Keywords | international careers, managerial elite, national career patterns, top management profiles |
| Abstract | While top management career patterns are highly embedded in national institutional contexts, the phenomenon of globalization has recently called into question the future of these patterns. In this article we discuss the stability of certain features of national top management profiles as well as the emergence of a new globalized managerial elite characterized by new elements legitimating top management authority. We collected biographical and career related information from 916 top managers employed by 111 companies located in France, Germany, Great Britain and Switzerland. Our data shows a certain erosion of national models due to the gradual arrival of non-national top managers, but this process occurs very slowly despite the strong international dimension of the companies studied. |

| Abstract | Mirar a la economía desde el interés por libertad de los individuos en general y de los agentes económicos en particular constituye un ejercicio relativamente poco común. En este trabajo nos centramos en un tipo de libertad: la que se refiere a “Los servicios económicos (en forma de oportunidades para participar en el comercio y la producción) (Sen 2000, 28). Un aspecto de tal libertad es el acceso a mercados. Ofrecemos una aproximación a uno de los elementos requeridos para dicho acceso: la innovación productiva que afecta el costo de transporte. En este trabajo, innovación tiene el sentido limitado de sustitución de cultivos que aumenta la proporción de productos con alto valor unitario dentro de la canasta de productos agrícolas de cada campesino. ¿Hay en el Perú un proceso de cambio de productos hacia aquellos que tienen un mayor valor por unidad de peso? Los resultados están basados en la ENAHO. |

| Abstract | We study how class size and class composition affect the academic and labor market performance of college students, two crucial policy questions given the secular increase in college enrollment. Our identification strategy relies on the random assignment of students to teaching classes. We find that a one standard deviation increase in class - size results in a 0.1 standard deviation deterioration of the average grade. Further, the effect is heterogeneous as it is stronger for males and lower income students. Also, the effects of class composition in terms of gender and ability appear to be inverse U-shaped. Finally, a reduction of 20 students (one standard deviation) in one's class size has a positive effect on monthly wages of about €80 ($115) or 6% over the average. |

| Abstract | Chi colpisce la disoccupazione di lunga durata? Quanti, chi e come riescono a rientrare sul mercato del lavoro? Il rientro è contrassegnato da traiettorie più o meno complesse e/o contraddistinte da stati precari? La caduta in disoccupazione di lunga durata è una ricaduta che diventa poi cronica oppure le traiettorie di vita dicono altro? L’Ufficio di Statistica del Canton Ticino e l’Università di Ginevra rispondono a queste domande attraverso un’analisi delle traiettorie di vita professionali dei disoccupati di lunga durata in Svizzera. Le risposte a tali quesiti – di rilevanza sociale, economica, per le politiche del lavoro e per il finanziamento delle assicurazioni sociali – rappresentano nuovi elementi conoscitivi per la comprensione del mercato del lavoro e per la lotta all’esclusione lavorativa e sociale. |

| Abstract | Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the social role played by expatriate spouses during international assignments, using a dramaturgical approach. Design/methodology/approach – Role expectations were investigated on the basis of an exemplary case: the spouses of diplomatic and consular employees of the Swiss Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Qualitative data were collected in interviews with 40 male and female spouses and analyzed with a “goffmanian” dramaturgical role analysis approach. Findings – The dramaturgical analysis of the accompanying persons’ discourse highlights the different dimensions of the expatriate spouse role and how expatriate spouses construct and personalize their role. Furthermore, this analysis brings new insights into the way male spouses may support female expatriates and reveals gender differences in the enactment of the expatriate spouse role. Research limitations/implications – This study has been carried out in the diplomatic sector, which might be more structured for the spouses in terms of role expectations than in multinational companies. Further research should be carried out to better understand these expectations in the context of multinational companies. Originality/value – The dramaturgical approach is a useful conceptual framework to explore the role enactment of the expatriate spouse, especially by considering the spouse role with a new distribution of gender roles. In this context, the role repertoire approach represents a promising field of investigation for research on expatriation and international mobility. |

| Abstract | A number of OECD countries aim to encourage work integration of disabled persons using quota policies. For instance, Austrian firms must provide at least one job to a disabled worker per 25 nondisabled workers and are subject to a tax if they do not. This “threshold design” provides causal estimates of the noncompliance tax on disabled employment if firms do not manipulate nondisabled employment; a lower and upper bound on the causal effect can be constructed if they do. Results indicate that firms with 25 nondisabled workers employ about 0.04 (or 12%) more disabled workers than without the tax; firms do manipulate employment of nondisabled workers but the lower bound on the employment effect of the quota remains positive; employment effects are stronger in low-wage firms than in high-wage firms; and firms subject to the quota of two disabled workers or more hire 0.08 more disabled workers per additional quota job. Moreover, increasing the noncompliance tax increases excess disabled employment, whereas paying a bonus to overcomplying firms slightly dampens the employment effects of the tax. |

| Abstract | The relationship between processes and time-varying covariates is of central theoretical interest in addressing many social science research questions. On the one hand, event history analysis (EHA) has been the chosen method to study these kinds of relationships when the outcomes can be meaningfully specified as simple instantaneous events or transitions. On the other hand, sequence analysis (SA) has made increasing inroads into the social sciences to analyze trajectories as holistic “process outcomes.” We propose an original combination of these two approaches called the sequence analysis multistate model (SAMM) procedure. The SAMM procedure allows the study of the relationship between time-varying covariates and trajectories of categorical states specified as process outcomes that unfold over time. The SAMM is a stepwise procedure: (1) SA-related methods are used to identify ideal-typical patterns of changes within trajectories obtained by considering the sequence of states over a predefined time span; (2) multistate event history models are estimated to study the probability of transitioning from a specific state to such ideal-typical patterns. The added value of the SAMM procedure is illustrated through an example from life-course sociology on how (1) time-varying family status is associated with women’s employment trajectories in East and West Germany and (2) how German reunification affected these trajectories in the two subsocieties. |

| Abstract | This paper has a local, a general and a methodological ambition. We deal with a specific story, that of Geneva, the «Calvinist Rome», which was obliged in the first half of the nineteenth century to open its doors to the others, especially to the secular enemies who took the form of Catholic immigrants. Using implicative graphs we discover that the protestant religion remained the dominant structuring principle. While relatively stable protestant socioeconomic groups competed for power, Catholics did not take part in these struggles but grew demographically, remaining as invisible as possible. |
