We show that cyclical skill mismatch, defined as mismatch between the skills supplied by college graduates and skills demanded by hiring industries, is an important mechanism behind persistent career loss from graduating in recessions. Using Norwegian data, we find a strong countercyclical...

This paper models the US dollar as a global currency and focuses on the effects of US money supply shock upon China's economy. The special roles of US dollar as a global currency and the special institutional arrangements of China are investigated. Given a positive US money supply shock, both...

The creative industries have been identified as a key sector for the UK's economic recovery. Despite the intense focus, however, the working practices of their labour force remain largely enigmatic to public policy. Particularly, freelancers, who make up a large proportion of labour within the...

In this note, we shall consider the existence of invariant measures for a class of infinite dimensional stochastic functional differential equations with delay whose driving semigroup is eventually norm continuous. The results obtained are applied to stochastic heat equations with distributed...

In this note, we shall study a class of retarded Langevin equations in infinite-dimensional spaces. An informative description of stationary solutions is given by means of Green operators, Lyapunov equations, the second moment bounds and retarded point spectrum. The covariance operator of the...

In a recent paper, Taniguchi (Stochastic Anal. Appl. 16 (5) (1998) 965-975) investigated the almost sure exponential stability of the mild solutions of a class of stochastic partial functional differential equations. Precisely, as small delay interval assumption is imposed, sufficient conditions...
