  • Estimating Employer Labour-Market Power and Its Wage Effects
    Making their own weather? Estimating employer labour-market power and its wage effects∗ Pedro S. Martinsy Queen Mary University of London & NovaSBE & IZA & GLO December 30, 2019 Abstract The subdued wage growth observed over the last years in many countries has spurred renewed interest in monopsony views of the labour market. This paper is one of the first to measure the extent and robustness of employer labour-market power and its wage implications exploiting comprehensive matched employer-employee data. We find average (employment-weighted) Herfindhal indices of 800 to 1,100; and that less than 9% of workers are exposed to concentration levels thought to raise market power concerns. However, these figures can increase significantly with different methodological choices. Finally, when controlling for both worker and firm heterogeneity and instrumenting for concentration, wages are found to be negatively affected by employer concentration, with elasticities of around -1.5%.

Present address: Zoological Museum, University of Copenhagen, Universitetsparken 15, DK-2100 Copenhagen Ø, Denmark * Corresponding author Abstract Three new species of zodariid spiders are described in this paper: Amphiledorus ungoliantae sp. n. and Zodarion bosmansi sp. n. from southern Portugal, and Zodarion atlanticum sp. n. from central Portugal and the Azores. Additional records on another eight taxa from central and southern Portu- gal are given: Amphiledorus adonis, Zodarion alacre, Z. jozefienae, Z. lusitanicum, Z. maculatum, Z. merlijni, Z. styliferum, and Z. styliferum forma extraneum.

Key words: Amphiledorus, Zodarion, description, faunistics, distribution, Azores, Iberian Introduction With more than 750 species described so far, the family Zodariidae Thorell 1881 is one of the fifteen most species rich spider families. Representatives of this family are distributed over all continents, except Antarctica. Only four genera, Amphiledorus Jocqué & Bosmans 2001, Palaestina O. P.-Cambridge 1872, Selamia Simon 1873 and Zodarion Walckenaer 1826, with about 80 species occur in Europe. One third of these species is restricted to the Iberian Peninsula (Platnick 2005).

  • 1 the Portuguese Railway Network in the Second Half of the Nineteenth Century
    The Portuguese railway network in the second half of the nineteenth century: main actors, debates, and outcomes 1. Introduction The main lines of the Portuguese railway network were built during the second half of the nineteenth century, especially in the period between 1860 and 1890. The first contracts were signed in the 1850s, but their execution was compromised by the lack of experience of its promoters and Portuguese technocrats, whereas in the 1890s investment was hampered by a crippling financial crisis that led to a partial bankruptcy in 1892. By 1900, the grid extended throughout 2,356 km. It included five transnational tracks across the border with Spain and many others serving every district of the country (figure 1 and table 1).1 (FIGURE 1 HERE) Figure 1 – Portuguese railway network.

  • Long-Term Molecular Surveillance Provides Clues on a Cattle Origin For
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Long‑term molecular surveillance provides clues on a cattle origin for Mycobacterium bovis in Portugal Ana C. Reis1,2, Rogério Tenreiro2, Teresa Albuquerque3, Ana Botelho3 & Mónica V. Cunha1,2* Animal tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium bovis, is maintained in Portugal in a multi‑host system, with cattle, red deer and wild boar, playing a central role. However, the ecological processes driving transmission are not understood. The main aim of this study was thus to contribute to the reconstruction of the spatiotemporal history of animal TB and to refne knowledge on M. bovis population structure in order to inform novel intervention strategies. A collection of 948 M. bovis isolates obtained during long‑term surveillance (2002–2016, 15 years) of cattle (n = 384), red deer (n = 303) and wild boar (n = 261), from the main TB hotspot areas, was characterized by spoligotyping and 8 to 12‑loci MIRU‑VNTR. Spoligotyping identifed 64 profles and MIRU‑VNTR distinguished 2 to 36 subtypes within each spoligotype, enabling diferentiation of mixed or clonal populations. Common genotypic profles within and among livestock and wildlife in the same spatiotemporal context highlighted epidemiological links across hosts and regions, as for example the SB0119‑M205 genotype shared by cattle in Beja district or SB0121‑M34 shared by the three hosts in Castelo Branco and Beja districts. These genomic data, together with metadata, were integrated in a Bayesian inference framework, identifying fve ancestral M. bovis populations. The phylogeographic segregation of M. bovis in specifc areas of Portugal where the disease persists locally is postulated. Concurrently, robust statistics indicates an association of the most probable ancient population with cattle and Beja, providing a clue on the origin of animal TB epidemics.

Fieldwork activity in Serra of Sicó (Central Portugal): a innovative strategy in teaching and learning Geology Estefânia Pires (1), João Pires (2), Nuno Santos (3), and Luís Costa (4) (1) Pombal Middle and High School, Pombal, Portugal; CITEUC - Centre for Earth and Space Research of the University of Coimbra, Coimbra, Portugal ([email protected]), (2) Pombal Middle and High School, Pombal, Portugal ([email protected]), (3) Pombal Middle and High School, Pombal, Portugal ([email protected]), (4) Pombal Middle and High School, Pombal, Portugal ([email protected]) In Portugal, the official curriculum of Natural Sciences (NS) in middle and high schools has highlighted the impor- tance of a greater school-environment relationship, and calls for the need to complement activities in the classroom with the development of practical activities in the field. The development of activities of this type, taking into ac- count the curriculum and the potentialities of the region where the schools are located, is considered an innovative and motivating strategy to be implemented in middle and high schools, in Science Education in general, and Geo- sciences in particular. Recognizing the importance of these activities in teaching and learning Geology, a fieldwork activity planned and applied to students of the 7th grade, in the discipline of NS, was carried out at the end of the 2017/2018 academic year, at Pombal middle and high school. The field activity took place in the Serra of Sicó (central Portugal), in the Leiria district because this area has a great geological interest, namely diverse karst for- mations and geological structures.
