The Ups and Downs in Women's Employment: Shifting Composition or Behavior from 1970 to 2010?
This paper tracks factors contributing to the ups and downs in women鈥檚 employment from 1970 to 2010 using regression decompositions focusing on whether changes are due to shifts in the means (composition of women) or due to shifts in coefficients (inclinations of women to work for pay). Compositional shifts in education exerted a positive effect on women鈥檚 employment across all decades, while shifts in the composition of other family income, particularly at the highest deciles, depressed married women鈥檚 employment over the 1990s contributing to the slowdown in this decade. A positive coefficient effect of education was found in all decades, except the 1990s, when the effect was negative, depressing women鈥檚 employment. Further, positive coefficient results for other family income at the highest deciles bolstered married women鈥檚 employment over the 1990s. Models are run separately for married and single women demonstrating the varying results of other family income by marital status. This research was supported in part by an Upjohn Institute Early Career Research Award

NACA Technical Notes
Note presenting wind-tunnel tests to ascertain the total-pressure recovery of a circular nose inlet utilizing various shapes of inlet lips. The tests were conducted at a free-stream Mach number of 0.237 with inlet flows ranging from low values to choking and at angles of attack from 0 to 25 degrees

NACA Research Memorandums
Memorandum presenting a study made to ascertain some of the operational characteristics of four types of air-induction systems for a turbojet-powered airplane intended to operate at a range of Mach numbers at an altitude of 35,332 feet. The investigation included air-induction systems with and wthout ramps to produce oblique shock waves, with fixed and variable inlet areas, and with divergent diffusers
