Can Hiring Quotas Work? The Effect Of The Nitaqat Program On The Saudi Private Sector

This paper studies the effects of quota-based labor regulations on firms in the context of Saudi Arabia\u27s Nitaqat program, which imposed quotas for Saudi hiring at private firms. I use a comprehensive firm-level administrative dataset and exploit kinks in hiring incentives generated by the quotas to estimate the effects of this policy. I find that the program increased native employment at substantial cost to firms, as demonstrated by increasing exit rates and decreasing total employment at surviving firms. Firms without any Saudi employees at the onset of the program appear to bear most of these costs

Graph for locked rotor current

Graph determines effect of stalled motor on a distribution system and eliminates hand calculation of amperage in emergencies. Graph is useful to any manufacturer, contractor, or maintenance department involved in electrical technology

Conceptual design for spacelab pool boiling experiment

A pool boiling heat transfer experiment to be incorporated with a larger two-phase flow experiment on Spacelab was designed to confirm (or alter) the results of earth-normal gravity experiments which indicate that the hydrodynamic peak and minimum pool boiling heat fluxes vanish at very low gravity. Twelve small sealed test cells containing water, methanol or Freon 113 and cylindrical heaters of various sizes are to be built. Each cell will be subjected to one or more 45 sec tests in which the surface heat flux on the heaters is increased linearly until the surface temperature reaches a limiting value of 500 C. The entire boiling process will be photographed in slow-motion. Boiling curves will be constructed from thermocouple and electric input data, for comparison with the motion picture records. The conduct of the experiment will require no more than a few hours of operator time

The Supreme Court of Canada, 1958-1966: A Search for Policy Through Scalogram Analysis

Judicial behaviouralism, a new school of thought developed in the United States, studies the administration of public law by courts as an aspect of political behaviour in continuous interaction with other political institutions and forces that, ipso facto, places judges in the role of policy maker. One such method of enquiry is the scalogram: a metrical tool that locates the attitudes of individuals on an attitudinal continuum or dimension. S.R. Peck investigates the work of the Supreme Court of Canada in areas of taxation, negligence and criminal law through scalogram analyses of judges’ voting patterns
