Litigation and Settlement: New Evidence from Labor Courts in Mexico

Abstract: Using a newly assembled data set on procedures filed in Mexican labor tribunals, the authors of this paper study the determinants of final awards to workers. On average, workers recover less than 30 percent of their claim. The strongest result is that workers receive higher percentages of their claims in settlements than in trial judgments. It is also found that cases with multiple claimants against a single firm are less likely to be settled, which partially explains why workers involved in these procedures receive lower percentages of their claims. Finally, the authors find evidence that a worker who exaggerates his or her claim is less likely to settle.

A globally exponentially stable speed observer for a class of mechanical systems: experimental and simulation comparison with high-gain and sliding mode designs

Abstract: It is shown in the paper that the problem of speed observation for mechanical systems that are partially linearisable via coordinate changes admits a very simple and robust (exponentially s...

El efecto de los salarios mínimos en los ingresos laborales de México

Abstract: Este articulo analiza el efecto de los salarios minimos en los ingresos laborales en Mexico. Con paneles de datos de la Encuesta Nacional de Empleo Urbano (ENEU) y con los registros administrativos del Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social (IMSS) se muestra que cambios en el salario minimo real tienen un efecto de signo positivo en el cambio de los ingresos laborales para todos los grupos salariales. El efecto es mas debil en los trabajadores que ganan varias veces el monto del salario minimo. Tambien se muestra que este efecto era mas grande en el periodo que abarca de 1985 a 1993 que entre 1994 y 2001, lo cual sugiere que este efecto esta perdiendo fuerza.

Periurethral injection of autologous fat for the treatment of post-fistula repair stress incontinence: a preliminary report.

Abstract: The aim of the study was to asses the effectiveness of periurethral injection of autologous fat for the treatment of stress incontinence caused by inherent sphincter weakness in women following the repair of obstetric urogenital fistulae. Ten patients with symptomatic stress incontinence following repair of vesicovaginal or urethrovaginal fistula of obstetric origin were assessed clinically, by cystourethroscopy, and by Valsalva leak-point pressure (VLPP). Four showed some degree of bladder neck mobility and were treated by bladder neck suspension procedures. Six appeared to have pure sphincter weakness and were treated by periurethral injection of autologous fat. For logistic reasons, the initial follow-up was undertaken 2 weeks postoperatively, including clinical assessment and VLPP. Two patients were subjectively cured, 2 improved and 2 perceived no change in their symptoms following the procedure. The symptomatic changes correlated with the operative appearance, and with the subsequent changes in VLPP. Although numbers are small and follow-up short, we feel that these preliminary results justify further investigation of the technique in this most difficult group of patients.
