<p>In contrast to the believed similarity in their health outcomes, workers in different Western countries report very different rates of work disability. Using new data from the United States and the Netherlands, we offer a partial resolution to this paradox. We find that observed differences in reported work disability largely stem from the fact that Dutch respondents have a lower threshold in reporting whether they have a work disability than American respondents. For those who do not suffer from pain, work disability is similar in both countries once thresholds are the same. For respondents with pain, however, a significant difference remains.</p>

<p>Many major police departments face ongoing challenges in recruiting and retaining police officers. Heightened concern about terrorist attacks has exacerbated this problem by increasing demands on local law enforcement agencies. One way to address this is to develop a force management plan that focuses on future demand for personnel and creative sources of supply. This study outlines key issues that a local police department should address in planning for future personnel needs.</p>

<p>Economists in the tradition of John Maynard Keynes advocated activist countercyclical economic policies: increases in spending or decreases in taxes that are implemented during economic downturns in order to dampen business cycles. New policies took neoclassical emphases on fostering price stability, improving incentives to work and save, and increasing the potential for long-run growth.</p>
