UM Economists Discover Unemployment Inflation
Two UM economists have discovered that millions of Americans became unemployment statistics for the sole reason that they applied for food stamps or other welfare benefits.
The fact that qualifying for financial assistance under many government programs requires registration for work has resulted in inflating the official unemployment figures, according to Drs. Kenneth W. Clarkson and Roger E. Meiners.
Dr. Clarkson is professor of economics at the Law and Economics Center and Dr. Meiners is one of the Center’s John M. Olin Fellows.
They say, in a study published by the
Center, that the inclusion of individuals who would not previously have been considered unemployed has had the effect of padding the unemployment rate over the past several years by approximately two and one-half percentage points.
Titled “Inflated Unemployment Statistics : Effects of Welfare Work-Registration Requirements,” the study shows that in 1976, when unemployment was officially measured at 7.7 percent, the actual unemployment rate under traditional standards was approximately 5.3 percent.
Copies of the Clarkson-Meiners study are available at $2.50 a copy from the Law and Economics Center.
Twelve Appointments Reactivate Student Financial Committee
The Committee on Student Financial Aid has been reactivated with the appointment of 12 UM people for the remainder of the fiscal year and the 1977-78 academic year.
Dr. William R. Butler, vice president for student affairs, announced the committee appointments, including the chairman, Ronald Hammond, director of student financial aid services.
Committee members are Dr. Ralph E. Boyer; George Giampetro; Bruce Heard; Dr. Peter Luykx; Michael Moloney; Dr. Howard Posposel; Ana Price; Dr. John Robinson; and UM students Sandra Cardone, Shirley Good and Gregory Norman.
The committee is charged with the following responsibilities:
—to facilitate centralization of all information relating to student financial
assistance;
—to recommend and monitor approved policy and procedures for all activities in the financial aid process which require inter-divisional coordination;
—to serve as a policy-recommending body for other matters which may involve institutional student financial assistance.
These could include:
—recommending the allocation and utilization of unspecified donor gifts to appropriate scholarship and loan categories;
—recommending policy involving general eligibility criteria for the awarding of funds allocated by the UM for student financial aid.
The committee is to serve as a vehicle for communication on financial aid matters within the University’s academic community.
