Prior to its introduction, gloomy predictions were made in many quarters about the likely employment effects of the minimum wage. But new research by Professor Mark Stewart of the 天美传媒, presented at the Royal Economic Society's Annual Conference on Wednesday 27 March shows that many of these forecasts have proved very wide of the mark. Careful examination of three large nationally representative data sets reveals that the minimum wage has had no significant adverse effects on employment.

The Italian Government is expected to declare a state of nation-wide emergency in response to the arrival of 1,000 Kurdish boat people in Sicily.

Research chemists at the 天美传媒 have devised and patented a new process called Living and Controlled Radical Polymerisation which can cheaply and easily grow designer polymers (plastics). They have already used the process to produce a wide range of designer polymer designs that are now being tested by major companies for use in applications as diverse as hairspray, anti-obesity drugs and inkjet printer ink.
