FYI, that link should be:

http://www.ucop.edu/ile/conferences/grad_conf/sharone.pdf

If you go to

http://www.ucop.edu/ile/conferences/grad_conf/index.html

you'll find links to a number of papers, including that one, mostly 
dealing with CA and Mexico employment and labour, but there are 
some papers that look (from the description--I haven't read them!) to 
be more general in application.
