SUMMARY.The questionnaire (LAWSEQ) was constructed to measure self-esteem in primary school children. The questions were selected to cover the main areas of concern shown by children in an earlier counselling study. There were 20 questions in the original version, including four innocuous ones, and with a parallel form (Form B). In the final version the questionnaire comprises 16 items, chosen as a result of an item analysis carried out by the University of Bristol Department of Child Health.

Sources of profit change for Telstra, Australia's largest telecommunications firm, are examined. A new method allows for changes in a firm's profits to be broken down into separate effects due to productivity change, price changes and growth in the firm's size. This in turn allows us to calculate the distribution of the benefits of productivity improvements between consumers, labour and shareholders. The results show that around half the benefits from Telstra's productivity improvements from 1984 to 1994 were passed on to consumers in the form of real price reductions.JEL Classification: C43, D24
