摘要:

Numerous studies suggest that family or community effects dominate the production process in public education, and that marginal products of public school inputs are virtually zero. This paper argues that such findings result from ignoring the variety of school outputs, and the possibility for community choice among them. Systematic differences in school output preferences, by socioeconomic status and race, are used to explain differences in school outputs, usually taken to indicate differences in production possibilities. Estimates of multiple output production and cost functions allowing for choice do show reductions in background effects on production possibilities, though some effects remain.

摘要:

The putatively beneficial effect of punishment on criminal offenders is examined by estimating a logistic specification of a two‐period model of optimal participation in illegitimate and legitimate activities. Estimates are obtained utilizing a sample of parolees released from all adult correctional institutions in the United States during 1972. The conclusion would seem to be that incarceration is not substantially effective in rehabilitation efforts and may even have a result opposite to that intended: increased punishment may increase optimal participation in crim

摘要:

A model of team production in legal partnerships, based on the Alchian‐Demsetz theory of the firm, is developed and tested empirically in this paper. An estimate of the optimal law‐firm size for controlling costly free riding behavior in partnerships is derived. Finally, some survivorship evidence on law‐firm sizes, some comparisons of legal and medical group practices, and some thoughts on the role of the sole proprietor in the market for legal services are pres

摘要:

Theory argues that negative income taxes will increase the economic risks that workers take in the labor market. Data from the income maintenance experiments is analyzed to reveal that those workers subject to a NIT seemed to bear more risks than their control group counterparts. Implications and reservations about this finding are offered.

摘要:

The Land Act of 1870, which introduced “tenant rights” to most of Ireland, was the prototype of the modern land reform. This paper develops an alternative to the conventional view that the Land Act was instituted to redistribute wealth. It is suggested that tenant rights became economically valuable as a result of massive emigration from Ireland in the nineteenth century. Data on land rents and landlord investment are consistent with this “efficiency” hypothesis, and tend to refute the “redistribution”

摘要:

This study shows that recent technological advancements in weapons, the policy of detente, and the strategic reorientation of NATO are increasing the relative importance of damage‐limiting weapons. The resulting increases in excludable benefits and common‐interest awareness permit NATO allies to share defense burdens more efficiently via markets according to benefits received than was the case in the 1960s. The statistical results support our hypothesis that the distribution and nature of benefits, not industrial size, determine the relative burdens of the allies. Statistical tests discriminate between the joint product and deterrence models.War is a matter not so much of arms as of expenditure, through which arms may be made of service. (Thucydides, Histor
