Women In Law, Barb Kube '94
The Park Place Economist
As mentioned earlier, the Bergmann model predicts that female and male lawyers will be segregated into different areas of practice. If this is the case, what are the forces behind this sector-specific segregation? On the supply side, Becker relies on the Neoclassical theories of utility maximization and human capital theory. These theories suggest that an increase in the store of human capital through training and education will be undertaken by the employee or provided by the employer if the benefits exceed the cost.

Cumulative Voting And Single Member Districts In Industrial Organization, Joshua Yount '95
Cumulative Voting And Single Member Districts In Industrial Organization, Joshua Yount '95
The Park Place Economist
Lani Guinier's proposals were neither radical nor undemocratic. In fact, cumulative voting is more efficient, democratic, and fair than the plurality rule single member district arrangement currently in use in most of the United States that Guinier's critics held up as the paragon of democracy. The importance of these qualities, especially to minorities in a pluralistic democracy, cannot be overstated. Efficient, democratic, and fair electoral systems prevent government from ignoring minority rights and interests by turning mere enfranchisement into empowerment, which in tum, affords minorities the same access to and proportionate power in America's social, economic, and political institutions.

Competitive Balance In Major - League Baseball, Matthew T. Jontry '95
The Park Place Economist
Major League Baseball is in trouble. The recent players' strike is just one in a series of player/owner problems that have beset this sport over the past century. Since the U.S. Supreme Court granted baseball owners exemption from the Sherman and Clayton Antitrust Acts in 1922, a constant and ongoing battle has been waged between owners and players on what is best for the competitive balance of the game, for the financial stability of the clubs, and for the welfare of the players.
