Ucc Breach Of Warranty And Contract Claims: Clarifying The Distinction, Timothy Davis

Timothy Davis

This article examines the existing legal framework that governs UCC Article 2 breach of warranty and breach of contract claims. After enumerating the circumstances that give rise to a buyer’s breach of contract in contrast to a breach of warranty claim, the Article examines cases that illustrate the practical and theoretical significance attached to understanding that breach of warranty and breach of contract constitute distinct causes of action. The Article then argues that although courts acknowledge the distinct nature of these two claims, judicial understanding of the distinction is often superficial. Focusing on Code provisions that govern disclaimers of implied …

The Health Effects Of Parental Problem Drinking On Adult Children, Michael T. French, Ana I. Balsa, Jenny F. Homer

Michael T. French

BACKGROUND: Much of the research on adult children of alcoholics has focused on the transmission of drinking patterns from parents to their children and the development of alcohol-related problems. Less is known about how exposure to parental problem drinking affects children as they progress into adulthood in terms of other mental health outcomes. This is crucial information, in part because the average age of onset for depression and other mental health disorders is during late adolescence or young adulthood. AIMS: The objective of this study was to rigorously assess the long-term impacts of parental problem drinking on adult children's mental …

Strategic Planning For Disaster Relief Logistics: Lessons From Supply Chain Management, Nezih Altay, Sameer Prasad, Jayavel Sounderpandian

Nezih Altay

Abstract: Management of disaster relief logistics requires different techniques at different levels. We identify four stages: 1 strategic planning which concerns high level decisions such as supplier selection and confirmation of communication protocols 2 preparedness which concerns decisions regarding the amount and location of relief supplies to be stored 3 pre-event response which concerns decisions during those occasions when an approaching disaster, such as a hurricane, has been detected 4 post-event response which concerns what needs to be done immediately after a disaster has occurred. In this article, we concentrate on the strategic planning stage and build an integrated logistics …

When Is Lying Illegal? When Should It Be? A Critical Analysis Of The Federal False Statements Act, Steven R. Morrison

Steven R Morrison

This article examines the federal False Statements Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1001(a)(2), from the standpoints of judicial interpretation, the law’s history, legislative history and congressional intent, public policy, and criminal law theory. It concludes that the dominant judicial interpretations do not accord with congressional intent to create a limited and targeted law. The statute as interpreted is extraordinarily broad such that it should be—but has not been and probably won’t be—declared unconstitutionally vague. Whether the law is unconstitutional or not, as interpreted it does not support wise public policy nor does it accord with dominant theories of criminal law. This …

Grossman's Health Threshold And Retirement, Titus Galama, Arie Kapteyn, Raquel Fonseca, Pierre-Carl Michaud

Titus Galama

We formulate a stylized structural model of health, wealth accumulation and retirement decisions building on the human capital framework of health provided by Grossman. We explicitly assume a functional form of the utility function and carefully account for initial conditions, which allow us to derive analytic solutions for the time paths of consumption, health, health investment, savings and retirement. We argue that the Grossman literature has been unnecessarily restrictive in assuming that health is always at Grossman’s “optimal” health level. Exploring the properties of corner solutions we find that advances in population health (health capital) can explain the paradox that …

Does The Constitutional Process Matter?, Zachary Elkins

Zachary Elkins

Constitution-making is a ubiquitous but poorly understood phenomenon. There is much speculation but relatively little evidence about the impact of different design processes on constitutional outcomes. Much of the debate reduces to the question of who is involved in the process and when. We consider two central issues in this regard. The first is the problem of institutional self-dealing, or whether governmental organs that have something to gain from the constitutional outcome should be involved in the process. The second has to do with the merits of public involvement in the process. Both of these concerns have clear normative implications …

Cross-Price Elasticity And Income Elasticity Of Demand: Are Your Students Confused?, Philip E. Graves, Robert L. Sexton

Robert L Sexton

The authors demonstrate that most textbooks are ambiguous at best in their treatment of cross-price elasticity and income elasticity of demand. There is also no discussion of what initiates a price increase in discussions of substitutes and complements in the textbooks examined. The authors offer a remedy for these deficiencies.
