Law As Largess: Shifting Paradigms Of Law For The Poor, Deborah M. Weissman
Law As Largess: Shifting Paradigms Of Law For The Poor, Deborah M. Weissman
Deborah M. Weissman
The article examines the tension between the principles of the Rule of Law and cultural norms of self-sufficiency. It begins by reviewing the principles of the Rule of Law as an ideal, the pursuit of which has led to historical efforts to meet the legal needs of the poor. It then examines recent legal events including federal statutory changes, three Supreme Court cases, and a federal circuit court case which have limited legal resources for those who cannot pay. The article then examines these developments in the context of a sea-change in the political environment of the nation, coinciding with …
Racial Differences In Homeownership: The Effect Of Residential Location, Yongheng Deng, Stephen L. Ross, Susan M. Wachter
Racial Differences In Homeownership: The Effect Of Residential Location, Yongheng Deng, Stephen L. Ross, Susan M. Wachter
Economics Working Papers
The rate of homeownership among African-American households is considerably lower than white households in American urban areas. This paper examines whether racial differneces in residential location outcomes are among the factors that contribute to the large racial differences in homeownership rates in major US metropolitan areas. Based on the 1985 metropolitan sample of the American Housing Survey for Philadelphia, the paper does not find any evidence that existing racial differences in residential location in Philadelphia decrease the homeownership rate among African Americans. Rather, the empirical evidence suggests that African-American residential location outcomes are associated with lower than expected racial differences …

Minority Representation Among National Board Certified Teachers, Ronna L. Gilani
Minority Representation Among National Board Certified Teachers, Ronna L. Gilani
Capstone Projects and Master's Theses
A case study examines the experiences of six teachers who have been candidates for certification by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS). Teachers needed specific kinds of support from the NBPTS, their school districts, and county-organized support groups, which were not fully met. Needs of minority candidates, in particular, are unfulfilled, leading to an inequity in the certification rates of minority candidates.
Market Efficiency And The Returns To Simple Technical Trading Rules: New Evidence From U.S. Equity Market And Chinese Equity Markets, Gary Gang Tian, Guang Hua Wan, Mingyuan Guo
Market Efficiency And The Returns To Simple Technical Trading Rules: New Evidence From U.S. Equity Market And Chinese Equity Markets, Gary Gang Tian, Guang Hua Wan, Mingyuan Guo
Faculty of Commerce - Papers (Archive)
Numerous studies in the finance literature have investigated technical analysis to determine its validity as an investment tool. This study is an attempt to explore whether some forms of technical analysis can predict stock price movement and make excess profits based on certain trading rules in markets with different efficiency level. To avoid using arbitrarily selected 26 trading rules as did by Brock, Lakonishok and LeBaron (1992) and later by Bessembinder and Chan (1998), this paper examines predictive power and profitability of simple trading rules by expanding their universe of 26 rules to 412 rules. In order to find out …
Ending A Mud Bowl: Defining Arbitration’S Finality Through Functional Analysis, Amy J. Schmitz
Ending A Mud Bowl: Defining Arbitration’S Finality Through Functional Analysis, Amy J. Schmitz
Faculty Publications
The Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) and Uniform Arbitration Act (UAA), on the state level, prescribe a nearly identical procedural and remedial scheme for promoting independent, self-contained arbitration. To that end, both acts curtail courts' review of arbitration awards, by limiting the grounds for vacating awards to those aimed at ensuring only basic procedural fairness. Nonetheless, seemingly "pro-arbitration" impulses have driven some courts' eager application, or misapplication, of the FAA/UAA statutory scheme to enforce dispute resolution agreements that reject the acts' limited review prescriptions. This Article tackles this arguable abuse of the FAA/UAA scheme, by proposing a functional analysis for defining …
An Optimal Fair Job Assignment Problem, Zaifu Yang
An Optimal Fair Job Assignment Problem, Zaifu Yang
Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers
We study the problem of how to allocate a set of indivisible objects like jobs or houses and an amount of money among a group of people as fairly and as efficiently as possible. A particular constraint for such an allocation is that every person should be assigned with the same number of objects in his or her bundle. The preferences of people depend on the bundle of objects and the quantity of money they take. We propose a solution to this problem, called a perfectly fair allocation. It is shown that every perfectly fair allocation is efficient and envy-free, …
Equity Issues In E-Education, Penelope Mcfarlane, Anne Fuller
Equity Issues In E-Education, Penelope Mcfarlane, Anne Fuller
Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A
The potential of the World Wide Web as a medium for course delivery was early recognized, and universities were quick to take advantage of its possibilities for reaching a wider and more diverse student population. As the amount of course content being offered online increases, both to internal and external students, universities are increasingly exposed to the possibility that students may claim they are disadvantaged by either the mode of delivery or, in the case of overseas students, the content itself. In this paper we review the explosion in internet-based delivery of courses and discuss the areas where we believe …
A Comparative Study Of State Educational *Policies: Systemic Models Of Equitable Reform, Celeste Ann Jackson Stansberry
A Comparative Study Of State Educational *Policies: Systemic Models Of Equitable Reform, Celeste Ann Jackson Stansberry
UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations
Substantive attention to disproportionate gaps in achievement between minorities and non-minorities has led state educational agencies to institute responsive policy mandates. The implementation of equity and multicultural policies has resulted in the development of strategies and evaluative measures that assist in building capacity within educational environments to meet the needs of diverse groups of students. This comparative case study examines the ways in which two states have addressed issues of low educational attainment among ethnic and linguistic minority students by instituting equity policy mandates. The two state departments of education have reached out to stakeholders, developed action plans, and attempted …
Little Boxes: Can Optimal Commodity Tax Methodology Save The Debt-Equity Distinction?, Herwig J. Schlunk
Little Boxes: Can Optimal Commodity Tax Methodology Save The Debt-Equity Distinction?, Herwig J. Schlunk
Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications
Optimal commodity tax methodology has been proposed as a way of making difficult line drawing decisions in the income tax. This paper explores some practical difficulties with the approach, and concludes that in one area - the debt-equity divide - the approach is unlikely to prove useful over any significant time horizon.
