Exploring The Validity Of Covenants-Not-To-Compete In Nebraska, Rachel Leigh

Covenants-not-to-compete have been an issue between employers and employees for centuries. Within the last century, it has been common for these disputes to end up in the courtroom; Nebraska is no exception. The following paper will analyze what the Nebraska Supreme Court expects from a covenant-not-to-compete in order for it to be enforceable. The three components that the courts need present in a covenant will be explained and linked with past Nebraska cases. These cases paint a clear picture for employers on what must be included in a covenant-not-to-compete for it to be upheld in court.

Estimating Social Costs Of Rail Transportation In Japan, Arisa Ito
Undergraduate Research Journal
In this study, I examine several factors that are related to the social costs of rail transportation in Japan by using a constructed Japanese dataset and regression analysis. Unlike previous studies, the components of the social costs in this study focus on current environmental matters such as global warming and air pollution. Also, the regression analysis controls for population, revenue per passenger, passenger density, rail length, and gas emission. This study may help to improve technology and services, and minimize losses in the future of the rail industry.
