The Informal Property Rights Of Boomerang Children In The Home, Shelly Kreiczer-Levy
The Informal Property Rights Of Boomerang Children In The Home, Shelly Kreiczer-Levy
Maryland Law Review
Adult children living with their parents represent an increasingly common social phenomenon in the United States that challenges the boundaries of both the family and formal property rights. What is the legal status of adult children living with their parents? Do parents have any additional duties when they rescind permission for their child to live with them?

Cities, Property, And Positive Externalities, Gideon Parchomovsky, Peter Siegelman
Peter Siegelman
Cities are the locales of numerous interactions that generate externalities—both negative and positive. Although the common law provides a vast array of mechanisms for limiting negative externalities, there is a striking absence of provisions for stimulating the production of positive ones. As a consequence, activities whose social benefits are greater than their private costs are not undertaken, with a resulting efficiency loss.
In this Article, we demonstrate how cities can develop commercial districts that allow for the capture of positive externalities by following the example of suburban malls. In malls, anchor stores provide positive externalities—additional customers—to neighboring stores. Anchors capture …
