Metals Or Management? Explaining Africa's Recent Economic Growth Spurt, Laura Nyantung Beny, Lisa D. Cook
Metals Or Management? Explaining Africa's Recent Economic Growth Spurt, Laura Nyantung Beny, Lisa D. Cook
Articles
Explanations for Africa's poor long-run growth performance have varied over time. The theories examined include geography (Jeffrey D. Sachs and Andrew Warner 1997); institutions (William Easterly and Ross Levine 1997; Daron Acemoglu, Simon Johnson, and James Robinson 2001, 2002; Nathan Nunn 2007, 2008); health (David Bloom and Sachs 1998; Gregory N. Price 2003); and economic dependency (William Darity 1982). More recently, economists have attempted to explain what The Economist has called Africa's new "period of unparalleled economic success" (The Economist 2008a, 33). Average annual real GDP growth was 1.8 percent between 1980 and 1989 and increased to 4.4 percent between …
Allocation Of Scarce Goods Under Section 2-615 Of The Uniform Commercial Code: A Comparison Of Some Rival Models, James J. White
Allocation Of Scarce Goods Under Section 2-615 Of The Uniform Commercial Code: A Comparison Of Some Rival Models, James J. White
Articles
Section 2-615 of the Uniform Commercial Code authorizes a contract seller to allocate goods in short supply when full performance has become commercially impracticable. Most of the cases under and commentary on that section have focused on the issue of commercial impracticability. The allocation aspects of the section have attracted much more modest attention in the cases and in the scholarly journals. The purpose of this article is to examine critically the allocation rule set out in section 2-615(b). That subsection authorizes a seller, upon a finding of commercial impracticability, to allocate "in any manner which is fair and reasonable." …
Constitutional Law-Relation Of Federal And State Governments- Title Of United States To Tidelands, John K. Delay, Jr.
Constitutional Law-Relation Of Federal And State Governments- Title Of United States To Tidelands, John K. Delay, Jr.
Michigan Law Review
For the past decade and a half, one of the most harrassing problems in the realm of federal-state relationships has been that concerned with the ownership of the so-called "tidelands." This struggle of interests, which involves 23,000 square miles of offshore lands within the boundaries of the littoral states, has developed since 1937; for prior to that time, the Federal Government recognized the states' claims, making no assertion of federal ownership. The development of the conflict appears to be coextensive with the discovery and development of valuable mineral deposits found under these submerged lands, which have been leased to private …

Federal Courts-Appeals-Finality Of Decree Dismissing Intervenor's Claim After Trial, J. D, Mcleod S. Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Dickinson, a promoter of Petroleum, sued Lloyd, his fellow promoter, to impress an equitable lien on certain stock in Lloyd's possession. Petroleum and some of its shareholders known as the ''Rinke subscribers" intervened, seeking to have the stock issue canceled because of fraud, and to recover damages for secret profits gained through breach of fiduciary duty to the corporation. In 1947, after trial, a decree was entered. Claims of both Dickinson and Lloyd were dismissed. Judgment against them was entered in favor of the class of subscribers, the decree providing that the several claims of the individual subscribers be liquidated …

Real Property - General Mineral Reservation In Deed - Lack Of Knowledge That Substance Is A Mineral, G. B. Myers
Michigan Law Review
In 1892 plaintiff's predecessor in title contracted to convey certain land to defendant, subject to a reservation of "all coal and mineral deposits in and upon said lands," and in 1896 he executed a deed to defendant containing the same reservation. Plaintiff, in 1947, filed a bill to quiet title to bauxite deposits on the land. Held, bill dismissed. Bauxite, not being generally regarded as a mineral at the time of conveyance, was not intended to be within the operation of the mineral reservation. Carson v. Missouri Pac. R.

Sales Taxes, Interstate Trade Barriers, And Congress: The Gulf Oil Case, M. R. Schlesinger
Sales Taxes, Interstate Trade Barriers, And Congress: The Gulf Oil Case, M. R. Schlesinger
Michigan Law Review
The capacity of the federal government to deal with the increasingly irritating problem of interstate trade barriers is an important question high-lighted by the recent Supreme Court decision in McGoldrick v. Gulf Oil Corp. The Court there decided that in view of the superior federal authority over foreign commerce Congress could validly prohibit an otherwise legal city sales tax on imported petroleum manufactured into fuel oil and sold for use on foreign-bound ships.
