Crime, Deterrence, And Right-To-Carry Concealed Handguns, David B. Mustard, John Lott
Coase-Sandor Working Paper Series in Law and Economics
Using cross-sectional time-series data for U.S. counties from 1977 to 1992, we find that allowing citizens to carry concealed weapons deters violent crimes and it appears to produce no increase in accidental deaths. If those states which did not have right-to-carry concealed gun provisions had adopted them in 1992, approximately 1,570 murders; 4,177 rapes; and over 60,000 aggravate assaults would have been avoided yearly. On the other hand, consistent with the notion of criminals responding to incentives, we find criminals substituting into property crimes involving stealth and where the probabilities of contact between the criminal and the victim are minimal. …

Offer, Acceptance, And Efficient Reliance, Richard Craswell
Offer, Acceptance, And Efficient Reliance, Richard Craswell
Articles
In this article, Professor Craswell explores efficient reliance as an implicit economic rationale underlying courts' decisions in contract formation cases. Contracting parties often fail to express their intentions clearly and courts must later decide what the parties would have wanted ex ante. When negotiations fail, one party (S) may deny ever making a commitment, while the other party (B) may claim to have relied on the first party's statements or conduct. Professor Craswell observes that courts often find a binding commitment by S when reliance by B would have been efficient. After explaining when reliance is efficient, and why the …

Congress, Constitutional Moments, And The Cost-Benefit State Legislative Foreword, Cass R. Sunstein
Congress, Constitutional Moments, And The Cost-Benefit State Legislative Foreword, Cass R. Sunstein
Articles
In this article, Cass Sunstein explores the 104th Congress' attempts at regulatory reform. Professor Sunstein believes that the election of this Congress, with its distinctive approach to government, signals the dawning of a "constitutional moment" in which the role of government at all levels will be reexamined. Without full public support for sweeping changes in government, this moment has not yet materialized. When and if it does, regulatory reform will be one of its aspects. Indeed the nation has already begun to examine regulation to determine ifth e benefits justify the costs. Unfortunately, the 104th Congress has, thus far, failed …

A lawyer representing seven-year-old James discussed James' options with him at considerable length. She explained to him that he had a number of choices about where he would live, some with family, some in foster care, and she took pains to discuss the likely consequences of each of his choices. James participated actively in the conversation, and had no trouble following the substance of the discussion. At the end of their conversation, the lawyer asked James what option he would like her to pursue. His direction to counsel: "I think I'd like to live with you.
