A Continuous-Time Stochastic Model Of Job Mobility: A Comparison Of Male-Femals Hazard Rates Of Young Workers, John J. Donohue

John Donohue

This study examines male and female hazard rates in the periods 1968-1971 and 1979-1982 using data for young workers from the various samples of the National Longitudinal Surveys. Contrary to a number of previous micro-data studies, I demonstrate that for the period 1968-1971 female workers quit their initial full-time jobs at substantially higher rates than male workers. Moreover, while male hazard rates show a monotonic decline, female rates show a nonmonotonic u-shaped pattern, which I attribute to a "birth effect" -- young women leaving the labor force to have children.

For the period 1979-1982, however, young women had become almost …

The Separation Of Law And Morals, Noel Reynolds

Noel B Reynolds

The classic opposition of legal positivism and natural law theory resurfaces continually and reminds us that we have yet to resolve this key conflict in our ways of understanding the moral authority of law. The strengths and weaknesses of the two theories are reviewed—both have fatal flaws. Conventionalism is proposed as a means of finding internal standards in a man-made system of law. The naturally emerging standards for a conventionalist system of law turn out to be the already familiar principles of the rule of law.

The Efficient Delivery Of Arbitration Services Through Use Of The Arbitration Firm, Roger Abrams, Dennis Nolan

Roger I. Abrams

Labor arbitrators work as solo practitioners, appointed to hear grievance disputes that arise under collective bargaining agreements. One significant problem that arises is the available of experienced arbitrators to hear disputes expeditiously. In this article, Dean Abrams and Professor Nolan suggest an alternative form for the delivery of arbitration services through use of an arbitration firm that would address the issue of delay. A number of experienced arbitrators would join together in a partnership. Parties seeking arbitration services would contract with the firm, and arbitrators would be assigned to hear cases based on their availability.

Hume And His Critics--Reid And Kames, Noel B. Reynolds

Noel B Reynolds

This presentation was in response to Kenneth MacKinnon’s defense of Thomas Reid’s preference for natural virtue against David Hume’s conventionalism in his theory of law. It is argued that because Hume’s legal theory follows easily from his theory of human nature, Reid and Kames—and MacKinnon—need to refute Hume at that level to be successful in their rejection of his conventionalism.

Morality And The Rule Of Law, Noel Reynolds

Noel B Reynolds

This paper lays out the logic of a conservative view of liberty and morality based on an understanding of human nature as both social and rational on the one hand, and radically individual and self-seeking on the other. Without public virtue, a people cannot govern itself as a free people. But neither virtue nor moral truth can be legislated. The rule of law under constitutionalism is the most successful human arrangement for providing freedom and allowing moral action on the part of individuals.

Seniority Rights Under The Collective Agreement, Roger Abrams, Dennis Nolan

Roger I. Abrams

This article discusses the important factor of seniority which is used in most American workplaces as a measure of employee rights. Labor arbitrators are often asked to read and interpret seniority provisions in collective bargaining agreements to determine whether management has promoted the right person or laid off the wrong person. As “the coin of the industrial realm,” seniority normally defines job preferences, benefit eligibility and benefit calculation. The article analyzes and critiques a series of arbitration cases to determine whether they fulfill the parties’ expectations.
