Do All The Resource Problems In The West Begin In The East?, Jason Shogren
Do All The Resource Problems In The West Begin In The East?, Jason Shogren
Jason Shogren
Economics can make good policy better and bad policy go away - a message often constrained by the political realities surrounding federal resource policy toward the West. This essay responds to these challenges to economic reasoning based on the lessons learned after a stay at the Council of Economic Advisers. My goal is to help make apolitical economists more effective advocates of efficiency.

Those Ever Changing And Unexplainable Mexican Exports To The United States, Robert C. Shelburne
Robert C. Shelburne
This paper provides an updated overview of U.S. imports from Mexico with an emphasis on determining how these imports have changed since the implementation of NAFTA. The changes that have occured in the sectoral distribution of U.S. imports from Mexico are explored with an emphasis on the role of the NAFTA tariff changes, the historical sectoral growth trend, the share of Mexican imports of total imports, and growth trends in U.S. imports from the world.

The Impact Of Youth Characteristics And Experiences On Transitions Out Of Poverty, Michael C. Seeborg, Mark Israel
The Impact Of Youth Characteristics And Experiences On Transitions Out Of Poverty, Michael C. Seeborg, Mark Israel
Michael Seeborg
Although the causes of intergenerational transitions from poverty have attracted the attention of economists and sociologists in recent years, there have been few attempts to integrate ideas from both disciplines. Using a sample of young adults who were impoverished as youth, this study explores the effects of a number of background characteristics such as early welfare dependency, substance abuse, teen parenthood and parent's educational attainment on the family income levels of young adults. It finds that many of these background variables have significant indirect influences on family income through intervening variables, especially the respondent's own educational attainment, welfare dependency, and …
Environmental Taxes And The Double-Dividend Hypothesis: Did You Really Expect Something For Nothing?, Don Fullerton, Gilbert Metcalf
Environmental Taxes And The Double-Dividend Hypothesis: Did You Really Expect Something For Nothing?, Don Fullerton, Gilbert Metcalf
Don Fullerton
The "double-dividend hypothesis" suggests that increased taxes on polluting activities can provide two kinds of benefits. The first dividend is an improvement in the environment, and the second dividend is an improvement in economic efficiency from the use of environmental tax revenues to reduce other taxes such as income taxes that distort labor supply and saving decisions. In this paper, we make four main points. First, the validity of the double-dividend hypothesis cannot logically be settled as a general matter. Second, the focus on revenue in this literature is misplaced. We demonstrate that three policies have equivalent impacts on the …
Policies For Green Design, Don Fullerton, Wenbo Wu
Policies For Green Design, Don Fullerton, Wenbo Wu
Don Fullerton
A simple general equilibrium model is used to analyze disposal-content fees, subsidies for recyclable designs, unit-pricing of household disposal, deposit-refund systems, and manufacturer “take-back” requirements. Firms use primary and recycled inputs to produce output that has two “attributes”: packaging per unit output, and recyclability. If households pay the social cost of disposal, then they send the right signals to producers to reduce packaging and to design products that can more easily be recycled. If garbage is collected for free, then socially optimum attributes can still be achieved by a tax on producers’ use of packaging and subsidy to recyclable designs.
Critique Of The Critique: Analysis Of Hodgson On Marx On Evolution, Howard J. Sherman
Critique Of The Critique: Analysis Of Hodgson On Marx On Evolution, Howard J. Sherman
HOWARD J SHERMAN
Hodgson claims that Marxism is incompatible with Darwinian biological evolution. That was true of earlier Socialist and Communist theories of economic determinism, but it is not true of the contemporary generation of critical Marxists.

International Openness, Technology And Productivity: An Empirical Investigation For Italy, Roberta De Santis
International Openness, Technology And Productivity: An Empirical Investigation For Italy, Roberta De Santis
Roberta De Santis
Is international openness associated with faster economic growth? This paper tries to establish the effect of technology and market opening on labour productivity in Italy. The simple model developed in this paper shows that more open economies have higher rate of technical progress, higher productivity and higher GDP. The model assumes that there are two sources of technical progress growth: a domestic source, associated with innovation (i.e. R&D) and an international one, related to the rate at which the country is able to imitate technological progress originated in the leading innovating nations. According to this model in Italy the internationalisation …
Taxing Personhood: Estate Taxes And The Compelled Commodification Of Identity, Ray D. Madoff
Taxing Personhood: Estate Taxes And The Compelled Commodification Of Identity, Ray D. Madoff
Ray D. Madoff
In this Article, Professor Madoff explores the ways in which the blunt tools of the wealth tax, and in particular the estate tax, uses a one-size-fits-all system to impose a tax on all property interests owned at the time of one’s death. Professor Madoff illustrates the ways in which these blunt tools can produce problematic results by examining their application to the right of publicity, a newly recognized property interest. Professor Madoff suggests that the imposition of the estate tax can force the commodification of an individual’s identity, regardless of one’s desire to refrain from marketing their identity, and explores …
"Public Use" And The Independent Judiciary: Condemnation In An Interest-Group Perspective, Donald J. Kochan
"Public Use" And The Independent Judiciary: Condemnation In An Interest-Group Perspective, Donald J. Kochan
Donald J. Kochan
This Article reexamines the doctrine of public use under the Takings Clause and its ability to impede takings for private use through an application of public choice theory. It argues that the judicial validation of interest-group capture of the condemnation power through a relaxed public use standard in Takings Clause review can be explained by interest group politics and public choice theory and by institutional tendencies inherent in the independent judiciary. Legislators can sell the eminent domain power to special interests for almost any use, promising durability in the deal given the low probability that the judiciary will invalidate it …
