Marginal Cost Pricing, Investment Theory And Catv, Victor P. Goldberg

Faculty Scholarship

In his article, Marginal Cost Pricing, Investment Theory and CATV, James Ohls makes a number of erroneous assertions concerning the optimum pricing of CATV. Most of his problems stem from a failure to properly define the environment in which the optimum price is to be set and the role that an optimum price should play. If one alters Ohls' implicit (and sometimes contradictory) assumptions and if one keeps in mind the purpose prices should serve in an economic system, a number of Ohls' conclusions are altered.

Dean William C. Warren, Michael I. Sovern

Faculty Scholarship

It would be virtually impossible, even if I were to preempt this entire issue of the Columbia Law Review for the purpose, to document fully the monumental contributions William C. Warren made to the Law School during the seventeen years of his deanship. I can hope only to touch lightly upon them, leaving the reader to admire the foresight, the energy, the generosity of spirit, and the long hours of dedicated effort which enabled him to accomplish so much.

Bringing The Vagueness Doctrine On Campus, George A. Bermann, Ballard Jamieson Jr.

Faculty Scholarship

Although students have traditionally paid little attention to university disciplinary codes, recent campus disturbances have given these codes unprecedented significance. Those subjected to disciplinary proceedings have charged, among other things, that the provisions which regulate their behavior are too vague to inform them of what they may and may not do. Arguing that a broadly-worded code of conduct is necessary to govern, university administrators, however, have refused to make their regulations more precise.

Decision Trees, Peter L. Strauss, Michael R. Topping

Faculty Scholarship

The object of this paper is to inform those concerned with the administration of justice in Ethiopia – particularly, criminal justice – about a new and simple procedure which may assist in procuring uniform interpretation and application of laws and regulations. The problem of uniform interpretation and application is particularly severe where, as in Ethiopia, new laws must be interpreted and applied by persons who have not yet had the opportunity of formal legal education. For these persons the discovery of the relevant code articles and the understanding of their interrelationships and application must be very difficult indeed. One possible …

Extemporaneous Comment, Michael S. Baram

Faculty Scholarship

Well, I think today we have heard two ideas which are intuitive to the emerging role of the law school. One is Arthur Miller's idea of creating centers of policy analysis and the other is what several other speakers have suggested about interdisciplinary and clinical interdisciplinary programs. I would like to speak against the former and for the latter.

The Social Control Of Science And Technology, Michael S. Baram

Faculty Scholarship

Science and technology increasingly work changes in the complex matrix of society. These changes pervade our ecological systems and our physical and psychic health. Less perceptibly, they pervade our culture, our values, and our value based institutions such as the law. In turn, our values and institutions shape the progress and utilization of science and technology.

As we know, science and technology have provided society with enormous material benefits and a higher standard of living and health. But we now realize that this process has been accompanied by alarming rates of resource consumption and many new hazards to ecological systems …

Criminal Procedure For Juvenile Offenders In Ethiopia, Stanley Z. Fisher

Faculty Scholarship

The purpose of this article is to set out, in summary fashion, the law concerning juvenile offenders in Ethiopia. Our focus will be on procedural rather than substantive aspects-insofar as it is possible to separate the two-and particularly upon the enforcement of constitutional guarantees in the process.

Domestic Distortions, Tariffs, And The Theory Of Optimum Subsidy: Some Further Results, Jagdish N. Bhagwati, V.K. Ramaswami, T.N. Srinivasan

Faculty Scholarship

Bhagwati and Ramaswami (1963) showed that if there is a distortion, the Paretian first-best policy is to intervene with a tax (subsidy) at the point at which the distortion occurs. Hence a domestic tax-cum-subsidy with respect to production would be first-best optimal when there was a domestic distortion (defined as the divergence between domestic prices and the marginal rate of transformation in domestic production) just as a tariff policy would be first-best optimal under monopoly power in trade (which involves a foreign distortion). An important corollary, for the case of a distortionary wage differential, is that while a tax-cum-subsidy policy …

Contributions To Indian Economic Analysis: A Survey, Jagdish N. Bhagwati, Sukhamoy Chakravarty

Faculty Scholarship

Any survey of contributions to economic analysis in India, even though confined to the post-war years and to issues arising from domestic economic events and policy, runs into exceptional difficulties. Not only has practically every conceivable problem been raised and discussed by economists, in a country where interest in economic issues dates back at least to the latter half of the 19th century; but there have also been numerous committees and commissions whose report have led to a voluminous literature.

Ruthless selectivity has thus been inevitable. We have generally focussed, in this survey, on contributions which meet the following criteria: …

Professionalism And Student Protest, Paul D. Carrington

Faculty Scholarship

The attributes of professionalism, which are the hallmark of the lawyer's calling, can be used to help institutions and the public understand and effectively deal with student protest and disorder. An unruffled, low keyed reaction is needed in most cases with the law's processes reserved for occasions that cannot be handled as intramural clashes.
