Transfer Regulations And Cost-Effectiveness Analysis, Eric A. Posner

Articles

Recent scholarship on regulatory oversight has focused on cost-benefit analysis of prescriptive regulations--regulations that restrict behavior such as pollution-and their use to cure market failures, and has overlooked the vast number of transfer regulations. Transfer regulations are regulations that channel funds to beneficiaries. These regulations are authorized by statutes that establish entitlement programs like Medicare and Social Security, pay one-time distributions to victims of misfortunes such as natural disasters and the 9/11 terrorist attack, and fund pork barrel spending. Cost-benefit analysis cannot be used to evaluate transfer regulations because all transfer regulations fail cost-benefit analysis; cost-effectiveness analysis, however, can be …

Reparations For Slavery And Other Historical Injustices, Eric A. Posner, Adrian Vermeule

Articles

Victims of historical injustices who have no positive law claim against wrongdoers often seek reparations from governments, and occasionally they obtain them. The best known reparations programs are those for Japanese Americans who were interned by the United States government during World War II, and for victims of the Nazi Holocaust. But there are several other less well known programs both in the United States and abroad, and there are countless proposals for new reparations programs, including a proposal for slave reparations in the United States. The moral and political arguments for and against reparations in diverse contexts have received …

The Relationship Between Service Utilization And Medicaid Enrollees’ Trust In Health Care Providers, Huey Jen Chen

Mental Health Law & Policy Faculty Publications

Based on findings from 1990 National Co-morbidity Survey, it is estimated that nearly 20% of the U.S. population is affected by mental disorders during a given year. Approximately 5.4% of adults are considered to have a serious mental illness that interferes with their social function, and half of them suffer from severe and persistent mental illness (SMI). Mental illness imposes a high socioeconomic burden that is second only to cardiovascular disease (Kessler, Berglund, Zhao et al., 1996; Kessler, McGonagle, Zhao et al., 1994).

Among individuals with SMI, 40% do not seek any treatment from either general medical or specialty mental …

Reading With Your Preadolescent Children At Home: A Workshop For Parents, Elizabeth Jane Keefe

All Graduate Projects

Reading comprehension is a continuous process of evolving thinking. When readers read, they carry on an inner conversation with the text. Readers respond with wonder, delight, and even outrage. They question the text, argue with the author, and nod their heads in agreement. They make connections, ask questions, and draw inferences to better understand and learn from what they read. Programs that involve parents in their children's education have been found to have a positive influence on a child's academic performance and cognitive development. Secondly, book-reading experiences have correlated strongly with success in reading, leading experts to conclude that preparing …
