Beyond The Precautionary Principle, Cass R. Sunstein

Public Law and Legal Theory Working Papers

The precautionary principle has been highly influential in legal systems all over the world. In its strongest and most distinctive forms, the principle imposes a burden of proof on those who create potential risks, and it requires regulation of activities even if it cannot be shown that those activities are likely to produce significant harms. Taken in this strong form, the precautionary principle should be rejected, not because it leads in bad directions, but because it leads in no directions at all. The principle is literally paralyzing— forbidding inaction, stringent regulation, and everything in between. The reason is that in …

Trust And The Decision To Outsource: Affective Responses And Cognitive Processes, Mark Hansen, J.L. Morrow Jr.

Faculty Publications

Many of the various forms of cooperative strategy that firms are pursuing in today’s economy entail the placing of important business functions in the hands of a partner. This paper examines the role of trust in the decision by a producer to place the marketing function in the hands of another entity, namely a cooperative. Although others have studied the effect of what may be termed general trust on inter-organizational relationships, few have examined the antecedents of that trust. We propose a model in which affective responses and cognitive processes are precursors to a sense of general trust, which, in …

Analyzing Erp Implementation At A Public University Using The Innovation Strategy Model, Keng Siau, J. Messersmith

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems have revolutionized the way companies are using information technology in their businesses. ERP was created in an effort to streamline business processes and has proven to be successful in many operations. Unfortunately, not all ERP implementations have met expectations. One way that businesses may be able to increase success rates is to embrace creativity and innovation in their ERP implementations. For businesses to do this, they must first understand how creativity originates and how that creativity can be integrated into business solutions. This article presents a case study that examines the ERP implementation at a …

Trading Agents Competing: Performance, Progress And Market Effectiveness, Michael P. Wellman, Shih-Fen Cheng, Daniel M. Reeves, Kevin M. Lochner

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

The annual trading agent competition offers agent designers a forum for evaluating programmed trading techniques in a challenging market scenario. TAC aims to spur research by enabling researchers to compare techniques on a common problem and build on each other's ideas. A fixed set of assumptions and environment settings facilitates communication of methods and results. As a multiyear event, TAC lets researchers observe trading agents' progress over time, in effect accelerating the evolution of an adapted population of traders. Given all the participant effort invested, it is incumbent on us to learn as much from the experience as possible. After …

Performance Measurement Framework For Hierarchical Text Classification, Ee Peng Lim, Aixin Sun, Wee-Keong Ng

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Hierarchical text classification or simply hierarchical classification refers to assigning a document to one or more suitable categories from a hierarchical category space. In our literature survey, we have found that the existing hierarchical classification experiments used a variety of measures to evaluate performance. These performance measures often assume independence between categories and do not consider documents misclassified into categories that are similar or not far from the correct categories in the category tree. In this paper, we therefore propose new performance measures for hierarchical classification. The proposed performance measures consist of category similarity measures and distance-based measures that consider …

New Opportunities And Challenges In Heart Protection, Bernard Man-Yung Cheung, Chu-Pak Lau

Journal of the Hong Kong College of Cardiology

In the last decade, there have been several large- scale randomised controlled trials of lipid lowering therapy using 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-glutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors (statins) showing convincingly that lipid lowering therapy reduces cardiovascular events in patients with previous cardiovascular events (secondary prevention) and in hypercholesterolaemic patients who have not had such previous events (primary prevention).1,2 The recently published MRC/BHF Heart Protection Study is the first large clinical trial involving subjects who have a wide range of baseline cholesterol concentrations and who may not have had previous coronary events.3 20,536 adults in the United Kingdom were randomised in a 2 x 2 …

Environmental Impacts Of Modern Agricultural Technology Diffusion In Bangladesh: An Analysis Of Farmers' Perceptions And Their Determinants, S Rahman

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences

Farmers' perception of the environmental impacts of modern agricultural technology diffusion and factors determining such awareness were examined using survey data from 21 villages in three agro-ecological regions of Bangladesh. Results reveal that farmers are well aware of the adverse environmental impacts of modern agricultural technology, although their awareness remains confined within visible impacts such as soil fertility, fish catches, and health effects. Their perception of intangible impacts such as, toxicity in water and soils is weak. Level and duration of modern agricultural technology adoption directly influence awareness of its adverse effects. Education and extension contacts also play an important …

Torts, Tax Reporting, And Preemption: Is There Tort Liability For Incorrect Information Reports?, Jacob L. Todres

Faculty Publications

(Excerpt)

This Article explores the answer to what seems to be a simple and straightforward question, a question one would expect to have a relatively simple answer. The question is whether damages may be recovered from a negligent issuer of an incorrect federal tax information return? If one receives a form W-2 that overstates the wages received, or if one receives a form 1099 that overstates the amount of interest or dividends received and the recipient is damaged as a result, assuming negligence by the issuer, does a suit for damages lie under state law? While at first blush the …

De-Regulation Of The Air Waves: Is Antitrust Enough?, Edward D. Cavanagh

Journal of Civil Rights and Economic Development

(Excerpt)

By enacting the Telecommunications Act of 19961, Congress mandated large-scale deregulation of the television, radio, telecommunications and cable industries. Having successfully de-regulated the airline, interstate transportation and energy industries, Congress sought to dismantle the tangled legal, administrative and regulatory structure that had governed broadcast media and telecommunications for decades and replace it with a competitive model. Its goal was to minimize the inefficiencies inherent in any regulatory scheme and allow participants to reap the economic benefits of the free market. Equally important, Congress wanted to be sure that the emerging cable, satellite and cellular technologies were not stifled by …
