A Reciprocal Welfare Program, Amy L. Wax
A Reciprocal Welfare Program, Amy L. Wax
All Faculty Scholarship
This paper examines how social welfare programs should be structured to comport with the principle of conditional reciprocity. A previous paper, Rethinking Welfare Rights, 63 Law & Contemporary Problems 257 (Winter/Spring 2000), drew upon voter survey data to suggest that a powerful cluster of attitudes governs citizens' views on social redistribution. Most people accept collective responsibility for the poor but adhere to a moralistic distinction between deserving and undeserving recipients of public aid. They view entitlement to group resources as conditional on each person's reasonable effort, consistent with ability, to support himself and his family. It was speculated that the …
Assessing The Advocacy Of Negotiated Rulemaking: A Response To Philip Harter, Cary Coglianese
Assessing The Advocacy Of Negotiated Rulemaking: A Response To Philip Harter, Cary Coglianese
All Faculty Scholarship
For many years, advocates of negotiated rulemaking have advanced enthusiastic claims about how negotiated rulemaking would reduce litigation and shorten the rulemaking process. In an earlier study, I tested these claims systematically by assessing the effectiveness of negotiated rulemaking against existing rulemaking processes. I found that negotiated rulemaking neither saves time nor reduces litigation. Recently, Philip Harter, a longtime advocate of negotiated rulemaking, has criticized my study and asserted that negotiated rulemaking has succeeded remarkably in achieving its goals. Harter criticized the way I measured the length of the rulemaking process, claimed that I failed to appreciate differences in litigation, …
Givings, Abraham Bell, Gideon Parchomovsky
Givings, Abraham Bell, Gideon Parchomovsky
All Faculty Scholarship
Givings - government acts that enhance property value - are omnipresent. Givings and takings are mirror images of one another, and of equal practical and theoretical importance, but the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment has enabled takings to dominate scholarly attention. This Article makes the first step toward rectifying this disparate treatment by laying the foundation for a law of givings. The Article identifies three prototype givings: physical givings, regulatory givings and derivative givings. The Article shows that givings are a formative force in property, and that a comprehensive takings jurisprudence cannot be devised without an attendant understanding of …

Takings Reassessed, Abraham Bell, Gideon Parchomovsky
Takings Reassessed, Abraham Bell, Gideon Parchomovsky
All Faculty Scholarship
In this Essay, we challenge the conventional typology of constitutional takings by bringing to light a previously unrecognized type of taking-the derivative taking. We show that virtually every exercise of the power of takings generates derivative takings that have largely evaded takings scholars. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the failure of existing takings doctrine to account for derivative takings leads to inefficient and inequitable results. In particular, this failure disproportionately harms the poor. To remedy this problem, we craft an economic model of self-assessment to optimize constitutional protection at low administrative cost. Importantly, our self-assessment mechanism incentivizes property owners to report …
