Availability Cascades And Risk Regulation, Timur Kuran Oct 2007

Availability Cascades And Risk Regulation, Timur Kuran

Public Law and Legal Theory Working Papers

An availability cascade is a self-reinforcing process of collective belief formation by which an expressed perception triggers a chain reaction that gives the perception increasing plausibility through its rising availability in public discourse. The driving mechanism involves a combination of informational and reputational motives: Individuals endorse the perception partly by learning from the apparent beliefs of others and partly by distorting their public responses in the interest of maintaining social acceptance. Availability entrepreneurs-- activists who manipulate the content of public discourse-strive to trigger availability cascades likely to advance their agendas. Their availability campaigns may yield social benefits, but sometimes they …


The Effects Of Collective Efficacy And Dissatisfaction With Law Enforcement On Neighborhood Crime Rates, Kelly E. Cobb Oct 2007

The Effects Of Collective Efficacy And Dissatisfaction With Law Enforcement On Neighborhood Crime Rates, Kelly E. Cobb

Sociology & Criminal Justice Theses & Dissertations

The purpose of this thesis was to examine the effects of collective efficacy and dissatisfaction with law enforcement on neighborhood crime rates. A data set was obtained from the Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research titled, Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods: Community Survey 1994-1995 (PHDCN). This is one of the only studies which ask specific questions concerning collective efficacy and dissatisfaction with law enforcement, accompanied with a large, diverse sample. This research is important because it looks at two concepts, collective efficacy and dissatisfaction with law enforcement and their combined effect on neighborhood crime rates; violent …

The New Massachusetts Health Law: Preemption And Experimentation, Edward A. Zelinsky Oct 2007

The New Massachusetts Health Law: Preemption And Experimentation, Edward A. Zelinsky

Articles

The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) preempts major features of the new Massachusetts health law. Although regrettable, this conclusion is mandated by ERISA's statutory terminology and the controlling case law. Other states, in fashioning their health care policies, are looking at elements of the new Massachusetts law. Just as ERISA preempts the individual and business contribution mandates of the Massachusetts statute, ERISA will preempt any similar provisions adopted by other states.

Because state experimentation with health care is particularly desirable today, Congress should, at a minimum, amend ERISA to validate the new Massachusetts health law. More comprehensively, …


Discrimination At Will: Job Security Protections And Equal Employment Opportunity In Conflict, Julie C. Suk Oct 2007

Discrimination At Will: Job Security Protections And Equal Employment Opportunity In Conflict, Julie C. Suk

Articles

The conventional wisdom amongst scholars and advocates of employment discrimination law is that the success of Title VII is significantly hampered by the enduring doctrine of employment at will. As long as employers have broad discretion to fire employees for any reason, no reason, or a bad reason, employers can easily get away with terminating or refusing to promote racial minorities and women as long as some credible nondiscriminatory reason, such as personal animosity, can be presented. This account feeds the widely accepted view that employment at will and the goals of Title VII, namely equal employment opportunity, are at …


Is The Market For Ceos Rational?, Charles M. Yablon Oct 2007

Is The Market For Ceos Rational?, Charles M. Yablon

Articles

The article challenges the arms-length bargaining model of CEO compensation, arguing that managerial power, social dynamics, and psychological factors significantly influence compensation decisions. It critiques both the managerial power thesis and the arms-length bargaining model, advocating for a more nuanced understanding that incorporates these non-economic influences. CEO compensation is not solely tied to performance but is shaped by boards' overconfidence, cognitive biases, and the cult of the CEO, leading to inefficient pay structures that often fail to align with shareholder interests.

Legal Implications Of 'Safe Passage' Reconciling A Viable Palestinian State With Israel's Security Requirements, Justus Reid Weiner, Diane Morrison Oct 2007

Legal Implications Of 'Safe Passage' Reconciling A Viable Palestinian State With Israel's Security Requirements, Justus Reid Weiner, Diane Morrison

Connecticut Journal of International Law

specially following the unilateral Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip during the summer of 1995, legal scholars and policy makers have increasingly turned to the question of the viability of the future Palestinian state. Terms such as 'territorial contiguity,' 'territorial continuity,' 'territorial connectivity,' 'a viable state,' and 'safe passage' are commonly employed in references to the future state of Palestine, which will comprise two territorial areas. One area of the state will be in the Gaza Strip and the other will be in the West Bank. Approximately twenty miles of the Negev, the southern region of Israel, will separate the …

Children's Behavioral Health Services In Baltimore: Walking The Continuum, Jennifer Ryan Sep 2007

Children's Behavioral Health Services In Baltimore: Walking The Continuum, Jennifer Ryan

National Health Policy Forum

This site visit explored the range of behavioral health services available for children in the city of Baltimore and in the state more broadly. Like many states, the policy community in Maryland has been working hard to meet the challenges of providing an effective continuum of care in the context of complex financing incentives and an overburdened educational and public health care system. Several promising practices have emerged, including the Wraparound practice model that offers individualized, comprehensive services and natural supports to achieve a positive set of outcomes for the child and family. The wraparound model incorporates both traditional services …

Medicare Advantage Payment Policy, Mark Merlis Sep 2007

Medicare Advantage Payment Policy, Mark Merlis

National Health Policy Forum

Medicare Advantage (MA) plans have become a source of supplemental benefits for many Medicare beneficiaries. In many cases, MA plans are able to finance these extra benefits only because Medicare is paying them more than it would have spent to cover the same beneficiaries on a fee-for-service basis. As Congress considers curbing MA plan payments, this background paper explains how MA plans are paid and reviews recent trends in plan participation and enrollment. It then considers key issues raised by proposals to change the payment system.


Car Flipping In The U.K.: The Vat Fraud Marketplace And Certified Solutions, Richard Thompson Ainsworth Sep 2007

Car Flipping In The U.K.: The Vat Fraud Marketplace And Certified Solutions, Richard Thompson Ainsworth

Faculty Scholarship

Missing Trader Intra-Community (MTIC) fraud and its offspring carousel fraud and contra trading fraud are siphoning huge amounts of VAT revenue from the UK Treasury. This fraud is not a function of the goods involved. It is a function of the market-place. Recently another type of market-place dependent VAT fraud has taken hold in the UK - car-flipping.

In some instances the market-place where these frauds festers is a pre-existing or natural market-place, one that grows out of legitimate commercial practices. Fraudsters enter this market-place (so the argument goes) and take advantage of legitimate businesses who unwittingly get caught up …
