Coase-Sandor Working Paper Series in Law and Economics

Urbanization presents students of commons dilemmas with a pressing challenge: how to achieve the benefits of proximity among people and land uses while curbing the negative effects of that same proximity. This piece, written for the 2014 BYU Law Review Sy

Human Capital Effects Of Anti-Poverty Programs: Evidence From A Randomized Housing Voucher Lottery, Brian A. Jacob, Max Kapustin, Jens Ludwig

Kreisman Working Paper Series in Housing Law and Policy

Whether government transfer programs increase the human capital of low-income children is a question of first-order policy importance. Such policies might help poor children if their parents are credit constrained, and so under-invest in their human capit

We propose the condemnation risk discount theory, whereby home buyers deduct a discount from housing prices in the absence of insurance against the risk that the government will condemn their property for private transfer. Homeowners cannot separate out t

The Psychology Of Corporate Rights, Avital Mentovich, Aziz Huq, Moran Cerf

Public Law and Legal Theory Working Papers

State Regulation And The Necessary And Proper Clause, William Baude Dec 2014

State Regulation And The Necessary And Proper Clause, William Baude

Public Law and Legal Theory Working Papers

The new marijuana federalism is here, but is it here to stay? In this Article, I address that question by way of two related points, a practical one and a technical one, and I ultimately argue that state regulation should have a bigger role in fixing the limits of federal constitutional power. The practical point is that the current regime of state marijuana legalization is unstable, and it is a miracle that it is working as well as it is. Because marijuana remains contraband at the federal level, businesses and lawmakers who invest in responsible legalization at the state level …

Aligning Campaign Finance Law, Nicholas Stephanopoulos Oct 2014

Aligning Campaign Finance Law, Nicholas Stephanopoulos

Public Law and Legal Theory Working Papers

Campaign finance law is in crisis. In a series of recent decisions, the Supreme Court has rejected state interests such as anti-distortion and equality, while narrowing the anti-corruption interest to its quid pro quo core. This core cannot sustain the bulk of campaign finance regulation. As a result, an array of contribution limits, expenditure limits, and public financing programs have been struck down by the Court. If any meaningful rules are to survive, a new interest capable of justifying them must be found. This Article introduces just such an interest: the alignment of voters’ policy preferences with their government’s policy …


Partisan Gerrymandering And The Efficiency Gap, Nicholas Stephanopoulos, Eric Mcghee Oct 2014

Partisan Gerrymandering And The Efficiency Gap, Nicholas Stephanopoulos, Eric Mcghee

Public Law and Legal Theory Working Papers

The usual legal story about partisan gerrymandering is relentlessly pessimistic. The courts did not even recognize the cause of action until the 1980s; they have never struck down a district plan on this basis; and four sitting Justices want to vacate the field altogether. The Supreme Court’s most recent gerrymandering decision, however, is the most encouraging development in this area in a generation. Several Justices expressed interest in the concept of partisan symmetry — the idea that a plan should treat the major parties symmetrically in terms of the conversion of votes to seats — and suggested that it could …


Valuable Lies, Ariel Porat, Omri Yadlin Oct 2014

Valuable Lies, Ariel Porat, Omri Yadlin

Public Law and Legal Theory Working Papers

Should a Muslim employee who falsely stated in his job interview that he is Christian in order to avoid discrimination be fired for his dishonesty? Should a buyer of a tract of land who conducted an expensive investigation before contracting that revealed a high likelihood of mineral deposits be subject to liability for fraud because he told the seller he knew nothing about the land's mineral potential before purchase? Is a doctor violating her legal duties toward her patient if she convinces him to get vaccinated on the pretext that it is in his best interest when it is instead …
