Childcare Market Failure, Meredith J. Harbach Jan 2015

Childcare Market Failure, Meredith J. Harbach

Law Faculty Publications

In the UnitedStates,family law norms and childcare policy have long reflected the view that childcare is a private,family matter.Butchildcare hascrossedtheprivate-publicdivide.In the absence of parents at home providing care, a substantial childcare market has emerged. And that market is failing. Our law, policy, and legal scholarship have yet to recognize and account for this new reality. This Article confronts the problem on its own terms, using economic analysis to diagnose our childcarecrisis as a marketfailure,and makes the casefor more active and explicit government intervention in the childcare market. Economic theory not only helps us understand why the market is failing, but …


Death Penalty Drugs And The International Moral Marketplace, James Gibson, Corinna Barrett Lain Jan 2015

Death Penalty Drugs And The International Moral Marketplace, James Gibson, Corinna Barrett Lain

Law Faculty Publications

Across the country, executions have become increasingly problematic as states have found it more and more difficult to procure the drugs they need for lethal injection.At first blush, the drug shortage appears to be the result of pharmaceutical industry norms; companies that make drugs for healing (mostly in Europe) have refused to be merchants of death. But closer inspection reveals that European governments are the true change agents here. For decades, those governments have tried-and failed-to promote abolition of the death penalty through traditional instruments of international law. Turns out that the best way to export their abolitionist norms was …

Economic Policy After A Lost Decade--From Over-Spending To Innovation, Timothy M. Kaine May 2011

Economic Policy After A Lost Decade--From Over-Spending To Innovation, Timothy M. Kaine

University of Richmond Law Review

In this article, I want to focus on one aspect of our economic recovery-namely, how do we grow an economy without relying upon debt-fueled overconsumption? I argue that the magnitude of the 2007-2009 collapse was based significantly on unsustainable spending that had propped up the previous expansion. National policy during the first years of the last decade turned a sizable national surplus into a huge deficit through war spending, tax cuts, and expansion of public programs that were not paid for.The spending patterns of American families followed a similar pattern in which traditional savings rates shrunk precipitously while family debt …

Domino Effect Of The Current Economic Crisis, Sue K. Varon, Martin S. Varon Jan 2009

Domino Effect Of The Current Economic Crisis, Sue K. Varon, Martin S. Varon

Richmond Public Interest Law Review

The deepening recession, increased unemployment, and stalled housing market have negatively impacted the financial situation of most clients of the family lawyer. Many clients' homes are underwater because of declining values. Those divorcing couples fortunate enough to have equity in their most significant marital asset, their home, are unable to sell it. Combined with the plummeting value of retirement accounts, practitioners are looking at marital asset balance sheets that are nothing less than bleak.
