Policy Tools For Smart Growth In New England, New England Environmental Finance Center
Smart Growth
Across New England communities have been experiencing a rapid outward surge of development away from our community and downtown centers. Effects of sprawl include a loss of wildlife habitat, farm and timber lands; increased costs of community services and higher taxes; auto-dependency, longer commutes, and increased congestion; increases in air and water pollution; a sedentary lifestyle and increased obesity; and losses to one’s sense of place and social ties.
State-level responses to sprawl have surfaced throughout New England in recent years. This report describes 11 examples of these responses, representing all six New England states and a diversity of recent …

Commentary: Basque Avenues Toward Peace: Building The New Road To A New Dawn, A New Beginning, J. P. Linstroth
Peace and Conflict Studies
Excerpt
With the declaration of a permanent ceasefire by "Basque Homeland and Freedom" (Euskadi Ta Askatasuna, ETA) on the 22nd of March to begin on the 24th of March of this year, a new dawn breaks in Basque history and Basque politics. There may be those who doubt this peace but I remain hopeful that the Basques will be able to reconcile their internal differences and begin this journey anew. The Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero has agreed to begin talks on the Basque ceasefire beginning this summer 2006 and many in the Basque region are expectant of …

What We Don't Know Can Help Us: Eliciting Out-Of-Discipline Knowledge For Work With Intractable Conflicts, Jennifer Goldman, Peter T. Coleman
Peace and Conflict Studies
In this article, the authors present the results of a study in which a diverse variety of experts in fields outside the traditional conflict domain were interviewed about their ideas regarding intractable conflicts. The purpose of this study was to gather frame-breaking insights and practical approaches that could shed new light on complex, persistent conflict that has been particularly resistant to resolution. The authors argue that outsiders to the field are more likely to provide fresh perspective and radical approaches to the conflict field’s most intransigent problems because they are not constrained by the field’s pre-existing normative frames.

Index of Texas Archaeology: Open Access Gray Literature from the Lone Star State
Prewitt and Associates, Inc. conducted testing and data recovery investigations at five archeological sites in the city of New Braunfels, in Comal County, Texas. The work was done in August and September 2005 for the Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) for its Clear Springs Autotransformer Project, which involves the replacement of high-voltage electrical transmission towers through the New Braunfels area. A transmission tower location at prehistoric site 41CM286, located on an upland ridge overlooking the Guadalupe River, was investigated with a shovel test. Deposits were limited to 10 cm overlying bedrock limestone. In a preliminary report, the site was recommended …

Reinforcing The Link Between Contributions And Pensions With Flexible Retirement, Juan A. Lacomba, Francisco Lagos
Reinforcing The Link Between Contributions And Pensions With Flexible Retirement, Juan A. Lacomba, Francisco Lagos
Francisco Lagos
In this paper, we analyze a majority voting process on the earnings-related part of pension benefits in a Social Security system with flexible retirement. We show that the aging of the population may make it easier to implement one of the proposed reforms to achieve a delay in the average retirement age of workers, to reinforce the link between contributions and pensions.

The Partisan Presidency, Richard M. Skinner
The Partisan Presidency, Richard M. Skinner
Richard M. Skinner
Political scientists have tended to see the powerful presidency of the 20th and the 21st centuries as being the enemy of strong political parties. But over the past quarter century, presidents – most notably Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush – have been following a more partisan path. They have been relying on their parties more for support, both in Congress and in the electorate, seeking greater partisan control over the executive branch, and even using the media more to mobilize the base than to reach swing voters. We need to move beyond outdated notions of presidents above party politics …
Expert Advice, Control, And Heterogeneous Beliefs, Leonidas E. De La Rosa
Expert Advice, Control, And Heterogeneous Beliefs, Leonidas E. De La Rosa
Leonidas Enrique de la Rosa
In this paper, I study the effects of overconfidence in an investment-decision setting. A risk-averse agent privately observes information relevant to an investment decision, which he can then report to a principal. In a standard common-priors setting, the optimal contract provides full insurance to the agent: the principal pays a fixed wage to the agent, asks him to reveal his information, and implements the efficient investment rule. When the agent overestimates the expected revenue of the project following investment, however, he is willing to "wager" on success against the (relatively pessimistic) principal, and hence bear some project risk in equilibrium. …
Market Power, Vertical Integration, And The Wholesale Price Of Gasoline, Richard J. Gilbert, Justine S. Hastings
Market Power, Vertical Integration, And The Wholesale Price Of Gasoline, Richard J. Gilbert, Justine S. Hastings
Richard J Gilbert
This paper empirically examines the relationship between vertical integration and wholesale gasoline prices. We use discrete and differential changes in the extent of vertical integration generated by mergers in West Coast gasoline refining and retailing markets to test for incentives to raise rivals’ costs. Research design allows us to test for a relationship between vertical integration and wholesale prices, controlling for horizontal market structure, cost shocks and trends. We find evidence consistent with the strategic incentive to raise competitors’ input costs and conclude that vertical integration can have a significant impact on wholesale prices.
Dollars For Genes: Revenue Generation By The California Institute For Regenerative Medicine, Richard J. Gilbert
Dollars For Genes: Revenue Generation By The California Institute For Regenerative Medicine, Richard J. Gilbert
Richard J Gilbert
Proponents of the $3 billion ballot initiative that created the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) forecast that CIRM-funded research would earn royalty income in the range of $537 million to $1.1 billion. Using data on past licensing revenues as well as expected discoveries, this paper estimates that CIRM licensing income will be only a few percent of expenditures and California’s share of this licensing income will be less than one percent of R&D expenditures in current dollars. The allocation of these relatively small revenues is of secondary importance to the greater objective of disseminating CIRM-funded stem cell technology quickly …
Theoretical Constraints On The Price-Rent Ratio And Other Insights From A New Real Estate Model, Richard H. Serlin
Theoretical Constraints On The Price-Rent Ratio And Other Insights From A New Real Estate Model, Richard H. Serlin
Richard H. Serlin
I develop a model of the real estate market with rational informed individuals who are either liquid or illiquid. The model shows bounds on the price-rent ratio and dispels some common real estate myths. Suggestions are given for empirical tests of the models implications.

Birth Order, Educational Achievement And Earnings: An Investigation Using The Psid, Jasmin Kantarevic, Stéphane Fabrice Mechoulan
Birth Order, Educational Achievement And Earnings: An Investigation Using The Psid, Jasmin Kantarevic, Stéphane Fabrice Mechoulan
Stéphane Mechoulan
We examine the implications of being early in the birth order, and whether there exists, within large families, a pattern of falling then rising attainment with respect to birth order. Unlike other studies using U.S. data, we go beyond grade for age and look at racial differences. Drawing from OLS and fixed effects estimations, we find that being first-born confers a significant educational advantage that persists when considering earnings; being last-born confers none. These effects are significant for large black families at the high school level, and for white families of any size at both high school and college levels.

Soldiers And Wayward Women: Gendered Citizenship, And Migration Policy In Argentina, Italy, And Spain Since 1850, David Cook-Martín
Soldiers And Wayward Women: Gendered Citizenship, And Migration Policy In Argentina, Italy, And Spain Since 1850, David Cook-Martín
David Cook-Martín
Policies that regulate peoples international movement and their state membership have historically made distinctions based on perceived sexual differences, but little is known about the process by which this has happened. This paper explores how and with what consequences migration and nationality policies have been gendered in two quintessential countries of emigration (Italy and Spain), and in a country of immigrants (Argentina) over a 150-year period. I argue that these migration and nationality policies have reflected the dynamics of the political fields in which they have been crafted. Especially before the Great War, laws and official practices that showed a …
Judicial Selection, Appointments Gridlock, And The Nuclear Option, David S. Law, Lawrence B. Solum
Judicial Selection, Appointments Gridlock, And The Nuclear Option, David S. Law, Lawrence B. Solum
David S. Law
In this paper, we employ simple formal models drawn from political science to explain the occurrence of gridlock in the federal judicial selection process, and to explore the implications of the nuclear option, by which a bare majority of senators employs parliamentary tactics to abolish the filibuster with respect to judicial nominations. Our application of a pivotal politics model leads us to reject the notion that appointments gridlock is a straightforward consequence of divided government. Instead, meaningful changes to the ideological balance of the federal bench require a more demanding ideological alignment of multiple veto players relative to the status …
Seguridad Ciudadana: Entre La Cooperación Internacional Y La Soberanía Nacional, Fernando Carrión Mena
Seguridad Ciudadana: Entre La Cooperación Internacional Y La Soberanía Nacional, Fernando Carrión Mena
Fernando Carrión Mena
El Ecuador en el año 2005 recibió el 1,64% del PIB en recursos de cooperación internacional, esto es 231 millones de dólares no reembolsables (donación) y 364 millones reembolsables (deuda); es decir, una cantidad cercana al 8% del presupuesto nacional. Si bien esta cifra no es una gran suma de recursos, sí tiene una significación cualitativa en términos del impacto sustancial que genera en las políticas públicas del Estado.
Un caso paradigmático de las características de la cooperación internacional es lo que se observa con el tema de la seguridad ciudadana: la Policía Nacional recibió en el 2005 recursos internacionales …

Retrieval-Induced Facilitation: Initially Nontested Material Can Benefit From Prior Testing Of Related Materia, Jason C.K. Chan, Kathleen B. Mcdermott, Henry L. Roediger Iii
Jason C.K. Chan
Classroom exams can assess students' knowledge of only a subset of the material taught in a course. What are the implications of this approach for long-term retention? Three experiments (N = 210) examined how taking an initial test affects later memory for prose materials not initially tested. Experiment 1 shows that testing enhanced recall 24 hr later for the initially nontested material. This facilitation was not seen for participants given additional study opportunities without initial testing. Experiment 2 extends this facilitative effect to a within-subjects design. Experiment 3 demonstrates that this facilitation can be modulated by conscious strategies. These results …
