• Early Retirement in the Government Sector in Egypt: Preferences, Determinants, and Policy Implications

This study looks at factors affecting the decision of early retirement for Egyptian government sector employees. The empirical analysis is based on 2005 nationally representative sample of government sector workers. Among the findings of this study are: women are more likely to retire earlier than men; good health status is associated with longer stay on the job; the level of education is not a determining factor for women, but it is for men; men plan to work after their early retirement; the presence of the working wife has a positive effect on her husband to retire early, yet a working husband discourages his wife from retiring early.

• Al-Kidd v. Ashcroft: Clearly Established Confusion

In the aftermath of September 11, 2001, Attorney General John Ashcroft authorized the U.S. government to use material-witness arrest warrants to detain and investigate terrorist suspects.

Ashcroft’s decision to permit the government to use a valid material-witness arrest warrant to detain Abdullah al-Kidd did not violate al-Kidd’s constitutional rights, regardless of the government’s subjective intent. Furthermore, assuming that the government’s actions were unconsti...
