This paper attempts to provide an economic analysis of fertility interrelationships using pooled cross-country data from the Middle East and North African region, 1982-2000. Regression results provide strong confirmation that family planning, urbanisation and female labour force participation rates are inversely related to fertility rates. Income, infant mortality rates and female education are found to have a strong positive correlation with fertility. The results of several variables are also consistent with the results obtained in earlier studies involving countries and regions other than the Middle East and North Africa. Some policy implications are drawn.
As any general contractor, subcontractor, and particularly any residential contractor will tell you, insurance coverage for defective construction has been constricting steadily over the past several years. Two sources of constriction of coverage are the subject of this article. The first limitation is the result of efforts by the insurance industry to amend the policy to eliminate or limit coverage for risks that are perceived to be difficult or impossible to underwrite. The second type of limitation is imposed through interpretation of the policy language by the courts. One of the risk exposures that have increased dramatically over the last few years is construction defect litigation, spearheaded by the residential sector. If this occurrence and economic loss analysis is followed, tr...

An Introductory Analysis, Bowman and Bach (Economic Analysis and Public Policy), Morgan (Income and Employment) and Tarshis (The Elements of Economics) have been used as basic texts. "In the last analysis there is no problem, for the simple reason that the government controls the Federal Reserve Banks and can always compel them to buy government bonds" (Tarshis).
The fiduciary duties of a bankrupt debtor in possession have not been discussed in detail by the courts. This Note makes a simple and original claim about such duties: that the fiduciary duties of a bankrupt debtor in possession are too low and should be reformed to comport with fiduciary duty standards in related areas of the law, most notably corporate law. In particular, the Note advocates a duty to disclose relevant information about the value of assets dispersed in a bankruptcy proceeding. In coming to this conclusion, the Note considers relevant sections of the Bankruptcy Code, legal precedent, economic analysis, and other bankruptcy policy considerations such as preventing fraud and protecting the honest but unfortunate debtor. Focusing on one important aspect of bankruptcy law, ...
An analysis of New England public employees by the Center for Economic Policy and Research and Political Fxonomy Research Institute dispels the myth of the "spoiled" government worker. Researchers found that the region's state and local workers are comparatively disadvantaged. After accounting for variables like age and education, "state and local workers actually earn less, on average, than their p r ivate -sector counterparts. The study found that "the typical middle-wage worker earns about three percent less in state and local work, and the typical high-wage worker makes about 13 percent less than a similar privatesector worker." The government workers do tend to have better benefits, like sick leave and health insurance. But the researchers explained, "benefits offered by state and...
