This paper uses a panel approach to examine the effect that the government-policy environment has on the level of entrepreneurship. Specifically, the authors investigate whether marginal income tax rates and bankruptcy exemptions influence rates of entrepreneurship. Whereas previous work in the literature finds that both policies are positively related to entrepreneurship, these results show non-monotonic relationships: a U-shaped relationship between marginal tax rates and entrepreneurship and an S-shaped relationship between bankruptcy exemptions and entrepreneurship.
Repackaging may work for cereals or Hollywood stars, but informed citizens won't be fooled by such gimmickry when it comes to government spending, taxes, health care and energy policy. Congress should focus on creating a business environment that isn't burdened by excessive regulation and the looming threats of energy taxes, reckless spending, tax increases and a massive restructuring of our healthcare system. A clean-energy standard is just another gimmick to increase the price of energy from sources that emit carbon dioxide.
Throughout the run-up to the 2008 presidential election, both Democratic and Republican candidates have pointed to the nonprofit sector's vital and growing role in tackling some of our nation's most serious challenges: education, health care, housing, and other areas of social need. The candidates want to connect with voters by highlighting fresh, new solutions that might bridge the divisions between political parties and provide concrete results to an American voting public increasingly cynical about government's ability to solve our nation's most intractable problems. To tackle the problems of the scale and scope our nation faces, however, the next president needs to focus less on replicating individual programs and more on reorienting the government's relationship toward the nonprofi...

WASHINGTON - Mainers, from environmentalists to members of Congress, lauded a federal appeals court decision Friday that struck down a Bush administration policy allowing some power plants to exceed mercury emission levels. The court ruled that the government failed to consider the policy's effect on public health and the environment. Maine and 13 other states sued to block the Bush regulation, saying it would allow dangerous levels of mercury into the environment. The toxic metal is known to contaminate seafood that, when eaten, can damage the developing brains of fetuses and young children.

Republicans clearly hope to gain from a growing prowar hysteria since they are supposed to be tougher than the Democrats in defending United States interests worldwide. Why they are so considered is another mystery which needs more thorough analysis another time. But why [George W. Bush], a Vietnam-era deserter from the Texas Air National Guard who has never fired a bullet in anger except at some hapless deer or quail, should be deemed a "tougher" candidate than the genuine war hero John Kerry, is hard to comprehend. Just as hard to fathom is why [McCain]'s genuine suffering in Vietnamese captivity, after being shot down on a mission to bomb Vietnamese civilians, makes him an expert on questions of defense and foreign policy. This "expert" may well lead us into a war in Iran. The sad th...
