- Charities and Public Goods: The Case for Reforming the Federal Income Tax Deduction for Charitable Gifts
By reducing taxpayers' taxable income, the charitable deduction shifts part of the cost of private charitable giving onto the rest of society, encouraging charitable gifts. While the charitable deduction clearly benefits charities, it also shrinks the federal tax base. This is the basic justification for a tax subsidy to charities: if charities produce public goods, they will be subject to market failure and will not be supplied, justifying a government subsidy for them. The vast majority of charities do not produce exclusively public goods. As a result, the scope of the current charitable deduction is far broader than can be justified by any appeal to the theory of market failure. From the perspective of economic efficiency, it is hard to justify the current size and scope of the feder...

- What's It to You?: The Difficulty of Valuing the Benefits of Climate-Change Mitigation and the Need for a Public-Goods Test Under Dormant Commerce Clause Analysis
In an effort to minimize its contribution to climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, California enacted California Senate Bill 1368. The bill prohibits utilities from purchasing electrical power from plants that emit more greenhouse gases than natural-gas-fired power plants.

To address the validity of California Senate Bill 1368 under traditional dormant Commerce Clause analysis, one necessary step is to answer a question that has troubled scientists and economists for decades: What is the value of California's interest in reducingits contributions to climate change? This Note examines that...
