This article empirically examines the impact on interstate net migration of differential state and local property tax and transfer policies in the United States by race, age and sex for the period 1965-70. The results offer considerable support to the Tiebout hypothesis that the consumer-voter...

This multi-faceted study address a variety of topics. It first develops a formal model of why interregional wage differentials may not elicit interregional migration. Then it provides empirical support for the model. The study develops a formal model general theory of migration. It demonstrates...

For the first time in its history, the National Sample Survey of Registered Nurses in 2008 includes a question involving union status. This study utilizes the data from this sample to estimate the union/non-union wage premium for registered nurses and among some of the occupational, workplace,...

This study has questioned the use of single-equation estimates so common in the analysis of the Phillips curve relation. The analysis in Section II and the empirical results in both Sections III and IV suggest that further research on the Phillips curve relation should consider the merits of...

This theoretical model demonstrates that there is an excess burden from potential theft similar to that which results from an indirect tax with some positive probability of payment. In addition, the model shows that potential theft creates a bias for consumption to drift away from "steal-able"...

This theoretical note argues that although both gross costs and possible gross benefits from the Electoral College can be identified, they cannot be compared in such a way as to generate a case that the Electoral College yields net benefits to society. In other words, the Electoral College...
