The Two Blades of the Scissors: Performance Feedback and Intrinsic Attributes in Organizational Risk Taking
We draw on the behavioral theory of the firm and prospect theory to examine how performance feedback (decision context) and the characteristics of the alternatives (decision content) that decision makers face jointly determine organizational risk-taking choices. While the behavioral theory of the firm has identified performance feedback’s important role in driving organizational risk-taking decisions, it has not considered the intrinsic attribute…
Lynching and the Death Penalty in Kentucky, 1866–1934: Substitution or Supplement
Using multivariate techniques, this article reanalyzes data from the Espy file to test a hypothesis by historian George Wright. In Racial Violence in Kentucky, Wright concludes that legal executions became a functional substitute for Black lynchings in Kentucky. Wright assumes that executions formed a legal substitute for lynchings of Blacks. For this reason, Black lynchings declined dramatically during the 1920s and 1930s. We conducted a statist…
Capriciousness or Fairness: Race and Prosecutorial Decisions to Seek the Death Penalty in Kentucky
Previous research on capital sentencing have discovered quantitative proof of discrimination, especially by race of the victim. The present study examines prosecutorial decision making in Kentucky. Using a method of analysis developed by Berk et al., it seeks to determine the level of capriciousness (uncertainty) present in the prosecutorial decision to seek the death penalty. Kentucky prosecutors were most likely to seek the death penalty in cas…

Fertility Policy in Ceausescu's Romania
This study tests a model for the impact that Ceausescu's pro-natalist policies had on the Romanian fertility rate between 1967 and 1989. Using time-series analysis, the authors' findings show that the Ceausescu regime continually struggled with the Romanian population to increase the national birthrate. As a result of the regime's policies, there was a significant increase in overall fertility between 1967 and 1989, when the Ceausescu regime was …

Race, Homicide Severity, and Application of the Death Penalty: A Consideration of the Barnett Scale
This study uses the Barnett scale of homicide severity to analyze the capital sentencing process in Kentucky. In his analysis of Georgia cases, Barnett found that whites were disproportionately the victims of homicides that the scale considered as most serious. This conclusion was cited as an explanation for racial disparity in capital sentencing. When the scale is applied to Kentucky data and the level of seriousness of the murder is controlled,…
The Family Wage System in Pennsylvania's Anthracite Region: 1850-1900
Using data from the U.S. Census manuscript collections from 1850, 1860, 1870, 1880, and 1900, this study examines the prevalence of the family wage economy among different categories of occupations and across ethnic groups. Two aspects of family wage economies are examined: the use of child labor and the use of the labor of young adults and/or adolescents. We find that there are marked differences in the levels of use of both types of labor acros…

Municipal Differentiation and Public Policy: Fiscal Support Levels in Varying Environments
Using variables derived from several conceptualizations of the urban environment, this study assesses the predictability of levels of fiscal support (as measured by per capita property tax revenue) among 21 municipal governments at two points in time. The data bear out the notion that it is useful to consider revenue level as a funcion of social variables differing in time and space. The results also suggest that current views of environmental im…
