Effects of Human Subjects Requirements on Classroom Research
PROFESSORS WHO INCLUDE THEIR STUDENTS as subjects in classroom-based research projects typically must submit to a review by their university's research ethics committee (REC) even in cases which present only minimal risks, and when the investigation is intended for evaluation of teaching approaches only, and not for publication. Results of a web-based survey with 378 respondents indicate that the perceived costs of the review process may outweigh…
Assessing the Effect of Rent Control on Homelessness
Career Winnings and Gender in Thoroughbred Racing
Using career data for the top jockeys in 1993, a two-equation recursive model is estimated to explain the annual number of mounts raced and the total purse winnings earned across gender. The empirical results indicate that after controlling for performance and experience characteristics, female jockeys secure significantly fewer mounts than male jockeys. Holding performance, the quality of mounts, experience, and the number of mounts constant, th…
Alumni Contributions to Academics
The effect of intercollegiate athletics on alumni contributions to the academic endowment of an institution is analyzed empirically. Using time series data from a representative National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I university, a contribution function is estimated which incorporates various measures of success in the major sports programs. After controlling for the population of alumni, student enrollment, state appropriation…
Economics
During the past I5 years, numerous articles have appeared in academic literature concerning the use of microcomputers in the college economics curriculum. This paper presents a brief review of this literature. The authors discover that the specific topics and issues addressed in this literature are diverse. However, five major content themes are revealed: (I) implementation of programs and/or course procedures, (2) presentation of new computer pr…
Intercollegiate Sports Success and First-Year Student Enrollment Demand
This paper investigates the effect of winning, postseason play, and television appearances for football and basketball on first-year student enrollment demand over a 21-year period at a representative NCAA Division I institution. Empirical estimates confirm popular notions that winning on the football field, after traditional enrollment demand factors are controlled, does attract students. However, postseason play and television coverage have no …
Performance and Attitudinal Effects of a Computer Laboratory in the Principles of Economics Course
This study presents the results of a controlled experiment testing the effect of a computer laboratory on student performance and attitudes in an introductory college economics course. The authors develop a two-stage, ordered-probit model to examine the simultaneous determination of performance and attitude formation. The empirical results indicate the lab course significantly improved course performance for students at either end of the grade di…
Right-To-Work Legislation and the Economic Position of Black Workers
Recent empirical analysis of state right-to-work legislation indicates that a negative wage effect may result as a consequence of banning union shop contracts. It has been previously shown that industrial unionism tends to improve the relative wage position of black workers. Thus, it is hypothesized that if state right-to-work laws weaken the economic power of unions to raise wages, black workers will experience a disproportionate decline in thei…
The Labor Force Attachment of Discouraged Workers
Since the 1960s policymakers have been concerned with the question of whether the discouraged worker should be considered unemployed. Previous researchers have argued that only those groups of the discouraged who exhibit a 'distinctive attachment' to the labor force should be counted among the unemployed. This study differs by defining 'distinctive attachment' as a long-run, not merely short-run, sensitivity to economic fluctuations. Using this c…
Race and the Discouraged Female Worker
This article presents an empirical examination of female attachment to the labor market. An econometric model of the discouragement process is built to determine how strongly women exhibit the inclination to remain labor force participants over the course of the business cycle. The estimated results imply that women, as a group, have a stronger response to changes in short-run cyclical fluctuations and therefore will sever their attachment to the…
