While animal welfare receives consideration to the extent that humans value it, human preferences are not fully revealed due to inco…
Athens or London? The Parthenon Marbles and economic efficiency
In the early part of the 19th century sculptures on the Parthenon in Athens were removed under the direction of the Earl of Elgin, then the British ambassador to the Ottoman Empire, which at the time included Greece. The sculptures were brought to Britain, finding their way to the custody of the British Museum in London in 1816, where they are viewed by millions of visitors annually. A debate long has simmered as to whether these Parthenon Marble…
Vice policy in Russia: Alcohol, tobacco, gambling
In the past fifteen years the regulatory systems surrounding the traditional vices of alcohol, tobacco, and gambling have been extensively overhauled in Russia, generally in the direction of tighter control.

The overlap between legal and political systems also led to issues in law and economics being raised in political economy,…

Economics in the Former Soviet Union
One of the most notable, but least discussed, aspects of the halting attempts during the past six years to reform the economies of the Soviet Union, and now those of its successor states, has been the prominent role played by professional economists. Not since the mid-1920s has the Soviet political leadership felt so strongly the need to draw upon the expertise of the economics profession to help determine its course of action. In this paper, we …
