The nonprofit advantage: Producing quality in thick and thin child care markets
Nonprofit child care centers are frequently observed to produce child care which is, on average, of higher quality than care provided in commercial child care centers. In part, this nonprofit advantage is due to different input choices made by nonprofit centers—lower child‐staff ratios, better‐educated staff and directors, higher rates of professional development for staff. Nonprofit centers may have an additional productivity advantage, due to u…
Do English Canadian Hockey Teams Discriminate against French Canadian Players
Krashinsky and Krashinsky (1997) contend that the evidence I present in my paper (Longley 1995) should not necessarily lead one to conclude that French Canadians playing for NHL teams based in English Canada suffer from salary discrimination. They point, for example, to the relatively small subsample size of French Canadians playing for teams based in English Canada (five players), and contend that my statistical results should not be viewed as b…
The Effects of Incumbency in U. S. Congressional Elections, 1950-1988
Using a random coefficients model and regression analysis, the authors examine the effects of incumbency in U.S. House and Senate elections since 1950. The model is based on assumptions about the behavior of voters. A strong effect for incumbency is demonstrated, amounting to at least 10 percentage points in the popular vote in elections since 1974. Part of the effect occurs because incumbents by definition do not run against incumbents. A signif…
Do Hockey Teams Discriminate against French Canadians: A Comment on 'Discrimination and Performance Differentials in the National Hockey League
In a recent paper in this journal, Lavoie, Grenier and Coulombe (1987) argue that French Canadian hockey defensemen and forwards perform better than their English Canadian and American counterparts, although the performance of English and French Canadian goalies cannot be distinguished. The authors suggest that this can be explained by discrimination against Francophones which occurs at the point of entry into the league. The different treatment …

The Returns to University Schooling in Canada: A Comment
In their recent paper in this journal, Vaillancourt and Henriques provide evidence on the monetary returns of university schooling in Canada and on its private and social costs. They show that university schooling has a private rate of return of 7 to 14 per cent and a public rate of return of 6 to 10 per cent. They use these results to argue that students could be asked to pay higher tuition without reducing demand significantly (assuming increas…
The Cooke Report on Child Care: A Critique
Le Rapport Cooke a recommande que tous les coits de garde d'enfants soient subventionnes et que tout parent qui travaille y ait droit. Des subventions completes pour le gardiennage d'enfants durant une partie de la journee seraient egalement mises a la disposition des autres parents d'enfants d'age prescolaire. Cet article suggere que le Rapport sousestime d'une mani&re importante le cout d'une telle politique. Par ailleurs, cette politique n'est…

The Effect of Incumbency in the 1984 Federal and 1985 Ontario Elections
This note extends the authors' earlier work on incumbency in Canadian federal and Ontario provincial elections by examining riding by riding results in the 1984 federal and 1985 Ontario provincial elections. In particular, the authors test their earlier hypothesis that incumbency effects are swamped by large shifts in voter preferences. The results indicate that incumbency had a significant impact, and that this impact was not reduced by the larg…

Additional Evidence on the Effect of Incumbency in Canadian Elections
This work extends the authors' earlier work on incumbency by examining, riding by riding, results in 10federal elections from 1926 to 1980. Regression results indicate that incumbency generally had a significant impact, and between 1957 and 1980 incumbency was worth about four points for the Liberals, Conservatives and New Democrats, and significantly more for the Social Credit. The results vary and seem to be smaller than those observed in Ontar…

Some Evidence on the Effect of Incumbency in Ontario Provincial Elections
This article examines the constituency results in recent Ontario provincial elections in order to estimate the impact of incumbency on the percentage of the vote received by each party. Regression results indicate that incumbency had a significant impact in the three elections studied, adding between six and 12 percentage points to the popular vote for the incumbent's party in a given riding. Moreover, these results are robust, persisting overtim…
