Free riding with discrete and continuous public goods: Some experimental evidence
Risk compensation and the effectiveness of safety belt use laws: A case study of New Jersey
Food safety regulation: Is the Delaney clause the problem or symptom
Traffic safety effects of sobriety checkpoints and other local DWI programs in New Jersey
We examined the efficacy of three Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) programs in New Jersey from 1980 through 1985, using covariance analysis of county data. Road blocks, the major component of the Strike Force program, were associated with a drop of 10-15 per cent in the single vehicle nighttime crash rate and showed a relatively stable effect over time. DWI Task Force, an education program, was associated with a 6-10 per cent total decline in the …
Consumer Safety Regulation: Putting a Price on Life and Limb
This book is about consumer safety and the issues that concern both academics and policy-makers in the United States. On one side of the debate are the consumer advocates who say that private markets, if left to their own devices, will impose unacceptable risks on the public. On the other are the conservatives who argue that government safety regulations infringe on personal freedom. There are also economists who say that public intervention has …
Does the Minimum Drinking Age Affect Traffic Fatalities
Since the mid-1970s numerous states have raised their minimum legal drinking age in an effort to reduce alcohol-related traffic accidents. This study examines determinants of a variety of traffic fatality rates at the state level for 1978, with particular attention to drinking age and drinking experience. The legal drinking age has no perceptible influence on fatalities, but inexperience in drinking is an apparent risk factor independent of age. …
Efficiency and Profitability in Exotic Bets
The efficiency and profitability of exotic racetrack bets such as exactas and daily doubles are examined. Efficiency is understood to mean that above average returns cannot be made in the long run once risk is appropriately controlled for. The markets in question are found not to be efficient; the inefficiencies, however, are insufficient to permit simple strategies to show a consistent profit. Some evidence of "smart money" exists in that holder…
