The Affordable Care Act and Its Potential to Improve the Health of African-American Women

Their place in society and literally the places where they live both determine their health. This article considers whether the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PL. 111–148), as amended, signed into law by President Obama on March 30, 2010, can become a viable tool to …

An economic and judicial history of the pursuit of fair housing (or equal opportunity in access to housing) is provided for two major periods—from the late 1800s to the 1950s, and from the years of the civil rights movement to the present. An exploration of the housing status of black Americans throughout these periods follows, in wh…

Federal Government Policies and the “Housing Quotient” of Black American Families
The “housing quotient”—the condition of and access to housing—is defined for black American families and is examined in conjunction with the major relevant federal policies and programs. Policies considered include fair housing and the national urban policy. Programs examined include public housing and rental assistance. The lack of data constrains the completeness of the analysis, although certain programs seem to enroll blacks in disproportion …
Public Housing and the Black Community
Earlier in this paper five major goals of federal housing policy were listed and it was noted that the public housing program was only one vehicle used to work toward these goals. In this section, the conflicts and issues that arise in the pursuit of these goals through this program, as spelled out in the preceding pages, will be summarized. As well, suggestions of other means to provide housing for the low-income will end the paper
Economic Depreciation of the Residential Housing Stock of the United States, 1950-1970
B ECAUSE many capital assets lose value as they age, it is important both for tax policy and for national income and wealth accounting to be able to measure the pattern of this depreciation. The economic theory of depreciation was first presented by Harold Hotelling in 1925. There was a gap of fifty years before this seminal piece was developed in discussions of depreciation/replacement' rates by Jorgenson (1975) and by Hulten and Wykoff (1976). …
