Safety standards and socioeconomic disparities in school playground injuries: A retrospective cohort study
Improvements in playground equipment can result in an environment in which students from schools in poorer neighbourhoods are no longer at increased risk of injuries on play equipment
Competition within a Cartel: League Conduct and Team Conduct in the Market for Baseball Player Services
A model of major league baseball is developed which distinguishes between league behavior and individual team behavior. The league is viewed as setting rules that restrict the team's willingness to pay and/or impose costs on the transfer of players between teams. Given these rules, teams then compete for player services. The model is estimated and tested. The evidence suggests that the restrictive effect of league rules on player salaries decline…
From the Arena Into the Streets: Hockey Violence, Economic Incentives and Public Policy
The hypothesis that there is a positive relationship betweenviolenceand gameattendancein the NationalHockeyLeague is tested; and the implications of the results for policies aimed at rectifying the violence considered. The empirical analysis, which is based principally on game by game data for the 1989/90 season, confirms the positive relationship, although it occurs mainly in American, not Canadian, cities. Since there is an incentive forteamsto…
Blood Sports and Cherry Pie: Some Economics of Violence in the National Hockey League
The results are reported of empirically testing two hypotheses relating to violence in a professional team sport: one, that hockey fans have a taste for violence (bockey is a "blood sport") so that, in general, game attendance and violence in the National Hockey League are positively related; and two, more specifically, that the more extreme degrees of violence are positively associated with American, not Canadian, attendance. The data are game b…
Salary Determination in the National Hockey League: The Effects of Skills, Franchise Characteristics, and Discrimination
This paper empirically examines the extent to which skill differences, monopoly and monopsony conditions, and discrimination determine salaries (by player position) in the National Hockey League. The data set is for 1977-78 and covers more than 300 hockey players from all teams in the league. The major conclusions are that skills are the principal determinant of salaries at all positions; the monopoly characteristics of the franchise system appea…

Dynamic Change and Accountability in a Canadian Market Economy
The bureaucracy and public policy: Canadian merger policy and the Combines Branch, 1960–71
This paper investigates the implications for public policy in general and merger sections of the Combines Act in particular of the hypothesis that bureaus, when carrying out their administrative duties, attempt to maximize their private utility functions rather than the social utility function expressed in the legislation. The analytical procedure, given alternative utility goals of power, prestige, convenience, and security and the appropriate c…
