George on Land Speculation and the Winner's Curse
Henry George anticipated the winner's curse phenomenon and suggested an antidote to prevent wasteful land speculation. In these ways his economic ideas still resonate today as part of modern finance theory

Comparison of Two Indices of Answer Copying and Development of a Spliced Index
Two indices of answer copying, one using only identical wrong responses and the other using both right and wrong, were compared using naturally occurring test responses (no simulation of copying). Each index pointed to the existence of about the same number of exannnee pairs who had copied. However, index B implicated more higher scoring pairs that he g2 index, which, in turn, implicated more lower scoring pairs. An adaptation Of g2 using only wr…
Peace, Justice, and Economic Reform: The 1997 Henry George Lecture
Is justice necessary for peace? There can be no justice while people have unresolved grievances, but peace is more than the absence of strife. It is harmony. Justice is the principles of equality and evenhandedness that command and prohibit the use of force in resolving conflicts. Justice is not necessary for peace, but it does facilitate it. Conservative, majoritarian, egalitarian and contractarian efforts to specify justice all fail to respect …

The Jerome Levy Economic Institute Conference: Land, Wealth, and Poverty
A bstract . The Jerome Levy Economic Institute at Bard College presented a program arranged by Professor Kris Feder on “Land Wealth and Poverty,” on November 2‐4,1995, Two of the talks presented are here reproduced with more to follow in subsequent issues of this Journal. J. Ted Gwartney, former senior appraisal officer of the Bank of America presented the view that a 4% tax on the value of land, as broadly defined, could provide revenue adequate…
The Single Transferable Vote
The single transferable vote (STV) is a family of vote-counting procedures that use voters' rankings of candidates as input and achieve proportional representation. This paper compares STV with other types of voting procedures and discusses the history of STV, issues concerning the rules of STV, limitations of various versions of STV, and a new version of STV based on paired comparisons of sets of candidates. Each refinement of STV overcomes a li…
The Relative Efficiency of Approval and Condorcet Voting Procedures
This article compares empirically the average utility for the electorate of the candidates selected by approval voting and by ranking-based voting with a search for a Condorcet winner (a Condorcet-completion procedure). "Feeling thermometer" scores from the presidential election surveys for 1972 through 1984 of the Institute for Survey Research are used for distributions of utilities of candidates for voters. Several hypotheses about voting behav…
An instrumental-variables approach to income redistribution
Remorse, elation, and the paradox of voting
Toward Restructuring of Normative Economics
A New and Superior Process for Making Social Choices
This paper describes and elaborates a process first discovered by Edward H. Clarke that motivates individuals to reveal their true preferences for public goods. The essence of the process is that each individual is offered a chance to change the outcome that would occur without his vote by paying a special charge equal to the net cost to others that results from including his vote in the decision. Because the special charge on any one person is n…

The Capabilites of Voting Rules in the Absence of Coalitions
This paper discusses the features of a variety of rules that might be used to make group choices. The rules are evaluated under an assumption that coalitions have no impact, as might be true when the number of voters is large and secret ballots are used. The contributions of a number of writers are discussed in a framework that exposes new relationships among a variety of ideas. Some conditions that bear on the merit of a voting rule are as follo…

A Generalized χ2 for the Significance of Differences in Repeated, Related Measures Applied To Different Samples
When repeated measures are not independent, sample data can be used to estimate the average covariance among the measures, and this can be used to calculate an appropriate estimate of the variance in a sum of measures. When such an estimate of the variance is employed, a χ 2 statistic can be used to test the significance of differences in repeated, related measures applied to different samples
