Regional Differences in Chapter 13 Filings: Southern Legal Culture or Religion
Chapter 7 is designed for debtors who do not have the ability to pay their existing debts and many times leads to a legal release of most debt. Chapter 13 is designed for debtors who have the ability to pay all or part of their debts in installments over a period of time. Bankruptcy research finds that the southern region of the USA has a significantly higher portion of Chapter 13 filings than the rest of the country, unexplainable by quantifiabl…
The Effect of the Top Two Primary on the Number of Primary Candidates
Objectives W ashington S tate held its first “top two primary” in 2008. Under this system, the two candidates receiving the most votes move on to the general election, regardless of party affiliation. This study empirically examines the potential incentive under this top two primary system for each political party to discourage “excess” party candidates from entering primary contests. Methods We examine this possibility by looking at the W ashing…
Henry George and Immigration

Accounts of the controversy reveal two self-interested motives for the church hier…

Is Cleveland Another New York
In this article, the circumstances of the Cleveland default and the New York City fiscal crisis are compared. Regression equations for budgetary variables are estimated on a sample of 44 large cities and used to predict the levels of the budgetary variables for Cleveland and New York. Although there is some evidence that New York's expenditures and revenues are both greater than would be predicted for a city with its characteristics, Cleveland's …
