Do Off-Label Drug Practices Argue Against FDA Efficacy Requirements? A Critical Analysis of Physicians' Argumentation for Initial Efficacy Requirements
The amended Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act requires efficacy certification for a drug's initial uses ("on-label"), but does not require certification before physicians may prescribe the drug for subsequent uses ("off-label"). Does it make sense to require FDA efficacy certification for new drugs but not for new uses of old drugs? Using a sequential online survey, we carried on a "virtual conversation" with some 500 physicians. The survey asked whet…
Using Terror Alert Levels to Estimate the Effect of Police on Crime
Changes in the terror alert level set by the Department of Homeland Security provide a shock to police presence in Washington, D.C.

The decrease in the level of crime is especially large in the National Mall. This provides s…

Most of the data on torts has not been collected for research purposes and so analysis oft…

Would the Borda Count Have Avoided the Civil War
The election of 1860 was one of the most important and contentious elections in US history. It was also one of the most interesting. Four candidates from three different parties battled for the presidency and all four received a significant number of votes. We ask whether Lincoln's victory was sound, or was it due to a fluke in the electoral system? Did a Lincoln win plausibly represent the will of the voters or would a different voting system ha…
