Late Homesteading
U.S. homesteading has been linked to establishing federal sovereignty over western lands threatened by the Confederacy, foreign powers, and the Indian Wars in the last half of the nineteenth century. However, the bulk of homesteading actually took place in the early twentieth century, long after these threats to federal ownership ceased. We argue that this “late homesteading” was also an effort to enforce federal rights, but in response to a diff…
Property Right Acquisition and Path Dependence
In this paper we compare lands settled between 1862–1940 under the Homestead Act to lands that sold for cash during the same time. We combine recently digitised individual land patents with modern satellite data and find a negative effect of homesteading on modern land use that cannot be explained by land quality, title characteristics or unobserved differences in settlers. We test the hypothesis that early homestead settlement put homesteaders ‘…

Environmental Injustice in the United States
Environmental Injustice in the United States provides systematic insight into the social, economic, and political dynamics of environmental decision-making, and the impacts of those decisions on minority communities. The first part of the book examines closely the history of the environmental justice movement and the scholarly literature to date, with a discussion about how the issue made the public agenda in the first place. The second part of t…
Nontraditional Families and Childhood Progress Through School
We reexamine Rosenfeld’s (2010) study on the association between child outcomes and same-sex family structure. Using the same data set, we replicate and generalize Rosenfeld’s findings and show that the implications of his study are different when using either alternative comparison groups or alternative sample restrictions. Compared with traditional married households, we find that children being raised by same-sex couples are 35 % less likely t…
A theory of the pre-modern British aristocracy
Information Sharing During the Klondike Gold Rush
When George Carmack struck gold in the Yukon territory on 17 August 1896, he freely shared the details and started what would eventually be three waves of rushes. This reflected a social norm of the Klondike, namely that any miner who struck gold would share this information. Miners did not behave this way in other nineteenth-century gold rushes. The article's hypothesis is that the extreme mining conditions and local geography of the Yukon led t…
Political economy and the adoption of everyday environmental policies in the American states, 1997
The political economy model has been widely and effectively used to explain and predict adoption rates of highly salient and/or controversial policies in the American states. However, use of this model to predict policy adoption in noncontroversial domains has been limited. This article tests the extent to which the model is successful in explaining the adoption of less-salient, everyday policies intended to improve environmental quality among th…

Mundane cash management policies in the American states
A political economy model, incorporated curved and interactive terms, is used to explain levels of five dimensions of cash management policies in the American states. Results point to a predominant role for economics, political culture, and interest groups as the explanation for policy levels. Further, the explanations are, in many instances, curved and conditional
The British Navy Rules
American Agriculture and the Problem of Monopoly
Jon Lauck has taken on a difficult task in this book. He seeks to write an economic history of farming in America during the twentieth century that both explains the demise of the small independent farmer and advocates a revision of current antitrust treatment of farmer unions. I found the book a general failure to meet this task. The book fails for a number of reasons, not the least of which is the dense and rambling prose that makes the g enera…
Social class, race, and toxic releases in American counties, 1995
This article, using data on 2,083 counties in 1995, tests the environmental racism/classism hypotheses and concludes that both have merit, however, specific findings demonstrate that the relationships are more complex than heretofore reported. Class and race relationships are conditional: while high social class reduces the level of toxic releases, it does so by moderating the relationship between fiscal capacity, pollution potential and this env…
Political economy and adoption of policies affecting everyday life in the American states
The political economy model has been successfully used to predict adoption of controversial or crisis-prone policies. In contrast, this article assesses the model’s utility in relation to adoption rates of three mundane policy domains that govern everyday life. Given the addition of interactive terms, the model produced a variety of results. The most successful application was in the policy domain of wills, estates, and trusts where 63 percent of…
Compatible Incentives and the Purchase of Military Commissions
For several hundred years European armies staffed their officer corps through a system of purchase. Different ranks had different prices, and as officers moved through the ranks they would sell one commission in order to purchase the next. This basic observation, along with the large sums paid, seem incongruous with twentieth‐century views on military organization. This article argues that the system was efficient in that it solved a selection pr…
State supreme court voting behavior
Scalogram analysis of nonunanimous criminal and economic liberties cases in 14 state supreme courts indicates that between 1971–1981 policy preferences structured voting behavior. Preference based voting declines after 1981—with the decline most noticeable in economic cases. This decline may be the result of preference complexity rather than a complete absence of preference based voting. Neither court duration, cases available for scaling, consen…

Voting Blocs and the Freshman Justice On State Supreme Courts
Research has been completed on the within the U.S. Supreme Court (Baugh 1989; Heck 1979; Heck and Hall 1981; Howard 1965; Melone 1990; Rubin and Melone 1988; Scheb and Ailshie 1985; Synder 1958; Ulmer 1965). The hypothesis, developed in Snyder's (1958) research on the U.S. Supreme Court, asserts that new justices manifest three types of behavior: bewilderment concerning new duties; a lower level of opinion writing when compared to senior justices…
