Charitable Donations and the Estate Tax
Regression studies have suggested that reducing estate-tax rates would lead to a net reduction in total charitable donations distributed at death. Not only is this notion counterintuitive, our empirical analysis yields the contrary conclusion: overall donations would increase. In rationalizing this donation-decline outcome, investigators have pointed to the tax deductibility of donations in assessing estate-tax liability. These efforts, we show, …

Migration as a Consumption Activity
While a generalized utility maximization approach to migration decisionmaking is not innovative, the principal extensions of this paper involve the search for an instrument capable of measuring changes in utility levels consistent with all preferences (i.e., with all forms of utility functions), requiring only data on observed behaviour. Our approach is to construct a Location-Specific Utility Index (LSUI), whose component variables serve as prox…
Market Structure and Cyclical Fluctuations in U.S. Manufacturing
R. Ian Domowitz, Glenn Hubbard, and Bruce C. Peterson (1988) estimate industry markups of price over marginal cost and show the influence of market structure on cyclical movements in total factor productivity, using a disaggregate panel data set of 284 four-digit, Standard Industrial Classification industries. In this comment, the authors examine whether Domowitz, Hubbard, and Peterson really estimate what they intend to estimate. Domowitz, Hubba…

The First U.S. Food Stamp Program
A bstract . Rent seeking involves the wasteful expenses incurred to secure, acquire, or maintain a monopoly position. Rent avoiding involves the expenditures undertaken to avoid the imposition of rent‐seeking costs. Each represents a social cost of Tullock rectangle loss in addition to the dead‐weight or Harberger triangle loss that combined to form the Harberger‐Tullock trapezoid social cost.

Some Surviving Elements in the Work of Henry George
While not appreciated by many professional economists during his lifetime despite his appeal to the general public, Henry George (1839-1897) was a self-taught economist whose best work is still surviving. His work is still applauded by economists in their theoretical work especially in the area of site value taxation and rentseeking. However, perhaps the most enduring tribute to the genius of Georgism is in the current application of land value t…
Rent Seeking in the Cameroon Economy
Traditional economic theory regards the social costs of monopoly as the reduction in both consumer and producer surplus as a result of monopolization of certain sectors of the economy. Recent research has shown that a proper accounting of the social costs of monopoly must include the costs of obtaining and maintaining monopoly positions. Anne O. Krueger used the term "rent seeking" to refer to the expending of scarce resources by entrepreneurs to…
Political Determinants of Rates in Electric Utilities
The authors undertake an empirical examination of the hypothesized relationship between political variables and regulatory commission behavior (i.e., utility rate levels). Focusing on five political variables, they find evidence to support the argument that political factors do effect electric utility rates. They find commissioner terms of office and number of commissioners to be significantly, related to rate levels and offer explanations for co…

The Determinants of Birth Rate in Developing Countries
The statistics of birth rate determinants∗
This paper investigates the effects of various socioeconomic variables on fertility rates, with special reference to the United States. Most of the results are consistent with the earlier cross‐sectional results of Adelman, Drakatos, et. al. More specifically it appears that such socioeconomic variables as age structure, education, per capita income, population, density, and urbanization influence birth rates in both developing and developed coun…
