Title = {After "Brown": The rise and retreat of school
desegregation},
Pages = {1-278},
Year = {2011},
Month = {October},
ISBN = {9780691126371},
Abstract = {The United States Supreme Court's 1954 landmark decision,
Brown v. Board of Education, set into motion a process of
desegregation that would eventually transform American
public schools. This book provides a comprehensive and
up-to-date assessment of how Brown's most visible
effect--contact between students of different racial
groups--has changed over the fifty years since the decision.
Using both published and unpublished data on school
enrollments from across the country, Charles Clotfelter uses
measures of interracial contact, racial isolation, and
segregation to chronicle the changes. He goes beyond
previous studies by drawing on heretofore unanalyzed
enrollment data covering the first decade after Brown,
calculating segregation for metropolitan areas rather than
just school districts, accounting for private schools,
presenting recent information on segregation within schools,
and measuring segregation in college enrollment. Two main
conclusions emerge. First, interracial contact in American
schools and colleges increased markedly over the period,
with the most dramatic changes occurring in the previously
segregated South. Second, despite this change, four main
factors prevented even larger increases: white reluctance to
accept racially mixed schools, the multiplicity of options
for avoiding such schools, the willingness of local
officials to accommodate the wishes of reluctant whites, and
the eventual loss of will on the part of those who had been
the strongest protagonists in the push for desegregation.
Thus decreases in segregation within districts were
partially offset by growing disparities between districts
and by selected increases in private school
enrollment.},

Title = {Big-Time sports in American Universities},
Pages = {1-313},
Publisher = {Cambridge University Press},
Year = {2011},
Month = {January},
ISBN = {9781107004344},
url = {http://big-timesports.com},
Abstract = {For almost a century, big-time college sport has been a
wildly popular but consistently problematic part of American
higher education. The challenges it poses to traditional
academic values have been recognized from the start, but
they have grown more ominous in recent decades, as cable
television has become ubiquitous, commercial opportunities
have proliferated and athletic budgets have ballooned.
Drawing on new research findings, this book takes a fresh
look at the role of commercial sports in American
universities. It shows that, rather than being the
inconsequential student activity that universities often
imply that it is, big-time sport has become a core function
of the universities that engage in it. For this reason, the
book takes this function seriously and presents evidence
necessary for a constructive perspective about its value.
Although big-time sport surely creates worrying conflicts in
values, it also brings with it some surprising positive
consequences.},

Title = {After Brown: The Rise and Retreat of School
Desegregation},
Publisher = {Princeton: Princeton University Press},
Year = {2004},
url = {http://press.princeton.edu/titles/7768.html},
Abstract = {The landmark Brown v. Board of Education ruling in 1954 set
into motion a process of desegregation that would eventually
transform American public schools. The most visible effect
was on the racial mix of schools and the resulting contact
between students of different racial and ethnic groups. This
book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date assessment of
how that interracial contact changed over the first 50 years
following the decision.<br><br>Using both published and
unpublished data on school enrollments from schools across
the country, it employs measures of interracial contact,
racial isolation, and segregation, to chronicle the changes
wrought by desegregation. It goes beyond previous studies by
drawing on previously unanalyzed data for the period before
1967, when enrollment data began to be collected by the
federal government, by calculating segregation for
metropolitan areas rather than just school districts, by
including private schools in assessing segregation, by
presenting recent information on segregation within schools,
and by measuring segregation across colleges and
universities.<br><br>Two main conclusions emerge from this
analysis. First, the interracial contact in American schools
and colleges experienced a sea-change, with the
transformation of public schools in the previously-segregated
South being the most dramatic. As an illustration, in 2000
the country's most segregated metropolitan area was less
segregated than all 20 of the most segregated metropolitan
areas in 1970. Second, however, factors combined to limit
the desegregation that did occur. In particular, as racial
disparities within public school districts declined, those
between districts grew larger. Four main reasons explain why
actual desegregation fell short of what it could have been:
white reluctance to accept racially mixed schools, the
multiplicity of options for avoiding such schools, the
willingness of local officials to accommodate the wishes of
reluctant whites, and the eventual loss of will on the part
of those who had been the strongest protagonists in the push
for desegregation.},

Title = {Buying the Best: Cost Escalation in Elite Higher
Education},
Publisher = {Princeton: Princeton University Press},
Year = {1996},
Abstract = {Expenditures by American colleges and universities increased
rapidly during the 1980s, markedly among private
institutions. Tuition charges rose sharply as well, making
the rate of inflation in private college tuition worse even
than the much-heralded run-up in medical costs. This book is
a study of these increases, particularly as they have
affected elite private research universities. Using detailed
unpublished data on expenditures,faculty teaching, class
size, and other items, the study focuses on expenditure
patterns in four universities--Duke, Harvard, and Chicago
--and one college,Carleton, over a 15-year period. The study
finds very high rates of real increase in
internally-financed expenditures, ranging from 5.3 to 6.8
percent per year. Among the factors associated with these
increases, financial aid was responsible for the largest
share. Other contributing trends included increases in the
number of faculty (and the corollary decline in average
classroom teaching loads), increases in real faculty
salaries, and increased administrative expenditures.
Ultimately, the rise in expenditures by elite institutions
during the 1980s can best be explained in reference to the
unbounded striving for excellence on the part of the
institutions and set of conditions that made it possible for
them to raise tuitions above the rate of inflation over a
sustained period.},

Title = {Philanthropy and the Nonprofit Sector in a Changing
America},
Publisher = {Bloomington: Indiana University Press},
Editor = {Clotfelter, Charles T. and Thomas Ehrlich},
Year = {1999},
Abstract = {This collection of 24 essays examines foundations and other
nonprofit organizations and the changes that are occurring
to them and around them. The volume proposes four principle
questions. First, what forceswill determine the shape and
activities of philanthropy and the nonprofit sector in the
next decade, and how will philanthropy and the
nonprofitsector be strengthened or weakened by those forces?
Second, the volumeconsiders in what areas philanthropy and
the nonprofit sector should concentrateattention in the next
decade, and whether the institutions of the sectorare better
equipped to deal with these areas better than the government
or the market. Third, the volume turns to whether changes
are needed in the management, regulation, or taxation of
philanthropy or the nonprofit sector to ensure
accountability, efficiency, and innovation. Finally,the
authors consider what steps are required to enhance the
impact of philanthropy and the nonprofit sector. Together
with the need to address serious domestic and global
concerns, they deal with such issues as strengthening
relations with the public and for-profit sectors, educating
and engaging the next generation, the dramatic growth in
philanthropic resources, the continuing importance of
religious institutions, and the special need to stress the
basic values of American philanthropy.},

Abstract = {A defining characteristic of charter schools is that they
introduce a strong market element into public education. In
this paper, we examine through the lens of a market model
the evolution of the charter school sector in North Carolina
between 1999 and 2012. We examine trends in the mix of
students enrolled in charter schools, the racial imbalance
of charter schools, patterns in student match quality by
schools’ racial composition, and the distributions of test
score performance gains compared to those in traditional
public schools. In addition, we use student fixed effects
models to examine plausibly causal measures of charter
school effectiveness. Our findings indicate that charter
schools in North Carolina are increasingly serving the
interests of relatively able white students in racially
imbalanced schools and that despite improvements in the
charter school sector over time, charter schools are still
no more effective on average than traditional public
schools.},

Achievement?},
Number = {12828},
Year = {2007},
url = {http://www.nber.org/papers/w12828},
Abstract = {Education researchers and policy makers agree that teachers
differ in terms of quality and that quality matters for
student achievement. Despite prodigious amounts of research,
however, debate still persists about the causal relationship
between specific teacher credentials and student
achievement. In this paper, we use a rich administrative
data set from North Carolina to explore a range of questions
related to the relationship between teacher characteristics
and credentials on the one hand and student achievement on
the other. Though the basic questions underlying this
research are not new - and, indeed, have been explored in
many papers over the years within the rubric of the
"education production function" - the availability of data
on all teachers and students in North Carolina over a
ten-year period allows us to explore them in more detail and
with far more confidence than has been possible in previous
studies. We conclude that a teacher's experience, test
scores and regular licensure all have positive effects on
student achievement, with larger effects for math than for
reading. Taken together the various teacher credentials
exhibit quite large effects on math achievement, whether
compared to the effects of changes in class size or to the
socio-economics characteristics of students, as measured,
for example, by the education level of their
parents.},

Evidence from a Policy Intervention in North
Carolina},
Journal = {NBER Working Paper 12285},
Year = {2006},
Month = {June},
url = {http://papers.nber.org/papers/W12285},
Abstract = {For a three-year time period beginning in 2001, North
Carolina awarded an annual bonus of $1,800 to certified
math, science and special education teachers working in high
poverty or academically failing public secondary schools.
Using longitudinal data on teachers, we estimate hazard
models that identify the impact of this differential pay by
comparing turnover patterns before and after the program’s
implementation, across eligible and ineligible categories of
teachers, and across eligible and barely-ineligible schools.
Results suggest that this bonus payment was sufficient to
reduce mean turnover rates of the targeted teachers by 12%.
Experienced teachers exhibited the strongest response to the
program. Finally, the effect of the program may have been at
least partly undermined by the state’s failure to fully
educate teachers regarding the eligibility criteria. Our
estimates most likely underpredict the potential outcome of
a program of permanent salary differentials operating under
complete information.},

8},
Journal = {NBER Working Paper 12207},

Month = {May},
url = {http://papers.nber.org/papers/W12207},
Abstract = {Using data for North Carolina public school students in
grades 3 to 8, we examine achievement gaps between white
students and students from other racial and ethnic groups.
We focus on successive cohorts of students who stay in the
state's public schools for all six years, and study both
differences in means and in quantiles. Our results on
achievement gaps between black and white students are
consistent with those from other longitudinal studies: the
gaps are sizable, are robust to controls for measures of
socioeconomic status, and show no monotonic trend between
3rd and 8th grade. In contrast, both Hispanic and Asian
students tend to gain on whites as they progress through
these grades. Looking beyond simple mean differences, we
find that the racial gaps between low-performing students
have tended to shrink as students progress through school,
while racial gaps between high-performing students have
widened. Racial gaps differ widely across geographic areas
within the state; very few of the districts or groups of
districts that we examined have managed simultaneously to
close the black-white gap and raise the relative test scores
of black students.},

Title = {The Demand for Lottery Products},
Year = {1989},
Month = {April},
Abstract = {Lotteries constitute one of the fastest-growing categories
of consumer expenditure in the United States. Not only have
an increasing number of states legalized state lotteries,
but the per capita expenditures on lotteries in lottery
states have increased at an annual rate of 13 percent after
inflation between 1975 and 1988. This article examines the
demand for lottery products. A majority of the adult public
in lottery states play in any one year, but relatively few
of these players account for most of the action".
Socioeconomic patterns of play, measured from both sales
data and household surveys, offer some surprises -- for
example, that the Engle curve of lottery expenditures
decline with income. There is some evidence that lottery
sales increase with the payout rate, although it is not
clear that it would be profitable for the states to increase
payout rates. The addition of a new game, such as lotto,
does not undercut sales of existing games, and the oft-heard
claim that interest (and sales) will "inevitably" decline is
contradicted by the data. The organizational form of the
lottery is evolving in response to the quest for higher
revenues: in particular, smaller states are forming
multistate game. This article is a chapter from Selling
Hope: State Lotteries in America, an NBER monograph to be
published by Harvard University Press in November,
1989.},

Abstract = {The decades-long resistance to federally imposed school
desegregation entered a new phase at the turn of the new
century. At that time, federal courts stopped pushing racial
balance as a remedy for past segregation and adopted in its
place a color-blind approach to evaluating school district
assignment plans. Using data that span 1998 to 2016 from
North Carolina, one of the first states to come under this
color-blind dictum, we examine the ways in which households
and policymakers took actions that had the effect of
reducing the amount of interracial contact in K-12 schools
within counties. We divide these reductions in interracial
contact into portions due to the private school and charter
school sectors, the existence of multiple school districts,
and racial disparities between schools within districts and
sectors. For most counties, the last of these proves to be
the biggest, though in some counties private schools,
charter schools, or multiple districts played a deciding
role. In addition, we decompose segregation in the state's
11 metropolitan areas, finding that more than half can be
attributed to racial disparities inside school districts. We
also measure segregation by economic status, finding that
it, like racial segregation, increased in the largest urban
counties, but elsewhere changed little over the
period.},

accompanying welfare loss, this change has inadvertently
made lotteries better, or at least less objectionable. This
paper reviews the normative case for reducing the implied
tax, documents the rise in payout rates across the United
States, offers an explanation for that rise, notes the
starring role played by instant games, illustrates its
effect on the regressivity of lottery finance, and documents
the surprising correlation between the price of instant

classroom-level segregation in counties into within-school

within-school component accounted for a sizable share of
total segregation in middle schools and high schools.
Recognizing its importance could temper the praise for
school assignment policies that reduce racial disparities
between schools but allow large disparities within them.
More generally, we observe between the two components a
complementary relationship, with one component tending to be
large when the other one is small. Comparing the degree of
segregation for the state’s two largest racial/ethnic
minority groups, we find that white/Hispanic segregation was
more severe than white/black segregation, particularly
within schools. Finally, we examine enrollment patterns by
course and show that school segregation brings with it
differences by race and ethnicity in the courses that
students take, with white students more likely to be
enrolled in advanced classes.},

Abstract = {We explore the effects of a statewide policy change that

for admission to four-year public universities in North
Carolina. Using data on cohorts of eighth-grade students
from 1999 to 2006, we exploit variation by district over
time in the math course-taking environment encountered by
students. Purely as a result of a student’s year of birth
and location, students faced different probabilities of
encountering a sequence of math courses sufficient to
qualify for admission. Within an instrumental variables
setup, we examine effects of this policy shift. We find that
students took more math courses in high school following the
state’s announcement, with relatively larger increases for
students in the middle and bottom quintiles of their
eighth-grade math test scores. Our results suggest this
increased math course-taking led to higher high school
graduation rates. It also led to increases in enrollment
rates at universities in the University of North Carolina
system, with the largest increases being in the quintiles of
student achievement from which universities were already
drawing the bulk of their enrollees. Finally, we find scant
evidence of boosts in post-enrollment college performance
due to increased math course-taking in high
school.},

Abstract = {This article contributes to the empirical literature on
remediation in community colleges by using policy variation
across North Carolina’s community colleges to examine how
remediation affects various outcomes for traditional-age
college students. We find that being required to take a
remedial course (as we define it in this article) either in
math or in English significantly reduces a student’s
probability of success in college and also the probability
that a student ever passes a college-level math or English
course. Among students who are required to take a remedial
course in their first semester, however, we find no adverse
effects on the probability of returning for another
semester. We also find differential effects by a student’s
prior achievement level, family income, and gender. Despite
methodological differences, our main findings are generally
consistent with, albeit somewhat more negative, than those
from prior studies based on regression discontinuity
designs.},

Abstract = {Community colleges are complex organizations and assessing
their performance, though important, is difficult. Compared
to 4-year colleges and universities, community colleges
serve a more diverse population and provide a wider variety
of educational programs that include continuing education
and technical training for adults, and diplomas, associates
degrees, and transfer credits for recent high school
graduates. Focusing solely on the latter programs of North
Carolina's community colleges, we measure the success of
each college along two dimensions: attainment of an applied
diploma or degree; or completion of the coursework required
to transfer to a 4-year college or university. We address
three questions. First, how much variation is there across
the institutions in these measures of student success?
Second, how do these measures of success differ across
institutions after we adjust for the characteristics of the
enrolled students? Third, how do our measures compare to the
measures of success used by the North Carolina Community
College System? Although we find variation along both
dimensions of success, we also find that part of this
variation is attributable to differences in the kinds of
students who attend various colleges. Once we correct for
such differences, we find that it is not possible to
distinguish most of the system's colleges from one another
along either dimension. Top-performing institutions,
however, can be distinguished from the most poorly
performing ones. Finally, our adjusted rates of success show
little correlation either to measurable aspects of the
various colleges or to the metrics used by the state. ©

have dispersed beyond traditional gateway regions to a
number of "new destinations." Both theory and past empirical
evidence provide mixed guidance as to whether the children
of these immigrants are adversely affected by residing in a
nontraditional destination. This study uses administrative
public school data to study over 2,800 8- to 18-year-old
Hispanic youth in one new destination, North Carolina.
Conditional on third-grade socioeconomic indicators,
Hispanic youth who arrive by age 9 and remain enrolled in
North Carolina public schools close achievement gaps with
socioeconomically similar White students by sixth grade and
exhibit significantly lower high school dropout rates. Their
performance resembles that of first-generation youth in more
established immigration gateways.},

Abstract = {The United States Supreme Court's 1954 landmark decision,
Brown v. Board of Education, set into motion a process of
desegregation that would eventually transform American
public schools. This book provides a comprehensive and
up-to-date assessment of how Brown's most visible
effect--contact between students of different racial
groups--has changed over the fifty years since the decision.
Using both published and unpublished data on school
enrollments from across the country, Charles Clotfelter uses
measures of interracial contact, racial isolation, and
segregation to chronicle the changes. He goes beyond
previous studies by drawing on heretofore unanalyzed
enrollment data covering the first decade after Brown,
calculating segregation for metropolitan areas rather than
just school districts, accounting for private schools,
presenting recent information on segregation within schools,
and measuring segregation in college enrollment. © 2004 by

Abstract = {Research has consistently shown that teacher quality is
distributed very unevenly among schools, to the clear
disadvantage of minority students and those from low-income
families. Using North Carolina data on the length of time
individual teachers remain in their schools, we examine the
potential for using salary differentials to overcome this
pattern. We conclude that salary differentials are a far
less effective tool for retaining teachers with strong
preservice qualifications than for retaining other teachers
in schools with high proportions of minority students.
Consequently large salary differences would be needed to
level the playing field when schools are segregated. This
conclusion reflects our finding that teachers with stronger
qualifications are both more responsive to the racial and
socioeconomic mix of a school's students and less responsive
to salary than are their less-qualified counterparts when
making decisions about remaining in their current school,
moving to another school or district, or leaving the

almost one extra sick day per school year than teachers in

payment was sufficient to reduce mean turnover rates of the

district policies. Although we find no time trend in racial

racial imbalance across districts are nonetheless associated

that segregation in schools might have declined had it not

Abstract = {This article considers the role of private schools in an
assessment of segregation in K–12 schools, with special
reference to the South. It presents evidence to support two
main conclusions. First, private schools have grown in
importance in the South since 1960, in contrast to their
declining importance in the rest of the country. This
contrary trend can be attributed to the region’s small
proportion of Catholics, to its rising affluence, and to
school desegregation. Because of the typically large areas
covered by school districts in the South, private schools
have offered White families an especially effective means of
avoiding exposure to non-Whites in schools, particularly in
counties with very high minority concentrations. In those
counties the rate at which Whites enrolled in private
schools tended to rise with the percentage of all students
who were non-White, increasing sharply in counties about 55%
non-White. Second, the article presents measures of the
extent to which private schools contribute to segregation in
schools in all regions. Using data on public and private
enrollments in 1999–2000, the article shows that private
schools accounted for only about 16% of such segregation in
the nation’s metropolitan areas, with the bulk of
segregation attributed to racial disparities between public
school districts. For the nation, segregation increased
between 1995–1996 and 1999–2000, and a rise in White
private enrollments had a role in this increase. © 2004,

Abstract = {Although many studies have measured the degree of racial
segregation in schools using information on enrollment at
the school level, data limitations have made analysis of
segregation within schools difficult to undertake. Such
within-school segregation, often associated with academic
tracking, necessarily keeps actual interracial contact in
schools below its maximum possible level. Using a rich set
of administrative data on North Carolina public schools, we
examine patterns of enrollment within schools, allowing us
to assess the comparative importance of segregation within
and between schools. In order to examine patterns in upper
as well as lower grades, we perform separate tabulations for
1st, 4th, 7th, and 10th grades. The data make possible what
we believe to be the most comprehensive study of
within-school segregation undertaken in two decades,
covering schools in all 117 districts of a large and
racially diverse state. Using data for 1994/95 and 2000/01,
we examine trends in segregation, assess the role of a
growing Hispanic population, and evaluate the claim that
public schools in the South are becoming resegregated. We
also use the variation in measured segregation to ask what
factors are associated with between-school and within-school
segregation.},

Abstract = {This paper examines patterns of alumni giving, using data on
two cohorts of former students from a sample of private
colleges and universities. Higher levels of contributions
are associated with higher income, whether or not the person
graduated from the institution where he or she first
attended college, and the degree of satisfaction with his or
her undergraduate experience. Their satisfaction in turn was
a function of particular aspects of that experience,
including whether there was someone who took a special
interest when he or she was enrolled there. Among the more
recent cohort of graduates, those who had received
need-based aid tended to give less and those who were
related to former alumni tended to give more. © 2002

Abstract = {Using data from yearbooks for 193 high schools, this study
examines the degree of interracial contact in 8,849 high
school teams and other organizations. More than one-third of
these groups were all-white, while only about 3% were
exclusively nonwhite. Owing in large part to their overall
numerical preponderance, white students rarely found
themselves outnumbered in groups by as much as three to one;
by contrast, nonwhites often were in this position.
Tabulations show that the degree of interracial exposure was
typically less than what would occur if all organizations in
each school had been racially balanced and was much less
than the exposure that would have occurred if all
organizations reflected the racial composition of the
schools containing them. Whereas the nonwhite percentage of
the students enrolled in the sample high schools was 24.9%,
the membership of clubs and teams was 20.7%, reflecting a
lower rate of participation by nonwhites. Furthermore,
because the racial compositions of clubs and teams were not
uniform, the average white member was in an organization
that was only 15.3% nonwhite. Although clearly less than its
theoretical maximum, this rate of contact nonetheless
appears to be much higher than what would occur if
friendships were the only vehicle for interracial contact
outside the classroom. Finally, the extent of segregation
associated with these organizations was the same or less in
the South than in the rest of the country. © 2002 Human

higher income, with having participated in extracurricular
activities in college, with having had a mentor in college,

experience. The projected donations for the most generous of
these alumni over the course of a lifetime are quite high,

Abstract = {The effect of interracial contact in public schools on the
enrollment of whites has been an important concern in
assessments of desegregation since the 1970s. It has been
feared that "white flight" - meaning exit from or avoidance
of racially mixed public schools - could undermine the
racial contact that desegregation policy seeks to enhance.
This study examines this question using recent data. It also
expands coverage from large urban districts to entire
metropolitan areas, paying attention to the spatial context
within which enrollment decisions are made. To do so, it
examines data for 1987 and 1996 on racial composition and
enrollment in all schools and school districts in 238
metropolitan areas. The study finds that white losses appear
to be spurred both by interracial contact in district where
their children attend school and by the opportunities
available in metropolitan areas for reducing that contact.
These findings apply with remarkable consistency to large
and small districts in both large and small metropolitan
areas. Implications for metropolitan segregation are
examined. © 2001 by the Association for Public Policy

schools for metropolitan areas. It shows that, not only are
metropolitan areas very segregated, most of that segregation
is due to racial disparities between districts rather than
segregative patterns within districts. Metropolitan areas in
the South and West tend to have larger districts, and thus
feature less fragmentation by school district. Segregation
at the metropolitan level appears to vary systematically
with size, racial mix, and region. Because larger
metropolitan areas tend to have more jurisdictions and
exhibit greater differences in racial composition among
jurisdictions, measured segregation rises with size, as
measured by school enrollment. (JEL I21).},

lottery participation to see whether actual behavior is

for the amount of money bet on a particular number to fall
sharply immediately after it is drawn, and then gradually to
recover to its former level over the course of several
months. This pattern is consistent with the hypothesis that
lottery players are in fact subject to the gambler's

Abstract = {Through the process of “bracket creep,” the marginal tax
rates faced bytaxpayers under a progressive income tend to
increase as inflation pushes up nominal incomes. Congress
has sought to offset the resulting revenue increases by
cutting taxes periodically in recent years. Because of the
potential economic importance of marginal tax rates, this
article examines changes in marginal tax rates since 1964 to
assess the effect of inflation and tax cuts on the level and
structure of marginal tax rates. The article finds that
marginal rates generally have risen over the period,
especially for upper income taxpayers. Based on official
projections of nominal income growth, marginal tax rates
will not, in general, fall as a result of the 1981 tax cut.
Only a fundamental restructuring, such as the adoption of a
“flat-rate” income tax, has the potential of reducing
marginal rates significantly. © 1984, Sage Publications.

Abstract = {In a recent paper, Bordua and Lizotte (1979) analyze
determinants of firearm ownership using cross‐sectional
data for Illinois counties. Noting that firearms may be
purchased for the purpose of sport, self‐protection, or
crime, they present clear evidence of sporting demand and
limited evidence of defensive motives in the pattern of gun
ownership. Crime rates are significant only in the equation
explaining gun ownership by women (1979: 161). The purpose
of the present article is to supplement the findings of
Bordua and Lizotte and earlier empirical studies by focusing
on the demand for handguns alone. In particular, the article
analyzes the role of crime rates and fear of violence in
motivating citizens to buy and keep handguns. For this
purpose, aggregate time‐series and cross‐sectional data
on handgun sales were collected and analyzed. Because
handguns are durable pieces of equipment, it is necessary to
use a model that distinguishes the stock of handguns at any
one time from the rate of handgun purchases. Copyright ©

Abstract = {In the US, a number of proposals have been made in the past
to replace the existing electoral college system in the
presidential elections with some form of direct elections.
There is however considerable uncertainty about how such a
change would affect the political influence and campaign
expenditures of different states. A model is presented to
assess the change. Assumptions are made about how
campaigning affects voter behaviour. Simulations of the
model are presented for a hypothetical country. Experiments
indicate that optimal allocations are sensitive to changes
in campaign technology (in media exposure) and to variations
in voter preferences. -P.Townroe},

Abstract = {This paper presents a reexamination of James Coleman et
al.'s study of white enrollment losses from desegregating
urban school districts over the period 1968-1973. New
equations are estimated using a different measure of
desegregation, additional explanatory variables, and
modified samples. The earlier conclusion that desegregation
has been a significant stimulant of white enrollment losses
in the largest central city districts is supported, although
this overall effect comes almost entirely from districts in
which black-white contact exceeds a threshold level. In
addition, the age structure of the district's white
population and the geographical coverage of the district are
significant in explaining white losses for some samples. ©

Abstract = {Gambling has experienced rapid growth in recent decades,
marked by the legalization of heretofore forbidden games and
increasing rates of participation among households. This
legalization is invariably accompanied by both regulation
and taxation. Governments collect excise tax revenue from
gross revenue (e.g. slot machines and casino gambling
tables) or gross wager (e.g. lotteries). Overall, gambling
products tend to be subject to quite high implicit or
explicit rates approximating those on tobacco and alcohol.
While the joint legalization and taxation probably conveys
net welfare gains (net gamblers are better off), the
legalization nevertheless imposes some external costs
(compulsive gamblers, particularly of gaming machines, are
worse off). The incidence of gambling taxes is usually
regressive. The taxation of gambling is bound up with other
policy issues relating to society's attitude towards
gambling. A middle ground is to accommodate the existing,
unstimulated demand for gambling, without doing anything to
stimulate that demand. Besides limiting the availability of
gambling opportunities, this approach would be consistent
with differentially higher tax rates.},

Abstract = {Although it may not be the most visible manifestation of
wealth, charitable giving is and has been a hallmark of
affluence. Wealthy patrons occupy a prominent place in the
life of the nonprofit sector. Those occupying the top rungs
of the income and wealth distributions make a
disproportionate share of all charitable gifts: the one
percent of American households with the highest incomes made
more than 16 percent of all contributions in 1994,and the
wealthiest 1.4 percent of decedents gave some 86 percent of
all charitable bequests. This paper examines the charitable
giving of the wealthy,noting the tax provisions affecting it
and the institutional arrangements that have developed to
foster it. The paper also presents data on the patterns and
trends in contributions by the wealthy, both by living
donors and through charitable bequests. The paper reveals
the importance of gifts to higher education among the
largest donors, the great variation in percentage of income
contributed, and the high variability over time in giving by
the wealthy. It provides evidence on the distribution of
charitable bequests by gender and the magnitude of the
permanent price effect on charitable giving implied by panel
data on contributions during the 1980s. It also suggests
that contributions as a percentage of income seems to have
declined during the 1980s, and then recovered somewhat by
1995.},

Booktitle = {Economic Effects of Fundamental Tax Reform},
Publisher = {Washington, DC: Brookings Institution},
Editor = {Henry J. Aaron and William G. Gale},
Year = {1996},
Abstract = {Major changes in the U.S. tax system are being urged by
many, and considered by virtually all of the participants in
national policy-making. Because the nonprofit sector of the
American economy is largely shaped by the tax system from
which it is largely exempt, any major changes to that
system,whether or not targeted at nonprofits, are likely to
affect them profoundly.In this paper, we analyze the effects
of three types of fundamental change in the tax system,
involving, respectively, consumed-income taxes, "flat"taxes,
and business transactions taxes, either as supplements to,
or replacements of, the current individual and corporate
income taxes. Our analysis suggests that all of these
proposals would have significant and adverse impact on the
nonprofit sector. In particular, business transfer taxes
pose the greatest threat to the value of the tax exemption
itself. "Flat" taxes--especially those that contain no
provision for deduction of charitable contribution--are
likely to have the greatest impact on the incentives to make
contributions to those charitable nonprofit organizations
that are currently eligible to receive deductible
contributions. An important feature of the paper is the
application of simulation techniques to predict the
consequences of the tax proposals on the amount of
charitable contributions. The model employed suggests that
some forms of "flat" taxes may depress individual
contributions by as much as a fifth, and that the proposed
repeal of the estate and gift tax, and the proposed
elimination of deductibility of corporate charitable
contributions may depress contributions from those sources
by more than a third.},

district policy initiatives},

Publisher = {University of Wisconsin Press},

Month = {January},
ISSN = {0022-166X},

Abstract = {The proportion of students taking a first algebra course in
middle school has doubled over the past generation and there
have been calls to make eighth grade algebra universal. We
use significant policy shifts in the timing of algebra in
two large North Carolina districts to infer the impact of
accelerated entry into algebra on student performance in
math courses as students progress through high school. We
find no evidence of a positive mean impact of acceleration
in any specification and significant negative effects on
performance in both Algebra I and the traditional followup
course, Geometry. Accelerating algebra to middle school
appears benign or beneficial for higherperforming students
but unambiguously harmful to the lowest performers. We
consider whether the effects reflect the reliance on
less-qualified teachers and conclude that this mechanism
explains only a small fraction of the result.},

ISSN = {0272-7757},

Abstract = {We use a rich administrative dataset from North Carolina to
explore questions related to the relationship between
teacher characteristics and credentials on the one hand and
student achievement on the other. Though the basic questions
underlying this research are not new-and, indeed, have been
explored in many papers over the years within the rubric of
the "education production function"-the availability of data
on all teachers and students in North Carolina over a
10-year period allows us to explore them in more detail than
has been possible in previous studies. We conclude that a
teacher's experience, test scores and regular licensure all
have positive effects on student achievement, with larger
effects for math than for reading. Taken together the
various teacher credentials exhibit quite large effects on
math achievement, whether compared to the effects of changes
in class size or to the socio-economic characteristics of
students.},
