This study argues that there is a formal market for journal manuscript articles. The traits of this market for nearly all disciplines, except law, are then described. We discuss how most disciplines permit a manuscript to be submitted to only one journal at a time, the role of submission fees in...

This study empirically investigates whether the assumption by the Bank of England that rising prices of imported crude oil lead to domestic inflation in the United Kingdom has had validity. In a model where real GDP growth and money stock growth are both all allowed for, empirical estimation...

This brief Note has found that the location decisions of the American Indian are influenced by geographic AFDC differentials. In particular, the American Indian population is apparently strongly attracted to high welfare areas. This finding may be interpreted as yet further support for the...

The purpose of this theoretical note is to develop a model of third-degree price discrimination in which the quantities sold in each market are interdependent. We demonstrate in our mathematical model that in this situation the price differential may be explained not only in terms of price...

Using Co-integration Tests, Granger-Causality Tests, and OLS, this study empirically investigates the determinants of the rate of return on savings and loan assets over the 1965-1991 period. It is found that it is determined by the mortgage rate, the capital/asset ratio, the price of imported...

This study empirically investigates the impact of a variety of factors on income tax evasion in the United States over the period 1973 to 1997. The aggregate estimates indicate that federal income tax evasion may be an increasing function of the federal personal income tax rate and the...

This article empirically examines the impact on interstate net migration of differential state and local property tax and transfer policies in the United States by race, age and sex for the period 1965-70. The results offer considerable support to the Tiebout hypothesis that the consumer-voter...

This multi-faceted study address a variety of topics. It first develops a formal model of why interregional wage differentials may not elicit interregional migration. Then it provides empirical support for the model. The study develops a formal model general theory of migration. It demonstrates...

For the first time in its history, the National Sample Survey of Registered Nurses in 2008 includes a question involving union status. This study utilizes the data from this sample to estimate the union/non-union wage premium for registered nurses and among some of the occupational, workplace,...
