Anti-strike laws and their effects on work stoppages by public school teachers
Article Abstract:
The effect on frequency and duration of teacher strikes by legal sanctions in anti-strike laws is examined. In 1977-1979, states with legal provisions to penalize striking teachers experienced fewer strikes than states without sanctions, and each additional penalty, as well as the existence of one or more harsh penalties, reduced the average number of strikes per school district. States with anti-strike sanctions experienced longer strikes than states without sanctions, possibly because agreements reached in these states included time-consuming negotiations about amnesty as well as compensation and working conditions. It is estimated that imposing more or tougher penalties for teacher strikes tends to decrease the expected number of school days lost.

An inquiry into effects of mobile home park rent control
Article Abstract:
A review is offered of key features of mobile home parks and coaches, as well as those who own them. A theoretical model is also offered of the mobile home park and park pad market. This model is employed in an empirical analysis of the degree to which lower pad rents stemming from rent control become part of mobile home coach sale prices in California. Findings are related specifically to a recent US Circuit Court decision concerning mobile home park rent control in Santa Barbara, CA.
