April 05 Journal of Law and Economics
The April 05 JLE is out. It was published last week. One article in the journal is a clear standout.
The remaining articles, however, look pretty interesting too. For instance, the paper by Nobel prize winner James Heckman, et al. looks to be quite provocative. It seeks to explain between-race wage differences using novel empirical methods. Marginal Revolution offers a nice summary of the paper. There is also another paper in the journal by Tabarrok, et al. that, as does my article, applies a natural experiment approach. In their case, they use the increase in police presence in Washington DC, brought about by the increases in the terror alert levels, to explain the effect of police presence on crime. Again, Marginal Revolution offers a succinct summary of the paper.

DB's article is the best publicity the Caymans have gotten in a long while. You'd think it was a hotbed of scholarly research. The black-hispanic effect in the other article should cause a Cosby-like stir about subcultures. Wonder which of the authors will be the sexual harasser? The Nobelist is the obvious choice but may disqualified by age.
