Economic Analysis and Unconstitutional Conditions: A Reply to Professor Epstein
Get PDFIn this Article, Professor Abrams responds to Professor Richard Epstein\u27s Forward in the November 1988 issue of the Harvard Law Review in which Professor Epstein discusses the unconstitutional conditions doctrine. The doctrine holds that a person may not, under certain conditions, be forced to choose between exercise of a constitutional right and receipt of a government service, grant, or other benefit. Professor Abrams notes that Professor Epstein failed to follow through on his promise of showing how the doctrine of unconstitutional conditions does, and should, function in a variety of contexts as a check against the political perils of certain market failures. Professor Abrams addresses each market failure cited by Professor Epstein, to wit: state-owned monopolies, bargaining problems caused by collective action, and exchanges producing significant externalities. The former concludes that Professor Epstein\u27s functional approach is flawed and introduces an alternative economic analysis showing that motivation and not economics must be the linchpin of the doctrine

Circles Minimize most Knot Energies
Get PDFWe define a new class of knot energies (known as renormalization energies)
and prove that a broad class of these energies are uniquely minimized by the
round circle. Most of O'Hara's knot energies belong to this class. This proves
two conjectures of O'Hara and of Freedman, He, and Wang. We also find energies
not minimized by a round circle. The proof is based on a theorem of G. Luko on
average chord lengths of closed curves.Comment: 15 pages with 3 figures. See also http://www.math.sc.edu/~howard
