A simple way to estimate current-quarter GNP

This paper describes a method developed to predict the advance (first) estimate of inflation-adjusted gross national product (real GNP) using hours-worked data. Besides generating fairly accurate forecasts of advance GNP, the method has two implications. First, the Commerce Department seems to weigh the hours-worked data most heavily in its early estimates of real GNP but less and less so in its revised estimates. Second, analysts attempting to predict current-quarter outcomes in real time need to consider the availability and reliability of data at the time the forecasts are made.Gross national product ; Vector autoregression

Guest Statutes: Another Fault with No-Fault

The concept of no-fault automobile insurance has provoked an extraordinary amount of heated discussion in the past decade. Several commentators have suggested that the intensity of emotional reaction to no-fault is not matched by a corresponding depth of knowledge on the subject. Few discussions have considered the impact of no-fault on the present automobile reparations system in terms of no-fault\u27s effect on specific legal doctrines. This comment proposes to examine one such traditional doctrine, the automobile guest passenger law, in light of existing state no-fault plans. At first glance, guest laws and no-fault insurance seem to embody similar philosophies. The former are designed to restrict the applicability of fault standards by immunizing a segment of the motoring public from the legal consequences of negligence. The latter rejects, in generally pejorative terms, the validity of a fault-centered reparations system

Sex Discrimination: Female Participation in Little League Baseball

King v. Little League Baseball, Inc., 505 F.2d 264 (6th Cir. 1974). Do girls have the constitutional right to participate on an equal basis with boys in Little League baseball? According to King v. Little League Baseball, Inc., girls do not even possess the right to have this question answered by a federal court. This suggests that the paramount consideration in cases challenging sexual discrimination by private athletic organizations is not the presence of a right, but the existence of a remedy
