  • A Broken Clock: Fixing New York's Speedy Trial Statute
    A Broken Clock: Fixing New York’s Speedy Trial Statute DANIEL HAMBURG* New York City’s criminal courts, and those in the Bronx especially, are in crisis. Following the institution of “Broken Windows” policing in the mid- nineties, New York City courts have been flooded with misdemeanor cases, preventing the timely administration of justice. The outsized delay that now regularly accompanies misdemeanor cases in the New York City crim- inal justice system creates grave consequences for defendants and for socie- ty as a whole. This Note argues that a major source of the delay in the ad- judication of misdemeanors is New York’s speedy trial statute, CPL 30.30, and the New York Court of Appeals’ decisions interpreting it. In contrast to the statutory approach of the federal government and other states, New York calculates speedy trial time from the prosecution’s declaration of trial readiness rather than from when the defendant’s case is actually heard. As a result, the speedy trial clock is often stalled for months while the de- fendant awaits trial. This Note suggests that by adopting a true speedy trial rule and excluding routine court congestion as a permissible source of delay, while also reviving the constitutional right for misdemeanor cases, the promise of speedy trials can be restored to New York’s criminal courts.

  • Collusive Behavior in Noncooperative Epsilon-Equilibria of Oligopolies with Long but Finite Lives
    JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC THEORY 22, 136-l 54 (1980) Collusive Behavior in Noncooperative Epsilon-Equilibria of Oligopolies with Long but Finite Lives ROY RADNER Bell Laboratories, Murray Hill, New Jersey 07974 Received March 9, 1979 In a game of a finite number of repetitions of a Cournot-type model of an industry, if firms are satisfied to get close to (but not necessarily achieve) their optimal responses to other firms’ sequential strategies, then in the resulting non- cooperative “equilibria” of the sequential market game, (1) if the lifetime of the industry is large compared to the number of firms, there are equilibria correspond- ing to any given duration of the cartel, whereas (2) if the number of firms is large compared to the industry’s lifetime, all equilibria will be close (in some sense) to the competitive equilibrium. 1. INTRODUCTION In 1838 Augustin Cournot introduced his model of market equilibrium, which has become known in modern game theory as a noncooperative (or Nash) equilibrium [I]. Cournot’s model was intended to describe an in- dustry with a fixed number of firms with convex cost functions, producing a homogeneous product, in which each firm’s action was to choose an output (or rate of output), and in which the market price was determined by the total industry output and the market demand function. A Cournot-Nash equilibrium is a combination of outputs, one for each firm, such that no firm can increase its profit by changing its output alone. Cournot thought of his model as describing “competition” among firms; this corresponds to what we call today the “noncooperative” character of the equilibrium.

  • New Policing, New Segregation: from Ferguson to New York
    New Policing, New Segregation: From Ferguson to New York JEFFREY FAGAN * AND ELLIOTT ASH§ INTRODUCTION In popular and political culture, many observers credit nearly twenty- 1 five years of declining crime rates to the “New Policing.” Breaking with a past tradition of “reactive policing,” the New Policing emphasizes advanced statistical metrics, new forms of organizational accountability, 2 and aggressive tactical enforcement of minor crimes. The existing research and scholarship on these developments have focused mostly on the nation’s major cities, where concentrated populations and elevated crime rates provide pressurized laboratories for police experimentation, often in the spotlight of political scrutiny. An additional line of scholarship has looked more closely at how the tactics of the New Policing have become institutionalized in police–citizen interactions in the everyday lives of residents of poorer, often minority, and higher-crime areas of the 3 nation’s cities. * Isidor and Seville Sulzbacher Professor of Law, and Professor of Epidemiology, Columbia University. © 2017, Jeffrey Fagan. Fagan was consultant to the U.S. Department of Justice, Special Litigation Section, in the investigation of the Ferguson, Missouri Police Department. He also was expert for Plaintiffs in Floyd v. City of New York, 959 F. Supp. 2d 540 (S.D.N.Y. 2013), challenging the constitutionality of the stop and frisk program of the New York City Police Departments.

  • Games with Switching Costs and Endogenous References*
    Games with Switching Costs and Endogenous References* Begum Guney† Michael Richter‡ June 30, 2021 Abstract We introduce a game-theoretic model with switching costs and endogenous references. An agent endogenizes his reference strategy and then, taking switching costs into account, he selects a strategy from which there is no profitable deviation. We axiomatically characterize this selection procedure in one-player games. We then extend this procedure to multi-player simultaneous games by defining a Switching Cost Nash Equilibrium (SNE) notion, and prove that (i) an SNE always exists; (ii) there are sets of SNE which can never be a set of Nash Equilibrium for any standard game; and (iii) SNE with a specific cost structure exactly characterizes the Nash Equilibrium of nearby games, in contrast to Rad- ner’s (1980) "-equilibrium. Subsequently, we apply our SNE notion to a product differentiation model, and reach the opposite conclusion of Radner (1980): switching costs for firms may benefit consumers. Finally, we compare our model with others, especially Koszegi¨ and Rabin’s (2006) personal equilibrium. Keywords: Switching Cost Nash Equilibrium, Choice, Endogenous Reference, Switching Costs, Epsilon Equilibrium JEL classification: D00, D01, D03, C72 *We thank Levent Koc¸kesen, Yusufcan Masatlioglu, George Mailath, Ariel Rubinstein, Rani Spiegler, Roee Teper, and three anonymous referees for their helpful comments and suggestions.

  • Economists' Papers Archive
    Economists’ Papers Archive Since beginning its program to preserve the papers of distinguished economists in the 1980s, Duke’s Rubenstein Library has received the personal and professional papers of more than seventy significant economists, including twelve Nobel laureates. These collections offer an essential resource to researchers in the history of economic thought, and are frequently consulted by scholars from around the globe. Together with Duke’s Center for the History of Political Economy—and developed in cooperation with faculty there—the Archive has become a locus for exciting collaborations and discoveries, furthering our understanding of the development of the economic policies and principles that influence contemporary life. The collections contain a wealth of unique research material on virtually every area of modern economics, from the notebooks of the founder of the Austrian school of economic thought, Carl Menger, to the correspondence files of Paul Samuelson, one of the past century’s most influential intellectuals. Topics covered in particular depth include game theory, in the papers of Leonid Hurwicz, Oskar Morgenstern, Martin Shubik, Vernon Smith, and others; public policy, including the papers of Kenneth Arrow, Arthur Burns, Juanita Kreps, Robert Lucas, and Franco Modigliani; and macroeconomic topics, including the papers of Robert Solow, Edward Prescott, and many others. The library is actively acquiring new collections as well as organizing and cataloging existing papers. In addition to the papers of individual economists, the library also holds the records of several organizations and journals important for the history of economic thought. Chief among these are the records of the American Economic Association, founded in 1885.
