Chapter 2 examines the political economy of prohibition by using a state-level dataset to estimate the determinants of prohibition legislation. The analysis finds prohibition to be associated with the electoral cycle, legislature identity, lower relative strength of the alcohol industry, and the composition of state finances - in particular the share of central union excise. Chapter 3 focuses on the impact of prohibition on alcohol consumption using a series of cross sections of the National Sample Survey. Unit value analysis is conducted to estimate the impact on prices by alcohol group and uncover the demand and supply dynamics in the market. The relationship between alcohol, tobacco, and pan is examined using prohibition as an exogenous instrument, and the spill-over effects of policy on the demand for these goods are calculated. Prohibition is estimated to decrease alcohol participation by 26% with the effect varying by alcohol type and extent of prohibition. While both supply and demand shifts drive the decrease in consumption, the evidence suggests the deterrent effect of prohibition is significant. Tobacco and pan are found to be complements to alcohol and prohibition is associated with a fall in their demand. Chapter 4 focuses on the impact of prohibition on intrahousehold resource allocation by estimating Engel curves for broad categories of expenditure. The results indicate prohibition increased outlays for food and fuel with the magnitude of change being consistent with the reduction in alcohol estimated. The negative private and social effects of alcohol use are also examined. Prohibition led to a decrease in spurious liquor consumption and incidence of burglaries. However, it is associated with an increase in liver disease deaths and homicide rates. 2 Contents 1 An Overview of the Thesis 13 1.1 Introduction

  • Whatever Happened to the Seveloff Fix?
    ARTICLE 2 - Harrington (DO NOT DELETE) 5/18/2015 2:03 PM WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE SEVELOFF FIX? ANDY HARRINGTON* ABSTRACT This Article suggests that the Supreme Court has not deprived Alaska Native Villages of a valid basis for claiming the authority to create and enforce their own tribal alcohol regulations. Every federally recognized Alaskan Native Village is situated in an area over which Congress extended the federal Indian liquor laws in 1873, in an enactment Congress has never repealed; this should logically empower Alaska Native Villages to exercise the same federally- delegated authority within their federal Indian liquor law Indian country as lower-48 tribes have within their reservations or “dependent Indian communities.” Since this delegated authority is shared with the states, this postulate does not deprive the State of Alaska of any authority to enforce its own liquor laws; liquor transactions must conform to both state law and applicable tribal law. INTRODUCTION “Ways have to be found to provide communities with the power to create and enforce their own tribal alcohol regulations, ones that originate from the will of the people. Tribal authority, however, will not be feasible in light of the [Venetie] Court decision denying Alaska Natives tribal authority.”1 Do Alaska Native Villages—as federally–recognized tribes—have Copyright © 2015 by Andy Harrington. * The author is an Associate General Counsel with the University of Alaska.

Pierre du Pont tried to link his support of this cause with an effort to end an income tax on people making more than $3,000 per year. The Bergdorf-Goodman department store sold pins supporting this cause. Pauline Sabin, the first president of the Women’s National Republican Club, founded the WONPR to support this cause. Mayor John Francis Hylan participated in a march down Fifth Avenue with the American Liberties League in support of this cause, which was partially achieved with the passage of the Blaine Act. Bishop and political boss James Cannon, Jr. attacked a (*) Catholic mayor for his support of this cause in a presidential election. Supporters of this cause were known as “wets.” Businessman Adolphus Busch was one of the most prominent leaders of this cause. For 10 points, name this cause achieved through the passage of the 21st amendment. ANSWER: repeal of prohibition [or equivalents around making it legal to drink alcohol; accept repealing the 18th amendment or repealing the Volstead Act; accept wets before mentioned; do not accept or prompt on just “prohibition” or “temperance”] 2. One of this author’s works expresses a wish that one of the central figures will “raise up his head and become a man,” and that the other will return with his ship undamaged.

COLE Maurer School of Law and School of Public & Environmental Affairs, Indiana University, USA Abstract. Elinor Ostrom’s Institutional Analysis and Development (IAD) framework has been described as ‘one of the most developed and sophisticated attempts to use institutional and stakeholder assessment in order to link theory and practice, analysis and policy’. But not all elements in the framework are sufficiently well developed. This paper focuses on one such element: the ‘rules-in-use’ (a.k.a. ‘rules’ or ‘working rules’). Specifically, it begins a long-overdue conversation about relations between formal legal rules and ‘working rules’ by offering a tentative and very simple typology of relations.

  • Women with Golden Arms: Narco-Trafficking in North America, 1910–1970 Elaine Carey* St
    History Compass 6/3 (2008): 774–795, 10.1111/j.1478-0542.2008.00516.x Women with Golden Arms: Narco-Trafficking in North America, 1910–1970 Elaine Carey* St. John’s University Abstract After the arrests of a number of prominent women traffickers in 1975, the Federal Bureau of Investigation proclaimed that there was ‘no anti-woman bias’ in the Latin American drug trade (New York Times, April 22, 1975). Long before, narcotics warriors in the US, Mexico, and Canada had monitored the activities of a number of prominent women traffickers. Using official documents, reports, and newspapers, this article examines five cases of women smugglers of opiates and marijuana who operated from the early 1910s to the 1960s. Two of the women lived in the US, two in Mexico, and one in China. For all of them, Mexico served as a source of supply, a site of transit, a point for contacts, and/or a place for peddling. In this study, I argue that women found lucrative opportunities in the trafficking of narcotics just as men. Moreover, this study challenges the masculine constructions of the narcotics trade by considering how female peddlers used certain spaces in the economy to develop their enterprises or how they exploited certain gendered stereotypes to undermine the law. In 1917, the Los Angeles Times reported that the police had dismantled the largest transnational drug smuggling ring for violation of the Harrison Act.1 The earlier arrests of Oscar Kirshon and Max Singer, two smugglers in New York City, led to the destruction of the most lucrative dope rings on the West Coast.2 That million dollar a year (2006: $18,518,518) bicoastal enterprise moved heroin and opium from Canada and Mexico into California.
