Amy Dilcher examines the need for a comprehensive pain policy and argues that opioids--highly effective drugs for pain management--should be legally and practicably accessible to medical professionals and their patients, as and when needed to provide relief from pain. The article synthesizes a number of perspectives regarding the regulation of pain management and demonstrates that the inadequat...

For the standard one sector stochastic optimal growth model, we outline a new set of conditions for a policy function that satisfies the Ramsey-Euler equation to be optimal. An interior Ramsey-Euler policy function is optimal if (and only if) it is continuous or alternatively, if both consumption and investment are non-decreasing in output. One does not need to verify the transversality conditi...
