In this note we consider a society that partitions itself into disjoint jurisdictions, each choosing a location of its public project and a taxation scheme to finance it. The set of public project is multi-dimensional, and their costs could vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. We impose two principles, egalitarianism, that requires the equalization of the total cost for all agents in the sam...

Late twentieth-century jurisprudence on personal jurisdiction has had to deal with a fundamental challenge to conventional interpretations of both territorial sovereignty and networks or contacts, different than those that arose from traditional re-interpretations of visualized, cartographic space or corporate activity.

Every jurisdiction locates a public facility and distributes its cost equally among the residents. We consider two notions of stability: Nash stability and its refinement local Nash stability, and examine the existence and characterization of stable pa...

The Eichm...

Jurisdiction has traditionally been considered in international law as purely a question of the rights and powers of states. Conceived in this way, the rules on jurisdiction serve the important function of delimiting (while accepting some overlap of) state regulatory authority – the question of when a person or event may be subject to national regulation – a function which is shared with the co...

There is a considerable literature on the relationship between sprawl and accidents. However, these studies do not account for the spatially correlated effects of sprawl on accidents. In our analysis of 122 jurisdictions in Southeast Michigan, we use a Bayesian spatial autoregressive model to estimate how injuries and fatalities in one jurisdiction are associated with sprawl in that jurisdictio...
