The analysis in this study examines the effects on the U.S. economy of a $1.00 per pack equivalent increase in the tobacco products excise tax which has been proposed as a means to partially finance the Clinton Administration's program of health care reform. The analytical approach used in the study consisted of a computable general equilibrium model composed of 14 producing sectors, 14 consuming sectors, six household categories classified by income and a government. The results suggest that as a result of an increase in the excise tax, there will be a decrease in output by all producing sectors of 0.21 percent, a fall in the consumption of goods and services by about 0.49 percent, a decline in total utility by 0.47 percent, and a net increase in government revenue of 1.74 percent. Moreover, as a consequence of this tax increase, tobacco consumption will decline by 12.15 percent. Clearly, an increase in the federal excise tax on tobacco products is a potent policy to curtailing smoking.

Because of the assumed elective nature of asexual reproduction, less public policy attention bas been directed toward the sperm bank indusby. Progression in the field of reproductive technologies, in conjunction with changes in cultural norms, have increased both the availability and occurrence of artificial insemination procedures. Further, the increasing level of sophistication in marketing by intermediaries in the human semen exchange process has facilitated the complex exchange process inherent in asexual reproduction. The paper is divided into four sections. First, we describe the current state of the market for semen. The evolution of the industry is described subsequently. Then, we chronicle historical regulatory evidence in blood banking which provides a framework for assessing the physical risks inherent in the distribution of semen. Next, a discussion of the psychological/legal risks of the industry is provided. Our discussion demonstrates the need for increased regulation to protect the interes...

This paper describes the structure of the shelter system in the City of Philadelphia and the patterns by which homeless people utilize that system. The shelter system is found to be segregated by age, gender, family and disability status, with the young single men and families concentrated in the largest facilities (capacity more than 100). A majority of the city's shelters are run on a for-profit basis, many of which are small “board and care” facilities, although the plurality of shelter beds are in large, not-for profit shelters. Data are reported which reveal an annual rate of turnover in the shelter system of approximately 6 persons per bed, with an annual “average length of stay” of 60 days per client. However, repeat users are likely to account for as much as one-third of the shelter population at any given time. Considered together, these findings suggest that, for many people, the shelters serve primarily as a short-term supplement to a restricted range of housing opportunities in the community. ...

This article presents a comprehensive policy analysis of the provincial Adoption Disclosure Statute Law Amendment Act (1987). It describes the historical development of adoption disclosure policies in Ontario, including The Child Welfare Act, 1978, which provided the establishment of a provincial voluntary Disclosure Registry. The present policy, which includes a provision to search for a birth relative at the request of the adult adoptee, is then analyzed. The assumptions on which the policy are based and the contextual social and political influences which led to the development of the policy are analyzed. Implications of the policy in terms of service delivery to the target populations and the effects and consequences of the policy on these populations are discussed.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the degree of stringency of three pharmaceutical regulatory controls in nine developed countries. A mail survey was conducted among pharmaceutical executives to assess their attitudes toward the impact of regulatory items on the new drug development and introduction. These regulatory items were withdrawn from year-specific individual country regulatory profiles. A multi-attribute attitude model was then employed to construct the index during the study period. The results of this study can be useful in evaluating the regulatory impact on the pharmaceutical research and development productivity and rate of new drug introduction across the nations.
