متن کاملAlcohol, marijuana, and American youth: the unintended consequences of government regulation.
This paper analyzes the impact of increases in the minimum drinking age on the prevalence of alcohol and marijuana use among high school seniors. The empirical analysis is based on a large sample of students from 43 states over the years 1980-1989.

There is something called the “Law of Unintended Consequences.” Who enacted this law, who enforces it, and its exact scope are obscure. However, from time to time it manifests itself, most recently having made an appearance in some of the fallout from the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (“the Act”). One unintended or, perhaps more accurately, unforeseen consequence of the Act h...
متن کاملIdentifying Structural Mechanisms in Standard Genetic Programming
This paper presents a hypothesis about an undiscovered class of mechanisms that exist in standard GP. Rather than being intentionally designed, these mechanisms would be an unintended consequence of using trees as information structures. A model is described that predicts outcomes in GP that would arise solely from such mechanisms. Comparisons with empirical results from GP lend support to the ...
متن کاملGENETIC TRANSFORMATION AND HYBRIDIZATION Unintended consequence of plant transformation: biolistic transformation caused transpositional activation of an endogenous retrotransposon Tos17 in rice ssp. japonica cv. Matsumae
Genetic instability could be provoked as an unintended consequence of genetic engineering in plants. Here, we report that the rice endogenous long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposon Tos17 was transpositionally activated only in transgenic calli and their regenerated plants produced by biolistic transformation in rice (Oryza sativa L.) ssp. japonica cv. Matsumae. Moreover, the transpositional...
