From the Paper
" Rent control is raised as an issue in city after city either because the city does not have rent control and some tenants' and liberal groups believe it should be instituted, or because the city does have rent control and critics want it abolished because of the damage they see it has done to housing, repair and construction, and even social relationships. Rent control is an idea with great appeal for the beleaguered tenant who feels that rents are too high and that there has been no government effort to correct the problem. Advocates see it as a way of imposing fairness, but in truth it imposes unfairness and disparity between people who have rented for a long time and new renters. It reduces the incentives landlords have to repair their buildings and to make improvements. It takes the profit out of being a landlord, and it effectively eliminates competition in housing in(...)"

Abstract
This paper argues that, while on the surface, rent control appears to protect the tenants from unreasonable rental charges by their landlords, when one peels away the top layer and examines the underpinnings of the concept, one discovers that rent control laws actually have a negative impact on those they are designed to help. The paper presents a detailed examination of rent control and the issues that it presents. The author explores several cities and the impact that rent control has had on both landlords and tenants in those areas.
From the Paper
"Recent changes in the law in Santa Monica were supposed to protect landlords by allowing them to charge market rent once a rent controlled tenant moved out. What it did instead is set the stage for slumlord mentality as many landlords stopped making needed repair in the hope that the tenant would get fed up and move out and the landlord could then rent the unit for market rent price."

Abstract
The paper explains that issues of rent control and the often toxic debates that surround it have been a social and an economic concern for several decades. Typically, rent control efforts are made at the city or municipality level and are not enacted at the state or federal level. The paper discusses how rent control and the issues related to it are nothing more than a series of laws that are intended to control what city rents average, as well as regulate how much, percentage wise, they can be increased in any given year.
From the Paper
"Traditionally, New York, New Jersey and California are most commonly associated with rent controls because of those states' rapid cost of housing increases that have priced many consumers out of the housing market and forced many individuals to become career renters."

Abstract
This paper looks at the issue of rent control in cities in America. The writer looks at the benefits of rent control for tenants and cites that many cities do not have rent control and some tenants' and liberal groups believe it should be instituted. The paper then provides the counter argument, from the landlord's point of view.
From the Paper
"Rent control is an idea with great appeal for the beleaguered tenant who feels that rents are too high and that there has been no government effort to correct the problem. Advocates see it as a way of imposing fairness, but in truth it imposes unfairness and disparity between people who have rented for a long time and new renters. It reduces the incentives landlords have to repair their buildings and to make improvements. It takes the profit out of being a landlord, and it effectively eliminates competition in housing in urban regions. In many cases, it has also created a black market in sublets, with those paying little for rent because they have rent-controlled apartments renting them for higher prices to others illegally. An interview with a 50-year old male, referred to as the Landlord, with experience of the rent control situation in santa Monica, illuminates the landlord side of the issue, while it is usually the renter's side that is represented in arguments for rent control."

Abstract
This paper states that the impetus behind rent control is benevolent but misguided. The author believes that rent controls are more damaging than often believed and there is little that government policy can do to ameliorate the situation. The paper relates that price floors are economically unsound policy platforms, and it is more likely that rents would better be determined and controlled by the free use of market forces.

Abstract
The economic quandary of rent control has successfully perpetuated itself in many different American communities for several reasons. Social beliefs and political controls have allowed for renters to retain their protected "right" to cheap rent at the expense of the rights of land owners and others who would hope to prosper from a free competitive housing market in these select cities. This paper details the economic, social, and political elements of rent control in large cities. It outlines both the positive and negative elements involvement, and draws an overall conclusion based on economic policy.
From the Paper
"Opening up premier properties to the market would spark interest and allow property owners to determine supply and demand. Property owners can determine how many properties they would like to rent as well as the amount for which they will rent them. These land owners will most likely choose to rent out as many properties as possible at the highest rate the market will endure. This will allow the above increase in supply that should prevent prices from going too high".

Abstract
This paper examines components of restrictive rent control legislation and its economic and social consequences in America. This examination focuses specifically on rent control applications in New York City and the urban cities of Santa Monica and Berkeley, California. Additionally, the paper discusses how government regulations violate two of the eight basic principles of economic thinking. These basic principles are: (1) incentives matter ? choice is influenced in a predictable way by changes in economic incentives and (2) economic actions often generate secondary effects in addition to their immediate effects.
From the Paper
"Rent control is one of the most controversial social welfare programs in existence. In 1943 and after World War II, the federal government enacted rent controls as a ?temporary? attempt to combat housing shortages in intensive populated or urban areas and to protect residents from high housing prices. Opponents argue that rent control result in decreased levels of construction, decreased levels of maintenance on existing properties, and abnormal housing vacancies, and is therefore economically ineffective. Some opponents even feel that rent control causes homelessness. Advocates of rent control and rent stabilization see it as a way to ensure the availability of affordable rental housing for low and middle-income urban dwellers. Rent control advocates contend ? there was already a housing shortage and that rent-control laws were enacted to keep landlords from taking advantage of the situation by ?gouging? tenants? (Sowell, 1999). Many rent control proponents feel that the abolishment of rent controls would result in increased homelessness. "

Abstract
This paper discusses the economics behind rent control enforcement. It discusses the advantages and disadvantages of rent control and the effect that this has on the rental market. It describes basic supply and demand issues as they relate to rental prices and availability. The paper concludes that exercising rent control policies more often than not results in an actual shortage of housing due to the innate removal of the economic stimulus for private developers to build new rental properties.
From the Paper
"Exercising rent control policies more often than not results in an actual shortage of housing due to the innate removal of the economic stimulus for private developers to build new rental properties. Additionally, rental units not controlled by rental control laws are forced to compensate for the lost revenue of controlled units by having their rent levels unduly increased. Other research indicates that some of the sacred cows of rental control proponents, such as improved integration in the community and elevated living standards for the low-income and the elderly, simply do not occur (Freeman & Braconi). Housing markets, just as any other market, should be left to the forces of the free market itself to find and locate its own equilibrium relative to supply and demand. If the market demands additional housing and the economic profile of the community supports its construction, additional housing will be built. If the economic profile of the community does not support it and there is not a local demand, supply will not increase."

Rent Regulation, 2004.
An overview of the history of rent regulation and the advantages of rent deregulation.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how rent control and rent stabilization have been used in a number of American cities for many decades and how, from New York to California, many cities impose rent regulations for a number of different reasons and in a number of different ways. It explores how, although these regulations can be beneficial in some cases and for some people, there are also serious drawbacks to the programs for the general population. It attempts to show that with deregulation, it is possible to ensure a fair housing market for all, including the low income, middle class, and upper class citizens and how, with slow rent increases, gradual housing development, and a provision for low income families, the housing market could return to its normal state. It looks at how, done correctly and with proper concern for all parties, landlords and tenants can both benefit from the deregulation of the housing market.
From the Paper
"Rent control, or rent stabilization, in general, can be described in current society as a limit to the amount of rent a landlord can charge a tenant for a specific living area (Clockedile, 2003). Rent control and rent stabilization laws place a ceiling on the level of rent a landlord is allowed to charge, based on the current cost of living in the area and the Consumer Price Index. In addition, rent control and rent stabilization allows tenants who have lived in the occupancy for a certain time the right to renew their lease, and limits the circumstances in which a tenant can be evicted (Pusey, 2002)."

From the Paper
"Prior to the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War in Massachusetts, General Thomas Gage - the British military Governor of the state - ordered that all private arms in Boston be deposited with the British magistrates, presumably to be stored and eventually returned to the owners. Many American citizens obeyed the order. They surrendered 1,778 muskets, 634 pistols, 973 bayonets, and 38 blunderbusses on the eve before British troops initiated their siege on the United States at the battles of Lexington and Bunker Hill (Halbrook, 1986, p. 151). Several years later, the event so impressed the framers of the new American Constitution that the "right to bear arms" was codified for all times in the Second Amendment.
However, the issue of gun control has reemerged in recent decades. Court interpretations of the Second Amendment have (...)"

"Organization. In virtually every type of organization, responsibility and accountability are inextricably related. According to Loren E. Newland (1997), "This concept is no less true in the lodging industry. For example, the food and beverage manager is responsible for ensuring that quality meals are served to guests. If guests are satisfied, the food and beverage manager receives the credit. If the guests express dissatisfaction with their dining experience, the same manager is subject to criticism" (45)."

From the Paper
"Doing business is simply mathematics by other means ? all a question of keeping equations in balance on both sides. Labor must be balanced with capital. Resources with allocation. Customers with services or goods. Workers with rewards. The only way that such balances can be instituted and maintained is through a system of management control. At the heart of any well-run business operation is a sound theory of control and overall operating strategy. This paper looks at the importance of management control to the running of any business and examines how the process of control has changed with the introduction of the internet."

Control Issues in Anorexia Patients, 2001.
A discussion of issues of control in anorexics and an analysis of the disorder.

Abstract
This paper consists of the various ways that individuals with anorexia use forms of control to maintain their disease. Specific control issues discussed are control over previous sexual abuse, control over social ideals of thinness, control over narcissism, and control over food. The author briefly describes the disorder itself, then spends most of the paper discussing various types of control.
From the Paper
"Research has been done on the ways control is shown through the expression of anorexia. Studies have shown that many anorexic individuals try to exert control over their bodies through deprivation of food because they have very little control over any other aspect of their lives. The aspects of control can vary from individual to individual. Therefore one anorexic individual may have one or many aspects of control in his or her life that is related to the disorder. Finally, in addition to the various aspects of control, an anorexic individual may have obsessive-compulsive characteristics that accompany the disorder. Obsessive-compulsive disorder and its characteristics are more commonly found in individuals displaying the behaviors of anorexia than individuals with bulimia (Hall et al., 1992; Wonderlich, Swift, Slotnick, & Goodman, 1990; Rogers, & Petrie, 2001, p. 181). Another disorder that can coexist quite often with anorexia is depression."

Table of Contents:
Needs for Population Control

China and India
Southeast Asia
Bangladesh
Conclusions
From the Paper
"The amazing economic development in countries such as Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore over the past fifty years has been accompanied by an intense interest on the part of governments in those nations in fertility issues. The nations experienced rapid population growth for much of the last century, but as much of that growth was driven by rapidly improved medical care and other aspects of development that worked to prolong life. The governments therefore implemented education policies designed to encourage people to wait until later in life to marry and to have fewer children. Such family planning worked to slow the fertility rates so that the population growths were slowed and eventually leveled. In other nations such as Vietnam and Laos, where economic development and education did not go hand in hand as expansively and rapidly, the population growth rates seem to have taken longer. This suggests that economic development can work to increase population, but that the growth can be curbed if it is coupled with social and education development, so that modernization is treated as a comprehensive program (Jones)."
