Estimating Present Value of Future Earnings: Experience with Dedicated Portfolios

The determination of pecuniary damages in personal injury and death actions often requires estimates that encompass expected future experience over extended periods of time. An anomoly plays an integral role in the estimation process. Namely, although neither the actual levels of future interest rates nor future wage growth rates can be predicted with reasonable certainty, the present value of magnitudes emerging from them can be. Such certainty emerges by virtue of the predictable covariance between the rates of growth of workers' earnings and interest rates reflecting the time value of money. This paper provides empirical evidence relating to the appropriate differential between interest rates and the rate of growth in wages for estimating the present value of a future earnings stream.

Damage Assessment of Household Water Quality

In the past, there was little rigorous evidence on the economic justification of minerals removed from domestic water supply. As a result, water quality standards on total dissolved solids and hardness were recommended without adequate rationale. This study assesses the pecuniary damages resulting from the presence of mineral constituents in water supply. For a typical family residence, damages are expressed as the sum of yearly capital expenditures and operation, maintenance, and repair costs for items affected by water use. The results are illustrated both graphically and mathematically as a set of functions defined over various water quality levels. Damage estimates per household are calculated for each state, the relative magnitudes implying that minerals control is likely to achieve its greatest benefits in the midwest and the southwest. The contributing role of man’s activities to mineral loads in natural water bodies is an important factor in setting water quality standards.

CONCUSSION OF THE SPINE IN ITS MEDICO-LEGAL ASPECTS.

The legal of Capitalists and Corporations to be charged with claims for pecuniary damages in cases of injuries received by individuals through a claimed negligence, was established by the English Parliament in the year 1846, and is widely known as Lord Campbell's Liability Act. Somewhat similar statutes were subsequently enacted by the State Legislatures of this country, and this responsibility on the part of carriers and employers is generally regarded as wise and tending to the proper protection of life and limb. In Great Britain the liability act is the same throughout the Kingdom, but in the United States it varies somewhat in different States, especially in the amount of damages that can be claimed. In Michigan the limit of a claim is fixed at $5,000; in New York it is $10,000; in Mississippi it is such compensation as shall be deemed fair and just in reference to the
