Given the centrality of legislatures in our representative system of government, it is a remarkable fact that there is today no general, systematic history of state legislative development in America. There are numerous studies of particular laws or individual legislators, but the process by which this important institution evolved historically and its role in the political system remain largely unexplored. The internal development of state legislatures in the century or so after the Revolution, as Ronald Formisano (1974: 480) has observed, is "generally almostterra incognitato historians" (see also Zemsky, 1973; Bogue, 1974; Campbell, 1976). The men who served as legislators in this period are equally obscure. Historians have also assumed, without investigating the proposition, that policy making was the primary function of legislatures and that citizens were linked to that policy-making process through representatives. Studies of past legislative behavior have focused principally on the role of political parties and interest groups in the conversion of constituent demands into public policy.

In economic theory, one can distinguish between variety as a source of regional knowledge spillovers, called Jacobs externalities, and variety as a portfolio protecting a region from external shocks. We argue that Jacobs externalities are best measured by related variety (within sectors), while the portfolio argument is better captured by unrelated variety (between sectors). We introduce a methodology based on entropy measures to compute related variety and unrelated variety. Using regional data for the period 1996-2002 for The Netherlands, we find that Jacobs externalities enhance employment growth, while unrelated variety dampens unemployment growth. Implications for regional policy follow. Dans la théorie économique, la variété peut se présenter de manière distincte suivant qu'elle constitue une source de retombées de connaissances régionales, appelées externalités de Jacobs, ou un portefeuille qui protège la région des chocs externes. Nous affirmons que la variété intrasectorielle (au sein des secteurs) permet de mieux mesurer les externalités de Jacobs alors que la notion de portefeuille est mieux saisie par la variété intersectorielle (entre les secteurs). Nous présentons une méthodologie fondée sur des mesures d'entropie afin d'estimer ces deux types de variété. À partir des données régionales des Pays-Bas sur la période 1996-2002, nous constatons que les externalités de Jacobs augmentent la croissance de l'emploi, alors que la variété intersectorielle atténue celle du chômage. S'ensuivent des implications pour la politique régionale.

This is the first book to provide a systematic exposition of promising techniques for the reconstruction of small inhomogeneities from boundary measurements. In particular, theoretical results and numerical procedures for the inverse problems for the conductivity equation, the Lamé system, as well as the Helmholtz equation are discussed in a readable and informative manner. The general approach developed in this book is based on layer potential techniques and modern asymptotic analysis of partial differential equations. The book is particularly suitable for graduate students in mathematics. TOC:Introduction.- Part I: Detection of Small Conductivity Inclusions.- 2. Transmission Problem.- 3.
