Medicare Part D Low-Income Subsidy
To help defray the cost of prescription drugs for beneficiaries with limited means, the Medicare Prescription, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003 included the low-income subsidy (LIS) in the Part D prescription drug insurance program. To qualify for the LIS, beneficiaries must be enrolled in a Part D plan and their assets and income must be less than the thresholds established by the law. This report focuses on beneficiaries¿ access to prescription drugs by examining: (1) the importance of assets and income in LIS denials in 2006 and 2007; and (2) state and manufacturer programs providing access to prescription drugs for Medicare beneficiaries.

Endogenous Time Preferences in Social Networks
'Peter Ordeshook is an outstanding scholar and is addressing a very important question. As he points out on the first page of Chapter 1, social norms do exist and are adhered to, constitutions survive, people cooperate with others in some settings, but not in others. The topic of this book is very exciting and important - this is a real winner.' - Elinor Ostrom, Indiana University, US Marianna Klochko and Peter Ordeshook address an under-studied issue from rational choice theory - the common assumption that individual time preferences are exogenous and fixed. They then present empirical evidence to suggest that this is not the case, exploring a computer simulation model that allows for the evolutionary change of time preferences. This is done, moreover, in the context of social networks that are themselves endogenously determined.
