Gaming The System: Bio-Economics, Game Theory, & Fisheries Management, Richard A. Grisel Dec 2012

Gaming The System: Bio-Economics, Game Theory, & Fisheries Management, Richard A. Grisel

Richard A Grisel

This paper argues that game theory provides powerful, effective new tools to analyze externalities that occur in the context of strategic, multi-party, interactive decision-making. I will attempt to treat this as a non-technical paper and avoid the complex mathematics better left to economists and mathematicians. Instead, a more achievable goal is to illustrate how high-seas open-access fishing is virtually identical to a game situation, treat the fundamentals of game theory, and demonstrate that game theoretic analyses are well-suited and fruitful for designing effective policy responses to fisheries management, particularly with respect to the straddling stocks problem. Indeed, one seminal fisheries …

Improving Bankruptcy Sales By Raising The Bar: Imposing A Preliminary Injunction Standard On Objections To Section 363 Sales, Matthew Adam Bruckner Oct 2012

Improving Bankruptcy Sales By Raising The Bar: Imposing A Preliminary Injunction Standard On Objections To Section 363 Sales, Matthew Adam Bruckner

Matthew Adam Bruckner

In response to objections causing wasteful, unnecessary, and inappropriate delay in the bankruptcy sale context, this article concludes that bankruptcy courts should employ a preliminary injunction standard for evaluating objections to bankruptcy sales. Employing a strict, clear and uniform standard would decrease the likelihood that strategic objectors will succeed in delaying bankruptcy sales, but should not bias creditors with “legitimate” objections. By preventing inappropriate delay, courts will ensure that creditors receive an appropriate amount of procedural protection for their legitimate claims, while at the same time preventing parties-in-interest from engaging in rent-seeking behavior by making strategic objections to bankruptcy sales.

The Uncertainty Of “True Sale” Analysis In Originator Bankruptcy, Stephen P. Hoffman Jan 2012

The Uncertainty Of “True Sale” Analysis In Originator Bankruptcy, Stephen P. Hoffman

Stephen P. Hoffman

While much of law is complex or unclear, it is unusual for a judge to comment that a legal doctrine is so unsettled that courts “could flip a coin” to decide an issue. Unfortunately for practitioners, determining what constitutes a “true sale” for bankruptcy purposes is such an issue. Add to this the recent novel and innovative processes of structured finance and asset-backed securitization, and you have the stuff of law students’—and corporate counsels’—nightmares. As a result, courts and legislatures need to provide clarity in this area so that originators can safely structure investments and transactions, not only for the …


Bridge Banks: Detox Tools For A Melted Economy, Gabriela Steier Jan 2012

Bridge Banks: Detox Tools For A Melted Economy, Gabriela Steier

Gabriela Steier

This paper compares the fragmented three-pillar banking system in Germany to the banking system in the U.S. and suggests an amendment to 12 U.S.C.A. § 1821(n), the bridge bank statute, to make some fragmentation of the financial sector in the U.S. possible. This paper is the first of its kind and explains why the German bad bank prototype works within the fragmented three-pillars of banking. The three pillars of banking in Germany are (1) Savings Banks (Sparkassen), (2) Private Commercial Banks (Kreditbanken, Genossenschaftsbanken), and (3) Public and Cooperative Credit Institutions (Volks- and Raiffeisenbanken). The resulting fragmented banking system is more …
