Por Un Nuevo Régimen De Bienes En El Matrimonio, Enrique Barros Bourie Oct 1991

Por Un Nuevo Régimen De Bienes En El Matrimonio, Enrique Barros Bourie

Enrique Barros Bourie

No subject in the Civil Code has been the objective of so many successive reforms since its enactment in 1855 as the marital partnership, which constitutes the basic economic order of the family. This study shows that those successive reforms have caused practical irremediable inconsistencies by intending, on the one hand, to expand the participation and capacity of women and, on the other, conserving the principle of an association of assets administrated by the husband. On the basis of that diagnosis, a proposal is made to establish a new legal marital property regimen: the share in joint property. It is …

The Private Attorney General Meets Public Contract Law: Procurement Oversight By Protest, Robert Marshall, Michael J. Meurer, Jean-Francois Richard

Faculty Scholarship

It is argued that protests are an effective means of deterring and correcting agency problems among procurement personnel and, consequently, accomplishing the procurement objectives of the government. Drawbacks of the protest process are identified, explanations are offered for the existence of these negative side effects, and solutions are proposed. In addition, protests are compared to centralized …

Mindlessness And The Law, Paul J. Heald, James E. Heald Sep 1991

Mindlessness And The Law, Paul J. Heald, James E. Heald

Scholarly Works

No less an authority than Milton Friedman has argued that improving the realism of assumptions in economic theory, although hardly essential to establishing the absolute validity of the theory (purely an empirical question), may offer several benefits. First, a “restructuring” (to use Posner's term) of an assumption may help explain divergences between predicted and observed results. Second, an explanation of why a seemingly unrealistic assumption does not destroy the predictive value of a theory may strengthen the theory by connecting it to “a more general theory that applies to a wider variety of phenomena . . . and has failed …

The Regulation Of Green Advertising: The State, The Market And The Environmental Good, David S. Cohen Jan 1991

The Regulation Of Green Advertising: The State, The Market And The Environmental Good, David S. Cohen

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

In this paper I explore this most recent development in regulatory policy and, in particular, the role government plays when it chooses to use private markets (consumer, institutional and corporate) as regulatory instruments to produce and allocate environmental benefits. The privatization of environmental regulation by employing markets to deliver environmental benefits does not involve the implementation of public policy through executive or legislative action. Rather, it is achieved through a public choice to privatize the delivery of environmental regulation by permitting or encouraging decentralized economic power to respond to consumer demands for environmental quality.
