Rawls's Lexical Orderings Are Good Economics, Robert Cooter May 1989

Rawls's Lexical Orderings Are Good Economics, Robert Cooter

Robert Cooter

Basic liberty, according to Rawls's first principle of justice, is not to be sacrificed for other values such as wealth. And, according to his second principle of justice, the material well-being of the worst-off members of society is not to be sacrificed to benefit better-off members of society. These trade-offs would be unjust, according to Rawls, no matter how small the sacrifice or how large the offsetting benefit. A decision-maker conforming to Rawls's theory, who is unwilling to sacrifice some values in favor of others, has lexical preferences. Lexical preferences, however, are not encountered in studies of consumer demand for …

A Theory Of Loss Allocation For Consumer Payments, Robert D. Cooter, Edward L. Rubin Oct 1987

A Theory Of Loss Allocation For Consumer Payments, Robert D. Cooter, Edward L. Rubin

Robert Cooter

Current legislation allocating losses in the payment system embodies several different approaches. The payment system needs general rules to guide legislation and an analytic framework to develop those rules. Professors Cooter and Rubin use economic analysis to identify three general principles of economic efficiency: loss spreading, loss reduction, and loss imposition. Applying these principles, they develop general rules for allocating payment losses between consumers and financial institutions. The authors apply these rules to fraud, forgery, and error losses that can occur when a consumer uses a payment instrument. They conclude that when an invalid instrument is paid, the consumer should …

Justice At The Confluence Of Law And Economics, Robert D. Cooter May 1987

Justice At The Confluence Of Law And Economics, Robert D. Cooter

Robert Cooter

Law has long been combined with economic thought, but only recently has
law been combined with economic theory. This article explores the implications
of this development for theories of justice and interdisciplinary research.
Value in economics is usually measured by price (the market tradition) or
by satisfaction (the utilitarian tradition). The relationship of these concepts
to equity in law is explored. Also explored is the relationship between bargaining
theory and contractarian theories of justice. The article examines the
possibility that methods and concepts developed in the economic analysis
of law will prove useful to sociologists and social psychologists by contrasting …

The Cost Of Coase, Robert Cooter Dec 1981

The Cost Of Coase, Robert Cooter

Robert Cooter

The publication of "The Problem of Social Cost" in 1960 by Ronald Coase brought together two powerful intellectual currents, namely, the economic theory of externalities and the common-law tradition concerning torts and nuisance. The sea is fertile but rough where two ocean currents meet, and the same can be said of the disputes provoked by Coase. Coase developed his argument through a series of concrete examples, such as the rancher and the farmer, the railroad sparks and the corn crops, etc. He steadfastly refused to articulate the general truths underlying the examples; for example, the famous "Coase Theorem" is abstracted …
