The Genius Of Roman Law, From A Law And Economics Perspective, Juan Javier Del Granado
The Genius Of Roman Law, From A Law And Economics Perspective, Juan Javier Del Granado
Juan Javier del Granado
Law and economics aids us in understanding why Roman law is still worthy of admiration and emulation. The admirable character of Roman law is its quality as an (almost) paradigmatic private law system.

Roman private law also enables people who face resource, incentive, and information constraints to act more consistently in their own interest and, when efficient, to act in the interest of others, which is a key aspect of eliminating …

The brief argues that the U.S. government's bailout of Citigroup fails to violate Mexican law since the U.S. government's stake was the result of a rescue operation and, accordingly, amounts to a temporary holding. Under a 20-year-old Mexican law, foreign governments cannot own banks in the country. During the midst of the financial crisis, the U.S. government bought a 34% stake in Citigroup. The court's decision may impact other financial institutions doing business in Mexico, such as HSBC, which received help from the U.K. government.
Between Ancient Roman Law And Modern Law And Economics, Introducing The Legal System For 21st-Century Latin America And The Caribbean, Juan Javier Del Granado
Between Ancient Roman Law And Modern Law And Economics, Introducing The Legal System For 21st-Century Latin America And The Caribbean, Juan Javier Del Granado
Juan Javier del Granado
Within the civil-law world, law and economics is more likely to become dominant in Latin America than in Europe because the change-resisting hand of the old guard is less heavy and legal education has become increasingly competitive. The systematic and endemic weaknesses of large public universities in Latin America have opened the doors of academe to fast-growing competition from new private universities. Old-guard universities that are unable to mobilize resistance to new entrants, may be forced to retrench and retool in an effort to just survive. As a direct result of the region’s present state of underdevelopment, law schools in …

El Análisis Económico Del Razonamiento Jurídico, Juan Javier Del Granado
El Análisis Económico Del Razonamiento Jurídico, Juan Javier Del Granado
Juan Javier del Granado
Las legislaturas poseen legitimidad formal para sancionar leyes por haber sido sus miembros elegidos por el pueblo. Sin embargo, por todo el mundo jueces que no han sido elegidos mediante sufragio popular también crean derecho. ¿Que da, entonces, a los jueces legitimidad formal para crear derecho? Este articulo demuestra, a través de dos simples modelos de teoría de juegos, que la legitimidad positiva de los jueces deriva del poder del pueblo. La legitimidad del poder judicial tiene el mismo fundamento que la del poder legislativo. A partir de la Revolución Francesa, es el poder de la facción más poderosa, la …
