Frontline Demonstration On Sesame In West Bengal, Ganesh Chandra, R L. Sagar

Ganesh Chandra

Sesame is one of the important oilseeds crop in India, which plays a major role in supplementing the income of small and marginal farmers of Sunderbans. One of the major constraints of traditional Sesame farming is low productivity of local varieties. To replace this anomaly, Krishi Vigyan Kendra of CIFRI has conducted frontline demonstration at adopted farmers’ field in four development blocks viz. Kakdwip, Namkhana, Patharpratima and Kulpi of Sunderbans, West Bengal. Cultivation of high yielding varieties of Sesame viz. Rama (Improved Selection-5) and Tilottma (B-67) shows percentage increase of 46.58 and 35.86 respectively over local check. The technology gap …

Simultaneous And Sequential Anticommons, Francesco Parisi, Norbert Schulz, Ben Depoorter

Ben Depoorter

This paper defines a framework for anticommons analysis based on the fragmentation of property rights. In differentiating between sequential and simultaneous cases of property fragmentation, we describe and assess the equilibria obtained under each scenario. Our model reveals how the private incentives of excluders do not capture the external effects of their decisions. Moreover, our model suggests that the result of underutilization of joint property increases monotonically in both (a) the extent of fragmentation; and (b) the foregone synergies and complementarities between the property fragments. Within this context, we can therefore explore important implications for possible institutional responses to a …

A Preliminary Analysis Of The Amendments To The Japanese Secured Transaction Law, Wei Zhang

Wei Zhang

The collapse of the Japanese asset price bubble in the 90's left a record amount of non-performing loans in the nation's financial system. To tackle this unprecedented crisis, both legal scholars and practitioners in Japan advocated for a series of amendments to its secured transaction law to facilitate the enforcement of mortgages by banks. In this paper, based on the state of the post-bubble real estate finance market, I discussed the major drawbacks of the existing Japanese secured transaction system as it was applied in the real estate arena. I commented on the proposed material amendments to the Japanese secured …

On The Effectiveness Of The Restrictions Governing Life In A Common Interest Community: A Comparative Study Between American And Japanese Law (Chinese Version), Wei Zhang

Wei Zhang

In this article, I made a comparative study on the laws regulating the restrictions established by developers or among property owners in common interest communities in the U.S. and Japan, as well as the cultural and social backgrounds against which they are created. It appears that similar rules exist in both countries to combat excessive restrictions on life in common interest communities, although the American law treats the ex ante restrictions somewhat differently from the ex post ones. Using a law and economics perspective, I argue that such disparate treatments make good sense given the feasibility of internalizing the effects …

The Police Power And The Takings Clause, Benjamin Barros

Benjamin Barros

One of the more enduring puzzles in constitutional law is the problem of regulatory takings, and it has become something of a ritual to begin articles on the issue by noting the widespread confusion that the doctrine has caused. This Article seeks to clarify the regulatory takings debate by examining the scope and nature of the police power and discussing its relationship with the Just Compensation Clause.

The recent increase in federal regulation notwithstanding, the regulatory takings doctrine is primarily the product of challenges to state police power regulations. But despite the centrality of the police power to the problem …

Vacant Building Receivership is a building code enforcement tool that dispossesses and forecloses on owners of vacant buildings who are unwilling or unable to bring their derelict properties into basic conformity with basic building codes.
