Exclusion Or Efficient Pricing: The "Big Deal" Bundling Of Academic Journals, Aaron S. Edlin, Daniel L. Rubinfeld Sep 2004

Exclusion Or Efficient Pricing: The "Big Deal" Bundling Of Academic Journals, Aaron S. Edlin, Daniel L. Rubinfeld

Daniel L. Rubinfeld

Prices of academic journals have climbed enormously in the past two decades. This article explains the substantial barriers to entry that established journals enjoy. It points out that the Big Deal bundling that the large commercial publishers have adopted in the past few years creates a substantial additional strategic barrier to entry. We consider whether these bundling offers violate the antitrust laws and conclude that they may.


The Hidden Costs Of Private Benefits Of Control: Value Shift And Efficiency, Hyun-Chul Lee Aug 2004

The Hidden Costs Of Private Benefits Of Control: Value Shift And Efficiency, Hyun-Chul Lee

Hyun-Chul Lee

This paper relates the two regimes governing control transfer to the adverse impacts that private benefits of control have on IPOs. Merely the value-transfer nature of private benefits alone may stymie efficient IPOs because of the wedge between the discount for private benefits in pricing and what the initial owner will eventually capture. Irrelevance of the value-shift nature to the initial owner’s payoffs serves efficient IPOs. This paper shows separate mechanisms by which the two rules generate such wedge. The Market Rule allows increase in private benefits via control transfer, causing discount with maximum ceiling of private benefits. To offset …

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 …


Fairness Versus Efficiency In Environmental Law, Shi-Ling Hsu Jan 2004

Fairness Versus Efficiency In Environmental Law, Shi-Ling Hsu

Shi-Ling Hsu

Like many other areas of law, the development of environmental law has been strongly influenced by notions of fairness. This should not be surprising, since environmental law has been developed by lawyers, who are self-selected to be fairness-oriented and trained to think in terms of fairness. While large environmental gains have been achieved in the thirty-year history of environmental law, progress seems to have reached a plateau. Partisanship has poisoned the debate on how best to proceed in making further environmental progress. I attribute the failings and the current stalemate in environmental law to our obsession with fairness. Fairness-thinking has …


Small Liberal Arts Colleges, Fraternities, And Antitrust: Rethinking Hamilton College, Mark D. Bauer Jan 2004

Small Liberal Arts Colleges, Fraternities, And Antitrust: Rethinking Hamilton College, Mark D. Bauer

Mark D Bauer

Many colleges have abolished men's and women's fraternities, and many more plan to do so. Regardless of one's personal feelings towards fraternities, demands to shut down housing and cease dining operations raise important antitrust concerns. Because the fraternities offer competitive housing and food services, colleges are using their market power to eliminate business rivals.

Enrique Pasquel

Este trabajo discute la idea de que el mercado no pueda crear bienes públicos, especialmente información. Por ello, sostiene que las patentes, los derechos de autor y el subsidio estatal a la producción de información pueden no ser necesarios, además suponen costos altísimos para la sociedad.

The Expulsion Of The Jews From France In 1306: A Modern Fiscal Analysis, Stéphane Mechoulan Dec 2003

The Expulsion Of The Jews From France In 1306: A Modern Fiscal Analysis, Stéphane Mechoulan

Stéphane Mechoulan

In 1306, at the peak of a severe financial and monetary crisis, Philippe the Fair expelled the Jews from his kingdom, declared himself creditor of their debts, seized their property and auctioned it off. Was this a clever move, financially speaking? Did Philippe gain more, by killing the goose that laid the golden egg, than by securing a steady flow of taxes? Taking discounting into account, conservative bounds on the sum collected through the seizures over the years that followed the expulsion challenge the traditional view that it was a bad deal. Still, the windfall brought by the relative success …


Auctioning For Loyalty: Selection And Monitoring Of Class Counsel, Alex Stein, Alon Harel Dec 2003

Auctioning For Loyalty: Selection And Monitoring Of Class Counsel, Alex Stein, Alon Harel

Alex Stein

This Article takes a fresh look at the misalignment of interests between class attorneys and their clients. Specifically, it examines the class attorneys' opportunity for shirking and for striking collusive settlements with corporate defendants. Both case law and scholarly writings offer numerous solutions to this misalignment of interests; yet, those solutions suffer from serious flaws. Professors Harel and Stein examine the reasons for that failure and propose a new solution that overcomes the class action agency problem. They argue that the law should resolve this problem by choosing between two basic paradigms of class action lawyering: Attorney-as-Owner and Attorney-as-Servant (Ownership …
