Mental Budget: Inefficient Clauses Or Consumer Choices?, Enrico Baffi
Mental Budget: Inefficient Clauses Or Consumer Choices?, Enrico Baffi
enrico baffi
In this paper I aim to demonstrate that due the phenomenon of consumer mental accounting, it's not possible to consider money as fungible. Consumers decide to spend a certain amount of money for a kind of good and they are not willing to take some extra money from the jars that contain the money to spend for other goods. But consumers seem to have a sort of reserve which encompass efforts, time, and the possibility to bear risk that they use to save money and obtain a lower price for a good. To explain, a good can be delivered at …
Efficient Penalty Clauses With Debiasing: Lessons From Behavioral Law And Economics, Enrico Baffi
Efficient Penalty Clauses With Debiasing: Lessons From Behavioral Law And Economics, Enrico Baffi
enrico baffi
This paper builds upon the findings of cognitive psychology to revisit the prescriptive solutions proposed in the legal literature with respect to efficient penalty clauses. While refraining from generalizations regarding human behaviour, generalizations that might lead to positions quite removed from reality and in part ideological, as was the case with rational choice theory, the paper instead seeks to distinguish one situation from another in order to identify the existence of decision debiasing mechanisms capable of justifying - in the case of the set of rules in question - hypotheses in which lesser control over the penalty clause would be …
Mental Budget And Inefficient Clauses: A Lesson From Behavioral Law Nand Economics, Enrico Baffi
Mental Budget And Inefficient Clauses: A Lesson From Behavioral Law Nand Economics, Enrico Baffi
enrico baffi
This paper is an attempt to highlight how clauses, which are traditionally considered to be inefficient, may actually be desired by consumers. This anomaly originates in the fact that each individual builds a mental budget by dividing the money he has among the needs he intends to satisfy. According to consumers’ reasoning, money is not fungible, in the sense that amounts cannot be transferred from one expenditure to another. Consumers who behave in this way may sometimes find that they have depleted the amount they budgeted for an item while wanting to buy more of it. Since additional time, efforts …

Translation To Portuguese Of "The Construction Of Constitutional Rights", By Robert Alexy, Silvio Roberto Oliveira De Amorim Junior
Silvio Roberto Oliveira de Amorim Junior
It is a translation made as a conclusion work for the discipline “Direito Administrativo, Constitucionalismo e Cidadania”, offered in the Masters in Law´s Course at “Universidade Federal de Sergipe”, and presented by Ph. D. Henrique Ribeiro Cardoso. The translation is about an article written by jurisconsult and philosopher Robert Alexy, published in The Berkeley Electronic Press, in the year of 2010, by means of which comment the construction of constitutional rights and its characteristic eminently related to principles. The article alludes, as well, to the use of proportionality, with special approach to the Weight Formula and to the happening of …
A Call For Stricter Appellate Review Of Decisions On Forum Non Conveniens, Nicholas A. Fromherz
A Call For Stricter Appellate Review Of Decisions On Forum Non Conveniens, Nicholas A. Fromherz
Nicholas A Fromherz
Forum non conveniens has been criticized as anachronistic and unfair. Critics say that it amounts to little more than economic protectionism, serving as a pretext for the dismissal of suits brought against domestic corporate defendants. Even if one does not view the doctrine as inherently flawed, it is undeniable that its application has been extremely uneven owing to the broad discretion exercised by district courts ruling on the issue. Troubling in any circumstances, the misapplication of forum non conveniens is all the more so because of the high stakes pertaining to the matter. When a case is dismissed on forum …
Polar Law And Good Governance, Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
Polar Law And Good Governance, Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
This chapter will assess the Antarctic Treaty System, ask what polar lessons can be learned regarding common pool resources, and analyze law of the sea and related measures. It will consider such substantive areas as Arctic and Antarctic natural resource management and procedural opportunities as inclusive governance structures. Enhancing good governance can occur through trust building forums that bring together stakeholders, share information, and make environmentally sound decisions regarding sustainable development.
