Measures Of Welfare Effects In Multiproduct Industries: The Case Of Multispecies Individual Quota Fisheries, Niels Vestergaard Dec 1998

Measures Of Welfare Effects In Multiproduct Industries: The Case Of Multispecies Individual Quota Fisheries, Niels Vestergaard

Niels Vestergaard

A framework is developed to measure the welfare effects of individual quota reforms in multiproduct industries using the multimarket welfare measure techniques suggested by Just, Hueth, and Schmitz (1982) and the concept of virtual price in the production theory literature (Neary 1995; Squires and Kirkley 1996). Under joint in input production it shown that quasirent under a single quota can be measured by the producer surplus either in the output market for quota output or in the quota market. Under multiple quotas the welfare effects of quota policies can be measured in one of the quota markets using inverse derived …

Gender In The Construction Of The Lawyer’S Persona (Review Essay), Susan D. Carle Dec 1998

Gender In The Construction Of The Lawyer’S Persona (Review Essay), Susan D. Carle

Susan D. Carle

INTRODUCTION The overarching question motivating this Review Essay is whether- and, if so, in what ways-we should understand lawyering roles to be gendered. I examine this question by reviewing Kathryn Kish Sklar's recent biography of Florence Kelley, an early "public interest" lawyer and social activist whom Felix Frankfurter described as the woman who had "the largest single share in shaping the social history of the United States during the first thirty years of this century." Sklar's meticulous research provides us with new information about a dimension of Kelley's life that is overshadowed by Kelley's public persona as a social reformer …

Money, Politics And Judicial Decisions: A Case Study Of Arbitration Law In Alabama, Stephen Ware Dec 1998

Money, Politics And Judicial Decisions: A Case Study Of Arbitration Law In Alabama, Stephen Ware

Stephen Ware

This article presents the results of a study of 106 decisions by the Supreme Court of Alabama from January 18, 1995 through July 9, 1999. The decisions are in the area of arbitration law and reveal the remarkably close correlation between a justice's votes on arbitration cases and his or her primary source or campaign funds. Justices whose election campaigns are funded by plaintiffs' lawyers oppose arbitration, whereas justices whose campaigns are funded by business favor arbitration. The correlation holds not just with regard to ideologically-charged doctrines, like unconscionability, but also with seemingly bland questions of contract formation, interpretation and …

An Economic Analysis Of Transnational Bankruptcies, Andrew T. Guzman, Lucian Arye Bebchuk Dec 1998

An Economic Analysis Of Transnational Bankruptcies, Andrew T. Guzman, Lucian Arye Bebchuk

Andrew T Guzman

This paper analyzes the effects of the legal rules governing transnational bankruptcies. We compare a regime of “territoriality” – in which assets are adjudicated by the jurisdiction in which they are located at the time of the bankruptcy – with a regime of “universality” – in which all assets are adjudicated in a single jurisdiction. Territoriality is shown to generate a distortion in investment patterns that might lead to an inefficient allocation of capital across countries. We also analyze who gains and who loses from territoriality, explain why countries engage in it even though it reduces global welfare, and identify …
