The Rights Of Migrants: An Optimal Contract Framework, Adam B. Cox, Eric A. Posner Jan 2009

The Rights Of Migrants: An Optimal Contract Framework, Adam B. Cox, Eric A. Posner

Articles

Why do migrants enjoy some of the rights associated with citizenship? Existing accounts typically answer this question in terms of obligation-of a duty on the part of states to confer citizenship. Moreover, scholars tend to lump together the rights conventionally associated with citizenship when they answer this question. In contrast, this Article disaggregates the rights associated with citizenship, asks what both states and migrants want, and inquires into how the suite of rights associated with citizenship might advance those interests. States want to encourage migrants to enter their territory and to make country-specific investments, but states also have an interest …

Corporate Philanthropy And The Market For Altruism, M. Todd Henderson, Anup Malani Jan 2009

Corporate Philanthropy And The Market For Altruism, M. Todd Henderson, Anup Malani

Articles

Academics and businesspeople have long debated the merits of corporate philanthropy. It is our contention that this debate is too narrowly focused on the role of corporations. There is a robust market for philanthropic works--which we call the market for altruism--in which nonprofit organizations, the government, and for-profit corporations compete to do good works. In this Essay, we describe this market and the role corporations play in satisfying the demand for altruism. We conclude that corporations should only engage in philanthropy when they have a comparative advantage over nonprofits and the government. Moreover, the government must avoid discriminating--particularly when setting …


A Bargaining Power Theory Of Default Rules, Omri Ben-Shahar Jan 2009

A Bargaining Power Theory Of Default Rules, Omri Ben-Shahar

Articles

This Essay explores the merits of a new criterion for default rules in incomplete contracts: filling gaps with terms that are favorable to the party with the greater bargaining power. It argues that some of the more common gaps in contracts involve purely distributive issues, such as the contract price, for which it is impossible to choose a unique, joint-maximizing, "most efficient" term. Instead, the term that mimics the hypothetical bargain in these settings must be sensitive to the bargaining power of the parties-the term they would have chosen to divide the surplus in light of their relative bargaining strengths. …

Stipulated Damages, Super-Strict Liability, And Mitigation In Contract Law, Saul Levmore Jan 2009

Stipulated Damages, Super-Strict Liability, And Mitigation In Contract Law, Saul Levmore

Articles

The remedy of expectancy damages in contract law is conventionally described as strict liability for breach. Parties sometimes stipulate damages in advance, and may agree that the damages they stipulate shall be the exclusive remedy for breach. They may do so because of their conviction that they can, even in advance, assess damages with greater accuracy than courts, and they may be wary of litigation costs associated with the postbreach determination of expectancy damages. This Article advances two claims. First, that the familiar expectation remedy is correctly understood to involve elements of fault. There is litigation over the question of …

Depoliticizing Administrative Law, Thomas J. Miles, Cass R. Sunstein Jan 2009

Depoliticizing Administrative Law, Thomas J. Miles, Cass R. Sunstein

Articles

A large body of empirical evidence demonstrates that judicial review of agency action is highly politicized in the sense that Republican appointees are significantly more likely to invalidate liberal agency decisions than conservative ones, while Democratic appointees are significantly more likely to invalidate conservative agency decisions than liberal ones. These results hold for both (a) judicial review of agency interpretations of law and (b) judicial review of agency decisions for "arbitrariness" on questions of policy and fact. On the federal courts of appeals, the most highly politicized voting patterns are found on unified panels, that is, on panels consisting solely …

Crisis Governance In The Administrative State: 9/11 And The Financial Meltdown Of 2008, Eric A. Posner, Adrian Vermeule Jan 2009

Crisis Governance In The Administrative State: 9/11 And The Financial Meltdown Of 2008, Eric A. Posner, Adrian Vermeule

Articles

This Article compares crisis governance and emergency lawmaking after 9/11 and the financial meltdown of 2008. We argue that the two episodes were broadly similar in outline, but importantly different in detail, and we attempt to explain both the similarities and differences. First, broad political processes, rather than legal or constitutional constraints, operated in both episodes to create a similar pattern of crisis governance, in which Congress delegated large new powers to the executive. We argue that this pattern is best explained by reference to the account of lawmaking in the administrative state offered by Carl Schmitt, as opposed to …


Should Greenhouse Gas Permits Be Allocated On A Per Capita Basis?, Eric A. Posner, Cass R. Sunstein Jan 2009

Should Greenhouse Gas Permits Be Allocated On A Per Capita Basis?, Eric A. Posner, Cass R. Sunstein

Articles

Many people believe that the problem of climate change would be best handled by an international agreement that includes a system of "cap-andtrade. "Such a system would impose a global cap on greenhouse gas emissions and allocate tradable emissions permits. This proposal raises a crucial but insufficiently explored question: How should such permits be allocated? It is tempting to suggest that in principle, a cap-and-trade system should allocate permits on a per capita basis, with the idea that each person should begin with the same entitlement, regardless of place of birth. This idea, pressed by many analysts and by the …
