Breaking Up Mergers After The Fact: Opportunities And Problems, Stanley M. Besen, Philip L. Verveer Jul 2023

Breaking Up Mergers After The Fact: Opportunities And Problems, Stanley M. Besen, Philip L. Verveer

UC Law Business Journal

Antitrust authorities in both the United States and Europe have recently shown an increased interest in reviewing past mergers with the objective of possibly requiring mergers to be undone if they turned out to be anticompetitive. In this Article, we reach five main conclusions. First, analyzing the effects of past mergers is unlikely to be straightforward because it will be difficult to disentangle the competitive effects of a merger from other factors in the markets served by the merged firms. Second, even divestitures that were required before mergers had been consummated were complicated to bring about and there is evidence …

UC Law Business Journal

Between the Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, nearly 1 billion people around the world use personal assistant devices daily.

The Security-Shaped Hole In Global Anti-Corruption: Closing The Loop On The Fcpa, Tarun Krishnakumar Jan 2023

The Security-Shaped Hole In Global Anti-Corruption: Closing The Loop On The Fcpa, Tarun Krishnakumar

UC Law Business Journal

Despite the significant interplays between national security and corruption, discourse around the national security dimensions of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) – the most prominent global anticorruption framework – has been limited. With the deepening of global economic dependencies and data flows in critical areas such as telecommunications and ICT, there is ample reason to suggest that the use of private sector entities by governments for national security (e.g., intelligence-gathering) purposes is only likely to become more common. Recent controversies around the activities of Crypto AG and Huawei only serve to support this trend.

Within this broad context, this …


Don’T Let The Green Grass Fool You: Green Contingent Convertible Bonds And Their Role In The Pursuit Of A Sustainable Economy, Eyolf Aaro Jan 2023

Don’T Let The Green Grass Fool You: Green Contingent Convertible Bonds And Their Role In The Pursuit Of A Sustainable Economy, Eyolf Aaro

UC Law Business Journal

This paper exposes some prominent issues that arise when banks label their contingent convertible bonds (CoCos) as “green,” and proposes a mechanism to improve green CoCos as climate change mitigation instruments. The green label is weakly protected due to regulatory requirements for capital instruments issued by banks. Current and proposed green bond frameworks, when applied to standard green bonds are insufficient in ensuring real environmental impacts from the bonds, are not prepared for the novelty of labeling CoCos as green. The result is a financial instrument through which issuing banks unsuccessfully try to achieve both regulatory and environmental aims. The …
