Decentralizing Culture: The Effect Of Digital Networks On Copyright And Music Distribution, Benjamin Gibert
Decentralizing Culture: The Effect Of Digital Networks On Copyright And Music Distribution, Benjamin Gibert
Benjamin Gibert
The advance of technology profoundly impacts how people interact with culture as the proliferation of digital networks transforms the effects of copyright in modern societies. This paper argues that the oligopolistic conditions of content markets and the legal discourse of intellectual property law have historically enabled copyright holders to promote a limited conception of art and obscure the complexities of copyright theory. While conceptual ambiguity is inevitable in the construction of aesthetic legal categories, current practices impose too many restrictions. The practical choices made concerning copyright in cyberspace will determine the evolution of culture in increasingly networked societies. The music …
Barricading The Digital Frontier: Copyright, Technology And The War On Music Piracy, Benjamin Gibert
Barricading The Digital Frontier: Copyright, Technology And The War On Music Piracy, Benjamin Gibert
Benjamin Gibert
The Internet is changing the way vast numbers of people experience culture today. Providing tools to interact with, manipulate and freely redistribute content, technology is dissolving conventional divisions between creators and consumers of cultural artefacts. As new technological and legislative mechanisms are deployed to stop digital piracy, there is a need to reflect on the meaning of copyright, piracy and culture in the context of digital technologies. This paper discusses the relationship between copyright and cultural participation. It refers to the music industry in order to depict the changing patterns of consumption behavior precipitated by the rise of digital networks …

Hacia Un Marco Económico Del Impuesto A La Renta Empresarial, José Manuel Martin Coronado
Hacia Un Marco Económico Del Impuesto A La Renta Empresarial, José Manuel Martin Coronado
José-Manuel Martin Coronado
El ámbito económico del Impuesto a la Renta Empresarial, y de los gastos deducibles para su determinación, puede dividirse en dos espacios: i) Espacio microeconómico y ii) Espacio macroeconómico. En la actualidad, la práctica del derecho tributario se encuentra frecuentemente vinculada con la contabilidad empresarial, por lo que los estudios contables y/o de abogados se encargan de resolver problemas contables-tributarios en la esfera empresarial que se encuentra subsumida en la esfera microeconómica. Por el contrario, en la esfera macroeconómica, por ejemplo, la política fiscal o tributaria de un Estado, es rara vez analizada por la práctica jurídica o contable e …
Reducing The Impact Of Ethnic Tensions On Economic Growth – Economic Or Political Institutions?, Atin Basu Choudhary, Jim Bang, Michael Reksulak
Reducing The Impact Of Ethnic Tensions On Economic Growth – Economic Or Political Institutions?, Atin Basu Choudhary, Jim Bang, Michael Reksulak
Atin Basu Choudhary
We use a standard growth regression model and show that ethnic tensions reduce per capita growth rates. We also find evidence that “good” economic and political institutions improve per capita growth rates. More importantly, good economic institutions mitigate the effect of ethnic tensions on per capita growth while good political institutions do not. Consequently, it is foremost capitalist freedom that promotes peace and development.

A Logica De Acumulação Capitalista E O Racionamento Da Oferta De Crédito, Amilton Bispo Dos Reis
Amilton Bispo dos Reis
Este texto deriva da dissertação de mestrado do autor - Crédito para MPES: Análise da Experiência Brasileira Recente - e pretende analisar o atendimento à demanda de crédito das micro e pequenas empresas por parte do sistema bancário, enfatizando as peculiaridades do mercado brasileiro, com o objetivo de identificar em que medida esse caso particular se aproxima ou se afasta do padrão geral apresentado no resto do mundo. Parte-se dos conceitos expostos por Marx sobre o desenvolvimento do sistema de crédito, demonstrando a sua importância fundamental no processo de reprodução do capital. Posteriormente, a partir da constatação de que as …

Why Do Judges Read Statutes?, Alexander Volokh
Why Do Judges Read Statutes?, Alexander Volokh
Alexander Volokh
The standard view that "statutory interpretation matters" -- that different methods can "lead to" different results -- is hard to square with the standard rational-choice account of judicial decisionmaking. Indeed, under the standard model, it is not obvious why a judge should bother to even read the statute.
I show, within the rational-choice account, how the judge can benefit from reading the statute when the preferences of legislators are uncertain. Doing so shows the judge what policy the legislators agreed to in the past, which gives him clues as to legislators' preferences today. Moreover, different assumptions about how the legislature …

An Economic Assessment Of Patent Settlements In The Pharmaceutical Industry, Bret Dickey, Jonathan Orszag, Laura Tyson
An Economic Assessment Of Patent Settlements In The Pharmaceutical Industry, Bret Dickey, Jonathan Orszag, Laura Tyson
Bret Dickey
In recent years, patent settlements between branded and generic manufacturers involving “reverse payments” from branded manufacturers to generic manufacturers have received close antitrust scrutiny, driven by concerns that such settlements harm consumers by delaying the entry of lower-priced generic drugs. It appears that such settlements will be a focus of the Obama Administration’s antitrust enforcement policy. Yet there is a growing consensus among the courts that such settlements are anticompetitive only under narrow sets of circumstances. In this paper, we present an analytical framework for evaluating the competitive effects of patent settlements, including those involving reverse payments, and demonstrate that …
The Importance Of Bits For Foreign Direct Investment And Political Risk Insurance: Revisiting The Evidence, Lauge Skovgaard Poulsen
The Importance Of Bits For Foreign Direct Investment And Political Risk Insurance: Revisiting The Evidence, Lauge Skovgaard Poulsen
Lauge N. Skovgaard Poulsen
Bilateral investment treaties (BITs) are typically presented as vital risk-mitigating instruments providing foreign investors with “credible commitments” that their assets will not be expropriated, discriminated against, or otherwise maltreated post-establishment. Accordingly, developing countries wanting to attract foreign investment should become more attractive destinations for multinationals when signing the treaties. A great number of studies and surveys indicate, however, that the vast majority of multinationals do not appear to take BITs into account when determining where - and how much - to invest abroad. Apart from reviewing such evidence, this paper discusses the feedback from a series of interviews. Firstly, BIT-negotiators …
The Coasean Analysis Of Harmful Interactions: Some Conceptual Difficulties, Satish K. Jain
The Coasean Analysis Of Harmful Interactions: Some Conceptual Difficulties, Satish K. Jain
Satish K. Jain
This paper is concerned with two distinct issues flowing from Coase's analysis of harmful interactions and of how courts deal with them. The first issue relates to the domain of validity of the Coase Theorem. It is argued in the paper that if non-pecuniary considerations are brought into the analysis then it can no longer be claimed that the outcome will be efficient regardless of liability assignments. In other words, it is contended in the paper that the validity of the Coase Theorem is crucially dependent on neglect of non-pecuniary considerations from the analysis. From this it follows that if …

Fannie Mae And Freddie Mac: Creatures Of Regulatory Privilege, David J. Reiss
Fannie Mae And Freddie Mac: Creatures Of Regulatory Privilege, David J. Reiss
David J Reiss
This book chapter addresses the appropriate role of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the government-chartered, privately owned mortgage finance companies, in the United States housing finance sector. The federal government recently placed Fannie and Freddie in conservatorship. These two massive companies are profit-driven, but as government-sponsored enterprises they also have a government-mandated mission to provide liquidity and stability to the United States mortgage market and to achieve certain affordable housing goals. How the two companies should exit their conservatorship has implications that reach throughout the global financial markets and are of key importance to the future of American housing finance …

Robust Exclusion Through Loyalty Discounts, Einer Elhauge, Abraham L. Wickelgren
Robust Exclusion Through Loyalty Discounts, Einer Elhauge, Abraham L. Wickelgren
Abraham L. Wickelgren
We consider loyalty discounts whereby the seller promises to give buyers who commit to buy from it a lower price than the seller gives to uncommitted buyers. We show that an incumbent seller can use loyalty discounts to soften price competition between itself and a rival, which raises market prices to all buyers. Each individual buyer’s agreement to a loyalty discount externalizes most of the harm of that individual agreement onto all the other buyers. The resulting externality among buyers makes it possible for an incumbent to induce buyers to sign these contracts even if they reduce buyer and total …
What Does Kosovo Teach Us About Using Human Rights Law To Prosecute Corruption Offences?, Bryane Michael
What Does Kosovo Teach Us About Using Human Rights Law To Prosecute Corruption Offences?, Bryane Michael
Bryane Michael (bryane.michael@stcatz.ox.ac.uk)
If a patient must pay a bribe to obtain life-saving surgery, does the doctor’s solicitation of a bribe represent a violation of the victim’s human rights? This paper explores the ways in which anti-corruption practitioners can look to various provisions in human rights law in order to prevent or prosecute corruption-related offences. We use Kosovo as a case study because its constitution gives direct effect to the major international human rights conventions. We find -- using Kosovo as a case study -- that some types of corruption lead to separately prosecutable human rights offences. We also find that pre-existing violations …

What Do We Know About Corruption (And Anti-Corruption) In Customs?, Bryane Michael, Nigel Moore
Bryane Michael (bryane.michael@stcatz.ox.ac.uk)
What are the lessons from anti-corruption programmes in Customs agencies over the last 20 years? The data suggest that many of the usual activities -- like codes of conduct and posters do not work. Internal inspectorates, and particularly internal audit, has a large effect on reducing corruption. A review of the literature and best practice presented.
Do Customs Trade Facilitation Programmes Help Reduce Customs-Related Corruption?, Bryane Michael, Frank Ferguson, Alisher Karimov
Do Customs Trade Facilitation Programmes Help Reduce Customs-Related Corruption?, Bryane Michael, Frank Ferguson, Alisher Karimov
Bryane Michael (bryane.michael@stcatz.ox.ac.uk)
Customs-related corruption costs World Customs Organisation (WCO) members at least $2 billion in customs revenue each year. Using recent data only about bribe payers’ actual experiences in paying bribes, we show that trade facilitation would only help reduce corruption and improve efficiency – in a large number of customs agencies -- if the customs agency’s director undertakes a big-bang approach to reform. We also find support for the corruption clubs theory – that customs agencies in the process of reform are either moving toward OECD levels of integrity and efficiency; or they are sliding toward a “red zone” group of …
Foreign Under-Investment In Us Securities And The Role Of Relational Capital, Bryane Michael
Foreign Under-Investment In Us Securities And The Role Of Relational Capital, Bryane Michael
Bryane Michael (bryane.michael@stcatz.ox.ac.uk)
Over 70 academic papers attempt to explain why foreigners invest in US securities. All ignore the vital role of the US broker-dealer. Macroeconomic factors like a trade balance or corporate governance may guide foreign investors toward certain markets. But US broker-dealers provide information to foreign investors and execute the actual trades. We hypothesize that particular foreign investors under-invest in US securities because of a lack of relational capital with US broker-dealers. We find that broker-dealer marketing intensity in foreign markets partly explains foreigners’ decisions to invest in US securities. We also estimate “pent-up” demand for US securities in developing countries …
The Size And Structure Of Government, Bryane Michael, Maja Popov
The Size And Structure Of Government, Bryane Michael, Maja Popov
Bryane Michael (bryane.michael@stcatz.ox.ac.uk)
Does government size and structure adapt to changes in government’s organisational environment (particularly to uncertainty and complexity) as predicted by organisational theory? We find – using a range of statistical analyses – support for each of the major theories of organisation adaptation (the contingency-based view, resource-based view, and rational choice view). We find that both government size and structure change – holding other factors constant – for changes in the uncertainty and complexity of governments’ organisational environments. We find seven clusters of governments which adapt their organisational sizes differently in response to changes in the uncertainty and complexity of their …
