Economic Rents And Essential Facilities, Keith N. Hylton

Interest Group Politics And Judicial Behavior: Macey's Public Choice, Jack M. Beermann
Interest Group Politics And Judicial Behavior: Macey's Public Choice, Jack M. Beermann
Faculty Scholarship
The economic theory of government has lately gained the acceptance in legal circles that it has long enjoyed in political science and economics. The economic theory, also known as "public choice," analyzes and explains government action and private political activity according to the basic assumption of economics, that individuals respond to economic incentives in their environments in a self-interested manner. The economic theory is thus useful descriptively, to explain diverse political phenomena, and prescriptively, to help formulate reform strategy.
The Law And Economics Of Organ Procurement, Keith N. Hylton
The Law And Economics Of Organ Procurement, Keith N. Hylton
Faculty Scholarship
This paper presents an economic analysis of the organ procurement system in the U.S. and examines proposals to alleviate the shortage of transplantable organs. The paper's principal conclusions are: (1) Although non-market solutions deserve the highest priority, demand increases fueled by improvements in transplant technology will probably make some market-based solution necessary in the future. (2) Quality deterioration and coercion will not necessarily be worrisome problems under a market-based procurement system.
What Can Be Done About Stock Market Volatility, Tamar Frankel
What Can Be Done About Stock Market Volatility, Tamar Frankel
Faculty Scholarship
Volatility is as old as the financial markets. The bull market of 1986 and the crash that followed in 1987 were but the latest of periodic market gyrations that started with the South Sea Bubble and the Lombard Street run on commercial paper and have continued ever since.' Volatility in the financial markets would not be very important if market activity simply mirrored economic activity. Volatility would be much less important if the markets moved independently of the economy. But if we believe, as I do, that the markets and the economy are interdependent, and that their volatility is generally …

Letter To Bruce Ackerman, Wendy J. Gordon
Letter To Bruce Ackerman, Wendy J. Gordon
Scholarship Chronologically
I shall be heading back to Rutgers for classes shortly, and I'm sending you a draft of the "Copyright and Copy-privilege" piece in the hope of receiving some additional comments before I enter into the final "polishing" stages later this month. As you know from my last note, the suggestions you made have proved extremely useful -- the title is the least of it. Among other things, your suggestions for reorganization led, indirectly, to a way of unifying the piece on copyright and contract with another piece I've been working on, regarding copyright and tort. I'm very pleased with the …
Negligence, Causation And Information, Stephen G. Marks
Negligence, Causation And Information, Stephen G. Marks
Faculty Scholarship
This note suggests a model to unify, in a simple information-based framework, the notion of negligence and the various notions of causation. In effect, the model demonstrates that negligence, probabilistic cause and cause-in-fact represent an identical concept applied to different information sets. This note uses the unified framework to develop a simple algorithm for the practical application of the principles of causation in the law of negligence.
An Economic Analysis Of Royalty Terms In Patent Licenses, Michael J. Meurer
An Economic Analysis Of Royalty Terms In Patent Licenses, Michael J. Meurer
Faculty Scholarship
Efficient exploitation of a patent often requires patentees to license users of their inventions. The courts, on the other hand, have proscribed many forms of license agreements and discouraged patent licensing in general, thereby diminishing the efficacy of the patent system as a stimulus to R & D. This negative attitude is attributable to fears that licensing will be used to protect invalid patents and secure illegitimate extensions of monopoly power. Part I of this Note reviews judicial treatment of certain royalty terms in patent licenses, describing the restraints the courts have imposed on the freedom of patentees to license …
Bargaining In The Shadow Of The Law: A Testable Model Of Strategic Behavior, Robert Cooter, Stephen G. Marks, Robert Mnookin
Bargaining In The Shadow Of The Law: A Testable Model Of Strategic Behavior, Robert Cooter, Stephen G. Marks, Robert Mnookin
Faculty Scholarship
Part I describes the framework of the model. Part II discusses the domination of psychological effects by tangible variables, which is the basis for comparative statics. Part III explains the table of predictions, and Part IV applies the predictions to externalities and rules for real-locating payoffs from trial. There is little mathematics in the text. The mathematical reader can refer to the Appendix for a brief presentation of our model, or to a companion paper on file with this Journal which develops the mathematics at length.
An Inadequate Basis For Health, Safety, And Environmental Regulatory Decisionmaking, Michael S. Baram
An Inadequate Basis For Health, Safety, And Environmental Regulatory Decisionmaking, Michael S. Baram
Faculty Scholarship
The use of cost-benefit analysis in agency decisionmaking has been hailed as the cure for numerous dissatisfactions with governmental regulation. Using this form of economic analysis arguably promotes rational decisionmaking and prevents health, safety, and environmental regulations from having inflationary and other adverse economic impacts. Closer analysis, however, reveals that the cost-benefit approach to regulatory decisionmaking suffers from major methodological limitations and institutional abuses. In practice, regulatory uses of cost-benefit analysis stifle and obstruct the achievement of legislated health, safety, and environmental goals.
This Article critically reviews the methodological limitations of cost-benefit analysis, current agency uses of cost-benefit analysis under …
