La Preconfiguración Del Contrato: Una Propuesta De Definición De Las Reglas Predeterminadas En El Derecho De Contratos, Daniel A. Monroy

Daniel A Monroy C

This paper aims to propose an alternative definition of those contract rules called as suppletive rules (reglas supletivas), abstracting the “suppletive” function from these rules which scholars commonly has awarded to them, and instead replace it with the “default” characteristic of the rule (predeterminación) as the feature that could defines these rules. This feature is knotted to the chance to repeal the default rule through precepts of autonomy in certain legal situations according to a "hierarchy of values", as well as the binding strength of the rule in cases of absence of such a repeal.

Análisis Económico-Conductual De La Regulación Antitabaco En Colombia: El Efecto Marco Y La Fuerza De Voluntad Limitada, Daniel Monroy

This paper explains some ideas about behavioral economics, such as the framing effect and the bounded willpower, and its possible implications for the law, especially in the context of tobacco control law in Colombia. The paper concludes that the current warnings on cigarette packages have the potential to reduce the tobacco consumption. However the effectiveness of these messages could be increased if the information is reframed; likewise, the paper shows that the legal ban of cigarette retail market, doesn’t weigh up the negative consequences of bounded willpower, which can lead paradoxically to encourage smoking.
