The Data Market: A Proposal To Control Data About You, David Shaw, Daniel W. Engels
The Data Market: A Proposal To Control Data About You, David Shaw, Daniel W. Engels
SMU Data Science Review
The current legal and economic infrastructure facilitating data collection practices and data analysis has led to extreme over-collection of data and the overall loss of personal privacy. Data over-collection has led to a secondary market for consumer data that is invisible to the consumer and results in a person's data being distributed far beyond their knowledge or control. In this paper, we propose a Data Market framework and design for personal data management and privacy protection in which the individual controls and profits from the dissemination of their data. Our proposed Data Market uses a market-based approach utilizing blockchain distributed …

Spotify’S Direct Listing: Is It A Recipe For Gatekeeper Failure?, Brent J. Horton
SMU Law Review
On April 3, 2018, Spotify Technology S.A.—a music streaming company valued in excess of $20 billion—went public by direct listing on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).A direct listing is distinguishable from the more traditional initial public offering (IPO) in a number of ways, but the most important for purposes of this Article is that it foregoes the traditional underwriter.
First, this Article explains direct listings, why a company would choose to go public by direct listing, and the mechanics of a direct listing.
Second, this Article explains that a direct listing—with its reliance on a financial advisor to shepherd …

Presenting A Critical Perspective On “Economic Efficiency” In Law And Economics Courses, Gregory S. Crespi
Presenting A Critical Perspective On “Economic Efficiency” In Law And Economics Courses, Gregory S. Crespi
SMU Law Review
“Law and Economics” courses are sometimes criticized for inadequately explaining the normative criterion of “economic efficiency” and then applying this criterion throughout the course in a superficial and biased manner that pejoratively labels most governmental market interventions and wealth redistribution measures as inefficient. These criticisms have merit, and in this article I point out a number of conceptual problems, empirical difficulties, and normative shortcomings of the economic efficiency criterion that students need to understand in order to be able to effectively counter policy arguments that rest upon dubious efficiency assessments.
The eight specific shortcomings of the economic efficiency criterion that …

Will The Income-Based Repayment Program Enable Law Schools To Continue To Provide Harvard-Style Legal Education, Gregory S. Crespi
Will The Income-Based Repayment Program Enable Law Schools To Continue To Provide Harvard-Style Legal Education, Gregory S. Crespi
SMU Law Review
Legal education provided in the prevailing “Harvard-style” now costs students on average between $160,000 and $250,000 for their three years of study, the precise amount depending on the law school attended, the alternative employment opportunities foregone, and the amount of scholarship assistance provided. However, the median starting salary for full-time, entry-level legal positions has declined in recent years to only $60,000/year, and upwards of 45% of recent law graduates are now unable to obtain full-time legal employment within 9 months of their graduation, and this dismal employment situation is unlikely to significantly improve over the next few years. While the …
