Maximiliano Marzetti

La presentación del Dr. Maximiliano Marzetti refiere a un proyecto de la Asociación Latinoamericana y del Caribe de Derecho y Economía (ALACDE) para impulsar una nueva generación de codificación civil y comercial para Latino América y el Caribe desde un enfoque integrado del análisis económico del Derecho para hacer que el derecho funcione mejor y sea más eficiente. Se trata de innovar tanto en el fondo (law and economics) como en la forma (plain legal language). La redacción en lenguaje jurídico claro ayuda a disminuir los "costos de transacción" de los lectores.

Una Comparazione Tra Le Reti Di Amministratori Nelle Principali Societa Quotate In Italia, Francia E Gran Bretagna, Paolo Santella, Carlo Drago, Andrea Polo, Enrico Gagliardi

Carlo Drago

The purpose of the present paper is to contribute to the empirical literature on country interlocks by illustrating and analysing the interlocking directorships in the first 40 Italian, French and British Blue Chips as of December 2007 (Italy)/March 2008 (France and uk). The theoretical literature identify two possible explanations for interlocking directorships, on the one hand the collusion among players in the same market or in general among enterprises that have business relations among themselves; on the other hand the interest for enterprises to have on their boards bankers, suppliers, and clients so as to reduce information asymmetries. Our findings …

Responsabilidad Patrimonial Del Estado. Interpretación De La Scjn Del Artículo 113 Constitucional, Ana E. Fierro Ferraez, Adriana García García

Ana E. Fierro Ferraez

Since the creation of the Federal Commission of Economic Competition,the free trade right, established in article 28 of the Mexican Constitution has become a constitutional right. It´s defense corresponds to the Federal Judiciary that has become a big challenge, how to guarantee the conditions of a free market so Mexicans can exercise their right to free trade? The present document, through the analysis of the relevant resolutions of the Court about free trade in the last 10 years, as well as the main precedents, seeks to be a guide of the new issues on free trade in Mexico and of …

Behavioral Public Finance, Edward J. Mccaffery Jul 2008

Behavioral Public Finance, Edward J. Mccaffery

Edward J McCaffery

These are slides from a presentation to the Gruter Institute for Law and Behavioral Research, Squaw Valley Conference, May, 2008 (at which event Michael Jensen got me to agree to post these slides as a pdf on SSRN . . . ). The task is to give an overview of what I hope to be an emerging field of behavioral public finance. Behavioral finance, as per Barberis and Thaler 2003 (and others), consists of two parts: (1) individual level heuristics and biases, which can lead to sub-optimal (inconsistent) judgment and decision-making, and (2) institutional arbitrage mechanisms. In private finance and …


Comments On Liebman And Zeckhauser, Simple Humans, Complex Insurance, Subtle Subsidies, Edward J. Mccaffery Jul 2008

Comments On Liebman And Zeckhauser, Simple Humans, Complex Insurance, Subtle Subsidies, Edward J. Mccaffery

Edward J McCaffery

These are brief comments on an excellent paper by Jeffrey Liebman and Richard Zeckhauser, prepared for a conference sponsored by the Urban Institute and Brookings on tax and health care policy. Liebman and Zeckhauser summarize the complexities involved in making optimal health insurance decisions, and offer generally cautionary notes about conflating these with tax law (a theme of the conference). Most importantly, Liebman and Zeckhauser suggest a positive role for employers in health care and insurance decisions, as better setters or framers of choice sets—witness 401(k) plans. In this Commentary, I applaud Leibman and Zeckhauser’s general work and particular observation, …

A Dinâmica Dos Novos Atores Nas Negociações Do Acordo Entre Mercosul E Ce, Daniela Menengoti Ribeiro Jul 2008

A Dinâmica Dos Novos Atores Nas Negociações Do Acordo Entre Mercosul E Ce, Daniela Menengoti Ribeiro

Daniela Menengoti Ribeiro

The present article considers a look on the diversity of actors in the formation of the integration blocks, with special prominence for the conjuncture of the agreement between Mercosul and European Community, being based on the conception antiformalist of the international law. Beyond the traditional actors other different groups and structuralized associations around of the local, national or international challenges, mark the ideas politics of the formations of the regional blocks, as well as of the agreements between blocks. This phenomenon of identification of the new actors politicians would be unquestionable if the traditional methodology of the jurists and the …

Acerca De La Responsabilidad Social Y El Desarrollo Económico Del País: Ignorantia Legis Excusat, Ignorantia Facti Non Excusat, Gastón Fernández Cruz, Renzo E. Saavedra Velazco

Renzo E. Saavedra Velazco

La presente nota tiene como propósito exponer los defectos en la transmisión de información por parte de la clase política peruana respecto de los procesos de "concesión" y/o "privatización". Tales defectos han generado una errónea percepción por parte de la sociedad que ha devenido en movimientos contrarios a tales procesos.


A Positive Theory Of Eminent Domain, Eric Kades Mar 2008

A Positive Theory Of Eminent Domain, Eric Kades

Eric A. Kades

By examining a novel data set of land acquisitions and condemnations for roads by all 50 states, this article attempts to formulate a positive theory of states’ invocation of their eminent domain power. Litigation models based on irrationality and asymmetric information suggest that geography, demography, and legal rules may influence the frequency with which state officials resort to condemnation. To a significant degree, the data support these models, as water area and hilliness (geography), population density (demography), and legal rules (fee-shifting statutes) explain a significant portion of the state-state variation in condemnation rates. A number of other theoretically relevant explanatory …

The “Institutional Turn” In Jurisprudence: Critique And Reconstruction., Andres Palacios Lleras Jan 2008

The “Institutional Turn” In Jurisprudence: Critique And Reconstruction., Andres Palacios Lleras

Andrés Palacios Lleras

This paper engages in a inquiry into the roles that courts play within the legal system, given that judges are interdependent interpreters of legal rules that are boundedly rational and, arguably, politically biased. Contemporary authors claim that, although these two conditions play an important role in interpretation, contemporary theories in jurisprudence have not addressed them properly. Their assessments raise legal issues that are very significant; given the fact that judges are boundedly rational and tend to display political biases, how should they interpret legal rules? Is it best for them to interpret these rules in a formalist fashion, without resorting …


The Indeterminate Side Of Constitutions As Precommitment Strategies, Andres Palacios Lleras Jan 2008

The Indeterminate Side Of Constitutions As Precommitment Strategies, Andres Palacios Lleras

Andrés Palacios Lleras

This paper engages in a time-honored inquiry in American jurisprudence, an inquiry which continues to be invigorated by contemporary studies in Constitutional Law. It is an inquiry into the determinacy of the American Constitution as a legal text, taking into account that it was drafted and approved more than two hundred years ago with the purpose, arguably, to organize present and future political decision-making. Some contemporary authors claim that the discussion about the role of the Constitution is muddled, and that to acknowledge its authority does not necessarily entail a theory of constitutional interpretation. Furthermore, other authors have claimed that …
