Second-Order Regulation Of Law Enforcement, John Rappaport Apr 2015

Second-Order Regulation Of Law Enforcement, John Rappaport

Public Law and Legal Theory Working Papers

This Article interrogates a critical, yet understudied, regulatory design choice the Supreme Court makes in each criminal case raising constitutional questions about law-enforcement conduct: not what the Constitution requires but how to implement its requ

Normativity For Naturalists, Brian Leiter Apr 2015

Normativity For Naturalists, Brian Leiter

Public Law and Legal Theory Working Papers

Normativity is thought to be a problem for naturalists because the explanatory modalities of the empirical sciences do not make any reference to deontic or normative properties related to reasons, as distinct from nomic or descriptive ones. Naturalistic e

Disgorgement Damages For Accidents, Robert D. Cooter, Ariel Porat Apr 2015

Disgorgement Damages For Accidents, Robert D. Cooter, Ariel Porat

Coase-Sandor Institute for Law & Economics Research Paper Series

Under the usual tort rules, damages for an accident equal the victim’s loss (compensation). This paper departs from current law by advocating damages equal to the injurer’s gain from untaken precaution divided by the probability of an accident (disgorg


Interest Deductions In A Multijurisdictional World, Mihir A. Desai, Dhammika Dharmapala Apr 2015

Interest Deductions In A Multijurisdictional World, Mihir A. Desai, Dhammika Dharmapala

Coase-Sandor Institute for Law & Economics Research Paper Series

This paper proposes and evaluates alternative methods for addressing the tax treatment of interest expenses in a multijurisdictional setting. The differential deductibility of debt entailed by various current tax law provisions leads to potential distortions in the patterns of asset ownership across MNCs and various proposed solutions have significant limitations. We suggest alternative regimes – a worldwide debt cap (WDC) and a net financing deduction (NFD) – to address the ownership distortions that we highlight along with other well-established problems of income-shifting through debt. These alternative regimes are extensions to a multinational setting of two general approaches to the neutral …

Punitive Police? Agency Costs, Law Enforcement, And Criminal Procedure, Richard H. Mcadams, Dhammika Dharmapala, Nuno Garoupa

Coase-Sandor Institute for Law & Economics Research Paper Series

Criminal law enforcement depends on the actions of public agents such as police officers, but there is no standard economic model of police as public agents. We seek to remedy this deficiency by offering an agency model of police behavior. We begin by exp

Judicial Independence And The Rationing Of Constitutional Remedies, Aziz Huq Mar 2015

Judicial Independence And The Rationing Of Constitutional Remedies, Aziz Huq

Public Law and Legal Theory Working Papers

This Article analyzes the doctrinal instruments federal courts use to allocate scarce adjudicative resources over competing demands for constitutional remedies. It advances two claims. The first is that a central, hitherto underappreciated, doctrinal instrument for rationing judicial resources is a demand that most constitutional claimants demonstrate that an official violated an exceptionally clear, unambiguous constitutional rule—that is, not only that the Constitution was violated, but that the violation evinced a demanding species of fault. This fault rule first emerged in constitutional tort jurisprudence. It has diffused to the suppression and postconviction review contexts. The Article’s second claim is that …
