Solidarity In Consumption, Cass R. Sunstein, Edna Ullmann-Margalit
Solidarity In Consumption, Cass R. Sunstein, Edna Ullmann-Margalit
Coase-Sandor Institute for Law & Economics Research Paper Series
Contrary to a common picture of relationships in a market economy, people often express communal and membership-seeking impulses via consumption choices, purchasing goods and services because other people are doing so as well. Shared identities are maintained and created in this way. Solidarity goods are goods whose value increases as the number of people enjoying them increases. Exclusivity goods are goods whose value decreases as the number of people enjoying them increases. Distinctions can be drawn among diverse value functions, capturing diverse relationships between the value of goods and the value of shared or unshared consumption. Though markets spontaneously produce …
An Economic Analysis Of Anti-Tax Avoidance Laws, David A. Weisbach
An Economic Analysis Of Anti-Tax Avoidance Laws, David A. Weisbach
Coase-Sandor Institute for Law & Economics Research Paper Series
This article analyzes the effect of tax law doctrines designed to reduce tax shelters, such as the business purpose doctrine, and the economic substance doctrine. The article analyzes these doctrines as changes to the marginal elasticity of taxable income. As these doctrines are strengthened, the elasticity of taxable income goes down (in absolute value). By reducing the marginal elasticity of taxable income, the doctrines increase the efficiency of the tax system. Because the doctrines cannot perfectly identify tax avoidance, however, they induce a distortionary response by taxpayers, who may structure shelters to avoid the doctrines. This distortionary effect reduces their …
Culture And Government Money: A Guide For The Perplexed, Cass R. Sunstein
Culture And Government Money: A Guide For The Perplexed, Cass R. Sunstein
Public Law and Legal Theory Working Papers
Constitutional limits on government’s power to regulate the culture and the arts, newly salient in light of the controversy involving the Brooklyn Museum, are best understood by distinguishing among (a) content-neutral, (b) content-based, and (c) viewpoint-based restrictions, and also among (a) criminal and civil sanctions, (b) “penalties,” and (c) mere failure to fund. The resulting three-by-three matrix provides an understanding of the vast bulk of current constitutional law. At the same time, several serious puzzles are created by current law: the distinction between viewpoint discrimination and content discrimination can be thin in the context of art; it is hard to …
Property Rights In Emerging Platform Technologies, Douglas Gary Lichtman
Property Rights In Emerging Platform Technologies, Douglas Gary Lichtman
Coase-Sandor Institute for Law & Economics Research Paper Series
This paper considers an externality that affects a broad range of markets, specifically markets where one set of firms sells some platform technology like a computer, video game console, or operating system, while another possibly overlapping set of firms sells peripherals compatible with that platform, for example computer software or video game cartridges. The externality causes certain peripheral sellers to charge prices that are unprofitably high. That is, these firms could earn greater profits if only they could coordinate to charge lower prices. In many markets, such coordination is possible; firms can contract, for example, or integrate. In markets based …

Book Review (Reviewing Jeremy Waldron, Law And Disagreement (1999)), Richard A. Posner
Book Review (Reviewing Jeremy Waldron, Law And Disagreement (1999)), Richard A. Posner
Articles
In Law and Disagreement, Jeremy Waldron, born and educated in New Zealand and trained in England, mounts a powerful argument in favor of legislation as a legitimate source of authority and correspondingly denigrates the American faith in judicial review. Waldron claims among other things that a legislature's inability to achieve consensus enables legislation to resolve disputes in a way that preserves the dignity and self-respect of losers in the policy struggle. In this Book Review Essay, Judge Posner commends Waldron for his impressive criticisms of the theoretical basis for the American faith in judicial review. At the same time, he …

Creating And Enforcing Norms, With Special Reference To Sanctions, Eric B. Rasmusen, Richard A. Posner
Creating And Enforcing Norms, With Special Reference To Sanctions, Eric B. Rasmusen, Richard A. Posner
Coase-Sandor Institute for Law & Economics Research Paper Series
Two central puzzles about social norms are how they are enforced and how they are created or modified. The sanctions for the violation of a norm can be categorized as automatic, guilt, shame, informational, bilateral costly, and multilateral costly. The choice of sanction is related to problems in creating and modifying norms. We use our analysis of the creation, modification, and enforcement of norms to analyze the scope of feasible government action either to promote desirable norms or to repress undesirable ones. We conclude that the difficulty of predicting the effect of such action limits its feasible scope.

The Treaty Power And American Federalism, Part Ii, Curtis A. Bradley
The Treaty Power And American Federalism, Part Ii, Curtis A. Bradley
Articles
In an article published in this Review two years ago, I described and critiqued what I called the "nationalist view" of the treaty power. Under this view, the national government has the constitutional power to enter into treaties, and thereby create binding national law by virtue of the Supremacy Clause, without regard to either subject matter or federalism limitations. This view is reflected in the writings of a number of prominent foreign affairs law scholars, as well as in the American Law Institute's Restatement (Third) of Foreign Relations Law of the United States. In my article, I argued that this …
Ironing Out The Flat Tax, David A. Weisbach
Ironing Out The Flat Tax, David A. Weisbach
Articles
While the Flat Tax has attracted substantial attention, proponents of the tax have not given any details of its implementation. Without this detail, evaluation of the tax is difficult. Claims of simplicity may be false. The efficiency claims for the Flat Tax rely on its relative unavoidability and its cleanly stated economic incentives, but without details, these claims cannot be evaluated Moreover, the distribution of the tax burden will be affected by its implementation. This article attempts to fill in the gap by considering the design issues presented by the Flat Tax. A wide variety of issues are considered, including …
