Magna Carta And The Ius Commune, Richard H. Helmholz Mar 1999

Magna Carta And The Ius Commune, Richard H. Helmholz

University of Chicago Law Review

The English Magna Carta (1215) has long stood as a symbol of human liberty and the rule of law. This Article investigates its intellectual origins, suggesting the existence of possible influence on the Charter by the contemporary ius commune, the amalgam of Roman and canon laws that had emerged in consequence of the revival of legal studies on the Continent in the twelfth century. Comparing the substance of over half of the chapters with the contemporary ius commune, the Article demonstrates that many similarities existed. Accepting the possibility of use of Continental sources in drafting the Charter helps explain otherwise …

Environmental Violations, Legal Penalties, And Reputation Costs, John Lott, Jonathan M. Karpoff, Graeme Rankine Mar 1999

Environmental Violations, Legal Penalties, And Reputation Costs, John Lott, Jonathan M. Karpoff, Graeme Rankine

Coase-Sandor Institute for Law & Economics Research Paper Series

This paper examines the sizes and determinants of fines, damage awards, remediation costs, and market value losses imposed on companies that violate environmental laws. We find that legal penalties are not significantly related to firm size, indicating no support for views that large companies face unusually small legal penalties. In fact, we can explain very little of the cross-sectional variation in legal penalties, lending support to arguments that such penalties are highly variable and unpredictable. On average, firms violating environmental laws suffer statistically significant losses in the market value of firm equity. The losses are of similar magnitude to the …

Shared Information Goods, Yannis Bakos, Erik Brynjolfsson, Douglas Gary Lichtman Feb 1999

Shared Information Goods, Yannis Bakos, Erik Brynjolfsson, Douglas Gary Lichtman

Coase-Sandor Institute for Law & Economics Research Paper Series

Once purchased, information goods are often shared among groups of consumers. Computer software, for example, can be duplicated and passed from one user to the next. Journal articles can be copied. Music can be dubbed. In this paper, we ask whether these various forms of sharing undermine seller profit. We compare profitability under the assumption that information goods are used only by their direct purchasers, with profitability under the more realistic assumption that information goods are sometimes shared within small social communities. We reach several surprising conclusions. We find, for example, that under certain circumstances sharing will markedly increase profit …
