Universal Jurisdiction And U.S. Law, Curtis A. Bradley Jan 2001

Universal Jurisdiction And U.S. Law, Curtis A. Bradley

Articles

The conventional wisdom among international law scholars is that customary international law-that is, the law that results from the customary practices and beliefs of nations-places limitations on the authority of nations to apply their laws extraterritorially.1 Unless a nation's extraterritorial law falls within one of five categories 2 -territoriality, nationality, protective principle, passive personality, or universality-it is said, the nation violates international law rules governing "prescriptive jurisdiction."3 All but one of these categories require a nexus between the regulating nation and the conduct, offender, or victim. Under the territorial category, a nation may regulate conduct within its territory …

Cost-Benefit Analysis And Relative Position, Cass R. Sunstein, Robert H. Frank Jan 2001

Cost-Benefit Analysis And Relative Position, Cass R. Sunstein, Robert H. Frank

Articles

Current estimates of regulatory benefits are too low and possibly far too low. This is because the standard economic approach to measuring costs and benefits, which attempts to estimate people's willingness to pay for various regulatory benefits, ignores a central point about valuation, thus producing numbers that systematically understate those benefits. Conventional estimates tell us the amount of income an individual, acting in isolation, would be willing to sacrifice in return for, say, an increase in safety on the job. But while these estimates are based on the implicit assumption that economic well-being depends only on absolute income, considerable evidence …

Puzzling Stock Options And Compensation Norms, Saul Levmore Jan 2001

Puzzling Stock Options And Compensation Norms, Saul Levmore

Articles

Why do so many executives and other employees receive fixed stock options as part of their compensation packages? Even though there is an impressive literature on compensatory options, it raises more puzzles than it solves. Tax law, option theory, and agency theory all suggest that we might have expected to find quite different practices than we observe. In particular, there is a puzzle in the popularity of conventional fixed options when indexed options would seem to be relatively attractive. The solution or story offered here develops arguments about signaling; employees will not want to be seen as preferring cash over …
