International Delegations, The Structural Constitution, And Non-Self-Execution, Curtis A. Bradley Jan 2003

International Delegations, The Structural Constitution, And Non-Self-Execution, Curtis A. Bradley

Articles

In this Article I consider the constitutional implications of U.S. delegations of authority to international institutions.1 Since World War II, there has been a vast growth in the number and importance of international institutions. Although some of these institutions are merely forums for discussion and negotiation, many of them exercise judicial, legislative, regulatory, investigative, or prosecutorial authority. Despite its isolationist reputation, and despite recently announcing that it would not become a party to the International Criminal Court, the United States has committed itself to many of these institutions. By virtue of these commitments, the United States has consented to …


Death, Taxes, And Cognition, Lee Anne Fennell Jan 2003

Death, Taxes, And Cognition, Lee Anne Fennell

Articles

The psychology of the estate tax is extraordinarily interesting and surprisingly underexplored. In this Article, Professor Fennell considers the ways in which behavioral law and economics might augment and revise existing understandings of the tax and of redistributive policy generally. The Article is structured around two puzzles that have been frequently identified in the estate tax literature: first, why popular opposition to the tax is so great, even among those who have no reason to expect estate tax liability; and second, why those whose estates are likely to be subject to the tax often do not take advantage of the …

Terrorism And Insurance Markets: A Role For The Government As Insurer?, Alan O. Sykes Jan 2003

Terrorism And Insurance Markets: A Role For The Government As Insurer?, Alan O. Sykes

Articles

Since September 11, 2001, insurance markets have been struggling to adjust to new information about the magnitude of risks posed by terrorism, and to the loss of tens of billions of dollars in reserves because of claims relating to the September 11 attacks. Insurance coverage for terror-related losses has become more expensive and for some risks difficult or impossible to obtain. As a result, various interest groups called for the federal government to provide coverage for terrorism losses, resulting in the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002. We question the wisdom of measures of this sort. They are likely to …

On The Psychology Of Punishment, Cass R. Sunstein Jan 2003

On The Psychology Of Punishment, Cass R. Sunstein

Articles

Are juries rational or irrational? In the context of punitive damage awards, jury decisions suffer from serious problems. Jurors are intuitive retributivists, in a way that produces departures from economic theories of punishment. Their decisions are rooted in outrage, which they cannot easily translate into dollar terms. The result is a degree of unpredictability and incoherence. An understanding of this point casts light on several problems with existing institutions and offers some clues about how those problems might be solved.
