Consumer Protection In An Era Of Globalization, Cary Coglianese, Adam M. Finkel, David T. Zaring
Consumer Protection In An Era Of Globalization, Cary Coglianese, Adam M. Finkel, David T. Zaring
All Faculty Scholarship
With expanding global trade, the challenge of protecting consumers from unsafe food, pharmaceuticals, and consumer products has grown increasingly salient, necessitating the development of new policy ideas and analysis. This chapter introduces the book, Import Safety: Regulatory Governance in the Global Economy, a multidisciplinary project analyzing import safety problems and an array of innovative solutions to these problems. The challenge of protecting the public from unsafe imports arises from the sheer volume of global trade as well as the complexity of products being traded and the vast number of inputs each product contains. It is further compounded by the …

Talking The Talk, Or Walking The Walk? Outcome-Based Regulation Of Transnational Investment, Jerry Ellig, Houman B. Shadab
Talking The Talk, Or Walking The Walk? Outcome-Based Regulation Of Transnational Investment, Jerry Ellig, Houman B. Shadab
Articles & Chapters
Today, individual U.S. retail investors have virtually limitless opportunities to invest their money, with a notable exception: they cannot directly invest in securities of foreign issuers and still be protected under U.S. law. This missing opportunity deprives U.S. investors of the ability to fully diversify their investments and also imposes undue costs and risks upon investors seeking to invest directly overseas. This Article shows that a Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") policy of "mutual recognition" of foreign regulatory regimes that achieve investor protection outcomes comparable to those of the SEC would solve this problem. A foreign issuer or other entity …
Essay: Current And Future Challenges To Local Government Posed By The Housing And Credit Crisis,, Alan Weinstein
Essay: Current And Future Challenges To Local Government Posed By The Housing And Credit Crisis,, Alan Weinstein
Law Faculty Articles and Essays
The ongoing problems in the housing and credit markets, caused by a toxic combination of wholesale deregulation of financial markets by the federal government and imprudent lending and investment practices by financial institutions, pose significant challenges to local and state government officials. Some of these challenges are obvious. How will cities cope with an unprecedented number of foreclosures at the same time that state and local tax revenues are decreasing? When will access to credit ease in a municipal bond market that has constricted as a result of both general credit concerns and questions about the companies insuring those bonds? …
Accessing Insolvent Consumer Debtors, Challenges And Strategies For Empirical Research, Janis P. Sarra, Danielle Sarra
Accessing Insolvent Consumer Debtors, Challenges And Strategies For Empirical Research, Janis P. Sarra, Danielle Sarra
All Faculty Publications
Insolvency law policy is best informed by a comprehensive understanding of the policy objectives of particular measures and the practical outcomes of particular choices. Yet there continues to be a lack of empirical research in Canada in respect of consumer insolvency, its underlying causes and its outcomes. Debtors' or bankrupts' experience with the insolvency system is almost impossible to gauge with the data now collected. Research funding for legal, economic and sociological scholars in the insolvency area continues to be very limited. This paper examines current challenges and strategies for empirical research on consumer insolvency in Canada. It explores options …
The Case For Behaviorally Informed Regulation, Michael S. Barr, Sendhil Mullainathan, Eldar Shafir
The Case For Behaviorally Informed Regulation, Michael S. Barr, Sendhil Mullainathan, Eldar Shafir
Book Chapters
Policymakers approach human behavior largely through the perspective of the “rational agent” model, which relies on normative, a priori analyses of the making of rational decisions. This perspective is promoted in the social sciences and in professional schools, and has come to dominate much of the formulation and conduct of policy. An alternative view, developed mostly through empirical behavioral research, provides a substantially different perspective on individual behavior and its policy implications. Behavior, according to the empirical perspective, is the outcome of perceptions, impulses, and other processes that characterize the impressive machinery that we carry behind the eyes and between …

The Great Bailout Of 2008-09, Frederick Tung
Faculty Scholarship
My task today is to talk about the financial crisis. I only have a short time to talk, so rather than try to give you a comprehensive analysis of events, I'm going to offer some of my own idiosyncratic takes on what has been happening. In addition, I will introduce my own small reform proposal for regulating bank risk taking. So, I'll give you a little bit of news, a little bit of weather, a little bit of everything.
Where are we now? Let us begin with a statement Henry Paulson made six months ago while Bear Steams was getting …
Warranties In The Box, James J. White
Warranties In The Box, James J. White
Articles
Thousands of times each day, a buyer opens a box that contains a new computer or other electronic device. There he finds written material including an express "Limited Warranty." Sometimes the box has come by FedEx directly from the manufacturer; other times the buyer has carried it home from a retail merchant. Despite the fact that it is standard practice for the manufacturer to include a limited written express warranty on the sale of such products,' and despite the fact that both the manufacturer and the buyer believe that warranty to be legally enforceable, the law on its enforceability is …
Can Bundled Discounting Increase Consumer Prices Without Excluding Rivals?, Daniel A. Crane, Joshua D. Wright
Can Bundled Discounting Increase Consumer Prices Without Excluding Rivals?, Daniel A. Crane, Joshua D. Wright
Articles
Since we abhor suspense, we will quickly answer the question our title poses: No. As a general matter, bundled discounting schemes lower prices to consumers unless they are predatory—that is to say, unless they exclude rivals and thereby permit the bundled discounter to price free of competitive restraint. The corollary of this observation is that bundled discounting is generally pro-competitive and pro-consumer and should only be condemned when it is capable of excluding rivals. We pose and answer this question because it is at the heart of Section VI of Professor Elhauge’s provocative draft article which is the subject of …
