Economic Theory And Environmental Law, Mark Sagoff

Michigan Law Review

In Part I of this essay, I argue that environmental legislation, at least during the past twenty years, fails to make economic "common sense," that is, it fails to maximize the satisfaction of consumer demand over the long run. Laws like the Endangered Species Act flout this conception of economic efficiency.

Part II discusses the related concepts of market power and competition and concludes that dissipation of market power is preferable, but that the regulation of market power may yield significant social and economic benefits in the short run, …

Tax-Based Incomes Policy (Tip) As A Alternative To Wage And Price Controls, Steven R. Hunsicker

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

Part I of this article will evaluate the major arguments opposing such policies against the background of the recent American experience with wage and price controls.
