Derecho Y Economía En El Mundo Del Derecho Continental: El Papel De Las Cortes Brasileñas, Bruno Meyerhof Salama, Mariana Pargendler Dec 2014

Derecho Y Economía En El Mundo Del Derecho Continental: El Papel De Las Cortes Brasileñas, Bruno Meyerhof Salama, Mariana Pargendler

Benjamin L. Harwood

Una gran cantidad de literatura documenta el rechazo del análisis económico del derecho en el mundo del derecho continental, y ofrece una extensa lista de posibles razones para esta aparente incompatibilidad. Por lo menos en Brasil, sin embargo, la percepción de que existe un aislamiento entre la práctica del análisis económico y el derecho, es simplemente equivocada. Sin que muchos de los más educados observadores lo sepan, las cortes brasileñas son cada vez más receptivas de los argumentos económicos. Esto sugiere que aquellos que hablan de una resistencia a la aplicación del análisis económico del derecho en Brasil, simplemente han …

Bubbles (Or, Some Reflections On The Basic Laws Of Human Relations), Donald J. Kochan Dec 2014

Bubbles (Or, Some Reflections On The Basic Laws Of Human Relations), Donald J. Kochan

Donald J. Kochan

Very few of us want to live in the absolute isolation of a “bubble.” Most humans cherish the capacity to interact with their external environment even when we know that, at times, such exposure makes us susceptible to all sorts of negative effects ranging from mere annoyance to the contraction of deadly illnesses. Yet, because there are so many positive elements and benefits from that interaction and exposure, we often are willing to take the bitter with the sweet. We tolerate much external exposure to bad things in order to take advantage of the collisions with the good things that …

Economics-Based Environmentalism In The Fourth Generation Of Environmental Law, Donald J. Kochan Dec 2014

Economics-Based Environmentalism In The Fourth Generation Of Environmental Law, Donald J. Kochan

Donald J. Kochan

Environmental protection and economic concerns are not mutually exclusive. This article explores some of the issues of economic analysis that might arise as we approach the fourth generation of environmental law. It explains ways that economic analysis can be employed to generate the best environmental rules, including measures under what this article terms as "economics-based environmentalism." Economics-based environmentalism contends that the advantages of using economic principles within a “polycentric toolbox” of environmental law come from the benefits available in private ordering, markets, property rights, liability regimes and incentives structures that will better protect the environment than alternatives like state-based interventionist, …

A Framework For Understanding Property Regulation And Land Use Control From A Dynamic Perspective, Donald J. Kochan Dec 2014

A Framework For Understanding Property Regulation And Land Use Control From A Dynamic Perspective, Donald J. Kochan

Donald J. Kochan

Our land use control system operates across a variety of multidimensional and dynamic categories. Learning to navigate within and between these categories requires an appreciation for their interconnected, dynamic, and textured components and an awareness of alternative mechanisms for achieving one’s land use control preferences and one’s desired ends. Whether seeking to minimize controls as a property owner or attempting to place controls on the land uses of another, one should take time to understand the full ecology of the system. This Article looks at four broad categories of control: (1) no controls, or the state of nature; (2) judicial …

Law And Economics In Der Welt Des Zivilrechts: Die Situation Brasilianischer Gerichte, Mariana Pargendler, Bruno Meyerhof Salama Dec 2014

Law And Economics In Der Welt Des Zivilrechts: Die Situation Brasilianischer Gerichte, Mariana Pargendler, Bruno Meyerhof Salama

Bruno Meyerhof Salama

Auch wenn der Fortschritt von law and economics in einigen Zivilrechtsländern von Zeit zu Zeit anerkannt wird, besteht die herkömmliche Auffassung noch immer darin, dass die Rechtsberufe auf zivilrechtlichen Gebieten für ökonomische Argumentationen unzugänglich sind. Zumindest für Brasilien ist jedoch die Annahme der Isolierung der Rechtspraxis von ökonomischer Argumentation schlechthin falsch. Der zunehmende Einsatz ökonomischer Argumentation an den brasilianischen Gerichten keine Folge blinder Nachahmung ausländischer Modeströmungen ist. Im Gegenteil, dieser Einsatz ist das Ergebnis eines tiefgreifenden Wandels von Eigenschaften und Betrieb des brasilianischen Rechtssystems – mit der Auswirkung, dass die Gerichte zunehmend mit der Gestaltung und Umsetzung öffentlicher Grundsatzpolitik beschäftigt …

Controles De Câmbio No Brasil: Teoria E Prática, Bruno Meyerhof Salama

Bruno Meyerhof Salama

Para abordar a regulação do mercado de câmbio sob a ótica do Direito Econômico, organizo este texto em duas partes. Na primeira, apresento um panorama geral sobre a regulação cambial no Brasil.

A segunda parte ilustra os problemas acima indicados apresentando duas contendas jurídicas recorrentes atinentes à …

Desconsideração Da Personalidade Jurídica Em Favor De Credores Comerciais, Bruno Meyerhof Salama, Alberto Barbosa Jr. Dec 2014

Desconsideração Da Personalidade Jurídica Em Favor De Credores Comerciais, Bruno Meyerhof Salama, Alberto Barbosa Jr.

Bruno Meyerhof Salama

Uma das questões mais litigadas hoje no Brasil é a responsabilização de sócios por dívidas da empresa. O tema se põe em diversas esferas, e tem dado causa a perplexidades variadas na teoria e na prática do direito. Este texto defende o argumento de que em geral é adequado, do ponto de vista econômico, preservar a limitação de responsabilidade dos sócios frente aos credores comerciais de sociedades em situação de insolvência. Como tal posição é consistente também com a legislação em vigor e com a tradição do Direito Privado brasileiro, sustentamos que a desconsideração da personalidade jurídica de sociedades limitadas …

A Racionalidade Econômica Do Direito Falimentar: Reflexões Sobre O Caso Brasileiro, Bruno Meyerhof Salama, Fabio Crocco Dec 2014

A Racionalidade Econômica Do Direito Falimentar: Reflexões Sobre O Caso Brasileiro, Bruno Meyerhof Salama, Fabio Crocco

Bruno Meyerhof Salama

Muito se pode aprimorar a aplicação do direito falimentar quando se conhece a lógica econômica de suas regras e princípios. Esse texto examina separadamente a racionalidade econômica de quatro aspectos centrais da LRF, a saber: (i) o princípio da universalidade da falência, (ii) o conceito de insolvência empresarial como predominantemente ligado à falta de caixa (e não à existência de déficit patrimonial), (iii) a responsabilização de sócios e administradores pelo agravamento de crises econômico-financeiras de empresas, e (iv) o processo de realização do ativo de empresas insolventes.
