The Gamification Of Banking, Colleen Baker, Christopher K. Odinet

Faculty Scholarship

Gamification is coming to banking. This phenomenon is already gain-ing ground in advertising, healthcare, manufacturing, and, more recently, with the GameStop and AMC meme stock saga in securities trading. The idea behind gamification is to make transactions seem fun, playful, and even casino-like in order to elicit habit-forming, addictive-like effects with consumers. This Article argues that the rise of financial technology (“fintech”) firms and their ever-growing business relationships with incumbent financial institutions has created the necessary conditions for gamification to take hold in the banking sector. In order to explore this observation, we undertake a study of current examples of …


Lost (It All) In Space: The Legality Of Extra-Terrestrial Gambling, Robert M. Jarvis Jan 2023

Lost (It All) In Space: The Legality Of Extra-Terrestrial Gambling, Robert M. Jarvis

Faculty Scholarship

Is gambling in outer space legal under United States law? With commercial space flights now almost routine, and gambling growing by leaps and bounds, this question is becoming more pressing by the day. As it happens, three existing federal criminal laws— dating, respectively, from 1790, 1825, and 1951—make it clear that betting in outer space currently is illegal in nearly all instances.

These chapters …

Fair Division, Michael J. Meurer Apr 1999

Fair Division, Michael J. Meurer

Faculty Scholarship

In this article I introduce legal scholars to concepts of fairness developed by microeconomic theorists. My starting point is a review of the books: Cooperative Microeconomics: A Game-Theoretic Introduction, by Herve Moulin, and Equity: In Theory and Practice, by H. Peyton Young. The books explain how to use cooperative game theory to study the fair allocation of benefits and costs. I illustrate the use of cooperative game theory by applying it to various problems of fair division in the law. I believe formal analysis of fair division is valuable because it allows scholars to connect their intuitive sense of fairness …
