THE promotion of free international trade and the development of global financial markets have resulted in significant changes to the structure and dynamics of commercial relations in the last three decades. International integration among economies has been a useful tool for achieving economic growth. Consequently, most economies are interdependent, and business has been made among traders located in different jurisdictions.
Investors and enterprises have moved toward new boundaries seeking new markets. Companies have radically changed their structures as a means of maximizing profits. Nowadays multinational companies are a common feature, owning assets and assuming obligations in various countries. As a …

The Debt Dilemma, Katherine Porter
The Debt Dilemma, Katherine Porter
Michigan Law Review
Part I describes the nature of credit card spending and explores the usefulness of Mann's comparative approach to studying credit cards. Part II evaluates Mann's findings on the overall relationships between individual credit card transactions and aggregate levels of spending, borrowing, and bankruptcy. It also briefly analyzes the relationship between his findings and policy recommendations. Part III explores data on families who refrain from credit card use and struggle with serious financial distress. Part IV revisits Mann's policy recommendations in light of this new data. I conclude that implementing credit card reform would offer families only partial, albeit valuable, protection …

Making Sense Of Nation-Level Bankruptcy Filing Rates, Ronald J. Mann
Making Sense Of Nation-Level Bankruptcy Filing Rates, Ronald J. Mann
Faculty Scholarship
Increased rates of consumer bankruptcy filings are a policy concern around the world. It is not easy, however, to explain the variations in per capita filing rates from country to country. Some of the variation is attributable to different levels of indebtedness. Some is attributable to different cultural attitudes about financial failure. And some is attributable to the accessibility of the legal system as a remedy for irremediable financial distress.
This paper analyzes the differences in nation-level, per capita filing rates. I start with a model that uses economic variables to explain nation-level variations in filing rates. The economic and …

Before 2005, many people went broke and many filed for bankruptcy. After 2005, many people still go broke, but not so many file for bankruptcy. Why has the number of bankruptcies declined? Surely it is not the economy. All throughout the 2000s, families have been under increasing economic pressure. Median family incomes have declined, basic expenses have risen, and families are shouldering unprecedented debt loads. Defaults remain high for credit cards and car loans, while mortgage foreclosures have soared. By 2008, over half of all Americans reported that their incomes were falling behind their cost of living. These data all …
