Towards A New Transition Economics, Katharina Pistor
Towards A New Transition Economics, Katharina Pistor
Katharina Pistor
In these brief comments I take issue with the thesis expressed in Konstantin Sonin’s conference review that economic transition is a thing of the past. To the contrary, I argue that it has only just begun and so has the process of rethinking the economic theories and models that have framed the subfield of transition economics. Specifically, I point out that the many surprises economists have encountered when confronted with the actual results of the transition process reveal deeper flaws in the analytical framework that informs their analyses and policy prescriptions. If protecting theories and models is of first order …
What Should We Expect From The Dodd-Frank Bounty Program?, Diego G. Pardow
What Should We Expect From The Dodd-Frank Bounty Program?, Diego G. Pardow
Diego G. Pardow
Among other changes, the Dodd–Frank bounty program substantially increases the size of the rewards. The supporters argue that the program should encourage more players to step in, whereas the critics claim that it would only increase less reliable whistleblowers. This note describes the economic reasoning behind the dispute, attempting to build a reasonable expectation in light of the available empirical data. Although most of the evidence from previous bounty programs sides with the supporter’s theory, it has to be considered that the quantity and quality of whistleblower reporting are not the only relevant factors. Whistleblowers play a key role diversifying …
On The Theoretical Foundations For Regulating Financial Markets, Katharina Pistor
On The Theoretical Foundations For Regulating Financial Markets, Katharina Pistor
Katharina Pistor
How we think about financial markets determines how we regulate them. Since the 1970s modern finance theory has shaped how we think about and regulate financial markets. It is based on the notion that markets are or can be made (more) efficient. Financial markets have been deregulated when they were thought to achieve efficient outcomes on their own; and regulation was designed to lend crutches to them when it appeared that they needed support. While modern finance theory has suffered some setbacks in the aftermath of the global crisis, defenders hold that improving market efficiency should still be the overriding …

Real Vs. Imagined Financial Markets The Regulatory Challenge, Katharina Pistor
Real Vs. Imagined Financial Markets The Regulatory Challenge, Katharina Pistor
Katharina Pistor
We have grown accustomed to regulating financial markets based on imagined, not real markets. Real markets are shaped by and co-‐evolve with institutional arrangements within two fundamental constraints: Imperfect knowledge and the threat of illiquidity. Imperfect knowledge implies that the future is unknown and unknowable and that, therefore, investment strategies developed today will need to be revised, if not reversed, when the future arrives. Illiquidity means that it is impossible to convert all claims into cash at any given moment. It follows that when far-‐reaching downward adjustments to past investment strategies become necessary the illiquidity threat manifests itself and can …

Beyond Macro-Prudential Regulation: Three Ways Of Thinking About Financial Crisis, Regulation And Reform, Tamara Lothian
Beyond Macro-Prudential Regulation: Three Ways Of Thinking About Financial Crisis, Regulation And Reform, Tamara Lothian
Tamara Lothian
This paper considers the debate about the "macro-prudential regulation" of finance in the context of a broader view of the relation of finance to the real economy. Five ideas are central to the argument. The first idea is that the two dominant families of ideas about finance and its regulation share a failure of institutional imagination. Neoclassical economists blame localized market and regulatory failures for the troubles of finance. Keynesians invoke the way in which the money economy may amplify cycles of despondency and euphoria. Neither current of thought recognizes that the institutions of finance in particular, and of the …
American Finance And American Democracy: Towards An Institutionalist "Law And Economics", Tamara Lothian
American Finance And American Democracy: Towards An Institutionalist "Law And Economics", Tamara Lothian
Tamara Lothian
This article reconsiders the financial and economic crisis of 2007-2009 and the present debate about the regulation of finance in the light of a vision of how finance can better serve the American economy and American Democracy. The central claim is that regulation as conventionally understood cannot adequately redress the problems, and seize the opportunities, revealed by the crisis. We should approach financial regulation as the first step in a series of institutional innovations designed to put finance more effectively at the service of the real economy (financial deepening) while broadening economic opportunity in the country (financial democratization). I develop …

Polar Law And Good Governance, Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
Prof. Elizabeth Burleson
This chapter will assess the Antarctic Treaty System, ask what polar lessons can be learned regarding common pool resources, and analyze law of the sea and related measures. It will consider such substantive areas as Arctic and Antarctic natural resource management and procedural opportunities as inclusive governance structures. Enhancing good governance can occur through trust building forums that bring together stakeholders, share information, and make environmentally sound decisions regarding sustainable development.
La Voluntad En Los Contratos De Adhesión: Sociología Y Crítica Jurídica, Con Énfasis En El Análisis Económico Del Derecho / The Consent Theory Critique And Standard Form Contracts In Civil Law (With Special Reference To Law And Economics), Andres Palacios Lleras
Andrés Palacios Lleras
El presente artículo tiene como propósito sugerir los elementos básicos para (re)construir una doctrina diferente sobre la interpretación de los contratos de adhesión en Colombia, basada en las ideas de Josserand y en literatura contemporánea sobre análisis económico del derecho. La tesis que se argumenta sugiere que dichos contratos deben interpretarse teniendo en mente tanto las característias cognitivas de los adherentes, como el desequilirio de poder negocial que subyace su relación con los oferentes, y sugiere que las normas potestativas sólo puedan ser cambiadas a favor de la parte adherente.

Rethinking Finance Through Law: A Theoretical Perspective, Tamara Lothian
Rethinking Finance Through Law: A Theoretical Perspective, Tamara Lothian
Tamara Lothian
Finance is traditionally studied by lawyers as well as by economists on the basis of the premise that a market economy has, at its core, a single natural and necessary institutional form, expressed, for example, in the basic rules and doctrines of contract and property. The literature about "varieties of capitalism" has proved insufficient to challenge this assumption. A corollary of this premise is the view that, barring particular market defects, a market economy can be counted on to channel the savings of society to its most efficient possible uses. The first task of regulation is supposedly to redress such …
The Economic Theory Of Derivative Actions, Diego G. Pardow
The Economic Theory Of Derivative Actions, Diego G. Pardow
Diego G. Pardow
This paper offers a model to formalize the economic theory of derivative actions developed during the last 30 years. From this perspective, the derivative action presents two interrelated problems. The first is how to solve the collective action problem that prevents that minority shareholders file a suit. The second is how to control the risk of collusive settlements between the defendant manager and the plaintiff’s attorney. This model identifies the fundamental tradeoffs that are implicit in these problems, as well as an optimum that could be used as normative benchmark. In brief, it argues that if the goal of derivative …
Ownership Unbundling In European Energy Market & Legal Problems Under Eu Law, Michael Diathesopoulos
Ownership Unbundling In European Energy Market & Legal Problems Under Eu Law, Michael Diathesopoulos
Michael Diathesopoulos
In this paper we will examine the issue of ownership unbundling and forced divestiture remedies imposed in a series of recent competition law cases of the energy market - examined in other papers - in relation to the possible existence of a series of legal obstacles. These energy market decisions belong to a group of antitrust cases in which a structural divestiture remedy has been imposed under the provisions of Article 9 of Regulation 1/2003. This divestiture refers to transmission networks and to generation capacity and is meant to lead to severe structural changes, which are compatible with the findings …

Rudolf Callmann And The Misappropriation Doctrine In The Common Law Of Unfair Competition, Christopher Wadlow
Rudolf Callmann And The Misappropriation Doctrine In The Common Law Of Unfair Competition, Christopher Wadlow
Christopher Wadlow
Rudolf Callmann (1892-1976) is a central figure for unfair competition lawyers in both the German civil law and the Anglo-American common law traditions. When he emigrated from Germany to America in the 1930s he was already the author of substantial works on trade marks, unfair competition, and cartel law. In the United States he composed the monumental Callmann on Unfair Competition, Trademarks and Monopolies. This article examines his invocation of the 1918 decision of the Supreme Court in International News Service v Associated Press as the basis for a reformulated common law of unfair competition, eschewing a purely tortious conception …
Competition Law And Sector Regulation In The European Energy Market After The Third Energy Package: Hierarchy And Efficiency, Michael Diathesopoulos
Competition Law And Sector Regulation In The European Energy Market After The Third Energy Package: Hierarchy And Efficiency, Michael Diathesopoulos
Michael Diathesopoulos
The aim of this research is to provide the basic parameters for a model for the definition of the relation between the general competition and sector specific frameworks and rules regarding the regulation of the Internal Energy Market, especially after the Third Energy Package. The research considers the recent sector specific framework in relation to a series of recent competition law cases of the Energy Market where structural remedies were applied under the commitments procedure. Essential facilities doctrine and generally competition law tools do not seem to provide a suitable framework for effectively addressing the dynamic competition concept, treating the …

Determining The Scope Of Trademark Rights By Recourse To Value Judgements Related To The Effectiveness Of Competition - The Demise Of The Trademark-Use Requirement And The Functional Analysis Of Trademark Law, Apostolos Chronopoulos
Determining The Scope Of Trademark Rights By Recourse To Value Judgements Related To The Effectiveness Of Competition - The Demise Of The Trademark-Use Requirement And The Functional Analysis Of Trademark Law, Apostolos Chronopoulos
Apostolos Chronopoulos
This paper examines the doctrinal implications of the principle of complementarity between intellectual property rights and competition law in the field of trademarks. The systematic adherence of trademark rights to the wider set of norms regulating the competitive process implies that their teleology should take into consideration value judgements related to the effectiveness of competition. Neither the limiting concept of trademark use nor the legal recognition of some “economic trademark functions” is apt to fulfil this legal task. It is therefore submitted that the normative valuations flowing out of competition law should be implemented through a purposive interpretation of the …
O Passado E O Futuro Financeiro Dos Estados Unidos Da America: O Experimentalismo Americano Sem O Excepcionalismo Americano, Tamara Lothian
O Passado E O Futuro Financeiro Dos Estados Unidos Da America: O Experimentalismo Americano Sem O Excepcionalismo Americano, Tamara Lothian
Tamara Lothian
Este trabalho apresenta uma distincao entre a reforma regulatoria financeira e a reconstrucao institucional, e argumenta que os esforcos dos EUA e do outros paises para reformar a regulacao de financas podem e devem servir como um primeiro passo para a reconstrucao institucional. A crise financeira revelou uma serie de problemas que nao podem ser resolvidos atraves da simples regulacao. Tais problemas exigem inovacoes destinadas a reorganizar a relacao das financas com a economia real. Para isso, precisamos de uma pratica de analise juridica e economica atenta as realidades e possibilidades institucionais. Este trabalho exemplifica essa pratica no cenario da …
