A Bargaining Analysis Of American Labor Law And The Search For Bargaining Equity And Industrial Peace, Kenneth G. Dau-Schmidt
A Bargaining Analysis Of American Labor Law And The Search For Bargaining Equity And Industrial Peace, Kenneth G. Dau-Schmidt
Michigan Law Review
In this article, I present an alternative economic analysis of unions and collective bargaining that utilizes recent advances in labor economics and some simple applications of game theory to address the deficiencies of the traditional monopoly model.
The article proceeds in four parts. In Part I, I provide a brief primer on the economic analysis of unions and collective bargaining. I discuss the various possible sources of union wage increases, possible employer responses to union wage demands, and alternative models of the costs of collective bargaining. In Part II, I outline the traditional monopoly theory of unions by combining the …

Judicial Choice And Disparities Between Measures Of Economic Values, David Cohen, Jack L. Knetsch
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
An important idea, which characterizes law in society, is a reluctance to move from the status quo. In general, one can argue that legal institutions and legal doctrine are not engaged in the redistribution of wealth from one party to another. This paper explores a possible explanation for that principle. The authors' research suggests that, across a wide range of entitlements and in a variety of contexts, individuals value losses more than foregone gains. The paper argues, as a matter of efficiency, that law and social policy might have developed in a manner consistent with this valuation disparity. Furthermore, this …
Three Attorney Fee-Shifting Rules And Contingency Fees: Their Impact On Settlement Incentives, Bradley L. Smith
Three Attorney Fee-Shifting Rules And Contingency Fees: Their Impact On Settlement Incentives, Bradley L. Smith
Michigan Law Review
This Note seeks to predict the direction and magnitude of the change in settlement frequency under the three fee-shifting rules: American, British, and the British rule as modified by the PCC. Part I analyzes the proposed rule using the theoretical model of litigation and settlement developed by Hause. Part II examines the impact of fee-shifting when the plaintiff's lawyer receives reimbursement via a contingency fee. Analysis of indemnification in a contingency fee context raises several policy issues which section II.A addresses. Section II.B discusses the terms and assumptions made in adjusting Hause's model to reflect the standard contingency fee arrangement, …

Impractibility, Mutual Mistake And Related Contractual Bases For Equitably Adjusting The External Debt Of Sub-Saharan Africa, Jon H. Sylvester
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
At the end of 1988, the combined external indebtedness of the third world' (referred to below as less developed countries or "LDCs") was estimated at nearly $1.3 trillion.2 In the same year, the United Nations agency United Nations International Childrens' Emergency Fund ("UNICEF") attributed the deaths of 650,000 children in LDCs to re-duction in basic living standards caused by diversion of resources to servicing external debt.3 Some experts say prospects for solving this huge and growing problem are actually growing worse due to "debt fatigue."
