The Taylor Swift Effect And International Law, Katrin Kuhlmann
The Taylor Swift Effect And International Law, Katrin Kuhlmann
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour has come to an end, but the Taylor Swift Effect will remain a powerful force with influence well beyond even Swift herself. Often used to describe Swift’s economic impact through her fandom, it has become shorthand for the broader network effect that amplifies and extends the reach of her discography and cultural influence. As this article discusses, the Taylor Swift Effect has real implications for international relations and international law at a time when many nations are withdrawing from constructive international engagement, with devastating consequences in terms of global rights, liberties, and norms.

Do The Securities Laws Actually Protect Investors (And How)? Lessons From Spacs, Patrick M. Corrigan
Do The Securities Laws Actually Protect Investors (And How)? Lessons From Spacs, Patrick M. Corrigan
Journal Articles
From the Article
This Article identifies transactional innovation in public offering markets as a case study of how going-public transactions would work if issuers could choose to relax some of the investor protections provided under the securities laws. In recent years, private companies that wanted to go public had a meaningful choice between a traditional initial public offering and a merger with a special purpose acquisition corporation (SPAC). Most of the direct and indirect investor protections that ordinarily apply in the initial public offering context are relaxed in the SPAC context.
The Article argues that outcomes in SPAC markets, where …

This Article expands the purview of bankruptcy scholarship to those government businesses, assessing how Chapter 9 operates for them. It does so by taking public hospitals as a case study, offering a comprehensive look at every public-hospital bankruptcy between 1988 and 2021.
The Macroprudential Myth, Jeremy C. Kress, Jeffery Yufeng Zhang
The Macroprudential Myth, Jeremy C. Kress, Jeffery Yufeng Zhang
Articles
According to conventional wisdom, the 2008 fnancial crisis fundamen- tally changed how policymakers approach fnancial regulation. Before the crisis, regulators sought to prevent individual fnancial institutions from collapsing, but this “microprudential” strategy proved inadequate to stop the market-wide meltdown. In response, policymakers purportedly turned to a new “macroprudential” approach that prioritizes the stability of the fnancial system as a whole instead of individual institutions in isolation. Regulators in the United States and abroad enthusiastically embraced macroprudential policy, implementing stress tests, capital buffers, liquidity requirements, and other supposed macroprudential tools. As the United States’ top bank regulator declared in 2015, “[W]e …
The Consumer’S Choice To Boycott, Agnes Bresee
The Consumer’S Choice To Boycott, Agnes Bresee
Seattle University Law Review
In the wake of employees losing their jobs upon voicing their political opinions concerning Israel, Harvard and Columbia law students’ job offers being rescinded upon expressing support for Palestine, and the names and social media profiles of individuals who support Palestine being collected and listed on Canary Mission, such backlash may leave many Americans wondering what form of resistance to settler-colonialist apartheid is acceptable in the twenty-first century. Recently, the movement to collectively boycott brands like Starbucks, which sued its Worker’s Union for a tweet expressing support for Palestine; Disney, which donated money to Israel; and McDonald’s, where a location …

A Different Approach To Agency Theory And Implications For Esg, Jonathan Bonham, Amoray Riggs-Cragun
A Different Approach To Agency Theory And Implications For Esg, Jonathan Bonham, Amoray Riggs-Cragun
Seattle University Law Review
In conventional agency theory, the agent is modeled as exerting unobservable “effort” that influences the distribution over outcomes the principal cares about. Recent papers instead allow the agent to choose the entire distribution, an assumption that better describes the extensive and flexible control that CEOs have over firm outcomes. Under this assumption, the optimal contract rewards the agent directly for outcomes the principal cares about, rather than for what those outcomes reveal about the agent’s effort. This article briefly summarizes this new agency model and discusses its implications for contracting on ESG activities.
Overseeing The Administrative State, Jill E. Fisch
Overseeing The Administrative State, Jill E. Fisch
Seattle University Law Review
In a series of recent cases, the Supreme Court has reduced the regulatory power of the Administrative State. Pending cases offer vehicles for the Court to go still further. Although the Court’s skepticism of administrative agencies may be rooted in Constitutional principles or political expediency, this Article explores another possible explanation—a shift in the nature of agencies and their regulatory role. As Pritchard and Thompson detail in their important book, A History of Securities Law in the Supreme Court, the Supreme Court was initially skeptical of agency power, jeopardizing Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR)’s ambitious New Deal plan. The Court’s acceptance …
The Sec, The Supreme Court, And The Administrative State, Paul G. Mahoney
The Sec, The Supreme Court, And The Administrative State, Paul G. Mahoney
Seattle University Law Review
Pritchard and Thompson have given those of us who study the SEC and the securities laws much food for thought. Their methodological focus is on the internal dynamics of the Court’s deliberations, on which they have done detailed and valuable work. The Court did not, however, operate in a vacuum. Intellectual trends in economics and law over the past century can also help us understand the SEC’s fortunes in the federal courts and make predictions about its future.
The Sffa V. Harvard Trojan Horse Admissions Lawsuit, Kimberly West-Faulcon
The Sffa V. Harvard Trojan Horse Admissions Lawsuit, Kimberly West-Faulcon
Seattle University Law Review
Affirmative-action-hostile admissions lawsuits are modern Trojan horses. The SFFA v. Harvard/UNC case—Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. President & Fellows of Harvard College and Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. University of North Carolina, et. al., decided jointly—is the most effective Trojan horse admissions lawsuit to date. Constructed to have the distractingly appealing exterior façade of a lawsuit seeking greater fairness in college admissions, the SFFA v. Harvard/UNC case is best understood as a deception-driven battle tactic used by forces waging a multi-decade war against the major legislative victories of America’s Civil Rights Movement, specifically Title VI and Title VII …
Feeding The Good Fire: Paths To Facilitate Native-Led Fire Management On Federal Lands, Kevin Burdet
Feeding The Good Fire: Paths To Facilitate Native-Led Fire Management On Federal Lands, Kevin Burdet
Seattle University Law Review
In 2003, nearly twenty Native American reservations were devastated by wildfires that originated on adjacent federal lands. The San Pasqual Reservation’s entire 1,400 acres were burned along with over a third of its homes, and seventy-five percent of the Rincon Reservation was burned, taking twenty homes with it. These devastating fires, along with others in 2002, brought about the Tribal Forest Protection Act of 2004 (TFPA), which offered hope for Tribes to propose projects on bordering or adjacent federal lands and protect reservation lands in the process. Unfortunately, twenty years later, the TFPA has had a marginal effect in enabling …
A Hard Pill To Swallow: The Abysmal Mental Health Standards Of Detained Immigrant Children In The United States, Rama Bankesly
A Hard Pill To Swallow: The Abysmal Mental Health Standards Of Detained Immigrant Children In The United States, Rama Bankesly
Seattle University Law Review
After setting foot into the U.S., unaccompanied children must learn to navigate academic and legal systems while receiving little support and carrying the heavy burden of effects of trauma on their mental health. They need access to mental health care from qualified professionals, but as this Comment will explain, they systematically fail to receive care, as can be seen in cases like Doe v. Shenandoah Valley Juv. Ctr. Comm’n. In Shenandoah, an unaccompanied child arrived in the U.S. and was placed in a facility that failed to provide remotely adequate mental health care and in fact was subjected …
Constructing A Taxonomy Of Financial Consumer Protection Policy And Assessing The New Consumer Duty In The United Kingdom's Financial Sector, Iris H-Y Chiu, Wai-Yee Wan
Constructing A Taxonomy Of Financial Consumer Protection Policy And Assessing The New Consumer Duty In The United Kingdom's Financial Sector, Iris H-Y Chiu, Wai-Yee Wan
Cardozo International & Comparative Law Review
The article critically examines the UK's Consumer Duty, introduced by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), arguing that while it represents a significant step in financial consumer protection, it falls short in addressing welfare outcomes and distributive justice. The Duty focuses on consumer empowerment but neglects key aspects of consumer citizenship, such as access to essential financial services and guarantees of product quality. The article proposes a taxonomy of consumer protection levels to evaluate the Duty's effectiveness and advocates for a more robust framework that prioritizes financial inclusion and long-term consumer welfare.
Trial Selection And Estimating Damages Equations, Keith N. Hylton
Trial Selection And Estimating Damages Equations, Keith N. Hylton
Faculty Scholarship
Many studies have employed regression analysis with data drawn from court opinions. For example, an analyst might use regression analysis to determine the factors that explain the size of damages awards or the factors that determine the probability that the plaintiff will prevail at trial or on appeal. However, the full potential of multiple regression analysis in legal research has not been realized, largely because of the sample selection problem. We propose a method for controlling for sample selection bias using data from court opinions.
The Chicago School’S Coasean Incoherence, Madison Condon
The Chicago School’S Coasean Incoherence, Madison Condon
Faculty Scholarship
This comment traces the divergent legal academic interpretations of the Chicago School's Ronald Coase and where their influence lands--revealing the law’s inconsistent conception of just what a corporation is or should be. By following Alyssa Battistoni's investigation of the origin of the "externality," we can see the late 60s and early 1970s as a pivotal era. People were waking up to the collective costs of industrialization and pushing back against corporate power. Against this democratic wave, the writings of the Chicago School worked to separate one human person into her different roles in the economy—consumer, worker, shareholder. They used the …

Reducing Prescription Drug Prices: How Competition Can Make Medications Affordable For Patients - Testimony Of Rachel E. Sachs, Rachel Sachs
Reducing Prescription Drug Prices: How Competition Can Make Medications Affordable For Patients - Testimony Of Rachel E. Sachs, Rachel Sachs
Scholarship@WashULaw
In this testimony, I will explain how existing law both keeps branded drug prices high but has also enabled the development of lower-cost generic and biosimilar competition for branded prescription drugs and biological products. This competition can be used to promote access to affordable prescription drugs, benefiting not only patients but also our public payers. However, I will also explain the ways in which existing legislative and regulatory efforts have not always succeeded in promoting competition and will offer a path forward for this Committee to examine reforms that not only encourage the approval of lower-cost products but also ensure …

Antitrust, Amazon, And Algorithmic Auditing, Jens Frankenreiter, Abhisek Dash, Abhijnan Chakraborty, Saptarshi Ghosh, Animesh Mukherjee, Stefan Bechtold, Krishna P. Gummadi
Scholarship@WashULaw
In digital markets, antitrust law and special regulations aim to ensure that markets remain competitive despite the dominating role that digital platforms play today in everyone's life. Unlike traditional markets, market participant behavior is easily observable in these markets. We present a series of empirical investigations into the extent to which Amazon engages in practices that are typically described as self-preferencing. We discuss how the computer science tools used in this paper can be used in a regulatory environment that is based on algorithmic auditing and requires regulating digital markets at scale.
Remote Repossession, Rebecca Crootof
Remote Repossession, Rebecca Crootof
Law Faculty Publications
Ford’s February 2023 patent application raises a new possibility: that after a default, an internet-connected vehicle might autonomously drive itself off of the owner’s premises—to a public space, to the repossession agency, or even to a junkyard. But while this “remote repossession” would minimize the risks of harm that attend in-person repossessions, it creates at least three new risks. First, a danger of bodily injury and property damage to the owner. Second, an increased likelihood of physical harm to a third-party with no obviously responsible entity. And third, most invisibly but also perhaps most importantly: further erosion of consumers’ current …

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
จากการวิเคราะห์ปัญหาข้อเท็จจริงที่เกิดขึ้นในปัจจุบัน ที่ผู้ประกอบการที่มีผลขาดทุนไม่ได้ใช้สิทธิประโยชน์ทางภาษีอากรที่รัฐส่งเสริมในด้านการวิจัยและพัฒนาเทคโนโลยีและนวัตกรรม ซึ่งให้สิทธิประโยชน์โดยการยกเว้นภาษีเงินได้นิติบุคคลและการให้หักรายจ่ายได้เพิ่ม เนื่องจากกิจการที่มีผลขาดทุนไม่เสียภาษีเงินได้นิติบุคคล ดังนั้นการยกเว้นภาษีเงินได้และการหักรายจ่ายได้เพิ่มขึ้น จึงไม่เป็นการส่งเสริมหรือจูงใจกิจการเหล่านี้แต่อย่างใด อีกทั้งกิจการที่มีผลขาดทุนมักเป็นกิจการขนาดเล็กที่มีเงินทุนจำกัดในการลงทุนเพื่อการวิจัยและพัฒนาเทคโนโลยีและนวัตกรรม ในขณะที่กิจการที่มีกำไรสุทธิสามารถใช้สิทธิประโยชน์ในการยกเว้นภาษีอากรได้อย่างเต็มที่ ส่งผลให้เกิดความไม่เท่าเทียมกันของมาตรการทางภาษีของรัฐในปัจจุบัน จากการศึกษามาตรการทางภาษีเพื่อจูงใจให้ภาคเอกชนลงทุนด้านการวิจัยและพัฒนาของสหราชอาณาจักรและสิงคโปร์ พบว่าส่งเสริมให้กิจการได้รับสิทธิประโยชน์ทั้งที่มีกำไรและขาดทุน โดยกิจการที่กำไรจะได้รับการลดหย่อนภาษีเงินได้จากรายจ่ายด้านการวิจัยและพัฒนา และกิจการที่ขาดทุนจะได้รับเงินชดเชยจากรายจ่ายด้านการวิจัยและพัฒนา โดยเงินชดเชยดังกล่าวไม่ถือเป็นเงินได้ ทำให้กิจการมีสภาพคล่องมากขึ้น และส่งเสริมให้เกิดการลงทุนเพิ่มขึ้น แสดงให้เห็นว่ามาตรการทางภาษีของสหราชอาณาจักรและสิงคโปร์มีประสิทธิภาพในการกระตุ้นและจูงใจ ให้เกิดการลงทุนด้านการวิจัยและพัฒนาได้อย่างแท้จริง ดังนั้น เพื่อเพิ่มประสิทธิภาพของมาตรการจูงใจให้ภาคเอกชนลงทุนด้านการวิจัยและพัฒนาเทคโนโลยีและนวัตกรรมของไทยให้มากขึ้น ซึ่งจะส่งผลต่อการพัฒนาเศรษฐกิจโดยรวมและช่วยยกระดับขีดความสามารถในการแข่งขันของประเทศ ประเทศไทยควรปรับปรุงการให้สิทธิประโยชน์ทางภาษีให้เหมาะสมและมีประสิทธิภาพในการจูงใจให้ภาคเอกชนลงทุนด้านการวิจัยและพัฒนาเทคโนโลยีและนวัตกรรม โดยการนำมาตรการให้เงินชดเชยจากรายจ่ายด้านการวิจัยและพัฒนาของสหราชอาณาจักรและสิงคโปร์ มาปรับใช้กับมาตรการทางภาษีของไทยต่อไป

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
เอกัตศึกษาฉบับนี้มีวัตถุประสงค์เพื่อศึกษาแนวทางการนำดอกเบี้ยจากเงินกู้ยืมเพื่อการศึกษาไปใช้ลดหย่อนภาษีเงินได้บุคคลธรรมดาในประเทศไทย โดยเล็งเห็นถึงข้อจำกัดในปัจจุบันที่สิทธิประโยชน์ลดหย่อนภาษีที่เกี่ยวข้องกับดอกเบี้ยอนุญาตเฉพาะดอกเบี้ยจากเงินกู้ยืมเพื่อที่อยู่อาศัยเท่านั้น เมื่อเปรียบเทียบกับนโยบายในต่างประเทศ สหรัฐอเมริกาและแคนาดาเป็นตัวอย่างที่ชัดเจนในการออกแบบมาตรการสนับสนุนผู้กู้ยืมเงินเพื่อการศึกษาในรูปแบบสิทธิประโยชน์ทางภาษี สหรัฐอเมริกามีมาตรการ "Student Loan Interest Deduction" ซึ่งอนุญาตให้นำดอกเบี้ยเงินกู้ยืมเพื่อการศึกษามาหักลดหย่อนจากรายได้ที่ต้องเสียภาษีได้สูงสุด 2,500 ดอลลาร์สหรัฐต่อปี โดยจำนวนเงินลดหย่อนขึ้นอยู่กับรายได้รวมที่ปรับปรุงแล้ว (MAGI) ระบบนี้เหมาะสำหรับกลุ่มผู้มีรายได้ปานกลางถึงสูง เนื่องจากสิทธิประโยชน์จะเพิ่มขึ้นตามฐานภาษีของผู้เสียภาษี แต่ข้อเสียคือผู้ที่มีรายได้ต่ำอาจไม่ได้รับประโยชน์เต็มที่ ในทางกลับกัน แคนาดาใช้มาตรการ "Canada Student Loan Interest Deduction" ซึ่งคำนวณเครดิตภาษีที่ 15% ของดอกเบี้ยเงินกู้ที่ชำระในปีภาษีนั้น และอนุญาตให้ยกยอดเครดิตไปใช้ในปีถัดไปได้สูงสุด 5 ปี ระบบนี้ให้ประโยชน์ที่ครอบคลุมทุกกลุ่มรายได้ เนื่องจากการคำนวณเครดิตภาษีไม่ได้ขึ้นอยู่กับฐานภาษีของผู้เสียภาษี แต่เป็นอัตราคงที่ตามจำนวนดอกเบี้ยที่ชำระจริง นอกจากนี้ การอนุญาตให้ยกยอดเครดิตช่วยให้ผู้กู้รายได้ต่ำได้รับสิทธิประโยชน์เต็มจำนวนในอนาคตเมื่อรายได้เพิ่มขึ้นจากการศึกษาแนวทางการให้สิทธิประโยชน์ของภาษีเงินได้บุคคลธรรมดาเกี่ยวกับดอกเบี้ยเงินให้กู้ยืมเพื่อการศึกษา ผู้เขียนเห็นควรว่าแนวทางที่เหมาะสมที่สุดสำหรับการลดหย่อนภาษีเงินได้บุคคลธรรมดาจากดอกเบี้ยเงินกู้ยืมเพื่อการศึกษาในประเทศไทย คือแนวทางการให้เครดิตภาษี (Tax Credit) ตามแบบของประเทศแคนาดา แนวทางนี้ช่วยสร้างความเท่าเทียมสำหรับทุกกลุ่มรายได้ เพราะการคำนวณเครดิตภาษีไม่ได้ขึ้นอยู่กับฐานภาษีเหมือนระบบลดหย่อนรายได้แบบสหรัฐอเมริกา แต่เป็นอัตราคงที่ตามดอกเบี้ยที่ชำระจริง เช่น 5% ของดอกเบี้ยเงินกู้ ทำให้ผู้ที่มีรายได้ต่ำยังคงได้รับสิทธิประโยชน์ในสัดส่วนที่ใกล้เคียงกับผู้ที่มีรายได้สูงกว่า ซึ่งส่งผลโดยตรงต่อการลดภาระทางการเงินและช่วยกลุ่มผู้กู้ในทุกระดับรายได้ได้อย่างทั่วถึง อีกหนึ่งข้อดีที่คือการอนุญาตให้ยกยอดเครดิตภาษีที่ไม่ได้ใช้ในปีนั้นไปเครดิตภาษีในปีถัดไปได้สูงสุดถึง 5 ปี นโยบายนี้เหมาะสมอย่างยิ่งกับกลุ่มผู้กู้ที่อาจเริ่มต้นมีรายได้ต่ำหลังสำเร็จการศึกษา เช่น นักศึกษาที่เพิ่งเริ่มต้นอาชีพ หรือกลุ่มที่ยังไม่มีรายได้เพียงพอที่จะใช้สิทธิ์ได้เต็มจำนวนในช่วงแรกของการชำระหนี้ การยกยอดนี้ช่วยให้พวกเขาสามารถได้รับประโยชน์ทางภาษีอย่างครบถ้วนในอนาคตเมื่อมีรายได้ที่มั่นคงมากขึ้น

Antisocial Innovation, Christopher Buccafusco, Samuel N. Weinstein
Faculty Scholarship
Innovation is a form of civic religion in the United States. In the popular imagination, innovators are heroic figures. Thomas Edison, Steve Jobs, and (for a while) Elizabeth Holmes were lauded for their vision and drive and seen to embody the American spirit of invention and improvement. For their part, politicians rarely miss a chance to trumpet their vision for boosting innovative activity. Popular and political culture alike treat innovation as an unalloyed good. And the law is deeply committed to fostering innovation, spending billions of dollars a year to make sure society has enough of it. But this sunny …
Against Gap-Filling, Noah C. Chauvin
Against Gap-Filling, Noah C. Chauvin
Cardozo Law Review de•novo
Legal scholars delight in gap-filling. They frequently claim that their works have identified a gap in the literature and to have filled (or begun filling) that gap. However, all too often, these same papers fail to explain why the gap needed to be filled at all. Indeed, despite a robust tradition of meta-scholarship, the legal literature is largely devoid of a theory of academic gap-filling. This essay fills that gap, arguing that gap-filling for the sake of gap-filling is an error for three interconnected reasons. First, gaps might exist for a good reason. Second, concern with gap-filling is often a …
A Reputational View Of Antitrust’S Consumer Welfare Standard, Murat C. Mungan, John M. Yun
A Reputational View Of Antitrust’S Consumer Welfare Standard, Murat C. Mungan, John M. Yun
Faculty Scholarship
A reform movement is underway in antitrust. Citing prior enforcement failures, deviations from the original intent of the antitrust laws, and overall rising levels of sector concentration, some are seeking to fundamentally alter or altogether replace the current consumer welfare standard, which has guided courts over the past fifty years. This policy push has sparked an intense debate over the best approach to antitrust law enforcement. In this Article, we examine a previously unexplored potential social cost from moving away from the consumer welfare standard: a loss in the information value to the public from a finding of liability. A …

Unleashing Corporate Entrepreneurship, Bernice A. Grant
Unleashing Corporate Entrepreneurship, Bernice A. Grant
Brooklyn Law Review
Noncompetition agreements (noncompetes), which prohibit employees from launching or working at competitive companies for certain periods, have become increasingly prevalent in the workplace. Employers claim they need noncompetes to protect their trade secrets and other legitimate business interests, but most workers do not have access to trade secrets—and when they do, such secrets can be better protected through confidentiality and intellectual property agreements. In practice, many companies appear to use noncompetes as an employee retention tool, but this is not a legitimate purpose for a noncompete. In addition, noncompetes have a disproportionately negative impact on women, people of color, and …
Students For Fair Admissions: Affirming Affirmative Action And Shapeshifting Towards Cognitive Diversity?, Steven A. Ramirez
Students For Fair Admissions: Affirming Affirmative Action And Shapeshifting Towards Cognitive Diversity?, Steven A. Ramirez
Seattle University Law Review
The Roberts Court holds a well-earned reputation for overturning Supreme Court precedent regardless of the long-standing nature of the case. The Roberts Court knows how to overrule precedent. In Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard (SFFA), the Court’s majority opinion never intimates that it overrules Grutter v. Bollinger, the Court’s leading opinion permitting race-based affirmative action in college admissions. Instead, the Roberts Court applied Grutter as authoritative to hold certain affirmative action programs entailing racial preferences violative of the Constitution. These programs did not provide an end point, nor did they require assessment, review, periodic expiration, or revision for greater …
The Vitruvian Shareholder, Sergio Alberto Gramitto Ricci
The Vitruvian Shareholder, Sergio Alberto Gramitto Ricci
Faculty Works
The proportions of Leonardo's Vitruvian Man allow the human figure to fit a circle and a square, which in Renaissance iconography represent respectively the secular and divine dimensions. Good canons allow for a proportionate and simultaneous coexistence of the two natures of humankind. Human shareholders have two natures, too: one as investors and one as human beings. Similar to the Vitruvian Man, a shareholder with good proportions fits a metaphorical circle and a metaphorical square: the former represents the human dimension, and the latter represents the investor. I dub retail investors who proportionately balance their interests as human beings who …

The First New Deal: Planning, Market Coordination, And The National Industrial Recovery Act Of 1933, Sanjukta Paul
Other Publications
In 1933, four years into the Great Depression, Congress enacted the National Industrial Recovery Act (NIRA) in close cooperation with the Roosevelt administration. The central action of the statute was to facilitate price coordination across a given market or industry. Its rationale was to contain the destructive competition and below-cost pricing that were exacerbating the problems already roiling the economy as a result of the initial stock market crash, and subsequent cascading credit and liquidity crises. In addition to addressing the credit crisis directly through banking and monetary reform, the Roosevelt administration thus sought to buoy up purchasing power by …
