The Unitary Executive And The Federal Reserve, Lev Menand

Faculty Scholarship

The U.S. Supreme Court may soon embrace an interpretation of the U.S. Constitution that would significantly expand the power of the president over federal administrators and invalidate key provisions in dozens of federal statutes. A critical question is whether this interpretation — known as the unitary executive theory (UET) — would also render unconstitutional central bank independence (CBI), an arrangement where a country’s monetary policy is formulated by a semiautonomous body of experts insulated from partisan political pressure. Several justices have suggested that it would not, and a growing scholarly literature has proposed ways for the Court to distinguish the …

Metrics Not Thresholds: How To Regulate Ai And Other Expert Methods For Use In Criminal Investigations And Proceedings, Rebecca Wexler

Faculty Scholarship

Should regulators set performance thresholds for AI tools used in the criminal legal system? This Article draws on U.S. evidence law for guidance. Its answer is ... don’t. Instead of gatekeeping with ex ante performance thresholds, regulators should require or incentivize metrics of reliability that can be clearly communicated to end-user decisionmakers.

Agency Fact-Making, Haiyun Damon-Feng

Articles

Modern administrative-law scholarship, theory, and doctrine generally conceptualize agencies as engaging in three primary functions: rulemaking, enforcement, and adjudication. This understanding of agencies has informed deep debates surrounding the power, independence, and constitutional legitimacy of the administrative state. But the prevailing account is incomplete. It overlooks a fourth core function of the administrative state: its fact-making, or epistemic, function. Across the administrative state, agencies create and disseminate information in ways that are uniquely comprehensive and uniquely powerful. Agencies’ epistemic outputs include the census generated by the Census Bureau, repositories of public-health information maintained by the Centers for Disease Control and …

The Federal Reserve’S Fiscal Agent Mandate And The Problem For Central Bank Independence, Lev Menand, Joshua Younger

Faculty Scholarship

The Federal Reserve is among the most powerful organs of government. It is tasked primarily with maintaining the growth of monetary and credit aggregates consistent with long-run maximum employment and price stability. This mandate is widely known and the subject of extensive public debate. But another mandate lies within the statute that is largely overlooked — to serve as fiscal agent of the United States. This distinct responsibility is older, and also important. This Article offers a comprehensive assessment of where the Fed’s two mandates overlap and occasionally sharply conflict: in the market for U.S. government debt. First, it identifies …

Poor Esg: Regressive Effects Of Climate Stewardship, Zohar Goshen, Assaf Hamdani, Alex Raskolnikov

Faculty Scholarship

The rise of inequality and global warming are the two ultimate challenges of our time. After decades of congressional failure to address climate change, the private sector has stepped in and adopted a set of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) policies as a market-based solution to a public policy failure. ESG advocates hope that corporate executives would save our planet. Where Congress failed, ESG will succeed.

This Article argues that if ESG-driven climate stewardship ever achieves the scale necessary to have a real impact on global warming, it will hurt the poor. Legislative interventions to combat climate change are nearly …

Tear Down The Wall: Why Requiring The Fda And The Pto To Share Information Will Improve The Decision-Making Of Both Agencies, Robin C. Feldman, Gideon Schor

Faculty Scholarship

An invisible wall separates the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO). This wall blocks inter-agency communication, depriving the PTO of information relevant to patent applications and depriving the FDA of information relevant to drug-approval applications. Consequently, it is too easy for a drug company to tell the PTO ‘our drug is new’ (in hopes of speeding a patent grant) while telling the FDA ‘our drug is not new’ (in hopes of speeding drug approval). Better communication between the FDA and PTO would increase agency accuracy by preventing inconsistent representations, and would increase …
