Law and Economics in the Legal Academy, Or, What I Should Have Said to Discipulus
Is there a future for law and economics scholarship within the legal academy that does not involve formal modelling? To reach a positive answer to this question, I provide a brief sketch of the development of the subdiscipline, showing how, in the most recent period, the dominance of economists, working with their own agenda and career motivations, has created obstacles for the dissemination of law and economics within the legal academy and to le…
Curbing Consumer Financial Losses
This article deals with the question of how a high level of compliance with consumer protection legislation designed to prevent financial losses can be secured. We use a theoretical framework based on economic analysis of law to address some of the key policy options, such as proactive and reactive monitoring, providing officials with postdetection enforcement discretion, administrative, civil, and criminal sanctions, and facilitating actions by …
Corruption and Regulatory Structures
The methods of constraining corruption typically adopted in Western industrialized societies, increasing the transparency and accountability of decision‐making, and intensifying the enforcement of criminal justice prohibitions, have not always proved to be effective in developing countries. This is not surprising, given that in many of them the resources available for law enforcement are relatively modest, and corruption is deeply embedded cultur…
Regulatory Institutions And Structures
This article presents a legal perspective on regulatory institutions, procedures and processes. Analysis of legal instruments examines justifications for regulatory interventions, and considers the inadequacies of private law remedies to instances of market failure (such as monopolies, inadequate or asymmetric information, externalities and co–ordination problems). A distinction is drawn between social and economic regulation: the former deals wi…
Competition Between National Legal Systems
Three main tasks can be identified for comparative law. The first is to investigate differences between legal systems and, in particular, to distinguish between “real” differences, where the outcomes of the application of principles diverge between legal systems, and “superficial” differences, where similar outcomes are masked by the conceptual structures of the relevant systems. The second is to trace developments in the relationships between le…
Evaluating alternative regulatory regimes
Corrective Taxes and Financial Impositions as Regulatory Instruments
Rational’social Regulation and Compliance Cost Assessment
Since 1985 the UK government has promoted the use of compliance cost assessment (CCA) in order to quantify the impact on business of proposed new regulations. The strategy has arisen in response to a perception that there has been a tendency to overregulate, and it currently forms part of a wider deregulation initiative. The paper reviews this development, contrasting it with the use of regulatory impact assessment in the US and examining the ext…
Law and Economics in the United Kingdom
My allotted task is to review the development of law and economics in the United Kingdom and, in particular, the role played in that development by the Centre for Socio-Legal Studies. The context in which I undertake this task is a sad one. As a consequence of the transfer of responsibility for the centre from the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) to Oxford University, there has been a substantial reduction in the number of fully funded…
Toeing the Line
This paper sets out the background and operation of the compliance cost assessment (CCA) procedure currently used in British Government and the objectives of a research project which aims to investigate it. A product of the general drive to deregulate, CCAs are designed to assess the potential impact on business costs of proposed regulations. The article outlines an initial set of questions which relate both to the philosophy and intended purpose…
