the ihra definition s imprecision makes it a threat to free speech
2019Co-Authors: Rebecca Ruth GouldAbstract:On the untenable and unaccountable Legality of this definition, and the dangers it poses to free speech, minority rights, and democratic legitimacy. Summarizes some points in “Legal Form and Legal Legitimacy: The IHRA Definition of Antisemitism as a Case Study in Censored Speech,” Law, Culture and the Humanities (2018) but with additional reference to recent Legal opinions.

Legal Form and Legal legitimacy the ihra definition of antisemitism as a case study in censored speech
Law Culture and the Humanities, 2018Co-Authors: Rebecca Ruth GouldAbstract:The challenge posed by Legal indeterminacy to Legal legitimacy has generally been considered from points of view internal to the law and its application. But what becomes of Legal legitimacy when the Legal status of a given norm is itself a matter of contestation? This article, the first extended scholarly treatment of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA)’s new definition of antisemitism, pursues this question by examining recent applications of the IHRA definition within the UK following its adoption by the British government in 2016. Instead of focusing on this definition’s substantive content, I show how the document reaches beyond its self-described status as a “non-Legally binding working definition” and comes to function as what I call a quasi-law, in which capacity it exercises the de facto authority of the law, without having acquired Legal legitimacy. Broadly, this work elucidates the role of speech codes in restricting freedom of expression within liberal states.

Corporate Income Tax, Legal Form of Organization, and Employment
American Economic Journal: Macroeconomics, 2018Co-Authors: Daphne Chen, Shi Qi, Don E. SchlagenhaufAbstract:A dynamic stochastic occupational choice model with heterogeneous agents is developed to evaluate the impact of a corporate income tax reduction on employment. In this framework, the key margin is the endogenous entrepreneurial choice of the Legal Form of organization (LFO). A reduction in the corporate income tax burden encourages adoption of the C corporation Legal Form, which reduces capital constraints on firms. Improved capital re-allocation increases overall productive efficiency in the economy and therefore expands the labor market. Relative to the benchmark economy, a corporate income tax cut can reduce the non-employment rate by up to 7 percent.

the importance of Legal Form of organization on small corporation external financing
Economic Inquiry, 2016Co-Authors: Daphne ChenAbstract:This article quantitatively evaluates the impact of Legal Form of organization (LFO) choices, C versus S corporation, on small business external financing. A treatment effect model is Formulated and estimated to examine the relationship between corporate types and chances of obtaining external financing. The estimation takes into account self-selection bias associated with LFO choices. This article finds that LFO choices mainly affect small corporations' access to external equity capital, but have no significant impact on loan financing. Specifically, when a small corporation selects the C corporate Legal Form, the probability of obtaining new external equity is eight times higher compared to when it selects the S corporate Legal Form. Furthermore, the results suggest that better access to external equity investments, loosening business capital constraints, leads to better growth prospects for small C corporations. These empirical results have important macro-economic implications on corporate financial and fiscal policies. (JEL G32, G38)

corporate income tax Legal Form of organization and employment
Research Papers in Economics, 2014Co-Authors: Daphne Chen, Don E. SchlagenhaufAbstract:We adopt a dynamic stochastic occupational choice model with heterogeneous agents and evaluate the impact of a potential reduction in the corporate income tax on employment. We show that a reduction in corporate income tax leads to moderate job creation. In the extreme case, the elimination of the corporate income tax would reduce the non-employed population by 5.4 percent. In the model, a reduction in the corporate income tax creates jobs through two channels, one from new entry firms and one from existing firms changing their Form of Legal organization. In particular, the latter accounts for 85.7 percent of the new jobs created.

the endogeneity of Legal regulation grievance procedures as rational myth
American Journal of Sociology, 1999Co-Authors: Lauren B Edelman, Christopher Uggen, Howard S ErlangerAbstract:Most accounts of organizations and law treat law as largely exogenous and emphasize organizations' responses to law. This study proposes a model of endogeneity among organizations, the professions, and Legal institutions. It suggests that organizations and the professions strive to construct rational responses to law, enabled by "rational myths" or stories about appropriate solutions that are themselves modeled after the public Legal order. Courts, in turn, recognize and legitimate organizational structures that mimic the Legal Form, thus conferring Legal and market benefits upon organizational structures that began as gestures of compliance. Thus, market rationality can follow from rationalized myths: the professions promote a particular compliance strategy, organizations adopt this strategy to reduce costs and symbolize compliance, and courts adjust judicial constructions of fairness to include these emerging organizational practices. To illustrate this model, a case study of equal employment opportunit...
