  • predatory pricing strategic theory and Legal Policy
    1999
    Co-Authors: Patrick Bolton, Joseph F. Brodley, Michael H. Riordan
    Abstract:

    This paper proposes a new Legal rule on predatory pricing based on strategic analysis. The Supreme Court's decision in Brooke with its emphasis on closely analyzing the scheme of predation and recoupment calls for such an analysis. At the same time economic development over the last 20 years of a rigorous analysis of predatory pricing provides the tools required to achieve a more effective Legal Policy. Economics can now explain when predation can be rational, or in Brooke's terms when it can enable profitable recoupment, casting new light on earlier examples of predatory pricing. The further challenge for Legal analysis is to develop workable Legal rules to guide enforcement agency Policy and judicial decisions. To accomplish this we propose a structured rule of reason, including a fully specified efficiencies defense. Under such an approach enforcement would focus on cases where market structure and conduct makes predation plausible and where anticompetitive effects have occurred, or are dangerously probable. Equally important, the finding of predation would be subject to an efficiencies justification where below-cost pricing is necessary to achieve significant efficiencies, including dynamic efficiencies.

  • the chief justice as executive judicial conference committee appointments
    2014
    Co-Authors: Dawn M Chutkow
    Abstract:

    AbstractThis article is the first comprehensive empirical study of chief justice appointments to the Judicial Conference committees of the US Courts, entities with influence over substantive public and Legal Policy. Using a newly created database of all judges appointed to serve on Judicial Conference committees between 1986 and 2012, the results indicate that a judge’s partisan alignment with the chief justice matters, as do personal characteristics such as race, experience on the bench, and court level. These results support claims that Judicial Conference committee selection, membership, and participation may present a vehicle for advancing the chief justice’s individual political and Policy interests.

  • the high cost of freedom a Legal and Policy analysis of shelter detention for victims of trafficking
    2010
    Co-Authors: Anne Gallagher, Elaine Pearson
    Abstract:

    In countries around the world it is common practice for victims of human trafficking who have been rescued or who have escaped from situations of exploitation to be placed and detained in public or private shelters. In the most egregious situations, victims can be effectively imprisoned in such shelters for months, even years. The article, a revised and updated version of a study released by ARTIP in 2008, uses field-based research to document this largely unreported phenomenon. It then considers the international Legal aspects of victim detention in shelters, and weighs up the common justifications for such detention from Legal, Policy and practical perspectives.

    2010
    Co-Authors: Anne Gallagher, Elaine Pearson
    Abstract:

    In countries around the world it is common practice for victims of human trafficking who have been "rescued" or who have escaped from situations of exploitation to be placed and detained in public or private shelters. In the most egregious situations, victims can be effectively imprisoned in such shelters for months, even years. This article uses field-based research to document this largely unreported phenomenon. It then considers the international Legal aspects of victim detention in shelters and weighs the common justifications for such detention from Legal, Policy, and practical perspectives.
