The economic literature agrees that Brexit entails an economic loss for both the UK and the EU, but more so for the former, whose GDP is likely to incur a one-time 5 to 7% drop (not counting the Corona effect). These economic losses would be part of the price the UK would have to pay for the restoration of its full sovereignty in matters of international trade in the event of a hard Brexit. When the UK entered the EU in 1973, it cannot have been unaware of the ECJ being an atypical court and a motor of European integration, but its increasing uneasiness with the ECJ accumulating “super-constitutional” powers is also understandable. That the UK government now declares any form of ECJ involvement in the future legal relations with the Union a “red line” (a line that is also extended to the ECHR in police and judicial matters) is out of proportion but may indeed hinder a substantial agreement on important issues.","PeriodicalId":231496,"journal":{"name":"LSN: Law & Economics: Public Law (Topic)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129162338","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The Legal Envelope Theorem","authors":"D. Weisbach, Daniel Hemel","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.3725155","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3725155","url":null,"abstract":"Non-tax legal rules regulating the workplace, the financial sector, real property, and many other areas affect the ability of governments to collect revenues and provide public goods. Yet tax-collection considerations rarely enter into economic analyses of non-tax legal rules. Usually, tax-collection concerns are shunted aside to separate studies (and separate law-school courses) rather than being integrated into debates in non-tax spheres. This separation between non-tax legal rules and tax-collection considerations bears significant negative consequences for the ability of law and economics to generate descriptively accurate and normatively attractive accounts of important non-tax legal questions. \u0000 \u0000This Article takes a step toward remedying that oversight. We present an analytic framework for understanding the interaction between non-tax legal rules and tax collection. This framework—which we call the Legal Envelope Theorem—demonstrates that legal rules should systematically deviate from simple notions of efficiency to take stock of tax effects. We then provide a series of examples applying the Legal Envelope Theorem, illustrating how the non-tax legal system ought to be (and, on occasion, actually is) designed with tax effects in mind. These examples range from parental-leave mandates to bank capital requirements to centuries-old property and contract rules regularly taught in introductory law-school courses. We illustrate how a framework that is attentive to tax-collection considerations can enhance the government’s capacity to redistribute resources and address wealth inequality.","PeriodicalId":231496,"journal":{"name":"LSN: Law & Economics: Public Law (Topic)","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115916736","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the United Kingdom (UK) now no longer part of the European Union (EU), in addition to the manner in which COVID-19 is being addressed across the UK, new debates have arisen concerning Scotland’s future. This article will address two aspects of this matter. The first is the applicable law to Scotland becoming an independent state. The second is the economic impact of Scotland becoming an independent state. The key components of constitutional and international law will be distilled to provide an appreciation of the legal context in which the economic factors would likely play out, should Scotland choose to become an independent state. The article then analyses the macroeconomic impact of new states, the findings of which are applied to the Scottish context. The article provides a new insight into the legal and economic implications of the Scottish independence debate, in particular the interdependency between legality and economic stability for Scotland and the UK.","PeriodicalId":231496,"journal":{"name":"LSN: Law & Economics: Public Law (Topic)","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121561197","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The organizer must choose \u0000prizes and an enforcement regime defined as a limit on how much aggressiveness will be \u0000tolerated and the probability of inspection. The results are interesting. The optimal contest \u0000design leads the organizer to tolerate more aggressiveness than the level that minimizes it. \u0000The less accurate inspection measures associate with less tolerance on aggressive behavior and \u0000the zero-tolerance policy can be optimal if the aggressive behavior is valueless. Furthermore, \u0000when the value of contestants’ output is low it may be optimal to motivate much less effort \u0000than first best, because the prize spread necessary to induce higher effort necessitates a high \u0000level of enforcement, which is not worth the cost. When the value of output is sufficiently high \u0000it becomes optimal to offer a high prize spread to motivate effort that is substantial but still \u0000below first-best, with costly enforcement then being employed to constrain damaging actions.","PeriodicalId":231496,"journal":{"name":"LSN: Law & Economics: Public Law (Topic)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129273201","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

International Financial Regulation: Why it Still Falls Short 国际金融监管:为何仍有不足

White","doi":"10.36687/inetwp131","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.36687/inetwp131","url":null,"abstract":"While recent reforms are welcome in many ways, there are still significant reasons to doubt that the post-crisis tightening of international financial regulation guarantees future financial and economic stability. The most important reason is that the reforms have focused too narrowly on ensuring that an unstable financial sector will not aggravate downturns by restricting the supply of credit. More attention needs to be paid to ensuring that an overly exuberant financial system does not weaken other parts of the economy by encouraging a rapid buildup of debt during upturns. Some combination of time-varying monetary and regulatory policies (a macrofinancial stability framework) will be required to do this. In addition, many of the individual regulatory measures taken to date, both macroprudential and microprudential, have shortcomings. Their coherence as a package has also been questioned.","PeriodicalId":231496,"journal":{"name":"LSN: Law & Economics: Public Law (Topic)","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127490023","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Zero-Based Regulation 从零开始的监管

The idea behind ZBB is simple: require that all expenditures be justified anew each period. There is no assumption that spending set at a particular level in a previous year means the same level of spending or more spending will be authorized the next period. Instead, a zero-base is the relevant baseline from which spending levels are set during the budgeting process. This chapter discusses a counterpart to ZBB in the regulatory sphere, namely zero-based regulation (ZBR). The idea behind ZBR is that regulations must periodically be justified anew, just as spending authorizations are periodically reevaluated under ZBB. A ZBR system will have two central pillars: sunset provisions and regulatory impact analysis requirements. Sunset provisions are automatic expiration dates built into regulations. These trigger reevaluation of rules and ensure the default is that rules go away, i.e., return to zero. Regulatory impact analysis requirements, meanwhile, are a form of economic analysis, which can be used as a means to rank and prioritize regulations according to their effectiveness. Taken together, these reforms have the potential to reduce costs substantially while also improving regulatory efficiency.","PeriodicalId":231496,"journal":{"name":"LSN: Law & Economics: Public Law (Topic)","volume":"97 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131210608","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Not only does the legal system frequently and appropriately use probabilistic conceptions of causation when engaged in ex ante rule generation (as opposed to rule application), but probabilistic conceptions of causation also play a substantial role even in the ex post application of legal rules.","PeriodicalId":231496,"journal":{"name":"LSN: Law & Economics: Public Law (Topic)","volume":"105 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115789243","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A common view among tax law scholars is that tax deductions are required to properly measure income. I present an alternative theory of tax deductions, relying on standard economic efficiency grounds. I develop a model which highlights the fact that economic activities have costs and benefits, but an income tax system taxes only some of those benefits. The efficient deduction rule allows the deduction of a share of the cost equal to the share of the benefit that is taxed. I also show that the deadweight loss due to a departure from the efficient deduction rule increases quadratically with the departure, making larger departures from the rule much more costly than smaller ones. I then review various tax deduction rules in the Internal Revenue Code, analyzing each rule under the two theories of tax deductions, and demonstrating that the efficiency theory is useful both for teaching tax deductions and as a guide to optimal tax policy.","PeriodicalId":231496,"journal":{"name":"LSN: Law & Economics: Public Law (Topic)","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116954901","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
