摘要

传统的比较私法学者对几个国家的法律掌握得很好,但对一百多个国家的法律掌握得很少。定量比较私法学者已经将几十个国家放入一个法律家谱中,但这并不是基于对世界各地法律实质的系统理解。我们使用129个司法管辖区的108个财产原则(转化为170个二元变量)的独特手工编码数据集,运行有监督和无监督的机器学习算法。我们的一些发现证实了传统观点:法国和德国的物权法很有影响力;南非和苏格兰这样的混合司法管辖区是独一无二的;普通法司法管辖区形成了自己的群体;以俄罗斯为首的几个前社会主义国家聚集在一起。然而,与先前的文献不同的是,我们没有发现东亚司法管辖区需要一个自己的类别;而是属于遥远的群体。西班牙和许多拉丁美洲国家组成了一个单独的集团。我们没有找到一个明确的普通法与民法的划分,而是观察到法国启发的群体是一个超级集群,与其他司法管辖区分开。

Drawing the Legal Family Tree: An Empirical Comparative Study of 170 Dimensions of Property Law in 129 Jurisdictions
Traditional comparative private law scholars have a firm grasp of laws in several countries, but rarely of those in more than one hundred countries. Quantitative comparative private law scholars have placed dozens of countries into a legal family genealogy, but not based on a systematic understanding of legal substance around the world. Using a unique, hand-coded data set on 108 property doctrines (transformed into 170 binary variables) in 129 jurisdictions, we ran supervised and unsupervised machine-learning algorithms. Some of our findings confirm the conventional wisdom: French and German property laws are influential; mixed jurisdictions like South Africa and Scotland are one of a kind; common law jurisdictions form a group of their own; and a handful of formerly socialist countries, led by Russia, cluster together. Unlike the prior literature, however, we do not find that East Asian jurisdictions warrant a category of their own; but belong to distant groups. Spain and many Latin American countries form a separate group. Rather than finding a clear-cut common versus civil law division, we observe that the France-inspired group is one supercluster, separate from other jurisdictions.
