The taste for insider trading law

Steve Bainbridge responds to my post about insider trading as compensation with a suggestion that rules against insider trading are an example of a case “where mandatory rules are appropriate.” I was about to sputter about laws against insider trading are really about property rights, and surely property should be alienable — right?  And about ...

AALS Financial Institutions Section Call for Papers

Rubber Hits Road: Implementing Dodd-Frank amid Reform Fatigue This program will take place one and a half years after the Dodd-Frank Act was signed into law.

Where have all the lawyers gone: working for hedge funds every one

Dan Fisher discusses how Ecuadorean villagers financed a pollution lawsuit against Chevron with money from a hedge fund, Burford Group.  This is yet another example of how lawyers are capitalizing and packaging their skills rather than just selling it by the hour to clients. Fisher discusses how the plaintiffs’ lawyer had gone through $6 million in financing ... Where have all the lawyers gone: working for hedge funds every one

Reckless Endangerment

I just finished reading Reckless Endangerment: How Outsized Ambition, Greed, and Corruption Led to Economic Armageddon by Gretchen Morgenson and Joshua Rosner.  I really enjoyed the book.  It reinforced my prejudices that the crash was caused by government policy overemphasizing home ownership and imposing inefficient goals on private lenders with respect to providing mortgages to ...

In Defense of Delaware’s Business Judgment Rule

In a recent Dealbook post, Steven M. Davidoff complains that Delaware’s business judgment rule is too lenient.  Davidoff contends that “[a] Delaware court is not going to find [directors] liable no matter how stupid their decisions are. Instead, a Delaware court will find them liable only if they intentionally acted wrongfully or were so oblivious ... In Defense of Delaware’s Business Judgment Rule

Note to (a few) commenters

Seems I need to write a post like this every once in a while. I really appreciate comments, particularly including when they disagree with the posts.  These comments are what distinguishes an interactive blog from a passive website.  I’m glad people are willing to take the time and effort to engage in the discussion.  The ...

Of Small Dealers and Worthy Men, South Korea Antitrust Edition

The South Korea Fair Trade Commission has begun an investigation of the Hyundai Motor Group surrounding allegations that Hyundai has, as the WSJ reports, “forced its auto parts suppliers to lower product prices.”   The story comes on the heels of a related fine of 1.6 trillion won ($1.48 billion).    What really jumps out in the ...

Taxing, spending and jurisdictional competition

Back in January Illinois raised corporate taxes to, as I said then, “try to bail Illinois out of the results of their fiscal profligacy.” But I added that raising taxes wouldn’t necessarily work “because of jurisdictional competition– there are many other places the would-be taxpayers can go.”  And that “the tax ‘solution’ will drive out ...

Manne on insider trading as compensation

Henry Manne has a new version of the arguments he’s been making for years for insider trading as an efficient compensation mechanism. It’s Entrepreneurship, Compensation, and the Corporation.  Here’s the abstract: This paper revisits the concept of entrepreneurship, which is frequently neglected in mainstream economics, and discusses the importance of defining and isolating this concept ...

Levin and Goldman

Pandering and scapegoating are not new activities for politicians, but Carl Levin has perfected these dark arts.  Most recently the Senator’s game has been to demonize Goldman, culminating in accusations that its ceo, Lloyd Blankfein, engaged in criminal behavior.  Per WaPo last April, Levin said federal prosecutors should review whether to bring perjury charges against ...
