In our statistical analysis we examined the legal situation of bouncing checks in three periods: before 2009 when the issuance of bad checks was subject to imprisonment, between 2009-2012 when a partial decriminalization took place and between 2012-2014 when the issuance of bouncing checks was fully decriminalized and penalties were reduced to only administrative fines. We test the hypotheses that partial or full decriminalization led to a rise in the number of bad checks in Turkey. We find that there is no statistical evidence for an association between the first, modest step of the decriminalization process (Law No. 5941) and the frequency with which checks bounced in Turkey. However, full decriminalization of bouncing checks (Law No. 6273) led to an increase in the frequency of bad checks. We also find that the establishment of a Risk Center by the Bank Association of Turkey helped to identify customers not worthy of credit and was successful in decreasing the frequency of bad checks. We conclude that in the case of Turkish check law imprisonment was more effective in deterring writers of bad checks than the administrative and civil sanctions that are now in place. Nonetheless, private credit screening efforts also promoted the targeted policy goal of limiting the number of bad checks in Turkey.}, language = {en} } @article{Baumgaertner2007, author = {Baumg{\"a}rtner, Alex}, title = {Anmerkung zur Entscheidung des EuGH vom 26.10.2006, Rs.

Mock jurors considered a trial online which varied the presence a nullification instructions, whether the trial raised issues of the law's fairness (murder for profit vs. euthanasia), and emotionally biasing information (that affected jurors' liking for the victim).

It examines how the level of innovation can remain high despite a free exchange of intellectual property - fashion designs - within the industry: The importance of innovation for a fashion business in the industry is determined by the choice of it's competitive strategy. That is, either to be an innovator who creates fashion innovations or to be an imitator who adopts them once they have proven their ability to prevail in the market. The success of innovators depends largely on their ability to react to fashion trends, reinforced by the social role of fashion products and to the extent of their potential to confer status on the owner. Thus the duration of a temporary monopoly gained by an innovation is limited not only by the market entrance of imitators - a period of time that can be prolonged by making use of industrial property rights protection - but also by the constant changes in fashion, a process barely affected by the utilization of intellectual property rights protection. A monopoly maintained by using intellectual property rights might very well not extend the product life cycle beyond the limits posed by the shifting changes of fashion; moreover, an extended life cycle maintained in these circumstances could seriously limit the innovators agility in satisfying consumer demand in line with fashion trends and provoke an inappropriate allocation of resources to developing unfashionable innovations, resulting in a much greater risk of product failure.}, language = {en} } @article{Wulf2010, author = {Wulf, Alexander J.}, title = {Institutional Competition of Optional Codes in European Contract Law}, series = {NYU Association of Transnational Law Schools Agora}, journal = {NYU Association of Transnational Law Schools Agora}, pages = {1 -- 24}, year = {2010}, abstract = {Keine Angabe - No details}, language = {en} } @article{Wulf2014, author = {Wulf, Alexander J.}, title = {Institutional Competition of Optional Codes in European Contract Law}, series = {European Journal of Law and Economics}, volume = {38}, journal = {European Journal of Law and Economics}, number = {1}, pages = {139 -- 162}, year = {2014}, abstract = {The Common European Sales Law (CESL) is the European Commission's most recent policy initiative for European contract law.

I then describe how these transaction costs shape the competitive environment, i.e. what I refer to as the "European market for contract laws" in which the contracting parties choose a law to govern their cross-border contracts. Having identified this environment and the competitive forces operating within it, I propose a model, the "Cycle of European Contract Law".
