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{Wulf2015, author = {Wulf, Alexander J.}, title = {Rechtskompetenz als Teil unternehmerischer F{\"u}hrungsqualit{\"a}t: Reformvorschl{\"a}ge f{\"u}r ein Studium des Rechts in den Wirtschaftswissenschaften}, series = {Zeitschrift f{\"u}r Didaktik der Rechtswissenschaft}, volume = {2}, journal = {Zeitschrift f{\"u}r Didaktik der Rechtswissenschaft}, number = {1}, pages = {20 -- 40}, year = {2015}, abstract = {Das Studium der Rechtswissenschaften ist als eigenst{\"a}ndiger Bestandteil in den meisten deutschen Studieng{\"a}ngen der Wirtschaftswissenschaft fest verankert.

I also test whether the CESL would be an effective measure for addressing some of the legal barriers that the Commission intends to overcome.

The objective of this article is to examine the contents and teaching methods generally employed in the law courses required for degrees in business and economics. As a rule both the contents and the teaching methods are adopted from degree courses for law students. However, to date there has been little discussion as to whether teaching procedures that have been developed for law students are also suitable for business and economics students. The article shows what problems can arise if course contents and teaching methods are adopted without reflection and without adapting them to the needs of the target group. This overview is then taken as a basis for a proposal as to how the content of law courses can be taught in a practice-oriented way, adapting and further developing the curricula that have proved suitable for law students to the needs of students of business and economics. The use of presentations of the legal life cycle of business organisations and discussions of management case studies on legal problems as didactic models are introduced and practical teaching issues are discussed.

Legal scholars have increasingly begun to employ social science research methods in their attempts to provide answers to research questions in the field of law. The goal of empirical legal research is to make a contribution to all subjects and phenomena that are of interest to law and for which no methods have previously been available. The use of empirical methods in legal science can lead to results that cannot be achieved by the methods of traditional law research. The ultimate aim of the approach is to contribute to a systematic understanding of our legal system based on empirical data. In this article I give an overview of the development of empirical legal studies as an independent subfield of legal research, followed by an introduction to two popular studies to illustrate the potential and limitations of this new field of research. I then discuss some controversial topics such as the widespread view that empirical research is objective and value-free, the relevance of methodological problems and the problem of over-simplification of the complexity of legal issues.

We identify the independence of prosecution agencies from the other two branches of government as a centrally important characteristic and then proceed to analyze the determinants of de facto prosecutorial independence from a political economy perspective.
