Posted: December 6, 2010 Filed under: Guns, Law, Lawyers, Legal Systems, Supreme Court Leave a comment »“…mere judicial recognition of the existence of a right doesn’t necessarily lead to meaningful protection for it. Such protection is particularly unlikely when a substantial part of the judiciary (most liberal judges) is hostile to the very idea that this right deserves protection at all.”

Quality and the Commons: The Surf Gangs of California
Posted: January 20, 2010 Filed under: Anarchy, Commons, Endogenous Rules, Law, Legal Systems, Property Rights Leave a comment »Abstract
In open‐access settings, high‐quality resources are lucrative, yet fencing out potential entrants may be very costly. I examine the endogenous creation of property rights, focusing on the incentives that resource quality provides to close the commons. Analytical examples explore the incentives of locals to increase or decrease the strength of property rights conditional on how locals and nonlocals value the quality of the resource. The empirical analysis looks at a unique resource—surf breaks—and estimates the relationship between the exogenous quality of the resource (waves at the surf break) and local attempts to seize the common surf break. Using cross‐sectional data on 86 surf breaks along the southern California coast, this paper finds that a 10 percent increase in quality leads to a 7–17 percent increase in the strength of property rights.

Adam Smith Quote:
Posted: January 5, 2010 Filed under: Favorite Quotes, Free markets, Law, Legal Systems, Regulation Leave a comment »“That system of laws, therefore, which is connected with the establishment of the bounty, seems to deserve no part of the praise which has been bestowed upon it…The natural effort of every individual to better his own condition, when suffered to exert itself with freedom and security, is so powerful a principle,that it is alone, and without any assistance, not only capable of carrying on the society to wealth and prosperity, but of surmounting a hundred impertinent obstructions with which the folly of human laws too often incumbers its operations; though the effect of these obstructions is always more or less either to encroach upon its freedom, or to diminish its security.” Book 5, Chapter 5
