JUNE 13 – 17 PROF. ADAM CHILTON, UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO LAW SCHOOL

The Law & Economic International Trade Law

of

This course focuses on the law governing international trade. It will specifically focus on the laws established by the World Trade Organization. This will include analysis of the treaties, regulations, and case law that govern international trade. This will include discussing the basic principles governing trade law, as well as the trade laws governing intellectual property, environmental regulation, food safety, trade in services, and technical standards. The course will also specifically examine the economic rational beyond the international trade law. Adam Chilton is an assistant professor at the University of Chicago Law School. Adam’s research interests lie at the intersection of empirical legal studies and international law. His current research projects examine the ways that political considerations affect the United States' international trade and investment policy; whether enshrining rights within constitutions improves the protection of those rights; how antitrust law is enforced around the world; and how experimental methods can be used to study whether domestic politics influence compliance with international law. Adam received a BA and MA in Political Science from Yale University. After college, Adam worked as a management consultant for BCG. He then went to Harvard University, where he earned a JD as well as a PhD in Political Science.

JUNE 20 - 24 PROF. F. ANDREW HANSSEN, CLEMSON UNIVERSITY

The Economics of Institutions and Organizations This course is intended to provide students with an introduction to the large and growing literature on the economics of institutions and organizations. Economists are in near-unanimous agreement that institutions such as legal regimes that provide adequate protection to property rights are essential to a society’s material success. But where do institutions come from and what promotes their effectiveness and survival in some circumstances but not in others? We will also explore the organization known as “the firm,” investigating questions involving the boundaries of the firm and the nature of contracting – a branch of literature known as the “theory of the firm.” What differentiates the firm from the market and can a line between firm and market ever be clearly drawn? We will tie things together by examining a very successful pre-modern society that employed institutions and organizations that were both similar to and different from those employed today: ancient Greece. F. Andrew Hanssen is a professor in the John E. Walker Department of Economics at Clemson University. His areas of research include institutions, law and economics, political economy, and industrial organization. He has published articles in a number of refereed journals, including the American Economic Review; the Journal of Law and Economics; the Journal of Law, Economics, and Organization; and the Journal of Legal Studies. Several of his articles have been republished in books, and he has also published a number of book chapters and monographs. He is associate editor of the International Review of Law and Economics and is on the editorial board of Social Science Quarterly. He spent the 2007-08 academic year as a visiting economist at the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice, and was a National Fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution in 2000-01. He received a B.A. and M.A. from Johns Hopkins University, and an MBA and Ph.D. from the University of Chicago. Before getting a Ph.D., he was a management consultant, working in Europe, Latin America, and the Far East. He joined the Clemson faculty in 2010, after holding positions at Montana State University and Colby College.

JUNE 27 - 28 PROF. HANNES RÖSLER, LL.M. (HARVARD), UNIVERSITY OF SIEGEN

GERMAN LAW INTRODUCTION



A

COMPARATIVE

The course aims to provide students with an understanding of the German Basic Law, court procedure, legal reasoning and argumentation, as well as an understanding of the basic features of German private law. This course consists of three parts: (1.) constitutional law and criminal law, (2.) Germany as a civil law country and (3.) German contract and tort law. The lectures illustrate the origins, structure, practice and mentality of German law. Further emphasis is on the differences to other legal systems and the relationship to European Union law. The course is accompanied by a guided tour through the library of the Max Planck Institute for Comparative and International Private Law and by a guided tour through Hamburg town hall (times t.b.a.). The course will take place at the Max Planck Institute for Comparative and International Private Law, Mittelweg 187. Hannes Rösler is a professor for civil law, international private law and comparative law at the University of Siegen, Germany. He is a former Senior Research Fellow at the Max Planck Institute in Hamburg. Rösler has published numerous articles on German and European private and public law in several languages. Prior to entering the Max Planck Institute, he was a Research Assistant at the Institute for Comparative Law in Marburg and a law clerk in Frankfurt am Main. Rösler received a doctorate in 2003 for his book on European consumer law from Marburg University, where he graduated in 1998, following one year of studies at the London School of Economics. In 2004 he received a Master from Harvard Law School. Rösler finished his post-doctoral thesis (Habilitation) on the European Court of Justice and European private law at the University of Hamburg in 2012. He has held interim professorships at the Universities of Freiburg, Bonn and Frankfurt an der Oder. He also held visiting positions abroad, i.a., at Oxford University, New York University, University of Cambridge, as well as universities in France, Italy, Turkey, Brazil, China and Japan.

JULY 04 – 08 PROF. DR. TIM KRIEGER, ALBERT-LUDWIGSUNIVERSITÄT FREIBURG

The Economics of Terrorism and Counterterrorism The recent terrorist attacks in Europe and the following public responses have shown that a thorough understanding of the root causes of terrorism is vital to find appropriate counter-measures against this threat. In this course, we approach terrorism and counter-terrorism from an economics perspective. Specifically, we discuss the advantages and limitations of rational-choice theory as a means to explain terrorism and derive recommendations regarding counter-terrorism measures. While rationalchoice theory is both a meaningful and practical method for this task, it nevertheless comes with several limitations. Therefore, we extend the analytical framework by applying behavioral and institutional models of terrorist actions and public responses as well. Furthermore, we carefully explain the steps from theory to testable hypotheses and empirical models in recent terrorism research, thereby discussing, among other things, data issues and the choice of appropriate empirical models (esp., the negative binomial regression model). Tim Krieger is since 2012 Wilfried Guth Professor of Constitutional Political Economy and Competition Policy at Albert-Ludwigs-University Freiburg. He holds a master degree in empirical economics from the University of Kiel, Germany, and received his Ph.D. in economics from the University of Munich, Germany. He worked an assistant or visiting professor at the Universities of Mainz, Marburg and Paderborn, Germany. He works mainly on economic, social and education policies in aging and globalizing societies with a special focus on the conflict-economic dimension of these developments. In addition, he is specialized in the economics of terrorism and crime. In these fields, he has published in several scholarly journals in both economics and political science (including Journal of Public Economics, Journal of Conflict Resolution and Journal of Peace Research).
