This paper analyses lawyer's choices of law in international sales contracts. It identifies key reasons for opting in or out of the CISG across different jurisdictions. The paper then examines aspects of this choice from economic and psychological perspectives: from the ability to externalize...

In this paper we provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a Cournot equilibrium when demand is rho-linear and firms are identical and produce under constant returns to scale. We focus on inelastic and convex demand which yields non concave profit functions.We show that...
