Box 1738 3000 DR Rotterdam The Netherlands E-mail: [email protected] Phone: +31-(0)10-4082186 Director: Prof. Dr. Michael G. Faure LL.M. Vice-Director: Prof. Mr. Dr. Louis T. Visscher General Director (till 28 September 2018): Prof. Dr. Roger J. Van den Bergh RILE ACTIVITIES REPORT 2017-2018 3 Foreword We are proud to present the Activities Report of the Rotterdam Institute of Law and Economics (RILE) covering the years 2017 and 2018. Much has happened in these two years. The RILE participates in the research programme Behavioural Approaches to Contract and Tort (BACT), which received a substantial subsidy in the REI Excellence Initiative from the Board of Directors of Erasmus University Rotterdam. The RILE also participates in the new REI programme ‘Shifting from welfare to social investment states: privatization of work-related risk control’, which started in early 2017. On June 26, 2017, Sharon Oded held his inaugural lecture as Professor of Corporate Compliance and Enforcement. On October 27, 2017, Niels Philipsen held his inaugural lecture as professor of Shifts in Private and Public Regulation. Besides welcoming these two new professors, two other professors left the RILE in 2018. Roger Van den Bergh, founder of the RILE, retired and held his valedictory lecture on ‘The Roundabouts of European Law and Economics’ on September 28, 2018. Alessio Pacces was appointed professor in Law and Finance at the University of Amsterdam per October 1, 2018. The high quality research within BACT, which is carried out together with the Rotterdam Institute of Private Law (RIPL) and researchers from the Faculty of Social Sciences goes hand in hand with a high academic level in teaching. The European Master programme in Law and Economics (EMLE) was awarded the Erasmus Mundus recognition by the European Commission in 2004 and 2009. In 2014 the EMLE was included in the Erasmus+ Joint Master Degree Catalogue, the follow-up of Erasmus Mundus. In June 2018, the EMLE was again selected for Erasmus+, so for the fourth time in a row. New RILE teaching activities in 2017 and 2018 include the course Rechtseconomie voor mr.drs.-studenten (‘Law & Economics for students in the double bachelor and master programme in economics and law’) and the course ‘Economic Analysis of Private Law’ in the EMLE. 4 RILE ACTIVITIES REPORT 2017-2018 The European Doctorate programme in Law and Economics (EDLE), which is carried out together with the Universities of Bologna, Haifa and Hamburg and which was awarded the Erasmus Mundus label in 2009 as well, has seen many successful PhD defences. In 2017 and 2018, a total of sixteen PhD candidates from the EDLE defended their thesis, which brings the total number of defences since the EDLE started to 65. This report, which is prepared by the new RILE secretariat (Ipek Ören (management assistant) and Sanne Nordbjorn (secretary)), presents an overview of all teaching, research and related activities of the RILE. We are very proud of this impressive list of activities, which in the next years is likely to continue growing. We wish you pleasant reading.

  • Master of the Science of Law
    TO CONCUR, OR NOT TO CONCUR: THAT IS THE QUESTION: THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL QUESTIONS REGARDING THE JUDICIAL INDEPENDENCE OF JUDGES APPOINTED TEMPORARILY TO THE ISRAELI SUPREME COURT A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE STANFORD PROGRAM IN INTERNATIONAL LEGAL STUDIES AT THE STANFORD LAW SCHOOL, STANFORD UNIVERSITY IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF THE SCIENCE OF LAW By Binyamin Blum © May 2006 Please do not cite without permission of author ABSTRACT In many democratic societies, judicial tenure is perceived to be an important safeguard for the judiciary’s independence. In Israel, although judicial tenure is secured under Basic Law: The Judiciary, the promotion of judges from Israel’s District Courts to the Supreme Court is usually preceded by a temporary appointment. In practice, this temporary appointment serves as a “probationary period” after which the judges are considered for the permanent position of Associate Justice. One of the important implications of this promotion system is that while serving on Israel’s highest court, temporarily appointed judges continue to depend on external forces to retain their offices. Therefore, I argue that from a theoretical standpoint, temporary appointments pose a substantial threat to the judicial independence of individual judges. Because of the significant role played by Supreme Court Justices in the appointment process, I identify the threat to judicial independence as primarily originating within the judiciary, rather than from other branches of government. The major objective of this study is to examine the degree to which the theoretical threat to internal judicial independence can be seen to materialize in the Israeli Supreme Court example.

  • Tragedy Or Triumph of the Commons? a Law Economics Answer
    Munich Personal RePEc Archive The relationship between common management and ecotourism development: tragedy or triumph of the commons? A Law Economics answer Samà, Danilo LUISS “Guido Carli” University, Law Economics LAB 2011 Online at https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/103328/ MPRA Paper No. 103328, posted 12 Oct 2020 20:50 UTC The Relationship between Common Management and Ecotourism Development: Tragedy or Triumph of the Commons? A Law and Economics Answer Danilo Samà* LUISS “Guido Carli” University of Rome Abstract Since its origin, ecotourism development has been at the centre of controversial and heated debates within the environmental and scientific society. On one hand, it has been considered as a model of responsible and sustainable tourism with the capacity to guarantee the conservation of the current biodiversity level and cultural identity, to educate the tourists about preservation and to improve the economic activity and the standard of living of the populations affected. On the other hand, it has been criticized for actually being a mere instrument in the hands of capitalist and western firms to commercially exploit the natural resources available in the less developed countries. Thus, are the ecotourism projects more likely to be profitable and successful in territories where the common resources are controlled by the state or managed by private firms? Considered the most frequent and spontaneous solution noticed in the ordinary daily life of the emerging countries, meaning natural resources owned communally by local institutions, does ecotourism impede or reinforce this management function of coordinating and controlling? The empirical researches conducted in literature tried to answer to some of the above-mentioned questions and offered the opportunity for a Law and Economics assessment of the problem related to the common-pool resources.

  • The Nexus Between Development and Security: Searching for Common Ground in Countering Terrorism
    The Nexus between Development and Security: Searching for Common Ground in Countering Terrorism Ivan Briscoe and Dr. Bibi van Ginkel ICCT Policy Brief March 2013 Abstract In recent years, only limited collaboration existed between the counter-terrorism community and the development sector. With the exception of some shared rhetoric on state-building and a common focus on an instrumental use of “development”, there has been more mistrust than cooperation, and civil-military exercises have repeatedly created grave problems for humanitarian workers. ICCT Research Fellow Dr. Bibi van Ginkel and Clingendael Senior Research Fellow Ivan Briscoe analyse the relationship between the development and counter-terrorism sectors in light of the changing nature of terrorism. The authors argue that there is a complex but important connection between political violence and socio-economic development and argue for new synergies between development and counter-terrorism experts. This increased cooperation should build on small steps that both communities have taken of late and start with sharing experiences and collaborating on topics of mutual interest such as (de-) radicalisation, the rule of law and countering violent extremism. About the Authors Ivan Briscoe is a Senior Research Fellow at the Netherlands Institute of International Relations ‘Clingendael’, where he works in governance at the Conflict Research Unit (CRU). A graduate in politics and philosophy, he subsequently specialized in the field of developing countries. He has worked as a journalist and newspaper editor in Latin America, France and Spain, and more recently as an expert in fragile states and conflict. Within CRU he specialises in the political economy of post-conflict countries, and has a regional focus on Latin America.

  • The Economics of Terrorism: an Empirical Investigation Into the Long-Run Effects of Terrorism on Economic Growth
    The Economics of Terrorism: An Empirical Investigation into the long-run Effects of Terrorism on Economic Growth Abdullah Farhad Terrorism has become an increasingly important topic following the attacks on the World Trade Centre in 2001. Following this incident, an array of literature has evaluated the effect of terrorism on various economic indicators; the most widely covered of these indicators being economic growth. We seek to build upon this existing literature to modernise the research on terrorism and long-run economic growth. We seek to estimate this relationship using regression analysis to investigate the question: Does terrorism have an adverse effect on long- run economic growth? Our results present some evidence of a long-run impact of terrorism on economic growth when excluding for time-effects, although these effects are not sustained into the next period. 1. Introduction Does terrorism have an adverse effect on economic growth? The answer may seem obvious seeing as the effects of an incidence can often be devastating. Terrorism may damage an economy through channels such as loss of human and physical capital, diversion of foreign direct investment (FDI), a resultant lack of tourism (see Enders et al, 1992; Drakon and Kutan, 2003) and lower government spending (e.g. Blomberg et al, 2004 henceforth BHO). In addition, there are often forgotten about negative impacts such as those on the stock market, which account for the economic losses sustained by an incident (see Chaudhuri and Sensarma, 2001). For instance, the 9/11 attacks had significant direct and indirect costs, estimated to be around $80-90 billion (Gaibulloev and Sandler, 2012).

  • Terrorism Financing, Recruitment and Attacks: Evidence from a Natural Experiment in Pakistan∗
    Terrorism Financing, Recruitment and Attacks: Evidence from a Natural Experiment in Pakistan∗ Nicola Limodioy August 2018 Abstract I investigate the relation between terrorism financing and attacks through a panel of 1,545 Pakistani cities and exogenous variation in a Sharia-compliant funding source. Cities exposed to higher terrorism financing experience more attacks, with organizations reacting to temporary financial inflows. Two methodological innovations further refine this finding. First, the effect of financing on attacks increases in terrorist recruitment, measured using dark-web data on Jihadist fora and machine-learning. Second, a novel city-organization variation allows: a) dissecting the demand and supply of terrorist attacks, with supply exclusively explaining these results; b) estimating the elasticity of terrorist attacks to financing (0.08).

Amongst the most criticized interventions are the Court’s rulings on military matters. These are so numerous that the Supreme Court is now considered to be the final authority on what the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) can do or not do in warfare. The origin of such a phenomenon is a progressive but clear “judicialization” of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
