    LAW AND ECONOMICS SEMINAR Professor Polinsky Autumn Quarter 2016 Thursday, October 6, 2016 4:15 - 5:45 p.m. Stanford Law School Room 320D “Personalizing Negligence Law” by Ariel Porat (The Buchmann Faculty of Law, Tel Aviv University; Visiting Professor, Stanford Law School) Note: It is expected that you will have reviewed the speaker’s paper before the seminar. Since this paper is longer than usual, the author was asked to provide a “reader’s guide” to it. Here is his response: “If you are short of time, it would be enough to read for the workshop pp. 627-36, 646-56, 659-68, 686-88. Also, please take a quick look at pp. 674-86. Looking forward to discussing this paper with you (which is part of a larger project).” \\jciprod01\productn\N\NYU\91-3\NYU303.txt unknown Seq: 1 30-JUN-16 14:43 PERSONALIZING NEGLIGENCE LAW OMRI BEN-SHAHAR† & ARIEL PORAT‡ The most fundamental feature of negligence law is the “reasonable person” stan- dard. This feature bases negligence law on a strictly objective foundation: It requires people to behave in the prudent way that, as Holmes explained, the ordi- nary, typical member of their community observes. In this Article we argue that with the increasing availability of information about actors’ characteristics, negli- gence law should give up much of its objectivity by allowing courts to “subjectify” the standard of care—that is, to tailor it to the specific injurer’s tendency to create risks and his or her ability to reduce them. We discuss the effects of this personal- ization of the standard of care on injurers’ and victims’ incentives to take care, injurers’ activity levels, and the injurers’ ex ante investments in improving their skills.
