INTRODUCTION 1. I have been asked by counsel for Beverly Adkins, Charmaine Williams, Rebecca Pettway, Rubbie McCoy, and William Young, on behalf of themselves and all others similarly situated, (“Plaintiffs”) to analyze Plaintiffs’ claims that Morgan Stanley’s loan purchasing, pooling, and securitization policies adversely impacted African-American borrowers. I have reviewed the Complaint for this case filed October 15, 2012 in the Southern District of New York.1 This and other materials that I rely upon in forming my opinions are listed in Appendix 1. 2. Plaintiffs allege that Morgan Stanley discriminated against African-American borrowers through its policies with respect to its orchestration of mortgages originated by New Century Mortgage Company (“New Century”). More specifically, plaintiffs have alleged that Morgan Stanley “effectively dictated the types of loans that New Century issued, requiring as a condition of the companies’ lucrative business relationship that a large percentage of New Century’s loans have certain dangerous characteristics.”2 These loans were especially hazardous to borrowers due to their combination of multiple high-risk features.3 Counsel for plaintiffs have asked me to examine whether these loans with multiple high-risk features were more likely to have been imposed on African-American borrowers than white borrowers. These allegations have been brought pursuant to the Fair Housing Act (FHA).4 3. Plaintiffs have brought an action on behalf of the following class: “All African- American individuals who, between 2004 and 2007, resided in the Detroit region (as defined 1 Class Action Complaint, Adkins v. Morgan Stanley, No. 1:12-cv-7667-HB (S.D. N.Y.) [hereinafter Complaint]. 2 Id. ¶2. 3 Id. ¶3. 4 Id. ¶¶8, 236-273. Plaintiffs originally brought claims under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) and Michigan’s Elliot-Larsen Civil Rights Act (ELCRA), but the Court granted Defendant’s motion to dismiss the ECOA and ELCRA claims. Opinion & Order, Adkins v. Morgan Stanley, No. 1:12-cv-7667-HB (S.D. N.Y.) (July 25, 2013). Case 1:12-cv-07667-VEC-GWG Document 187-84 Filed 10/23/14 Page 6 of 181 -5- herein) and received Combined-Risk Loans from New Century”5 (hereinafter referred to as the “Class” or “Class Members”). A “Combined-Risk Loan” is defined in the Complaint as a loan that meets “the definition of high-cost loan under HMDA and also contain two or more of the following high-risk terms: (a) the loan was issued based upon the ‘stated income,’ rather than the verified income, of the borrower; (b) the debt-to-income ratio exceeds 55%; (c) the loan-to-value ratio exceeds or equals 90%; (d) the loan has an adjustable interest rate; (e) the loan has ‘interest only’ payment features; (f) the loan has negative loan amortization features; (g) the loan has ‘balloon’ payment features; and/or (h) the loan imposes prepayment penalties.”6 The “Detroit region” is defined as the nine counties

INTRODUCTION Is American democracy sick? If so, what ails it? More importantly, can the disease be cured? Can its symptoms be alleviated by imaginative and well-crafted laws? Or is it a genetic disorder embedded in the DNA of modem representative government and thus unlikely to yield to therapeutic manipulation? In recent years, advocates of increased campaign finance regulation have often expressed the view that our democracy is indeed pitifully ill, that it has fallen prey to an inert citizenry and the pervasive and undue influence of money.' Reformers implicitly believe, however, that the disease is t John S. Shannon Distinguished Professor and Class of 1963 Research Professor, University of Virginia Law School.

  • An Economic Theory of Information Escrows
    An Economic Theory of Information Escrows Ian Ayres* and Cait Unkovic** A variety of information escrows – including allegation escrows, suspicion escrows and shared-interest escrows – hold the promise of reducing the first-mover disadvantage that can deter people with socially valuable private information from disclosing that information to others. Information escrows allow people to transmit sensitive information to a trusted intermediary, the escrow agent, who only forwards the information under pre-specified conditions. For example, an allegation escrow for sexual harassment might allow a victim to place a private complaint into escrow with instructions that the complaint will only be lodged with the proper authorities if the escrow agent receives allegations against the same individual by at least one other claimant. We assess the benefits and costs of allegation escrows and discuss how they might be applied to a variety of claims – including sexual harassment, adultery, corporate and public whistle-blowing, and physician reporting of negative drug reactions. We also show how analogous “shared-interest escrows” might be used in workplace dating and adoption contexts to facilitate the discovery of parties’ mutual interest where unintermediated expressions of interest might themselves be harassing. *[email protected] Townsend Professor, Yale Law School. **[email protected] Student, Jurisprudence and Social Policy, University of California Berkeley.

  • Seeing Significance
    Seeing Significance: Is the 95% Probability Range Easier to Perceive? Ian Ayres, Antonia Ayres-Brown & Henry Ayres-Brown Abstract: In this study, we find that people are able to make better estimates of the 90% and 95% centered probability ranges of a normal distribution than either larger or smaller probability ranges. The 90% and 95% probability ranges correspond to the interval in which the normal probability density function displays the most convex curvature. As a result, people may have a cognitive predisposition toward more accurate casual estimates of the 90% or 95% ranges, perhaps because they have an easier time perceiving relatively kinked points in a probability distribution. The traditional 5% standard for statistical significance often attributed to Ronald Fisher (1925), has been criticized as arbitrary. But it may be easier for us to cognitively distinguish the 5 (or 10) percent tails than other potential standards of statistical significance. We surveyed passersby at two Connecticut universities (Quinnipiac and Yale) to test their ability to estimate various probability ranges for height in adult females in the United States. Subjects were told the average adult woman’s height (5’4”) and were asked to estimate one of 5 probability ranges centered at the mean height – the 50%, 75%, 90%, 95%, and 99% range. The 50%, 75%, and 99% responses were not only less accurate, but were biased toward the true 90%/95% ranges. Our result suggests that indirect questioning may at times be more valuable than direct questioning. Words: 4600 Heidee Stoller provided excellent research assistance.

    The University of Chicago Law Review Volume 73 Fall 2006 Number 4 © 2006 by The University of Chicago The Secret Refund Booth Bruce Ackermant & Ian Ayrestf In Voting with Dollars,' we urged progressives to move beyond the tired mantras of the campaign reform movement- including the holy-of-holies that demands mandatory publicity for all contributions. Though its appeal to transparency is attractive, mandatory publicity promises much more than it delivers. To be sure, it enables the general public to learn who contributed how much to whom by consulting the information provided by the Fed- eral Elections Commission (FEC). But very few ordinary people take advantage of this opportunity. Mandatory publicity provides transpar- ency in name only (TINO, rhymes with RINO2) -informational equal- ity is provided de jure, but not de facto, and that's a big difference. At the same time, TINO does nothing to change each candidate's information about her own contributor base. Though constituents may remain ignorant, Candidate Sarah Smith is perfectly aware that John Doe has just given her X thousand dollars, and she remains free to reciprocate by advocating positions that are in Doe's interests.
