Abstract
The aim of this paper is to shed light on scholarly communication and its current trajectories by examining academics’ perception of Open Access, while also providing a reference case for studying social norm change. In this respect, the issue of publication choice and the role of Open Access journals casts light on the changes affecting the scientific community and its institutional arrangements for validating and circulating new research. The empirical investigation conducted also offers a useful vantage point for gauging the importance of localised social norms in guiding and constraining behaviour

Nuova pubblicazione di Giovanni B. RAMELLO (Aggregate Litigation and Regulatory Innovation: Another View of Judicial Efficiency)

RAMELLO Giovanni B. (2012), "Aggregate Litigation and Regulatory Innovation: Another View of Judicial Efficiency" n. 8 .
Codici J.E.L: K41, O31, G32, L23
Parole chiave: aggregate litigation, efficiency, market for risk, hierarchy, regulation, innovation, asbestos

Abstract
In this article, we argue that aggregate litigation and the court system can not only restore the protection of victims and the production of deterrence, but also play a pivotal role in stimulating regulatory innovation. This is accomplished through a reward system that seems largely to mimic the institutional devices used in other domains, such as intellectual property rights, by defining a proper set of incentives. Precisely the described solution relies on creating a specific economic framework able to foster economies of scale and grant a valuable property right over a specific litigation to an entrepreneurial individual, who in exchange provides the venture capital needed for the legal action, and produces inputs and focal points for amending regulations. In this light, aggregate litigation thus can be equally seen as an incubator for regulation.
