In this article, I analyze the interaction between income tax competition and the multilateral trade regime.

CHAPTER 11'S RENEGOTIATION FRAMEWORK AND THE PURPOSE OF CORPORATE BANKRUPTCY |
120 Columbia Law Review 1709 (November, 2020) |
A fundamental question for corporate bankruptcy law is why it exists in the first place. Why are there special rules that apply only in financial distress? The conventional law-and-economics answer--known as the Creditors' Bargain Theory--identifies two core purposes of bankruptcy law: recreating a hypothetical ex ante bargain and respecting... |

Since 1918, the tax code has included 26 USC § 104(a)(2), an exclusion from gross income for civil lawsuit damages for personal injuries or sickness.
