Richard M. Hynes STATE DEFAULT AND SYNTHETIC BANKRUPTCY 87 Washington Law Review 657 (October, 2012) An insolvent state does not need bankruptcy if sovereign immunity would protect it from lawsuits and other collection efforts. To the extent that a state is not judgment-proof and needs bankruptcy, we may not need to modify the Federal Bankruptcy Code to allow it to file. First, a substantial share of state spending flows through their... 2012
David A. Skeel Jr STATES OF BANKRUPTCY 79 University of Chicago Law Review 677 (Spring 2012) In the past several years, many states' financial condition have been so precarious that some observers have predicted that one or more might default. As the crisis persisted, a very unlikely word crept into these conversations: bankruptcy. Should Congress provide a bankruptcy option for states, or would bankruptcy be a mistake? The goal of this... 2012

Anthony C. Infanti TAX REFORM DISCOURSE 32 Virginia Tax Review 205 (Summer, 2012) Any measure that values a gun several hundred times more than a bottle of milk is bound to raise serious questions about its relevance for human progress. It is no surprise, then, that since the emergence of national income accounts, there has been considerable dissatisfaction with gross national product as a measure of human welfare. GNP reflects... 2012

Matthew A. Melone TAXPAYERS' CHALLENGES TO FAVORABLE IRS GUIDANCE 89 Practical Tax Strategies 266 (December, 2012) The only available remedy for IRS actions that are favorable to taxpayers is through the political process. The IRS and the Treasury Department typically do not interpret tax statutes in a taxpayer-friendly manner. However, on occasion they do just that, and thus a tax practitioner may be faced with taking a tax return position or suggesting a tax... 2012
Theodore Eisenberg THE CBP RACE STUDY: A PATHBREAKING CIVIL JUSTICE STUDY AND ITS SENSITIVITY TO DEBTOR INCOME, PRIOR BANKRUPTCY, AND FORECLOSURE 20 American Bankruptcy Institute Law Review 683 (Winter 2012) Choice of bankruptcy chapter provides an unusual opportunity to assess race effects on a civil law outcome in a reasonably well controlled context.

Jonathan P. Schneller THE EARNED INCOME TAX CREDIT AND THE ADMINISTRATION OF TAX EXPENDITURES 90 North Carolina Law Review 719 (March, 2012) The field of tax expenditure analysis has generally assumed a binary choice between tax expenditures and direct outlays. Because tax expenditures have multiple traits that are said to render them a suboptimal spending mechanism, scholars have tended to argue that they should be eliminated outright, or that they should be recast as direct... 2012
Reuven S. Avi-Yonah , Yaron Lahav THE EFFECTIVE TAX RATES OF THE LARGEST U.S. AND EU MULTINATIONALS 65 Tax Law Review 375 (Spring 2012) The United States has the second highest statutory corporate tax rate in the Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) (after Japan).

Steven L. Schwarcz A MINIMALIST APPROACH TO STATE "BANKRUPTCY" 59 UCLA Law Review 322 (December, 2011) Increasingly finding themselves in fiscal straightjackets, states have been turning to austerity measures, tax increases, privatization of services, and renegotiation of collective bargaining agreements. Absent a federal government bailout, however, states will also need debt relief if their debt burden becomes so crushing that reasonable efforts... 2011

Ruth Mason FEDERALISM AND THE TAXING POWER 99 California Law Review 975 (August, 2011) Scholars and courts recognize that the federal government uses its broad spending power to enlist states in achieving federal goals, thereby expanding the federal government's reach beyond the areas enumerated for it in the Constitution.

Paige Taylor REACTION TO: WEALTH, POVERTY, AND THE EQUAL PROTECTION CLAUSE 3 Georgetown Journal of Law & Modern Critical Race Perspectives 201 (Fall, 2011) While Modarres makes clear that the courts have failed to recognize wealth as a suspect classification, he has based his thesis on the convergence of race and poverty, which ha[s] made it a virtual impossibility to consider poverty in a race-neutral manner. Therefore, he argues mostly about racial dynamics rather than proving a factual basis to... 2011
Sarah Pei Woo REGULATORY BANKRUPTCY: HOW BANK REGULATION CAUSES FIRE SALES 99 Georgetown Law Journal 1615 (August, 2011) Bankruptcy policy has long been founded upon the assumption that creditors seek to maximize the value of their assets.

Banks, which are responsible for the majority of the outstanding credit in the United States, are... 2011

Angela Littwin THE AFFORDABILITY PARADOX: HOW CONSUMER BANKRUPTCY'S GREATEST WEAKNESS MAY ACCOUNT FOR ITS SURPRISING SUCCESS 52 William and Mary Law Review 1933 (May, 2011) When the 2005 Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act (BAPCPA) made consumer bankruptcy more expensive for all debtors, it inadvertently reignited a debate about how to make the system more affordable for its neediest beneficiaries. Even before BAPCPA, consumer bankruptcy suffered from the irony that those who needed it the most... 2011
