Delaware and Washington as Corporate Lawmakers

Roe, Mark J. (Delaware Law School of Widener College, 2009)

American corporate law scholars have long focused on state-to-state jurisdictional competition as a powerful engine in the making of American corporate law. Yet much corporate law is made in Washington, D.C. Federal ...

Delaware Law as Lingua Franca: Theory and Evidence

Why would a firm incorporate in Delaware rather than in its home state? Prior explanations have focused on the inherent features of Delaware corporate law, as well as the positive network externalities created by so many ...

Delaware's Choice

Subramanian, Guhan (2015)

This Article first documents the shift to annual elections of all directors at most U.S. corporations, and argues that the alternative of "ineffective" staggered boards would have been more desirable, as a policy matter, ...

Delaware's Competition

Roe, Mark J. (Harvard Law School, 2003)

One of corporate law's enduring issues has been the extent to which state-to-state competitive pressures on Delaware make for a race to the top or the bottom. States, or at least some of them, are said to compete with their ...

Delaware's Politics

Roe, Mark J. (Ames Foundation at the Harvard Law School, The, 2005)

Delaware makes the corporate law governing most large American corporations. Since Washington can take away any, or all, of that lawmaking, a deep conception of American corporate law should show how, when, and where ...

Delaware's Shrinking Half-Life

Roe, Mark J. (Stanford Law School, 2009)

A revisionist consensus among corporate law academics has begun to coalesce that, after a century of academic thinking to the contrary, states do not compete head-to-head on an ongoing basis for chartering revenues, leaving ...

Delay of transfer from the intensive care unit: a prospective observational study of incidence, causes, and financial impact

Johnson, Daniel W; Schmidt, Ulrich H; Bittner, Edward A; Christensen, Benjamin; Levi, Retsef; Pino, Richard M (BioMed Central, 2013)

Introduction: A paucity of literature exists regarding delays in transfer out of the intensive care unit. We sought to analyze the incidence, causes, and costs of delayed transfer from a surgical intensive care unit (SICU). ...
