Two Interesting Rutgers L. J. Articles on CEO pay and de Soto

The Rutgers Law Journal has posted to interesting articles to its main page (the articles are not yet available on Lexis, but the PDF is on the Journal's page).

Rashmi Dyal-Chand wrote a great article looking critically at the ideas of Hernando de Soto, the author of The Mystery of Capital. Her article is: Rashmi Dyal-Chand, Exporting the Ownership Society: A Case Study on the Economic Impact of Property Rights, 39 Rutgers L.J. 59 (2008). After you read this article, if you are still interested, the AALS Property Section is doing a session on de Soto at the AALS annual meeting in San Diego.

Second, the Journal has published, Sandeep Gopalan, Changing Social Norms and CEO Pay: The Role of Norms Entrepreneurs, 39 Rutgers L.J. 1 (2008). Since I haven't read the article yet, I won't comment, but it looks interesting.
