The corporation became the dominant form of firm in the 19th century, but its nature and advantages are still poorly understood. A recent article "The advantages of the corporate form - an impossibility theorem on persons and things" by Johann Graf Lambsdorff in the Cambridge Journal of Economics provides a game-theoretic proof of these advantages. To achieve these, the corporation had to be given legal capacity, treating it as a person, and be transferable, treating it as a thing. A classic dichotomy between persons and things. This dichotomy had to be overcome in order to secure the advantages of the corporation.

Do people lack willpower when they don't stick to their long-term resolutions? In collaboration with researchers from the United Kingdom, Dr. Kevin Grubiak finds in a new study that subjects enjoy the freedom to spontaneously deviate from their resolutions. The results have implications for the assessment of interventions in the spirit of libertarian paternalism, which have so far neglected the intrinsic value of spontaneity.
The study was published in the journal Behavioural Public Policy and can be accessed via the following link: https://doi.org/10.1017/bpp.2021.41
