Die konsequente Durchsetzung des Wettbewerbsprinzips zur Errichtung des EU-Binnenmarkts führt dazu, dass sich ein interjurisdiktioneller Wettbewerb zwischen den Mitgliedstaaten entfaltet. Dabei treten die Mitgliedstaaten auch mit ihren rechtlichen Regeln und Regulierungen in Konkurrenz. In diesem Beitrag soll argumentiert werden, dass eine Föderalisierung von Recht als geeignete Politikoption erscheint, den europäischen Binnenmarkt zu verwirklichen. Am aktuellen Beispiel der Niederlassungsfreiheit von Gesellschaften wird gezeigt, dass sich die von der Föderalismustheorie entwickelten Kriterien zur vertikalen Kompetenzverteilung auch auf Recht anwenden lassen. Dabei ist jedoch dem Konsistenzerfordernis von Recht besondere Bedeutung beizumessen.

AbstractThis article contributes to the discussion about proper product safety in the wake of disruptive digital technologies. By picking the example of 3D printing we analyse why incumbent product liability law does not incentivise optimal deterrence of harmful 3D printed products. We identify the new business models associated with 3D printing as the main trigger for the non-applicability of incumbent liability law. The new business models are characterised by making no strong reference to economies of scale. As a result, the informational content of specific producers and their products is scarce and the identification of tortfeasors becomes a challenge for the legal system. While there is yet no easy solution to the problem, we provide at the end of the article an inventory of institutions that may take the lead in finding new proper liability rules and safety regulations.

The paper proposes a theoretical framework to explain policy drift, when identity moderates the principle-agent relation between the legislator and the bureaucracy. Our model points to the subtle interaction between different administrative levels of bureaucracy and how this interaction shapes the structure and size of budgetary allocations. Conceptually we enrich the public choice tradition of modeling bureaucracies by insights which fall broadly into the study of organizational behavior.
