Project on economic analysis of enforcement of civil and administrative legislation in Russia.

Problem

Enforcement of civil legislation in Russia provided by public authorities and regulated by so-called administrative lawexhibits several important specific features. From the international perspectives it lies between public enforcementand private enforcement, since, on the one hand, it is performed by public authorities and, on the other hand, the main driver of the public action is an individual complaint by injured party. Russian public authorities have extremely high incentives not to refuse any complaint they receive. The incentives of public authorities and the complainers in this system generate strong effects on the enforcement outcomes, including mistakes, cost of the defenders and, finally, on deterrence.

Project

The goal of the project is to develop a model explaining the effects of administrative legislation enforcement in Russia using methods and models employed in modern law and economic literature. The proposed application of the developed theoretical framework will include several fields of administrative legislation in Russia including technical regulations, antitrust legislation, sector-specific regulations(including retail trade and procurement).  Russian team will include 3-4 people with extensive expertise in the enforcement of the above mentioned legal rules in Russia.

Duties and Responsibilities

Full-time research position includes participation in research project design, elaboration of analytical model explaining enforcement of administrative legislation in Russia, analysis of enforcement rules and procedures in Russia in comparison with other jurisdictions in the world, development of the joint research paper(s).
