Do Exposure Suits Produce a "Race to File"? An Economic Analysis of a Tort for Risk
分析允许暴露受害者提前起诉是否会导致争先起诉，发现均衡中可能发生也可能不发生，且即使发生也并非所有受害者都会起诉，并探讨了不同均衡对赔偿、诉讼成本和侵权人注意水平的影响。
Conventional tort law does not allow exposure victims to seek compensation until they develop symptoms of illness. Because this may bar recovery if the injurer is judgment proof, some have advocated allowing victims to sue at exposure. However, critics charge that such a tort for risk would create a "race to file". We show that a race may or may not occur in equilibrium, and that when it does occur, not all victims choose to file even if bankruptcy is an inevitable result. We examine the consequences of the possible equilibria on compensation of victims, litigation costs, and injurer care.
