Environmental Liability in Transboundary Harms: Law and Forum Choice
研究了跨界损害诉讼中法律选择和法院选择的经济后果，发现只有用损害发生地的标准来审理，过失责任才能实现最优的注意水平，这为国内环境法的域外适用提供了理论支持。
We examine the economic consequences of choice of law and the choice of forum for the adjudication of transboundary harms. We examine strict liability and negligence and show that the socially optimal levels of care can be implemented in negligence only if the actions of the firm that caused the harm are adjudicated using the standards of the jurisdiction in which the harm occurs. This lends theoretical support to the extraterritorial application of domestic environmental laws in the case of transboundary pollution disputes. The Author 2007.
