  1. Decentralized Autonomous Organizations and Regulatory Competition: A Race Without a Cause.Matt Blaszczyk - 2024 - North Dakota Law Review 99:107-122.
    Several states have enacted specialized limited liability company legislation in an attempt to attract decentralized autonomous organizations. In this way, the regulatory competition debate surrounding states such as Wyoming, Tennessee, and Vermont, attempting to dethrone Delaware, has found a new battleground. According to Professor Lynn LoPucki, this will entail a regulatory race to the bottom, that is, a race to “laxity.” I disagree. In fact, deregulation has already been achieved in the traditional limited liability company form. The (...)

  2. Regulatory Entrepreneurship, Fair Competition, and Obeying the Law.Robert C. Hughes - 2021 - Journal of Business Ethics 181 (1):249-261.
    Some sharing economy firms have adopted a strategy of “regulatory entrepreneurship,” openly violating regulations with the aim of rendering them dead letters. This article argues that in a democracy, regulatory entrepreneurship is a presumptively unethical business strategy. In all but the most corrupt political environments, businesses that seek to change their regulatory environment should do so through the democratic political process, and they should do so without using illegal business practices to build a political constituency. To show (...)

  3. Pursuing Competition and Regulatory Reforms for Achieving Sustainable Development GoalsPursuing Competition and Regulatory Reforms for Achieving Sustainable Development Goals.Rijit Sengupta (ed.) - 2016 - Jaipur: CUTS International.
    This work aims to study strategies used in Argentine local development experiences, focussing on industrial design, marketing and entrepreneurship. In order to this purpose, backgrounds are analysed with this approach adding the study of three strategic plans for national and provincial-level that are currently in force. With the analysis of the transport system in the last decade, an accelerated cost increase is evident, resulting in a relatively higher price of distributed products. This situation that was initially perceived as a disadvantage (...)

  4. The state and tax competition – a normative perspective.Peter Dietsch - 2018 - In Martin O'Neill & Shepley Orr (eds.), Taxation: Philosophical Perspectives. Oxford University Press. pp. 203-223.
    Governments increasingly use their fiscal policy to attract mobile capital from abroad. This tax competition puts a strain on the international fiscal system by undermining the capacity of states to make autonomous fiscal choices and by exacerbating inequalities. The existing regulatory framework is not able to address these challenges. Yet, what considerations should guide our efforts for reform? This chapter argues that a first necessary step consists in understanding the principles that justify the state as the principal locus (...)

    Eliminating Power Struggles Through a Balanced Hierarchy of Leadership While Preserving Beneficial Competition.Angelito Malicse - manuscript
    Eliminating Power Struggles Through a Balanced Hierarchy of Leadership While Preserving Beneficial Competition -/- Introduction -/- Power struggles have been a defining feature of human history, often leading to conflicts, corruption, and inefficiencies in governance. Some argue that power struggles are an inescapable part of human nature, but a scientific systems approach reveals that they are the result of imbalances in leadership structures, resource distribution, and decision-making frameworks. -/- Eliminating power struggles does not mean eliminating healthy competition. (...), when properly structured, plays a crucial role in innovation, economic growth, and societal progress. For instance, capitalistic competition has driven technological and economic advancements, but when left unregulated, it has also led to wealth concentration, corporate monopolies, and economic instability. -/- By implementing a balanced hierarchy of leadership that operates according to the universal law of balance, we can eliminate destructive power struggles while preserving beneficial competition—ensuring a system where leadership serves as a regulator rather than a source of concentrated power. -/- The Scientific Basis of Power Struggles and Competition -/- 1. Systems Theory and the Emergence of Power Struggles -/- Power struggles arise when a system lacks balance and feedback mechanisms that regulate decision-making. Systems theory, which is used in engineering, biology, and economics, explains that: -/- In stable systems, components work together through feedback loops to maintain order. -/- In unstable systems, feedback loops are disrupted, leading to chaos or dominance by certain components. -/- In human societies, power struggles emerge when: -/- Leadership structures concentrate too much power in a few individuals or groups. -/- Feedback mechanisms are weak or absent, allowing leaders to make unchecked decisions. -/- Resources and opportunities are unfairly distributed, causing friction between competing factions. -/- This is why unchecked power always leads to instability—when power accumulates in a few hands, competition turns into destructive conflict rather than beneficial progress. -/- 2. Neuroscience of Decision-Making and Power Dynamics -/- Neuroscientific research shows that human decision-making is influenced by a balance between rationality and emotion: -/- The prefrontal cortex regulates rational decision-making and long-term planning. -/- The amygdala triggers emotions like fear and aggression, often fueling power struggles. -/- In imbalanced leadership systems, leaders often act based on emotional impulses, such as fear of losing power, rather than rational governance. This is why unchecked competition often turns into greed-driven monopolization, instead of fostering fair economic growth. -/- A balanced hierarchy of leadership ensures that rational decision-making prevails over impulsive power struggles, using structured feedback loops to regulate authority. -/- 3. The Role of Karma and Systems Thinking in Competition -/- The law of karma, as defined in the universal formula, aligns with systems thinking in that: -/- Every action creates a reaction that influences the entire system. -/- If a system is designed with defects or imbalances, it will eventually break down. -/- For example, in economic systems: -/- Unregulated capitalism leads to monopolies, inequality, and financial crises. -/- Overly centralized economies lead to inefficiency and lack of innovation. -/- A balanced economic system ensures that competition remains fair, productive, and sustainable, while preventing monopolization and economic instability. -/- Flaws in Existing Leadership and Economic Structures -/- Despite progress, current leadership and economic systems suffer from fundamental flaws: -/- 1. Political Power Struggles -/- Most political systems, whether democratic or autocratic, prioritize power retention over societal welfare. Elections often become battles for control, rather than mechanisms for choosing the most competent leaders. -/- 2. Unregulated Capitalistic Competition -/- While capitalism has driven technological progress, it often lacks regulatory balance. This results in: -/- Monopolies and corporate lobbying, where a few corporations control entire industries. -/- Extreme wealth concentration, leading to systemic instability. -/- 3. The Absence of Scientific Decision-Making in Governance -/- Many governments and corporations make decisions based on short-term political gains or financial interests, rather than scientific principles. This leads to: -/- Environmental degradation due to profit-driven policies. -/- Social inequality, as wealth and resources are unfairly distributed. -/- These issues show that competition alone is not enough—it must be regulated by the universal law of balance to prevent systemic collapse. -/- The Solution: A Balanced Hierarchy of Leadership with Beneficial Competition -/- To eliminate power struggles while preserving beneficial competition, we need a hierarchy of leadership based on: -/- 1. Leadership Selection Based on Competence and Wisdom -/- Leaders should be chosen based on scientific merit and ethical competence, rather than political influence or wealth. -/- Education systems should train future leaders in the universal law of balance, systems thinking, and rational decision-making. -/- Leadership should act as a regulator of competition, ensuring fairness and progress. -/- 2. Decentralized Yet Coordinated Decision-Making -/- Power should be distributed across multiple levels, preventing centralized control while maintaining system-wide coordination. -/- A hierarchical feedback system should allow leaders to adjust decisions dynamically based on real-world conditions. -/- 3. AGI-Assisted Regulation of Leadership and Competition -/- AGI, programmed with the universal formula and a complete sensor system, can act as an impartial advisor, monitoring economic and political systems to detect imbalances before they escalate. -/- AI should not replace human leadership but should serve as a scientific tool for maintaining systemic balance. -/- 4. Economic Policies Aligned with Natural Law -/- Fair competition should be maintained, preventing monopolies while encouraging innovation. -/- Wealth gaps should be regulated, ensuring economic mobility without discouraging entrepreneurship. -/- Capitalistic competition should be structured to foster progress while preventing systemic failures. -/- How Beneficial Competition Fits Into the System -/- Instead of eliminating competition, a balanced leadership hierarchy ensures that competition is: -/- ✔ Fair – No monopolies or financial manipulation. ✔ Productive – Encourages innovation and efficiency. ✔ Sustainable – Prevents extreme inequalities and power struggles. ✔ Ethical – Decisions are guided by natural balance, not greed or short-term gains. -/- This model allows entrepreneurs, businesses, scientists, and innovators to compete in ways that drive human progress, while eliminating power struggles that lead to corruption, inequality, and societal collapse. -/- Conclusion: A Society Without Power Struggles, Driven by Beneficial Competition -/- Power struggles are not an unavoidable part of human nature; they arise from imbalances in leadership, economy, and governance. By implementing a balanced hierarchy of leadership, we can eliminate power struggles while preserving beneficial competition that fosters development. -/- A properly designed system ensures that: -/- Leaders act as regulators, not rulers, preventing power accumulation. -/- Competition is structured to be fair, productive, and sustainable. -/- AGI and scientific governance help detect and correct imbalances before they become crises. -/- The economy promotes innovation without allowing monopolization or exploitation. -/- With these principles in place, we can create a world where leadership ensures balance, competition drives progress, and power struggles become a thing of the past. -/- .

  7. Trustless Trust and Antitrust: A Synthesis.Matt Blaszczyk - 2024 - Touro Law Review 39:925.
    Authors have written of antitrust’s demise in the face of blockchain technology which, supposedly, achieves the goals of the law, through private ordering, without a need for the law. Most importantly of all, public permissionless blockchains offer the vision of disintermediation – the end of the platform economy troubling many scholars today. At the same time, blockchain technology presents challenges to the doctrine and enforcement of antitrust. Finally, blockchain community governance allows for private ordering of antitrust, i.e., enforcement of rules (...)

  8. Green Human Resource Management Practices Among Palestinian Manufacturing Firms- An Exploratory Study.Samer Arqawi, Ahmed A. Zaid, Ayham A. M. Jaaron, Amal A. Al Hila, Mazen J. Al Shobaki & Samy S. Abu-Naser - 2019 - Journal of Resources Development and Management 59:1-8.
    Organizations are increasingly finding it challenging to balance economic and environmental performance particularly those that face competitive, regulatory and community pressure. With the increasing pressures for environmental sustainability, this calls for the new formulation of strategies by the manufacturers in order to minimize their products and services negative impact on the environment. Hence, Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) continues to be an important research agenda among the researchers. In Palestine, green issues are new and still developing. Constant study is (...)

  9. Professionalism, Agency, and Market Failures.Hasko von Kriegstein - 2016 - Business Ethics Quarterly 26 (4):445-464.
    According to the Market Failures Approach to business ethics, beyond-compliance duties can be derived by employing the same rationale and arguments that justify state regulation of economic conduct. Very roughly the idea is that managers have a duty to behave as if they were complying with an ideal regulatory regime ensuring Pareto-optimal market outcomes. Proponents of the approach argue that managers have a professional duty not to undermine the institutional setting that defines their role, namely the competitive market. This (...)

    Typically, fair machine learning research focuses on a single decision maker and assumes that the underlying population is stationary. However, many of the critical domains motivating this work are characterized by competitive marketplaces with many decision makers. Realistically, we might expect only a subset of them to adopt any non-compulsory fairness-conscious policy, a situation that political philosophers call partial compliance. This possibility raises important questions: how does partial compliance and the consequent strategic behavior of decision subjects affect the allocation outcomes? (...)

Limerick: University of Limerick. pp. 90-99.
    Since the sharing economy is a rather new phenomenon, there is still no official definition of it in the legal framework of Croatia. The continuous development of sharing economy started a few years after the 1998 global and domestic economic crisis stroked Croatia. Namely, a total of eight platforms in the sectors of transportation, accommodation, finance, and online skills could be identified. The total market share of these platforms amounts to estimated market revenue of roughly 106 million EUR. When compared (...)

    Trust is important in the food sector. This is primarily because households entrust some of the tasks related to food preparation to food processors. The public is concerned about pesticides, food additives, preservatives, and processed foods that may harbor unwanted chemicals or additives. After numerous food scandals, consumers expect food processing industries and retailers to take responsibility for food safety. Meanwhile, the food industry focuses on profit growth and costs reduction to achieve higher production efficiency and competitiveness. It means that (...)

    During the current financial crisis, the need for an alternative to a laissez-faire ethics of capitalism (the Milton Friedman view) becomes clear.

    The Report presents insights which illuminates the intertwinements of European regulatory policies and global governance arrangements. By pinning down the exact nature of the interaction between these two levels, the EU’s dilemma becomes obvious: On the one hand, stronger global governance can be a chance, through which the EU can clarify its own raison d’être of increased integration to the wider world. On the other hand, the design of the European project is being challenged by more assertive global structures. (...)

  17. Competition as cooperation.C. Thi Nguyen - 2017 - Journal of the Philosophy of Sport 44 (1):123-137.
    Games have a complex, and seemingly paradoxical structure: they are both competitive and cooperative, and the competitive element is required for the cooperative element to work out. They are mechanisms for transforming competition into cooperation. Several contemporary philosophers of sport have located the primary mechanism of conversion in the mental attitudes of the players. I argue that these views cannot capture the phenomenological complexity of game-play, nor the difficulty and moral complexity of achieving cooperation through game-play. In this paper, (...)

    The complexity and heterogeneity of causes influencing ecology’s domain challenge its capacity to generate a general theory without exceptions, raising the question of whether ecology is capable, even in principle, of achieving the sort of theoretical success enjoyed by physics. Weber has argued that competition theory built around the Competitive Exclusion Principle (especially Tilman’s resource-competition model) offers an example of ecology identifying a law-like causal regularity. However, I suggest that as Weber presents it, the CEP is not yet (...)

    Peer competition and peer cooperation can be intuitively seen as opposing phenomena. However, depending on multiple factors, they might be complementary. In a population divided into groups, for instance, members of each group may cooperate with their peers in order to compete with neighboring groups. Alternatively, they may compete with their peers as a means of choosing the best cooperative partners and demonstrate that they are reliable cooperative partners. For instance, if subjects can choose with whom they wish to (...)

    Efforts by governments, firms, and patients to deliver pioneering drugs for critical health needs face a challenge of diminishing efficiency in developing those medicines. While multi-sectoral collaborations involving firms, researchers, patients, and policymakers are widely recognized as crucial for countering this decline, existing incentives to engage in drug development predominantly target drug manufacturers and thereby do little to stimulate collaborative innovation. In this mini review, we consider the unexplored potential within pharmaceutical regulations to create novel incentives to encourage a diverse (...)

    A great achievement makes one’s life go better independently of its results, but what makes an achievement great? A simple answer is—its difficulty. I defend this view against recent, pressing objections by interpreting difficulty in terms of competitiveness. Difficulty is determined not by how hard the agent worked for the end but by how hard others would need to do in order to compete. Successfully reaching a goal is a valuable achievement because it is difficult, and it is difficult because (...)

    According to regulatory fit theory (Higgins, 2000), when people make decisions with strategies that sustain their regulatory focus orientation, they “feel right” about what they are doing, and this “feeling-right” experience then transfers to subsequent choices, decisions, and evaluations. The present research was designed to link the concept of regulatory fit to functional accounts of counterfactual thinking. In the present study, participants generated counterfactuals about their anagram performance, after which persistence on a second set of anagrams was (...)

    The overall moral status of an option—whether it is required, permissible, forbidden, or something we really should do—is explained by competition between the contributory reasons bearing on that option and the alternatives. A familiar challenge for accounts of this competition is to explain the existence of latitude: there are usually multiple permissible options, rather than a single required option. One strategy is to appeal to distinctions between reasons that compete in different ways. Philosophers have introduced various kinds of (...)

    This paper explores the relations between self-esteem and competition. Self-esteem is a very important good and competition is a widespread phenomenon. They are commonly linked, as people often seek self-esteem through success in competition. Although competition in fact generates valuable consequences and can to some extent foster self-esteem, empirical research suggests that competition has a strong tendency to undermine self-esteem. To be sure, competition is not the source of all problematic deficits in self-esteem, and (...)

    We often think about competition as a foil to friendship as it seems to fundamentally compromise, even preclude norms of love. Indeed friendships can persist between rivals, but traditionally despite competitive fora. Competition between friends is often unavoidable and divisive; if left unchecked and unreconciled, the friendship is undermined. Questions about of how we ought to resolve this fraught dynamic persist; should we aim to compartmentalize and separate competition out of friendship, do we accept the “primacy” of (...)

  37. Competition in philosophy is a feminist issue.Ben Kilby - 2022 - Journal of Philosophy in Schools 9 (2):90-113.
    The role of competition in philosophy is not just a pedagogical concern, but also a feminist concern. Competitive philosophy in schools is intrinsically linked to Janice Moulton’s feminist critique of academic philosophy referred to as ‘The Adversary Method’. She argues that dialogue that emphasises adversarial methods of argumentation promote dominant notions of masculinity. Many philosophers and educators argue that this traditional ideal of masculinity and the adversarial mode of communicating are problematic for a variety of reasons. There has also (...)

  38. Breaking the Law Under Competitive Pressure.Robert C. Hughes - 2019 - Law and Philosophy 38 (2):169-193.
    When a business has competitors that break a burdensome law, is it morally required to obey this law, or may it break the law to avoid an unfair competitive disadvantage? Though this ethical question is pervasive in the business world, many non-skeptical theories of the obligation to obey the law cannot give it a clear answer. A broadly Kantian account, by contrast, can explain why businesspeople ought to obey laws of a certain type even under competitive pressure, namely laws that (...)

  39. Competition or Cooperation?Kazi A. S. M. Nurul Huda - 2011 - Arts Faculty Journal 5 (7):107-120.
    In this paper, I argue the importance of competition and cooperation cannot be denied as they both are instrumental in making any business transaction. Because two parties always set for themselves different priorities to a business transaction, business has been thought of in terms of competition. But cooperative action is also important, because in the case of cooperative activities the overall total is greater (though the outcomes differ) if we do cooperate than if we do not. Hence humans (...)

  40. REGULATORY ENFORCEMENT OF MINIMUM WAGE POLICY: AN EXAMINATION OF STREET-LEVEL BUREAUCRATS’ DISCRETION IN MALAYSIA.Mohammed Salah Hassan - 2021 - Dissertation, Universiti Malaya
    Regulatory enforcement is a multifaceted phenomenon that revolves around the concept of discretion of Street-Level Bureaucrats (SLBs). Discretion can be defined as the ability to freely decide how to deliver services to the clients/public. Regulations are enforced by the decisions made by bureaucrats when they interact with clients. By combining street-level bureaucracy and responsive regulation theories, this study is set to examine how different factors shape the discretion of street-level bureaucrats. This study is built on available literature pertaining to (...)

  41. Competition for consciousness among visual events: The psychophysics of reentrant visual processes.Vincent Di Lollo, James T. Enns & Ronald A. Rensink - 2000 - Journal Of Experimental Psychology-General 129 (4):481-507.
    Advances in neuroscience implicate reentrant signaling as the predominant form of communication between brain areas. This principle was used in a series of masking experiments that defy explanation by feed-forward theories. The masking occurs when a brief display of target plus mask is continued with the mask alone. Two masking processes were found: an early process affected by physical factors such as adapting luminance and a later process affected by attentional factors such as set size. This later process is called (...)

  42. Theory of Cooperative-Competitive Intelligence: Principles, Research Directions, and Applications.Robert Hristovski & Natàlia Balagué - 2020 - Frontiers in Psychology 11.
    We present a theory of cooperative-competitive intelligence (CCI), its measures, research program, and applications that stem from it. Within the framework of this theory, satisficing sub-optimal behavior is any behavior that does not promote a decrease in the prospective control of the functional action diversity/unpredictability (D/U) potential of the agent or team. This potential is defined as the entropy measure in multiple, context-dependent dimensions. We define the satisficing interval of behaviors as CCI. In order to manifest itself at individual or (...)

  43. Cosmopolitanism and Competition: Probing the Limits of Egalitarian Justice.David Wiens - 2017 - Economics and Philosophy 33 (1):91-124.
    This paper develops a novel competition criterion for evaluating institutional schemes. Roughly, this criterion says that one institutional scheme is normatively superior to another to the extent that the former would engender more widespread political competition than the latter. I show that this criterion should be endorsed by both global egalitarians and their statist rivals, as it follows from their common commitment to the moral equality of all persons. I illustrate the normative import of the competition criterion (...)

    This research investigates the primary constraint causing the low competitiveness of Indonesian footwear exports compared to Vietnam with new information from a number of the latest studies. This study uses Reveal Comparative Advantage (RCA) and the Trade Specialization Index (TSI). Differences in culture, economic structure, and firm rivalry all contribute to Indonesia’s power competitiveness. This research adds a competitive advantage to study the factors that hamper the low competitiveness of Indonesian footwear against Vietnam. The results show that Indonesia’s comparative advantage (...)

  46. Affirmative Action without Competition.Andreas Bengtson - forthcoming - American Journal of Political Science.
    Affirmative action is standardly pursued in relation to admissions to prestigious universities, in hiring for prestigious jobs, and when it comes to being elected to parliament. Central to these forms of affirmative action is that they have to do with competitive goods. A good is competitive when, if we improve A’s chances of getting the good, we reduce B’s chances of obtaining the good. I call this Competitive Affirmative Action. I distinguish this from Non-competitive Affirmative Action. The latter has to (...)

  48. The puzzle of competitive fairness.Oisin Suttle - 2022 - Politics, Philosophy and Economics 21 (2):190-227.
    Politics, Philosophy & Economics, Volume 21, Issue 2, Page 190-227, May 2022. There is a sense of fairness that is distinctive of markets. This is fairness among economic competitors, competitive fairness. We regularly make judgments of competitive fairness about market participants, public policies and institutions. However, it is not clear to what these judgments refer, or what moral significance they have. This paper offers a rational reconstruction of competitive fairness in terms of non-domination. It first identifies competitive fairness as a (...)

  50. A Risk-Based Regulatory Approach to Autonomous Weapon Systems.Alexander Blanchard, Claudio Novelli, Luciano Floridi & Mariarosaria Taddeo - manuscript
    International regulation of autonomous weapon systems (AWS) is increasingly conceived as an exercise in risk management. This requires a shared approach for assessing the risks of AWS. This paper presents a structured approach to risk assessment and regulation for AWS, adapting a qualitative framework inspired by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). It examines the interactions among key risk factors—determinants, drivers, and types—to evaluate the risk magnitude of AWS and establish risk tolerance thresholds through a risk matrix informed by (...)
