ulysses and sunk costs
I'm sure there's a good word play in there somewhere, but I can't currently think of it, so I'm dibbing the whole concept. Basically, I would like to suggest that our so-called fallacy of sunk costs is just this way for present selves to protect their decisional pathways from the meddling of future selves.
banking on en bancs
Man, I don't know what this paper would be about, but it would be a fun title.
what law and economics can learn from chemistry
A gallingly better-than-thou topic (I'd be tongue-in-cheek about it, promise). But man, there are all these things I want to critique about L&E! Like, for instance, how L&E deals with economically efficient states! Chemists use similar concepts too, we just call them "equilibria." But we consider other things, like the time needed to actually reach the equilibrium. Which L&E theorists never seem to do! They just seem to assume that efficiency is instantaneous! There are many many other things. And they would fit oh so well into such an essay.
