Simultaneous and Sequential Anticommons

2004, European Journal of Law and …

AI-generated Abstract

This paper examines the concepts of simultaneous and sequential anticommons in property law, proposing a model to analyze the effects of these two forms of ownership on resource allocation and economic behavior. Through rigorous analysis, the authors demonstrate that the presence of overlapping ownership rights can lead to significant challenges in resource utilization, highlighting the implications for both legal theory and practical governance.
