My deepest gratitude goes to my teachers and advisors. The Chair of my JSD Committee, Professor Petros C. Mavroidis, has been a great source of inspira- tion since the beginning of my studies at Columbia Law School. The ideas and comments of Professor Harvey J. Goldschmid challenged my thinking and broadened my horizons. I would also like to thank the editors of the New Horizons in Law and Economics series for their comments and suggestions, which have been really helpful. All remaining mistakes are mine
