Here’s what we’re reading on this Tuesday-after-a-long-weekend:
- “Economic Impact in Regulatory Takings Law,” a forthcoming article by lawprof Steven J. Eagle about one of the prongs of the Penn Central takings test. Professor Eagle “concludes that unresolved issues and complexities in adjudicating the ‘economic impact of the regulation on the claimant’ test provide an additional reason why the conceptually incoherent Penn Central doctrine must be replaced.”
- Jacob Cremer posts “The Constitutional Issues at Stake in Koontz, Simplified” on his blog.
- “Are Property Rights Human Rights?” from Forbes.
- “NY Fed report sees cracks in eminent domain proposals” – “… a new blog from researchers at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York suggests such a plan would have proved to be ineffective anyway. Their reasoning for this conclusion is that many of the targeted borrowers have already benefited from either falling interest rates, loan modifications or voluntary prepayments and foreclosures” – via Housingwire.
- “Wukan’s dilemma stems from land property rights” – the latest on this story about property protests in southern China.
