Papers
Rules Versus Statutes and Type I versus Type II Incomplete Law
This is a random selection. More of the important ones coming.
- Baier, Vicki Eaton, James G. March, and Harald Saetren. "Implementation and ambiguity." Scandinavian Journal of Management Studies 2, no. 3 (1986): 197-212.
- Pistor, Katharina, and Chenggang Xu. "Law enforcement under incomplete law: Theory and evidence from financial market regulation." LSE STICERD Research Paper No. TE442 (2002).
Standards and Standard-Setting Organizations
- Bonatti and Rantakari (2016) on Standard-Setting Organizations, The Politics of Compromise (from Bob)
- Timmermans and Epstein's (2010) review article on sociological research on standards: A World of Standards but not a Standard World
- Ahrne and Brunsson's (2008) theory of Meta-Organizations, an organization with organizations as members
- Bromley and Meyer's (2015) book on hyper-organization, and an article (2013) that summarizes the main argument
Cooperation

Exploiting Cogntive Biases
- Gabaix & Laibson (2006) "SHROUDED ATTRIBUTES, CONSUMER MYOPIA, AND INFORMATION SUPPRESSION IN COMPETITIVE MARKETS". They model a set-up in which sophisticated firms exploit myopic consumers (potentially similar to the interaction between regulated firms and regulators in Kwak's cultural capture model).
