摘要

We develop in this article a model of firm choice of corporate laws under rational inertia. We show that such a model can generate critical insights for the debate over the desirability of regulatory competition in the market for corporate laws. While elasticity in the demand for corporate laws is limited by unobservable quality, home bias, and inertia in decision-making, there is evidence that corporate law does matter and can generate market shifts in firm incorporation decisions.In particular, we find that Delaware faces competitive pressures to adopt corporate laws that are relatively shareholder-friendly. Consistent with the bonding hypothesis, our counterfactual analysis indicates that if Delaware enacted highly protectionist laws, large public firms would leave Delaware. While such a scenario is unlikely to transpire at present, it would be similar to events that led to the fall of New Jersey as the dominant state of incorporation for US firms in the early twentieth century (Butler 1985). The enactment of protectionist anti-trust laws by the New Jersey legislature triggered a mass migration of companies to Delaware, which copied New Jersey's corporate code and created the infrastructure for serving modern business corporations.
