Do home-sharing platforms like Airbnb need more regulation to protect consumers and the safety of local communities? How can the interests of private property owners, consumers, and small businesses be balanced? What might an optimal level of regulation look like, and who decides? A variety of experts explore the legal and regulatory questions that have accompanied the rise of home-sharing platforms.
On March 1, the Pepperdine Law Review’s 2019 Symposium, in partnership with the Regulatory Transparency Project, explored how private actors can deliver the creativity and innovation the marketplace demands while overcoming often conflicting, ambiguous, or altogether absent regulatory frameworks.
In this paper, Adam Mossoff, Kristen Osenga, Mark Schultz, and Saurabh Vishnubhakat argue that outdated consent decrees should be ended to take full advantage of modern technologies for the distribution of music.
Written by Gregory Jacob, Tammy McCutchen, and Michael Lotito, this paper argues that the Department of Labor’s current regulations fail to take into account the ways in which work and technology have changed since those rules were promulgated. Updating these rules, the authors suggest, could benefit both workers and employers.
Papers produced by the RTP's working groups examine how regulations either succeed or fail, and discuss how we might improve them.
