NÃO OBSTANTE, ATÉ O MOMENTO, NÃO HÁ EVIDÊNCIAS EMPÍRICAS QUE APÓIEM ESSA AFIRMAÇÃO E MUITOS ARGUMENTAM QUE SE TRATA DE UMA PERCEPÇÃO EQUIVOCADA DECORRENTE DO AUMENTO DE MEDIDAS ANTICORRUPÇÃO. UMA DAS PRINCIPAIS RAZÕES PARA ESSA NOTÁVEL AUSÊNCIA É A GRANDE DIFICULDADE DE SE IDENTIFICAR CASOS COMPROVADOS DE CORRUPÇÃO PARA, ENTÃO, SE AVERIGUAR SE ELES FORAM OU NÃO PUNIDOS PELO SISTEMA JUDICIAL. ESTE ARTIGO USA O SISTEMA BRASILEIRO DE RESPONSABILIDADE TRÍPLICE COMO UM EXPERIMENTO NATURAL PARA MEDIR O DESEMPENHO DO SISTEMA JUDICIAL CONTRA CORRUPÇÃO. NOSSOS RESULTADOS MOSTRAM QUE O SISTEMA JUDICIAL BRASILEIRO É ALTAMENTE INEFICAZ NO COMBATE À CORRUPÇÃO, SENDO A PROBABILIDADE DE SER PUNIDO MENOR DO QUE 5%

The admirable character of Roman law is its quality as an (almost) paradigmatic private law system. My discussion of Roman law illustrates how private law can align incentives for people to exert efforts to optimize investment and share information so as to reduce information asymmetries. Roman private law also enables people who face resource, incentive, and information constraints to act more consistently in their own interest and, when efficient, to act in the interest of others, which is a key aspect of eliminating the need for public law intervention. This paper shows how Roman private law makes possible a decentralized market without mediation by public law. The private sector cannot exist in a vacuum. Private law enables the private sector to be the main driver of the economy. Understanding how a system of private law works is relevant for economic liberalization in Latin America and the Caribbean.
