Additionally, since judges who create law tend to be activists, there is a big opportunity for Law and Economic scholars in the region to establish the importance of some basic postulates of the field, typically, the importance of the measure of consequences (pragmatism) in the law-making process.

A partir de estos ejemplos se establece, sobre la base de amplia doctrina económica, que la publicidad, al ser quizá el medio más eficaz para transmitir información en el mercado, actúa como un método esencial para la competencia reduciendo, a su vez, el precio y elevando la calidad. Así, la hipótesis queda demostrada en la mayoría de estos casos, mostrándonos como estas restricciones afectan económica y socialmente al país.

However, advertising has been the subject of the critic of scholars and the distrust of the general public. Moreover, this circumstance, plus the pressure of groups of interest, has lead to the imposition of bans against it.In this case, we will focus on the ban on the advertising of infant formula. This ban is supposed to increase breastfeeding by incrementing the price −and, thus, reducing the consumption− of its substitute. Even if that makes sense as a nutrition policy, we argue that it has the opposite effect, at least when it’s applied in a poor country like Peru. This is so because substitutes are the only alternative for some people who, for example, works or has diseases; then, if we prohibit the advertising of the “second best” alternative, i. e. formulas, people has to resort to worst alternatives like whole milk, tea or even water; incrementing, in that way, malnutrition.
