我们研究了一个动态模型的向上或向下的问题解决。决策者可以在决定做什么之前花费资源调查新问题，或者根据与先前问题的相似性来决定。随着时间的推移，一个决策框架，或法理学，发展。我们关注的是该模式在法官造法中的应用。我们表明，法官在某些情况下，即决适用的先例。法律可能会趋同于效率或效率低下的规则。在正概率的情况下，相同的情况会得到不同的处理。随着时间的推移，法院了解到，不一致的可能性越来越小。我们讨论了现有的经验证据和模型的可测试含义。
We examine a dynamic model of up-or-down problem solving. A decision maker can either spend resources investigating a new problem before deciding what to do or decide on the basis of similarity with precedent problems. Over time, a decision-making framework, or jurisprudence, develops. We focus on the model’s application to judge-made law. We show that judges summarily apply precedent in some cases. The law may converge to efficient or inefficient rules. With positive probability, identical cases are treated differently. As the court learns over time, inconsistencies become less likely. We discuss the existing empirical evidence and the model’s testable implications.
