所有的法院都是在大多数经济决策失败之后才进行事后裁决的。这可能会产生时间不一致的问题。从事前的角度来看，法院会有（事后）过度宽大的诱惑。这一观察是遵循先例原则的根源。遵循先例迫使法院权衡宽大处理对当前当事人的好处和更严厉的决定对未来当事人的有利影响。我们研究了这些动态，发现遵循先例保证了先例朝着事前有效的决定，从而减轻法院的时间不一致的问题。然而，动态并不收敛到完全效率
All Courts rule ex-post, after most economic decisions are sunk. This might generate a time-inconsistency problem. From an ex-ante perspective, Courts will have the (ex-post) temptation to be excessively lenient. This observation is at the root of the principle of stare decisis. Stare decisis forces Courts to weigh the benefits of leniency towards the current parties against the beneficial effects that tougher decisions have on future ones. We study these dynamics and find that stare decisis guarantees that precedents evolve towards ex-ante efficient decisions, thus alleviating the Courts’ time-inconsistency problem. However, the dynamics do not converge to full efficiency
