Why Do Courts Delay?
Answering one question often begets another. We present a decision-theoretic model that describes how this dynamic sequences decisions over time. Because answering an easy question may raise a more difficult one, a rational decision-maker may delay resolution even if he has perfect information about the correct decision. Furthermore, because otherwise unrelated questions may raise similar follo...
