Unlimited liability rule recommended for private companies to minimize social costs
Limited liability for shareholders in companies is a beneficial concept that allows for making profits without risking personal assets. The economic analysis shows that limited liability is efficient for most companies, outweighing its costs. However, certain measures like mandatory insurance and director liability can enhance its effectiveness. Unlimited liability is recommended for tort creditors to ensure fair compensation. For private companies, the difference between limited and unlimited liability is minimal, making unlimited liability a better choice to reduce social costs.
