Donald (Trey) Earl Childress III has co-authored an article on “Complying in the Shadow of the Award” recently published in the Yale Journal of International Law.
The article is an empirical study that assesses the rate of voluntary compliance with international arbitral awards. Among other contributions to the literature on award compliance, the article explains that parties can increase voluntary compliance by facilitating immediate post-award communication and by including in their arbitration agreements provisions for post-award interest and for shifting post-award costs.
The article is co-authored with Jack J. Coe, Jr. (Pepperdine Caruso School of Law), Christopher R. Drahozal (The University of Kansas School of Law, and Catherine A. Rogers (Bocconi University).
