Abstract

Dans le cadre de l’approche dominante de la gouvernance, le rôle du droit est d’aider à réduire les conséquences des conflits d’intérêts et des comportements stratégiques intentionnels des différents acteurs, notamment des dirigeants. Les décisions des dirigeants préjudiciables aux actionnaires et aux autres parties prenantes ne relèvent cependant pas toutes d’un comportement volontaire. Certaines résultent d’erreurs de jugement, de biais cognitifs et comportementaux. Sur la base du courant Behavioral Law and Economics qui s’est fortement développé aux Etats-Unis, l’objectif de l’article est de montrer que le rôle du droit à l’intérieur du système de gouvernance est également de contribuer à « débiaiser » les décisions ou à corriger les conséquences défavorables de ces biais.
