Economic Analysis of Law

Research output: Book/ReportBookAcademic

Abstract

This book, available open access for the benefit of all, deals with the emerging field of law & economics. It seeks to define the scope of economic analysis of law; what are the goals of bringing the two disciplines of law and economics together; what is the criterion for measuring efficiency; beginning from the neo-classical approach to the present day discussion on behavioural approach, how did law and economics emerge as a discipline and what is the future of economic analysis of law. Different chapters in the book discuss issues such as game theory, the microeconomic and some basic mathematical principles employed in law and economics. The principle theme underlying this book is to bring together law and economics in an organic and workable manner.
