Description
Law can be viewed as a body of rules and legal sanctions that channel behavior in socially desirable directions – for example, by encouraging
individuals to take proper precautions to prevent accidents or by discouraging competitors from colluding to raise prices. The incentives
created by the legal system are thus a natural subject of study by economists. Moreover, given the importance of law to the welfare of
societies, the economic analysis of law merits prominent treatment as a subdiscipline of economics. This two volume Handbook is intended
to foster the study of the legal system by economists.
Audience
Advanced graduate students, researchers and professionals interested in Economics, Law and their interaction.
