This course introduces students into the economic analysis of law, commonly known as law and economics (L&E). In applying microeconomics to legal rules, L&E attempts to determine efficient law or to point out the trade-off between efficiency and social values such as fairness, non-discrimination and (income) distribution. This course will teach you to assess which legal instrument is best designed to deal efficiently with a social problem and how different allocations of legal rights affect social welfare and economic efficiency. For example, protective laws (eg. consumer laws) that are made with the best intentions (justice, equity, fairness), can make the protected worse off. L&E lays bare the inefficiency of some rules as well as the efficient rationale of others. L&E is a method that can be applied to many fields of law. Therefore, we have opted for an overview of L&E in different legal fields. The topics will include for example torts, property, contracts, crime and corporate law.
