Opis

Law and Markets examines the interaction between legal rules, market forces and prices. It emphasises the economic effects of legal rules on individual incentives in both market and non-market settings, and draws on cases and materials from a wide variety of legal jurisdictions to illustrate economic principles.

Recenzje

"The text is a welcome addition to the law and economics field, bringing economic rigour to the analysis of a range of topics in the field. What differentiates this text is the clear focus on the market and market structure. While useful for instructors, for the intended audience it is likely to be but one resource in an undergraduate or postgraduate law and economics class." (Stephen Whelan, Economic Record, Vol. 92 (296), March, 2016)
