Opis

Due to differences in the legal systems and business environments, it is difficult to compare the process of buying and selling land in different European countries. Illustrated by a range of European case studies, this book identifies and dicusses the problems of this comparison. It then examines how ontological modelling can be applied to real estate property transaction and advocates this as a basis for comparing the various processes used across Europe.

Recenzje

'This book presents the fruits of an ongoing research project that contributes towards a better understanding of property rights systems, an essential ingredient of economic development. To compare real estate transactions across different legal systems, the book presents an innovative method that aims to enhance comparability by examining the common 'ontology' of such transactions, and shows its potential by applying it to a diverse set of European cases.' Dr. Benito Arruñada, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona
