Economics of Law: Property, Contracts and Obligations with Economic Applications

by A. W. Dnes

Economics of Law: Property, Contracts and Obligations with Economic Applications Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Dnes' Economics of Law is a straightforward, up-to-date introduction to economics of law, with economic analysis and legal principles treated in a self-contained manner as the book progresses. Both lawyers and economists can use the book without prior knowledge of each other's subject. This book includes timely coverage of the economic analysis of property, contract, criminal, tort, and procedural law with the emphasis placed on economics rather than on legal issues.

Book News Annotation:

Dnes (economics, University of Hull) applies economic principles to legal instruments and procedures, and considers how the rules of the game affect human incentives. Intended for both economics and law students, the textbook examines the formation of and conflict over property rights, traditional legal questions concerning contract law, tort law as a stimulus to accident avoidance, and criminal deterrence.
