Mutuazione: 20101055 ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF LAW(ANALISI ECONOMICA DEL DIRITTO) in GIURISPRUDENZA LMG/01 N0 ROJAS ELGUETA GIACOMO

Programme

The purpose of the course is to analyse the legal phenomenon through the economic lens and, more specifically, through the notions of neoclassical economics. The predictive ability, typical of the economic reasoning, allows one to determine which incentives are placed on individuals by different laws and, consequently, which effects should be reasonably expected from the adoption of a certain rule. The “Law and Economics” method aims at selecting efficient rules capable of maximizing the social welfare. The course reckons the most recent developments of “Law and Economics” and in particular addresses the “Behavioral Law and Economics” method, which supplements the rational choice theory with the insights of cognitive psychology.
