Author Description

The Law and Economic Anthology was constructed with the idea that it would contain edited versions of a selection of classic and interesting articles from the law and economics literature. Topics covered in the anthology include the basics of economic analysis, the Coase theorem, the debate over the Coase theorem, property, contracts, torts, criminal law, and the efficiency of the common law. Care was taken to include central articles in the economic analysis of law, as well as critiques of these articles to ensure lively classroom discussion.
