Summary
The Encyclopedia of Law and Economics is a monumental
reference work that surveys the entire literature on law and
economics in over 3,000 pages. The entries consist of two
elements: a review of the literature written by an authority in
the field and a bibliography which covers most of the published
material in the particular area. The reviews are written in an
accessible style which will be suitable for non-specialists,
such as lawyers, judges, politicians and students as well as
scholars of law and economics. This authoritative Encyclopedia
will rapidly become established as a leading bibliographic and
reference source in law and economics. The Encyclopedia has
been divided into five volumes, each of which can be purchased
separately or as a complete set. Volume I: The History and
Methodology of Law and Economics includes entries on general
works, the history of law and economics around the world,
schools and approaches, and the general structure of the law.
Volume II: Civil Law and Economics addresses private property,
intellectual property, common property, environmental
regulation and tort law. Volume III: The Regulation of
Contracts examines general contract law, the regulation of
contracts, antitrust law and competition law, employment law,
corporate law, the theory of the firm and industry sector
regulation. Volume IV: The Economics of Public and Tax Law
includes entries on tax law including property taxes, personal
income taxation and international taxation, social security
including health insurance, unemployment insurance and pensions
and administrative law, including public organisations and
administrative procedure. Volume V: The Economics of Crime and
Litigation considers judicial organisation, appeal and supreme
courts, settlement and arbitration, the economics of criminal
behaviour, organised crime and corruption, corporate criminal
liability and war law, as well as the production of legal
rules. **
