Students will gain an overview of the field of economic analysis of law, which involves analyzing legal rules from the perspective of economic theory. It focuses on the interaction of legal norms with the actions of private households and companies, as well as the impact of constitutional law on government actions. Students should learn to analyze legal norms in terms of their efficiency and economic effects, including microeconomic efficiency, as well as growth and distribution effects. They should also be able to assess why specific legal norms have developed historically as we know them today.
