Topic: Law and economics

Ads by Google      Economics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Economics (from the Greek οίκος [oikos], 'family, household, estate', and νομος [nomos], 'custom, law', hence "household management" and "management of the state") is a social science that typically studies the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. Microeconomics, which examines the economic behaviour of individual actors such as businesses, households, and individuals, with a view to understand decision making in the face of scarcity and the consequences of these decisions. Various schools of heterodox economics, for instance socialist economics, green economics and associative economics, seek to explain economic phenomena using different basic assumptions, for example by emphasising that economics is primarily concerned with exchanges of values. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economics   (5050 words)      Department of Economics at State University of New York - New Paltz Economic theory is often fruitfully applied to the analysis of public and private policy issues on international trade, the environment, taxation and economic behavior, distribution of wealth and poverty, discrimination, law, labor relations, health and safety, agriculture, insurance, finance, and business. Economics study is fundamental in legal practice because economic regulations can be legally complex, and many legal issues and law suits involve questions of economics. The goals of economics are to better understand the world in which we live, and to contribute to the development of private and public sector policies which could more adequately address the well-being of the society. http://www.newpaltz.edu/economics   (522 words)      IVR - Encyclopaedia of Jurisprudence, Legal Theory and Philosophy of Law Economic analysis of law, or as it is sometimes called “law and economics,” is at present the largest and most influential interdisciplinary field of legal studies, at least in the United States, though its influence is growing elsewhere, particularly in Europe, Latin America, and East Asia (including China, Japan, and Taiwan). The distinctive characteristic of that school is the recourse to economics both to explain the procedures, institutions, and substantive doctrines of the law and to propose reforms in those procedures, institutions, and doctrines. The two schools of economic analysis of law—what I have termed the Continental and the Anglo-American—merge when the focus of analysis shifts from the legal systems of the wealthy nations to the legal systems of poor nations, including the nations of the former Soviet bloc. http://www.ivr-enc.info/en/article.php?id=41   (2254 words)      George Mason University School of Law: Faculty: Faculty Publications “Coase Theorem and Transaction Cost Economics in the Law,” in Elgar Companion to Law and Economics, Backhaus, ed., at 7-39 (Elgar, 1999). “The Welfare Effects of Soft Dollar Brokerage: Law and Economics”, cowriter (monograph forthcoming from the Association for Investment Management and Research).

And as with any economic policy, the key to the success of such copyright and patent law and policy lies in the ability to recognize and take advantage of the economic features of information goods as intellectual property, in order to promote or achieve specific social policy goals. These state laws were grounded in Locke’s natural rights theory, having as general goals the securing of authors’ rights, the promotion of learning, creating an ordered book trade, and preventing monopoly (Bettig, 1996). http://excellent.com.utk.edu/~bates/papers/ica99fu.html   (400 words)      Definition of Law and economics Normative law and economics goes one step further and makes policy recommendations based on the economic consequences of various policies. Because most law and economics scholarship operates within a neoclassical framework, fundamental criticisms of neoclassical economics have been applied to work in law and economics. Economic analysis of law is usually divided into two subfields, positive and normative. http://www.wordiq.com/definition/Law_and_economics   (400 words)      chapter14 The existence of biblical economic blueprints is loudly denied by Douglas Vickers, a Keynesian economist and defender of the "mixed economy" who has presented his case against Christian economics in the name of the Bible and Cornelius Van Til's presuppositional apologetics. The pronouncement by the judge or the jury regarding the fit between the law and the public act of the accused is to be based solely on the law and the evidence. and then proclaims as the Christian economic standard an even greater extension of the range of State economic intervention than is promoted by the twentieth century's principle of the mixed economy. http://freebooks.entrewave.com/freebooks/docs/html/gnbd/Chapter14.htm   (14787 words)      Amitai Etzioni's Vita - Articles Law and economics scholars tend to use the first elements of each of these pairs (environmental factors, predetermination, and intentional choice) to integrate social norms into their models, to depict the actor as a free agent, and to portray the social order as based on aggregations of voluntary agreements. Law and economics proponents argue that while their paradigm may be unrealistic, it is highly parsimonious (or "simple") and thus generates valid predictions even if based on false models. Neoclassical economists, law and economics scholars, and even some students of social norms try to obviate the need to modify their basic paradigms by arguing that when people abide by norms for what seems like intrinsic predispositions they actually have extrinsic motivations, such as aiming to please their friends or acquiring prestige. http://www.gwu.edu/~ccps/etzioni/A277.html   (14787 words)      LHR 15:2 Forum Economic Analysis of Law, while not necessarily providing the novel theoretical insights of Coase's and Calabresi's work, has been recognized as a counterpoint to Calabresi and a text that establishes the domain of law and neoclassical economics. As an adherent to neoclassical economics, Calabresi had to consider how the possible benefits of loss spreading and deep pockets were counterbalanced by the need to reduce the "primary" costs of accidents (accident costs and the costs of their reduction). Neoclassical economics leaves only two viable alternatives among the three (social insurance, private insurance, and enterprise liability) originally posed by Calabresi: private insurance and enterprise liability. http://www.press.uillinois.edu/journals/lhrtoc/lhr15_2frm.html   (12758 words)      Multiplier (economics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For various laissez-faire schools of economics which embrace Say's Law and deny the possibility of Keynesian inefficiency and under-employment of resources, therefore, the multiplier concept is irrelevant or wrong-headed. The multiplier effect arises because of the induced increases in consumer spending which occur due to the increased incomes-- and because of the feedback into increasing business revenues, jobs, and income again. The eventual amount by which output expands is governed by the marginal propensity to save, which is the proportion of extra income that is saved rather than consumed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplier_(economics)   (779 words)      Islamic economics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Islamic economics is economics in accordance with Islamic law. The Islamic bank then purchases that vehicle in its name, and sells it to the client at a marked-up price, under an agreement that the new marked-up price of the vehicle must be paid in a certain number of installments of a certain time period. Islamic economic institutions, not just the Islamic bank but all those connected with Islamic banking, claim to operate on the basis of "zero interest." However, critics of Islamic economics argue that the fundamental characteristic of charging interest (i.e. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_economics   (779 words)      Law and Economics [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] Coase, Ronald, “The Problem of Social Cost,” 3 Journal of Law and Economics 1 (1960) Another argument for the fertility of the economic analysis of law is that it has spawned a number of further tools that seem analytically helpful for understanding legal institutions.  Three of the most important of these are the results of behavioral economics, game theory and public choice theory.

Economic analysis of law has expanded dramatically in recent years. It is more correct from an economic viewpoint to consider it as a regulation of contracts between physicians and patients (therefore it is treated in the volume on the regulation of contracts and not in the general part on tort law). http://encyclo.findlaw.com/general.html   (1016 words)      Islamic banking - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Islamic banking refers to a system of banking or banking activity which is consistent with Islamic law (Sharia) principles and guided by Islamic economics. Economists, however, believe that interest is a natural phenomenon, and one can indeed see from an economic perspective that Islamic banking is based on interest banking, in the sense of compensating investors for the time value of money [2]. One form of the argument against interest is that money is not a good and profit should be earned on goods and services only, not on control of money itself. http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_bank   (1625 words)      CV-Print Brennan's research interests include electricity restructuring; law and economics; space economics and policy; and technology policy, regulation, and innovation.

In modern times wars are the most common cause of inflation, as government borrowing, the increase in the money supply, and a diminished supply of consumer goods increase demand relative to supply and thereby cause rising prices. http://reference.allrefer.com/encyclopedia/I/inflatio.html   (679 words)      ECONOMICS OF LEVERAGED LEASING Because some of the economic benefit of leveraged leasing comes from tax benefits, it is to be expected that changes in the tax law or rates can have a substantial economic impact on a transaction. The yield rate is the rate at which both the investment balance and sinking fund balance are zero at the end of the lease. The effect is to allocate the cash flow to the debt balance and the equity balance in proportion to the leverage, while calculating the debt expense after tax according to the interest rate and tax rate in effect at that time. http://www.interet.com/article-econlevlease.htm   (11966 words)      The Crisis of Keynesian Economics by Geoffrey Pilling To historians of economic theory the triumph of the neoclassical synthesis should appear as most inappropriate, for the basis of Keynes’s formal training in the economics of Ricardo and Marshall left a strong imprint on his own contributions to economic theory. They see such things as increased advertising expenditures, the economic activities of the state and growing expenditure on arms as the principal means whereby capitalism disposes of its economic surpluses. Keynes’ theory is based on the proposition that three variables, the propensity to consume (consumption function), the inducement to invest (the marginal efficiency of capital) and the rate of interest (liquidity preference), in their interaction, determine the limits within which the national income fluctuates. http://www.marxists.org/archive/pilling/works/keynes/ch03.htm   (16582 words)      Economics Calendar Entry One, or in some cases two, courses in Economics are allowed as credits for degree/diploma curricula in the Faculties of Education and Law.

In the era of full-world economics, this threat is real and is met by liquidating stocks of natural capital to temporarily keep up the flows of natural resources that support the value of manmade capital. More on Complementarity Versus Substitutability The main issue is the relation between natural capital which yields a flow of natural resources and services that enter the process of production, and the manmade capital that serves as an agent in the process for transforming the resource inflow into a product outflow. http://www.fs.fed.us/eco/eco-watch/ew920714   (424 words)      Law and Economics [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] One of the virtues of the economic analysis of law is that, contrary to our unschooled intuitions, it can see such disparate areas as contract, tort and criminal law as all based upon economic aims, therefore giving law a more coherent basis than other theories can offer. Further, it is argued that while such concepts are unhelpfully complex, the tools of economic analysis and the concept of economic efficiency are sufficiently clear to provide the judge a solid and predictable basis of decision. Every potential satisfaction is implicated in the calculus of economic satisfactions and therefore can be investigated according to economic or means-end rationality and the trade-off of costs and benefits. http://www.iep.utm.edu/l/law-econ.htm   (3454 words)      BUBL LINK: Economics research It is one of the largest libraries in the world devoted exclusively to the social sciences, with particular strength in economics, government and politics, international, political, economic and social history, international law, international relations, social policy and public administration, sociology, and statistics (economic, political, and social).
