This textbook presents a broad examination of law and economics, including the questions of economic justice raised by the application of economics to law. It explores both conventional analysis and examines how that analysis may be affected by behavioral findings. A primary focus is on how economic analysis holds up in markets that are often defined by rights, perceived duties, and obligations. Chapters include the tools of analysis, behavioral economics, the Coase Theorem, contract law, tort law, criminal law, government regulation, antitrust, and intellectual property.
