This comprehensive and established book - first published in German
- explains the new approach of law and economics to civil law.
Written by two of Europe's leading scholars in the field, it
provides a thorough yet accessible economic analysis of tort law,
contract law and property law, with particular emphasis placed on
legal cases and doctrines from civil law. The authors first review
the basic concepts of both normative and positive economics and
their links to institutional economics. They move on to develop the
economic rationales of tort law and examine the different concepts
involved. They also investigate contracts, especially sales
contracts, quasi contracts, and pre-contractual duties which play a
prominent role in civil law countries. Finally, they provide a
comprehensive overview of the economic functions and legal forms of
property law. Throughout, the authors analyse and evaluate the
complexities of civil law using economic theory, and clearly
demonstrate that the legal forms found in civil law frequently
serve the purpose of increasing a nation's wealth. This outstanding
volume is the first law and economics textbook that concentrates on
civil law. It integrates legal doctrines with economic reasoning,
and lucidly explains the concepts involved. It requires no prior
knowledge of either economics or law and will undoubtedly become
the requisite textbook in the field for all students of law, law
and economics and business administration. It will also be of great
value to academics and practitioners interested in an overview of
this area.
