A comprehensive presentation of the use of economics in judicial decisions, the book is structured to provide all the foundational concepts that are important for the application of economics to the development and interpretation of statutes that emanate from economic conditions. The diversity of the economic field defines the scope of the book and its relevance to the study of law and rule adjudication. Beyond the positive dimensions of law and economics, the book evaluates the normative aspects of law and economics when laws are imprecise, and markets are inefficient. The ethical scope of transactions and rule adjudication are further considered in the context of professional ethics and the rationale for ethical considerations in the practice of law and economics. It presents a unique analysis of law, finance, and economics, by taking a look at the intricate quantitative requirements that are essential for scientific knowledge in the courtroom and the international dimensions of the practice of law and economics beyond municipal frontiers. It alerts entrepreneurs to risk exposures in the global economy and provides foundational information for readers who are also interested in international law and economics, and the essence and interpretations of international conventions appertaining to money, expropriation, the environment, and investments in international financial markets. This book is a useful reference for both undergraduate and graduate students who are interested in law and economics, forensic economics, corporate white-collar crime, and legal studies. It is also valuable for certificate programs for paralegals who wish to have a basic understanding of economic and financial concepts.

Institutional profit realization has become highly contingent on research education, investment, and planning; yet, the methodology of research may not be clear to young researchers or students of Economics and Management Science. In Research and Profit Maximization in Finance and Economics, author Christopher Warburton breaks the methodology of research into three component parts: the essence of research; avenues from which data on economic indicators could be obtained; and the estimation of assorted models for forecasting economic indicators to maximize profit. The central concept of profit maximization is presented to incorporate the optimization problem in Economics. The substitution, Langrangean, graphing, and linear programming methods of optimization are fully explained. Data and model discussions include practical examples of stationary and non-stationary data, as well as univariate, multivariate, and atheoretic (Box-Jenkins) regression models. Research and Profit Maximization in Finance and Economics is a concise presentation to meet notable challenges in academic and business research, which involve data collection, basic data estimation, forecasting, and profit maximization.
