Those not learned in the economic arts believe that economics is
either solely or essentially concerned with commercial relations.
And, so it was, originally. Then, in the second half of the 20th
century, economists began applying their minimalist but sturdy
tools to other human activities such as marriage, child-bearing,
crime, religion and social groups. In this spirit, the Research
Handbook on the Economics of Family Law gives us a series of
original essays by distinguished scholars in economics, law or
both. The essays represent a variety of approaches to the field.
Many contain extensive surveys of the literature with respect to
the particular question they address. Some employ empirical
economics, others are more narrowly legal. They have in common one
thing: each scholar employs a core economic tool or insight to shed
light on some aspect of family law and social institutions broadly
understood. Topics covered include: divorce, child support, infant
feeding, abortion access, prostitution, the decline in marriage,
birth control and incentives for partnering. This comprehensive and
enlightening volume will be a valuable reference for those
interested in law and economics generally and family law in
particular. Contributors: D.W. Allen, L.R. Cohen, S. Cunningham, K.
Dickinson, A.W. Dnes, T. Green, M. Guldi, M. Hanlon, T.D. Kendall,
J. Klick, R.I. Lerman, J. Price, B. Stevenson, T. Stratmann, A.L.

The law and economics movement came of age in the second half of
the 20th century and had a profound effect on both the scholarship
and practice of law. The specially commissioned essays in this book
honor the pioneering contributions of those who created the
foundation of the modern law and economics enterprise. The editors
of the volume embrace a view of the field that is inclusive not
only of a broad range of issues, but also of economic methods.
Celebrated here as the founding pioneers of law and economics is a
remarkably varied collection of scholars: applied and theoretical
micro-economists, founders of public choice economics, and legal
scholars and judges. They include: Ronald Coase, Aaron Director,
George Stigler, Armen Alchian, Harold Demsetz, Benjamin Klein,
James Buchanan, Gordon Tullock, Henry Manne, Richard Posner, Gary
Becker, William Landes, Richard Epstein, Guido Calabresi, Frank
Easterbrook, Daniel Fischel, Steven Shavell and A. Mitchell
Polinsky. Contributors to the volume include other pioneers, former
students and clerks, colleagues, and influential scholars in the
field. Scholars and students working in the tradition of law and
economics, as well as those in the fields of economics, law and
public policy will find the book an essential reference for this
important area of scholarship.

The Fourth Edition of Antitrust Law in Perspective has been
thoroughly refreshed with new cases, new, revised, and updated
Notes and Sidebars, some new Problems, and added content to help
facilitate class discussion of the competition challenges of
digital markets. New principal cases include NCAA v. Alston, Ohio
v. American Express, Apple v. Pepper, and United States v.
AT&T, all of which are accompanied by in-depth legal and
economic analysis and thought-provoking queries to introduce
students to the complex issues they pose. In addition, many new
cases are cited and important recent commentary is noted. The
authors have also streamlined and restructured some of the Notes
and Sidebars, a unique feature of the book, to make them more
accessible to students and easier for adopters to select the
material they would like to assign and emphasize. The Fourth
Edition also includes a new feature, four "Policy Exchanges" on
topics including whether antitrust should be part of the policy
arsenal to challenge wealth inequality, error cost analysis, the
continued vitality of the Philadelphia National Bank presumption
for mergers, and the propriety of procompetitive presumptions
associated with vertical restraints. These "point-counterpoint"
readings supplement the cases and provide discrete opportunities to
explore some of the most contentious issues facing antitrust policy
today. The book also includes two new digital market-focused case
studies to Chapters 1 and 5, respectively, to introduce basic
concepts of collusion and exclusion and the increasingly important
role of potential competition analysis. The authors are acutely
aware that the field of antitrust law may be at an inflection
point. The body of law reflected in the book is largely the product
of a generation of evolution that, until recently, seemed stable
and well-accepted, but it may now be facing a crucial test. As
always, the authors are committed to monitoring developments and
supplementing the material in the book as needed to keep adopters
and their students abreast of new cases and potential reforms.
The regulation of innovation and the optimal design of legal
institutions in an environment of uncertainty are two of the most
important policy challenges of the twenty-first century. Innovation
is critical to economic growth. Regulatory design decisions, and,
in particular, competition policy and intellectual property
regimes, can have profound consequences for economic growth.
However, remarkably little is known about the relationship between
innovation, competition, and regulatory policy. Any legal regime
must attempt to assess the tradeoffs associated with rules that
will affect incentives to innovate, allocative efficiency,
competition, and freedom of economic actors to commercialize the
fruits of their innovative labors. The essays in this book approach
this critical set of problems from an economic perspective, relying
on the tools of microeconomics, quantitative analysis, and
comparative institutional analysis to explore and begin to provide
answers to the myriad challenges facing policymakers.
