Considers how research in psychology offers new perspectives on
property law, and suggests avenues of reform Property law governs
the acquisition, use and transfer of resources. It resolves
competing claims to property, provides legal rules for
transactions, affords protection to property from interference by
the state, and determines remedies for injury to property rights.
In seeking to accomplish these goals, the law of property is
concerned with human cognition and behavior. How do we allocate
property, both initially and over time, and what factors determine
the perceived fairness of those distributions? What social and
psychological forces underlie determinations that certain uses of
property are reasonable? What remedies do property owners prefer?
The Psychology of Property Law explains how assumptions about human
judgement, decision-making and behavior have shaped different
property rules and examines to what extent these assumptions are
supported by the research. Employing key findings from psychology,
the book considers whether property law’s goals could be achieved
more successfully with different rules. In addition, the book
highlights property laws and conflicts that offer productive areas
for further behaviorally-informed research. The book critically
addresses several topics from property law for which psychology has
a great deal to contribute. These include ownership and possession,
legal protections for residential and personal property, takings of
property by the state, redistribution through property law, real
estate transactions, discrimination in housing and land use, and
remedies for injury to property.
