General Information on the Course

The course deals with economic analyses and consequences of laws and legal measures:

  • Property Right
  • Criminal Law
  • Contract Law

Economists are particularly interested in the rational behaviour of individuals; these behaviours are limited/changed by the legal situation. 
Relevant questions can be:

  • Who really bears the burden of capital gains tax?
  • Does a more severe punishment lead to less criminality?
  • How can contracts be designed so that there is as little breach of contract as possible?
  • Should companies merge when they operate in the same markets?
