Temelji ekonomske analize prava
Economic analysis of law encompasses all subject areas that are important for any legal system and non-economic factors. The author provides an overview of topics that connect economics and legal sciences.
Over the past 30 years, Steven Shavell has been one of the most prolific and influential authors in the field of economic analysis of law. In this book, the author provides a detailed analysis and synthesis of an economic approach to the elements of the legal system, specifically property law, tort law, contract law, criminal law, and civil litigation. He also explores the legal process of welfare economics and the question of morality.
Most of the book's sections are organized around models of behavior and the legal system, and the analysis is non-technical (all mathematics is contained in footnotes). Legal readers without any formal background in economics should easily understand the book. At the same time, economists should find the book's content naturally intellectually appealing and should not have any difficulty due to the lack of legal background, since the law discussed is mostly common knowledge or nearly so.
