Cover The Legal Foundations of Micro-Institutional Performance
The Legal Foundations of Micro-Institutional Performance
A Heterodox Law & Economics Approach
Sarah S. Klammer
and
Eric A. Scorsone
The aim of The Legal Foundations of Micro-Institutional Performance is to introduce the reader to a different way of thinking about economics that will allow them to both understand and apply legal concepts to economic analysis. To this end, it adopts and further develops Wesley Hohfeld’s legal framework of jural (legal) relations as a tool of analysis. This analytical tool, as built into the Legal-Economic Performance framework, provides specific direction in identifying and describing interdependence among economic agents (including rights, duties, liberties and exposure to various acts).
