Features: Law and economics is a new research field in China, but it has been quite popular in Europe and America. Almost no one in the United States who receives legal education has not encountered law and economics, and many universities in Europe offer graduate courses in law and economics. As a popular textbook in European and American universities, this book successfully combines law and economics, providing a unique economic approach to the study of legal systems and rules. The book consists of 12 chapters, with the first three introducing the basic tools of economic and legal analysis, explaining why lawyers should study economics and why economists should study law. The last eight chapters introduce the application of economic theory in major legal fields such as property law, contract law, tort law, crime and punishment, featuring both theoretical analysis and case studies. Especially in the third edition, the author has added a teacher's manual and launched a website to provide materials specifically related to this book and law and economics.
