Author: Feng Yujun
Publisher:
Publish Date: 2006-10-01
Features: This book is based on the international exchange and innovation of law and economics, using the institutional economic analysis of historical materialism as a benchmark, the empiricalization and localization of law and economics as its tone, and the new developments and new topics in law and economics research as its standard. It invites young and middle-aged scholars with significant expertise and contributions in law and economics research in mainland China, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, and Taiwan who have published or are about to publish outstanding law and economics papers, to contribute their works. This aims to comprehensively showcase the new achievements of law and economics in China after it has taken root, focusing on its empiricalization and localization. Thus, it fills the "gap" of law and economics in China in the nearly two decades since its introduction, which has been more inclined towards translation and qualitative research and less towards application and empirical analysis. Furthermore, by providing an in-depth review of the international movement of law and economics, it enables Chinese law and economics scholars to stand at the forefront of international academic exchange as a cohesive group. — Jiang Ping
