Palgrave Pivots in Institutions, Economics and Law

Law and Economics is an interdisciplinary field of research that has emerged in recent decades, with research output increasing dramatically and academic programmes in law and economics multiplying. Increasingly, legal cases have an economic dimension and economic matters depend on rules and regulations. Increasingly, economists have realized that “institutions matter” because they influence economic activities. Increasingly, too, economics is used to improve our understanding of how institutions and how legal systems work.  This Palgrave Pivot series studies the intersection between law and economics, and addresses the need for greater interaction between the two disciplines
