Business Law and Economics for Civil Law Systems

Business Law and Economics for Civil Law Systems highlights the relevance of economic analysis of business law from a civilian perspective. It integrates a comparative approach (common law and civil law) to economic analysis using tools and illustrations to assist in conducting critical economic analysis of rules in the field of business law.

This book is a valuable contribution to the reflection on the place and meaning of value creation and accountability as goals for business law. It provides a richer understanding of key legal institutions supporting the rule of law and democratic, market-based economies. It will be of great value to academics interested in business law, competition law, comparative law and legal theory, students studying law, business and economics, and to policymakers and regulators.
