Beyond Law and Economics: Regulatory Theory
Last Updated Date:   9 June 2009


4 Credits,  Semester 1

Course Description:
This seminar will explore the emerging field of 'regulatory theory'. Regulatory theory adopts a economic approach to the relationship between law and social regulation. But it is one that differs significantly from that which informs 'law and economics'. Regulatory theory focuses more on macroeconomic dynamics rather than microeconomic dynamics. It focuses more on the role that markets play in social ordering, not just on their economic functionalism. And it is more concerned with issues of economic and regulatory evolution, not just those of economic and regulatory efficiency.
