The
Economic Approach to Law, Third Edition
Thomas J. Miceli
"Thomas Miceli's book offers a thorough presentation that is both clear and challenging. It provides students with more than an introduction, indeed a broad and deep understanding of the application of economics to law."--Fred
Foldvary, San Jose State University
"Miceli's Economic Approach to Law, now in its third edition, provides a systematic and well-organized presentation of the economic approach to law. Written by a leading economist in the field, this book is rich of
content—yet accessible—as an entry-level textbook in law and economics."--Francesco Parisi, University of Minnesota
"Now in its third edition, Miceli's carefully written text is rich with many well-selected examples. It covers the basic areas of law––torts (accidents), contracts, crime, property, and litigation—as well as the subject
of antitrust, and furnishes a valuable guide to students for further reading. I know of no better book for its intended audience."--Steven Shavell, Harvard Law School
Master teacher Thomas J. Miceli provides an introduction to law and economics that reveals how economic principles can explain the structure of the law and make it more efficient.
The third edition of this seminal textbook is thoroughly updated to include recent cases and the latest scholarship, with particular attention paid to torts, contracts, property rights, and the economics of crime. A new
chapter organization, ideal for quarter- or semester-long courses, strengthens the book's focus on unifying themes in the field. As Miceli tells a cohesive, analytical "story" about law from a distinctly economic perspective, exercises and problems encourage
students to deepen their knowledge.
A companion website is available at http://www.sup.org/economiclaw. It offers a full suite of resources for both students and professors. Key pedagogical features include cases; discussion points that provide additional
analysis of topics in the book; graduate notes, which enrich the text for more advanced readers; and relevant links. Professors have access to sample syllabi for undergraduate and graduate courses and an instructor's manual, which provides answers to all of
the end-of-chapter questions and problems in the book.
Thomas J. Miceli is Professor of Economics at the University of Connecticut.
