Law and Economics
Guideline:
Covers studies about issues related to the intersection of law and economics. Studies emphasizing the economic analysis of law (equity or efficiency) should be classified here. While studies emphasizing the actual effects (empirical studies) of law on the performance of an economy, a sector or sectors of an economy, or individual agents should be cross-classified here and under the other appropriate category or categories. Studies about these subjects related to economic development should be cross-classified here and under O17, and those related to socialist and transitional economies (or other economic systems) should be cross-classified here and under P37 (or P48). Studies about the market for legal services should be classified under L84.
Covers general studies about issues related to law and economics, including survey articles, data and their sources, and textbooks. Also covers studies about the broad issues related to the economics of legal principles and the effects of legal institutions on the performance of economies.
