Abstract
How does law shape economics? What implications does legal environment has on economic and political development? What legal institutions promote rule of law? How and why are courts biased? These questions have animated both economists and political scientists since centuries. In this course, we answer these questions by introducing students to the vibrant “law and economics” field. First, we explore what kind of legal institutions promote economic development and democratic accountability? Second, we discuss different determinants of judicial bias and provide evidence for them. The goal of this course, therefore, is to acquaint students with an introduction to law and economics, from an empirical perspective.
