The discipline of law and economics has established itself as a credible field, known for producing plausible, empirically testable theories that explore the social functions and impacts of legal institutions. The focus on property rights within this framework has proven particularly effective. Through Economic Analysis of Property Law Cases, the author applies economic theories to real-world case law, investigating the economic challenges presented in various legal disputes and evaluating the decisions made by courts from an economic perspective.

By examining cases from multiple jurisdictions, including the UK, US, Germany, Belgium, and Canada, the book facilitates international comparisons. These comparisons highlight that, despite differing legal systems, many legal issues share common economic foundations. Consequently, similar models of economic analysis can be utilized across borders. The findings underscore that the discipline of law and economics not only excels in creating explanatory models but also enhances the consideration and resolution of legal conflicts in individual cases, ultimately bridging the gap between theory and practice.
