Aim of EMLE is to provide students with advanced knowledge in ‘Law and Economics’ (L&E). This integrated discipline studies economic effects of legal rules and the legal bases of economic efficiency. A comparative approach is used to evaluate strengths/weaknesses of alternative legal rules from an economic viewpoint.

L&E builds on the insight that economics is a behavioural science, able to explain and predict how people act under various legal conditions, revealing which legal instruments are most efficient in addressing market failures (e.g. market power, negative externalities (e.g. pollution and risk-creation), and information-asymmetry (e.g. between producers and consumers)). Economic analysis also informs policymakers about economic effects of rules aiming at other social goals than efficiency.

Scholarship Benefits:

By studying economic rationales of lawmaking, L&E provides a positive analysis of and normative benchmark for the actions of policymakers, administrative agencies and courts. L&E has become increasingly relevant in the modern policy debate. EMLE is a 1-year Master covering all major fields of L&E, from the traditional fields of private law, competition policy and economic regulation to analyses of international and EU law, Law & Finance, innovation and the digital economy. Insights from behavioural economics are included in the curriculum.
