"Review of Law & Economics" will be produced four times a year in association with the European Association of Law and Economics (EALE EALE - European Association of Labour Economists). The new title publishes theoretical and empirical interdisciplinary research in law and economics-related topics and "explores the various understandings that economic approaches shed on legal institutions," BEP said. The journal focuses on the application to legal issues of new insights developed in economic disciplines such as microeconomics Microeconomics The branch of economics that analyzes the market behavior of individual consumers and firms in an attempt to understand the decision-making process of firms and households. It is concerned with the interaction between individual buyers and sellers and the factors that influence the choices made by buyers and sellers. and game theory Game Theory A model of optimality taking into consideration not only benefits less costs, but also the interaction between participants.Notes: Game theory attempts to look at the relationships between participants in a particular model and predict their optimal decisions. One frequently cited example of game theory is the prisoner's dilemma.Suppose there are two brokers accused of fraudulent trading activities: Dave and Henry., finance, econometrics Econometrics The application of statistical theories to economic ones for the purpose of forecasting future trends.Notes: Econometrics takes economic models and tests them through statistical trials. The results are then compared and contrasted against real life examples.
