Critical Comments --References --IndexAccident law, if properly designed, is capable of reducing the incidence of mishaps by making people act more cautiously. Scholarly writing on this branch of law traditionally has been concerned with examining the law for consistency with felt notions of right and duty. Since the 1960's, however, a group of legal scholars and economists have focused on identifying the effects of accident law on people's behavior. Steven Shavell's book is the definitive synthesis of research to date in this new field.Liability (Law)Economic aspectsLaw and economicsElectronic books.Liability (Law)Economic aspects.Law and economics.346.0322PU 5340rvkShavell Steven1946-118903MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910455117403321Economic analysis of accident law1766198UNINA
