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. 606 $aLiability (Law)$xEconomic aspects 606 $aLaw and economics 615 0$aLiability (Law)$xEconomic aspects. 615 0$aLaw and economics. 676 $a346.0322 686 $aPU 5340$2rvk 700 $aShavell$b Steven$f1946-$0118903 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778167203321 996 $aEconomic analysis of accident law$91766198 997 $aUNINA
