Journal of Law, Economics, and Organization

Aims & Scope

The Journal of Law, Economics, and Organization is an interdisciplinary exercise.

It seeks to promote an understanding of many complex phenomena by examining such matters from a combined law, economics, and organization perspective (or a two-way combination thereof).

In this connection, we use the term organization broadly - to include scholarship drawing on political science, psychology and sociology, among other fields.

It also holds the study of institutions - especially economic, legal, and political institutions - to be specifically important and greatly in need of careful analytic study.
