Law and Economics Seminar II
(Same as ECON 354). This seminar will examine current research by lawyers and economists on a variety of topics in law and economics. Several sessions of the seminar will consist of an invited speaker, usually from another university, who will discuss his or her current research. Representative of these sessions have been discussions of compensation for government regulations and takings, liability rules for controlling accidents, the definition of markets in antitrust analysis, the role of the government as a controlling shareholder, and optimal drug patent length. Students may take both Law and Economics Seminar I and Law and Economics Seminar II in any order (neither is a prerequisite for the other); however, students may not take either course more than once.
