课程简介
本课程（“法律经济学01 班”）是为本科双学位学生开设的任选课。它利用精选的习惯法判例和经典学术论文，通过苏格拉底式的讨论，向学生传授普适的经济分析原理，并示范运用经济学原理分析法律和管制现象的独特视角。欢迎对经济学、法学和公共政策感兴趣的同学选修。
本课程不需要法律和经济学基础，但需要刻苦阅读。由于阅 读材料为英文且数量较大，建议同学们一开始就组成3-5 人的学习小组，充分利用团队的力量，克服可能存在的困难。课堂讨论和考试用中文。期末总评成绩由两次期中随堂闭卷测验（各占15%）、一次期末闭卷考试 （占50%）和平时成绩（占20%）构成。
上课时间：周四7:40pm – 9:30pm, 周六10:10am – 12:00am; 上课地点：二教301
办公室答疑时间：周四上午
Overview
This course teaches the students economic way of thinking by subjecting the phenomenon of law and regulation in their broadest sense to economic analysis. Though a lot of materials used in this course are related to U.S. common law, this is not a course in law. Rather, it is a course introducing the universal economic analysis and its use in examining the phenomenon of law and regulation. Anyone who is interested in learning economics and its application is welcome to take the course.
Requirement
No prior knowledge of either law or economics is required, though a sound understanding of basic microeconomics is surely beneficial. Reading load is demanding, not only because almost all of them are in English but also because they are rather voluminous. It is highly encouraged for the students to form study groups in size of 3-5 persons from the very beginning of the semester and stick to that so to take full advantage of the teamwork.
Language
Almost all readings are in English, while lectures, discussions and examinations shall be conducted in Chinese.
Textbook and Readings
1. Butler, H., and Drahozal, C., Economic Analysis for Lawyers, 2nd Edition, Carolina Academic Press
2. Supplementary handouts
3. The Concise Encyclopedia Economics http://www.econlib.org/library/CEE.html
Assignment
Among others, each student will be assigned, or volunteer, two court cases or academic papers to be presented in the class. Each presentation is in two parts: (1) summary of the case/paper and (2) Q&A,each of which is supposed to be limited in 5 minutes in length.
Grades
The final grade will be based upon two closed-book mid-term exams (20 percent each), a closed-book final exam (40 percent), and classroom performance (20 percent).
Major Topics
1. Introduction
2. Normative Economics
3. Choice and Cost under Uncertainty
4. Property Rights
5. Market and Price System
6. Coase Theorem
7. Property Rules vs. Liability Rules
8. Tort Law
9. Contract Law
10. Antitrust Law
11. Constitutional Economics
12. Evolution of Law
Note
My lecture does not simply replicate materials available in the required textbook and handouts. Students should take careful notes since my lecture comprises important elements of the course and part of the examinable syllabus.
