2d International Meeting in Law & Economics
On June 11-12, 2015
University Paris 2 Panthéon – Assas
12, Place du Panthéon – 75005 Paris
The organization of this international workshop devoted to Law & Economics aims to establish an annual meeting in order to attract top Law & Economics scholars on a regular basis in Ile-de-France, and promote sustained interactions with the French scholars also interested in these topics. The format retained of a workshop saves more time for each speaker, and enables longer discussions with the audience than what is nowadays possible during the international conferences in the field. 8 thematic sessions of 2 papers each are planned, with a large panel of topics including:
- Economics of Procedures
- Law, Finance, and Contracts
- Economics of Litigations
- Environmental Law
- Law Enforcement and Economics of Crime
- Experimental Law & Economics
- Constitutional and Political Economics
- Intellectual Property and Innovation
