Summary
Blanket norms and vague legal concepts open the door for the judge to take account of the homo oeconomicus in the process of decision-making. But does he really has the economic man in mind, who always thinks self-interested and in terms of economics? Are there varying traditions and customs depending on the legal area? How reflected is the application of this behaviour model?
