Recht und Verhalten

Behavioral economics, which aims at giving economics more realistic behavioral underpinnings, has its legal counterpart in what US lawyers have called »Behavioral Law and Economics«. The field investigates the limitations of economic analysis from both a theoretical and an empirical angle, and studies the significance of these insights for the law. The papers in this volume address the ensuing issues of legal theory, examine the relevance of behavioral research for individual fields of law, and explore the chances for a direct cooperation between the law and psychology.
