Francesco Parisi and Vincy Fon explore the process of legal rule production while considering issues of institutional design from a law and economics point of view." "The authors provide a comprehensive overview of the four fundamental sources of law: legislation, judge-made law. customary law, and international law. The defining features of these four sources are then dissected and closely examined using economic analysts and public choice theory. Each part includes an introduction into the lawmaking process for each source, and goes on to discuss such other issues as the optimal specificity of law in legislation to the theories of legal precedent, and to changes in customary lawmaking."--BOOK JACKET.
