‘. . . interesting publication . . . The coverage is world wide and the articles consist of an introduction to a particular area and its literature by an expert in the field followed by a bibliography for that area. In all, the editors estimate over 20,000 publications and journals are contained in these bibliographies. This is an ambitious project, but it is to the credit of the company that they have been prepared to undertake it. As commented in earlier reviews of similar collections, the opportunity to refer to a whole range of articles in one collection like this is a great boon to serious researchers and Edward Elgar is to be commended for their contributions in these areas.’
– Talking Politics
‘The Encyclopedia of Law and Economics endeavours to provide the kind of encylopedic coverage – comprehensive and sophisticated but lucid, international without being esoteric, uniform without being monochrome, collective but individual – that the field of law and economics requires. It will help to make the field accessible to outsiders and to promote mutual intelligibility among insiders. It provides a meeting place for and an overview of scholarship, and will thus help to unify and advance the field. It is a milestone in an advancing field.’
– from the Foreword by Richard A. Posner
The Encyclopedia of Law and Economics is a monumental reference work that surveys the entire literature on law and economics in over 3,000 pages. The entries consist of two elements: a review of the literature written by an authority in the field and a bibliography which covers most of the published material in the particular area.
