Law and economics incorporates economic analysis to predict human responses in legal environments. Traditionally, neo-classical economic theories were used to evaluate how rational actors would respond to law.

Behavioural economics is used to strengthen the predictive and analytical power of policymakers and economists to determine how people will respond to laws and regulations. In this unit, students will explore how law moderates behaviour, and how behavioural factors can be used to achieve legal outcomes, like deterring undesirable, or encouraging positive, behaviours. Beginning with a study of traditional economic principles and exploring traditional law and economic scholarship, students will gain insights into the differences offered by behavioural law and economics to aid in the development of meaningful legal interventions.
