Abstract

Law and economics has certainly been the most successful intellectual movement in the law of the past fifty years, although its impact varies widely across both countries and branches of the law. In particular, its influence on Spanish public law has been quite modest, although it seems to be increasing. After explaining what law and economics is and which its premises are, this paper shows why it is useful to analyze the law from an economic point of view and how to do it properly.
