Property Rights Dynamics: A Law and Economics Perspective

by Donatella Porrini (Editor), Giovanni Ramello (Editor)

Overview

Issues such as the patentability of scientific ideas, the market for organs and open source software are hotly debated and yet poorly understood. In particular, there is a great need for sound economic theorizing on such issues.

There is also a need for a clear and concise exposition of the state-of-the-art of the economics of property rights. This book fulfils these various needs.
