The summer school “The Law and Economics of Human Behavior and Social Norms” explores the dynamic interactions between human behavior, social norms, and legal institutions. The summer school goes beyond traditional law and economics approaches, integrating recent insights from behavioral research, experimental economics, and political psychology to develop a more comprehensive understanding of legal and economic phenomena. At its core lies the recognition that legal institutions do not operate in a vacuum, but are embedded within a complex web of social norms, political incentives, and cognitive constraints. The summer school provides participants with the theoretical foundations and methodological tools to analyze these interconnections and to understand their implications for designing effective legal and economic institutions. The program offers an innovative perspective that transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries and opens up new avenues for research and practice.
Courses include:
Applying Public Choice to Law and Economics
