Aims and Scope

The Review of Law & Economics (RLE) is published in cooperation with the European Association of Law and Economics (EALE) and the Berkeley Electronic Press. The Review publishes theoretical and empirical interdisciplinary research in law and economics-related subjects. The Journal explores the various understandings that economic approaches shed on legal institutions.

The Review specializes in the application to legal issues of insights developed in economic disciplines such as microeconomics and game theory, finance, econometrics, and decision theory, as well as in related disciplines such as political economy and public choice, behavioral economics and social psychology, and evolutionary biology.

Unlike traditional journals in law and economics, The Review of Law & Economics is published over the Internet, avoiding much of the delays and hassle of print publication. The electronic content in the journal appears continuously, as articles are accepted for publication. The journal also publishes two special issues at the end of every year, the first with papers from the European Association of Law and Economics annual symposium, and the second on a timely special topic.

As one of the Berkeley Electronic Press journals, we are dedicated to revolutionizing the academic publishing process.

What scholars are saying about Review of Law & Economics

As a professor and supervisor of PhD students I found that many articles in this journal were extremely useful for scientific research. I found the excellent insights connected with the recent world challenges like climate change and economic crisis to be most important.
