A Decade of Advances in the Economic Analysis of Litigation

Abstract

This Special Issue marks the tenth anniversary of the “economic analysis of litigation” academic journey that began in 2014 in Catania with an international workshop. This event has since become an annual meeting point, held in various European cities and online during the pandemic. Over the past decade the field has grown substantially and the contributions collected in this issue reflect the vitality and the maturity of this research agenda. At the same time they highlight the continuing importance of understanding how litigation and judicial institutions shape economic outcomes.
